Re: problems saving using save as in text edit and pages
Hello Marlaina, Have you checked that Quick Nav isn't active? It can screw up all kinds of commands. Cheers, Anne On 29 Nov 2010, at 04:46, Marlaina Lieberg wrote: > Ok, this is a weird one!

Re: using speech commands on the Mac
Speech commands have been available on the Mac for years, long before VoiceOver, so I doubt they'll be improved much in the future. I've never found them useful.

RE: using speech commands on the Mac
Thank you, donna. Yeah! I tried for over 4 days, about 4 months ago to get the speech to work and it was a total bust. As a major Star Trek fan, I would love nothing more than to be able to talk to my Mac. I'm sure, as time moves forward so will speech access.

Receiving My Own Replies To Messages Sent To Lists
Hello Everyone, I'm really sleepy so I'll keep this short and simple. I subscribe to all my Google Lists using iMap. I use both Apple Mail and Outlook and I use Outlook on more than one PC. I have confirmed that it is only when I use my Apple Mail client that when I reply to a thread, I do not see it in my Inbox. I want to be perfectly clear; when replying to threads in Outlook, I see my replies in both my Outlook Inbox and my Apple Mail Inbox, just as I should. So, this confirms that some setting in Apple Mail has been changed since I upgrated to 10.6.5 that I have yet to locate. I realize that there is a CC Myself setting in Apple Mail but this will copy me on every outgoing message which is unnecessary. So, if anyone has any idea on what setting I should adjust, I would greatly appreciate it. For some reason, I greatly dislike not seeing my replies in threads for, sometimes, I lose the flow of the conversation. Finally, it should be noted that because I do not have this problem in Outlook there is nothing to adjust at the Google server level or at the Google Group mailing list level, either. All suggestions welcomed. Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

My thought exactly, I guess we are not quite ready for the 24th centery. But I don't know why we can talk to a computer over the phone for other tasks and the mac cant do simple voice recognition.

Re: no night without stars
I'm finding that the descriptions I get don't match the background image selected.

Update to: Receiving My Own Replies To Messages Sent To Lists
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, OK, it seems as though this bug in Apple Mail has been going on for quite a while, now from as far back as 10.4. I did some searching on the net and found the following entries. At least I now know that I am not losing my mind. Read on: Mark Vanishing sent messages in Apple Mail 4.3 Posted: Oct 28, 2010 6:24 AM ReplyEmail I'm using Mac OS 10.6.4 with Apple Mail 4.3 and I've experienced a bug recently. I noticed that some of my messages, either new ones from scratch or replies to received messages, simply vanished. If the message was a reply, I can't find it back by clicking on the curly arrow next to the name of the original message. A friend also experienced the same problems and we unfortunately can't replicate or find a logic to this bug. Searching doesn't do the trick, I'm using IMAP and it's also gone on the server but people receive these messages apparently. Technote: MailTags and Mail Act-On are installed. Has anyone experience the same problem and manage to isolate the cause of it? Thanks in advance for your help. MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.6.4) Munkoli Posts: 3 Registered: Mar 14, 2008 Re: Vanishing sent messages in Apple Mail 4.3 Posted: Nov 1, 2010 12:03 PMin response to: Nicolas Robel Reply Email I have the EXACT same problem. Its very frustrating. Sometimes I have to question myself whether or not I actually sent something or not. Then the next day someone will reply and I can restore faith in my sanity. The only difference in my situation is that I do not use MailTags or Mail Act-On, whatever they are. So I think you can probably rule them out.

I don't use those add ons either. This is a big problem. A copy of the sent message seems to not make it to the Sent Items folder on the server. It doesn't happen all the time, but also doesn't seem to have anything to do with attachments, either.

Great News! List Mailing Issue Solved!!!!!!!
Hello Everyone, Thank you so much for your indulgence. As the subject line proudly States, I now know the setting to change in order for one to, yet again, see her/his own either original or replies to Message lists when using Apple Mail as the client for a gMail account. The following article now appears on the Candle Shore BLOG. Solution to Vanishing Sent Messages When Using Apple Mail As A Client With A gMail Account Hello Everyone, Search the web and you will discover that many people who use Apple's Mail program as an iMap client to a gMail account soon discover that they can not see their own replies sent to mailing lists such as those hosted on Google Groups. In fact, if they try to send a message to themselves, they will not see it in the Apple Mail Inbox. Maddening, to say the least The following steps, discovered by Yours Truly, will resolve this seemingly inexplicable conundrum. 1. On your Mac, open the Mail program. 2. >From the Mail Menu, select Preferences. 3. Select the Accounts Tab. NOTE: If you have more than one email account setup in Apple Mail, make sure the correct account is highlighted (selected) in the Accounts List. 4. Select the Mailbox Behavior Tab. 5. Finally remove the Checkmark next to the "Store Sent Messages On The Server" box. More simply stated, uncheck the "Store Sent Messages On The Server" Checkbox. 6. Save your changes. You can do this by simply closing the Preferences Window and then selecting the Save button at the resulting Dialog Box prompt. That's all there is to it. Now, you will once again, see any messages sent to any mailing lists, assuming the List Moderators allow such a feature, and you will see any test messages sent to yourself. Enjoy, Mark -- 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.

Re: YouTube videos
Hi my advice would be to try the html5 version of you tube http://www.youtube.com/html5/ Here you can opt into the HTML5 version and should only need do this once. Hope this helps. In my opinion the more we can show Adobe we do not need their Flash the better. For some reason, Adobe doesn't seem to want to acknowledge that a considerable chunk of the market are visually impaired. Sorry rant over, nothing to see here Paul.

Re: using speech commands on the Mac
The microphone built into the Mac pics up a lot of background room noise and can be a a bit echoey, you should see vast improvements if you use a external microphone. THe built in mic also pics up the internal fan and the sound of the hard drive spinning.

Re: problems saving using save as in text edit and pages
H, interesting. Can't say I've experienced this in either app. Maybe try a permissions repair? Don't know for sure , but maybe something is screwed up with permissions somehow? To do this do the following: 1. Go to the finder, 2. HIt command-shift-U to go to your utilities folder, which is a sub-folder of your applications folder 3. Find disc utility, and VO space on that, or command-O, either will open it 4. ONce in disc utility, one of the first things you'll come across is a table where you can select the drive you want. IN that table, select macintosh HD by interacting with VO-shift-down arrow, and VO up or down arrow, until you hear Macintosh Hd. 5. ONce you've selected MAcintosh HD, stop interacting with that table with VO-shift-up arrow. 6. VO-right arrow over to the first aid tab, and select it with VO-space. 7. On that tab, you'll find a repair permissions button, click that with VO-space. If you go further to the right, you'll then see progress as to how the permissions repair is coming along. When it is done, try saving a file in either text edit or pages again.

Dan, I am going to try this right now and my gosh, never apologize for too much info; I am not a veteran user, but do know about interacting with tables.

Wow, this is getting more and more weird! So I repaired permissions per Dan's wonderful instructions. I then opened a file in text edit called shopping list.doc. I added a line to the file and did command shift s and did all the steps I previously outlined, and still all I heard was save as default button pressed. So, I then did a command w to close the window; I got the message asking me if I wanted to save the file or my changes would be lost. I said save. I then got a dialogue box asking me if I wanted to save the file with a new name, and I selected that option. I then typed in the new name, tabbed to the save button and pressed vo space and it saved. This is really crazy! And, what a pain! I'd really like to fix this.

On that tab, you'll find a repair permissions button, click that with VO-space. If you go further to the right, you'll then see progress as to how the permissions repair is coming along. When it is done, try saving a file in either text edit or pages again. Even thoughyou probably already know about interacting and stopping interacting in tables Marlaina, I'm posting these detailed steps , as it seems we're getting people new to the mac, or who are thinking about getting a mac, on this list all the time.

Problems with VoiceOver and Bluetooth Jabra Halo
Hello, In 10.6.4 I was using my Halo on occasion to work with VoiceOver, and found that it worked better than in earlier versions. Last, week, I upgraded to 10.6.5, and had the first need to work with headphones this weekend. I had significant problems: 1. VoiceOver / Alex started stuttering, and turning on/off the Bluetooth connection every phrase. Then when I shutdown the bluetooth audio I discovered several functions of the keyboard had stopped working. Is anybody using bluetooth regularly for their audio output with 10.6.5? If so, did you need to adjust any non-standard parameters to make it work? I am planning on getting somebody with sight to look over the system profiler while I try using the headset again, but before getting my family grumpy at me,I wanted to illicit any ideas from this list.

Re: using speech commands on the Mac
Hi Donna and Others, Speech commands on the Mac work. The issue is that all the newer Intel Macbooks have been built to optimize smaller size and weight, reduced power consumption, etc. The result is that trying the speech commands without using a microphone and headset, and attempting to rely on the built-in microphone, is not going to work very well, as Colin mentioned. How often have you tried to record anything, or conduct a Skype session without a microphone on your present computer? "Speakable items" works pretty well on my 12" G4 PowerBook -- my first Mac, which dates from when I joined the Macvisionaries list, and which I can still use. It's noticeable that even on this, the smallest of the PowerBook laptop line, the speakers and sound quality are better than on my MacBook, and the internal mic performance is much better. (When I was first trying to learn about recording apps, I could just try out voice recording -- with no separate mic.) If you want to get a feeling for how speech commands on the Mac work, I'll point you to a couple of discussion threads from the old discussion list at the Mail Archive. In contrast to the responses on this thread, where the focus has been on how spoken commands are not recognized, the posted replies include statements like "Ask it to tell you a joke", or discuss using "Speakable Items" to command moves in the chess game program. • Tim Kilburn's post on getting the system to speak date and time on query http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg00883.html • Tim's post about where to find the list of speakable items scripts (read down this thread with Control-N in Safari to the later posts, which include David's comment about using speech commands to read the next page of a document in Preview, etc.) http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg00899.html There are some other threads about using this option to play chess. Note that the dates for these posts are around January 2006. And you're all spared the computer's bad "Knock, Knock" jokes, but for those of you who are curious about what this is like, here's the one I just heard from my PowerBook using "Speakable Items": E: Tell me a joke Mac: Knock, knock E: Who's there? Mac: Thistle E: Thistle who? Mac: Thistle be my last "Knock, knock" joke. HTH. Cheers, Esther -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Ipod Nano sixth generation
That should be impossible. By default iPods will pull all the data from exactly one computer. There is a way to customize this, but I don't recommend this. There is a way to move iTunes material over your network using "Home sharing" and that might be your best alternative.

Get a hardware firewall. You'll be better off and the value of securing the box by local software is questionable. Limit access with a good router / firewall combo and you'll be better off.

Re: Problems with VoiceOver and Bluetooth Jabra Halo
Hi Jon, I'm not using Bluetooth on my Mac, but a quick Google search showed that people are reporting issues with Bluetooth after the 10.6.5 update. This is ironic, since one of the features of the update was supposed to be improved Bluetooth stability and connectivity for Braille devices. You might want to check through the Apple Discussion forums for solutions. I read one thread titled "Bluetooth disabling after 10.6.5 upgrade" where a couple of users were finally able to get things working after completely powering down their iMacs, unplugging the power cords, pressing the on/off button (I assume this was to discharge the capacitor), and leaving everything off for half an hour before restarting. I'm not sure how those instructions would translate for other Mac devices. They unsuccessfully first tried repairing permissions, zapping the PRAM, re-downloading the combo update, and booting up from the DVD, among other things. that did not work for them. Although, the one time I had to apply a fix to a relative's MacBook USB port problem by resetting the PRAM, the AppleCare tech (on the phone), told me to unplug and turn everything off, then remove the battery and hold down the on/off button for at least 12 seconds before putting back the battery. In case this helps you I'll paste in the details on resetting the PRAM: 1. Power down the computer and remove the battery from the MacBook. (On my model you need to get a thick coin, like a U.S. nickel, to insert in the slot of the lock for the battery, and give it a quarter turn clockwise to rotate it into the unlock position so the side of the battery near the lock will pop up, and so that the battery can be removed.) 2. With the battery removed, hold down the power button for at least 12 seconds. 3. Replace the battery. (On my model, you insert the side near the left edge of the laptop so that it engages, and then swing the other end so that it slots into the lock position. Then you use the coin to turn the slotted lock a quarter turn counter-clockwise to lock again.) 4. Hold down the Command, Option, P, and R keys while you power on your laptop. I press down the Command, Option, and R keys with my left hand (little finger on the Option key, ring finger on the Command key, and either middle or index finger on the R key). I press the thumb of my right hand on the P key and push down on the power button with the middle finger of my right hand. 5. You need to keep the Command, Option, P, and R keys pressed for at least 3 start-up chimes before releasing them in order to reset the PRAM. 6. Log in as usual and check your USB port connections. (In your case, try checking the Bluetooth performance.) HTH. Try Googling about this and maybe you'll find more information about a solution. Cheers, Esther On Nov 29, 2010, at 06:32, Jonathan C.

Re: using speech commands on the Mac
Hi Donna, Well, I can use "Speakable Items" on my MacBook, but it doesn't work as well as it does on my PowerBook, where my statements are just recognized when I speak. I have to repeat some phrases multiple times for them to register. This would make it quite painful to play a chess game, for example, where after the first move command I had to repeat the next one three times. It helps to go through a calibration sequence under the Settings tab for System Preferences > Speech. There's a "Calibrate" button, and you read out test commands. But my MacBook still isn't as responsive as my PowerBook. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Nov 29, 2010, at 09:27, Donna Goodin wrote: Thanks, Esther.

Re: no night without stars
No, I can see the pictures and which one is selected, and VoiceOver is reading the wrong description. The first image is the one of water droplets on a grey background and is given as "photo of a calm lake with mountains in the distance and shooting stars in the sky". That's a good description of the second image, which is described as "photo of a desert oasis in the distance". The third image is the one of earth from space, which is also given a description that matches the second image - "photo of mountains in the distance during twilight with water in the foreground". Odd, especially as no-one else seems to be getting this!

Re: Problems with VoiceOver and Bluetooth Jabra Halo
That sounds like a lot of work. I am hoping that apple will just fix the problem. Heather - Original Message - From: "Esther" To: Sent: Monday, November 29, 2010 1:27 PM Subject: Re: Problems with VoiceOver and Bluetooth Jabra Halo Hi Jon, I'm not using Bluetooth on my Mac, but a quick Google search showed that people are reporting issues with Bluetooth after the 10.6.5 update. This is ironic, since one of the features of the update was supposed to be improved Bluetooth stability and connectivity for Braille devices. You might want to check through the Apple Discussion forums for solutions. I read one thread titled "Bluetooth disabling after 10.6.5 upgrade" where a couple of users were finally able to get things working after completely powering down their iMacs, unplugging the power cords, pressing the on/off button (I assume this was to discharge the capacitor), and leaving everything off for half an hour before restarting. I'm not sure how those instructions would translate for other Mac devices. They unsuccessfully first tried repairing permissions, zapping the PRAM, re-downloading the combo update, and booting up from the DVD, among other things. that did not work for them. Although, the one time I had to apply a fix to a relative's MacBook USB port problem by resetting the PRAM, the AppleCare tech (on the phone), told me to unplug and turn everything off, then remove the battery and hold down the on/off button for at least 12 seconds before putting back the battery. In case this helps you I'll paste in the details on resetting the PRAM: 1. Power down the computer and remove the battery from the MacBook. (On my model you need to get a thick coin, like a U.S. nickel, to insert in the slot of the lock for the battery, and give it a quarter turn clockwise to rotate it into the unlock position so the side of the battery near the lock will pop up, and so that the battery can be removed.) 2. With the battery removed, hold down the power button for at least 12 seconds. 3. Replace the battery. (On my model, you insert the side near the left edge of the laptop so that it engages, and then swing the other end so that it slots into the lock position. Then you use the coin to turn the slotted lock a quarter turn counter-clockwise to lock again.) 4. Hold down the Command, Option, P, and R keys while you power on your laptop. I press down the Command, Option, and R keys with my left hand (little finger on the Option key, ring finger on the Command key, and either middle or index finger on the R key). I press the thumb of my right hand on the P key and push down on the power button with the middle finger of my right hand. 5. You need to keep the Command, Option, P, and R keys pressed for at least 3 start-up chimes before releasing them in order to reset the PRAM. 6. Log in as usual and check your USB port connections. (In your case, try checking the Bluetooth performance.) HTH. Try Googling about this and maybe you'll find more information about a solution. Cheers, Esther On Nov 29, 2010, at 06:32, Jonathan C. Cohn wrote: Hello, In 10.6.4 I was using my Halo on occasion to work with VoiceOver, and found that it worked better than in earlier versions.

VoiceOver / Alex started stuttering, and turning on/off the Bluetooth connection every phrase. Then when I shutdown the bluetooth audio I discovered several functions of the keyboard had stopped working. Is anybody using bluetooth regularly for their audio output with 10.6.5? If so, did you need to adjust any non- standard parameters to make it work?

Re: Ipod Nano sixth generation
Hi, This isn't really to much of a problem from the Mac side of things. You can simply copy and paste content to your device without it being associated with the iTunes library your using. I'm not sure how good copy and paste works in iTunes for windows though. But if her device is associated with the iTunes library on her windows machine, all she would need to do is disable devices from syncing automatically with iTunes on her mac. That way she doesn't always have the stupid dialog box pop up when she connects the iPod to her Mac. lol. hth Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com Twitter, Skype, and AIM: rwalker296 Google Voice: 1-646-450-2197 On Nov 29, 2010, at 12:12 PM, Jonathan C.

Using VO to download applications
Greetings Listers Does anyone know of a podcast which will take me through the process of downloading applications such as OpenOffice, Adium, and others? I navigate and use Pages and Text Edit successfully, but I just want to try OpenOffice. I do well with FB chat but I've read so many of your comments on using third party chat clients that I at least want to try it out. I've never downloaded an application from the internet without sighted assistance so I wish to listen to a podcast which walks me through the steps so I know I am performing the correct steps. I assume the steps are pretty much the same no matter what application I am downloading, but if not, this would be good to know as well. Again, I wish to experiment and see how I enjoy these applications so if it turns out I much prefer Pages/Text Edit over OpenOffice, let's say, how would I then go about removing the application? Is it as simple as finding in the application folder, bring up the context menu, pressing move to trash or are there more steps than that? Thank you!

still clueless on speakable commands
Hi all, well, I've now tried everything. I've switched to using the Escape key to initiate recognition.

Still, I haven't gotten my MBP to recognize one single command. the weird thing is, when I try and calibrate it, I get the wit sound for all the commands, which I assume means that the commands are being recognized in calibration.

Re: where is the built-in mike on the MBP?

Re: still clueless on speakable commands
Hi Donna, I think we're quickly exhausting the possibilities . I assume you turned Speakable Items on by pressing VO-space on this radio button on the Speech Recognition tab of "Speech" under "System Preferences"? I know this sounds daft, but you can calibrate the Internal Microphone without turning the radio button on. Do you have a "Speech Feedback" window? (e.g., if you navigate to "Finder" in the dock, and then use window chooser menu with VO-F2 twice, do you have an entry for "Speech Feedback"?) I've now used "Speakable Items" more today than I have since I got this MacBook, and I'm not using a mic. On my MacBook (not MacBook Pro, purchased September 2008), the mic is above the Escape key. Now that Pete pointed this out, I can feel a very small hole in this location. The mic hole is above the F1 key and is much more noticeable/larger on my PowerBook. I've asked "What time is it?"; instructed my computer to "Get new mail", and various other things with success (without a headset). It may just be that I know this can be done (since it works very easily on the PowerBook), that makes the difference. (I did have to repeat some of my chess move commands multiple times for the MacBook, so knowing where the mic was meant that I could speak directly into it in the Escape key position). I'm out of other ideas. Maybe if Tim Kilburn reads this he'll have more suggestions. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Nov 29, 2010, Donna Goodin wrote: Hi all, well, I've now tried everything.

Still, I haven't gotten my MBP to recognize one single command. the weird thing is, when I try and calibrate it, I get the wit sound for all the commands, which I assume means that the commands are being recognized in calibration.

Re: where is the built-in mike on the MBP?
Ok try this. If anything it'll help you find your mic, and you can verify the internal mic is working. Open up Garageband, If you use ILife 10, then set it to new project, with voice as the instrument, then on the right turn monitor on, it'll start to feedback, and GB will detect this and offer feedback protection, cancel that, turn your speaker volume down, then bring it back up to just before you hear the feedback, and then scrape along the top left of the keyboard and you should hear all sorts of stuff. if that confirms the mic is working, then it's got to be some setting in the program you're trying to use the mic with (dragon?).

Re: Sharing files on Mac and Windows...
Hmm, although there are some things in NTFS and HFS that are not available to the other system, as long as your file names are essentially Alphanumeric and you are not depending on the Resource fork, you should be able to transfer files with cut and paste. I have not speciffically tried folders, and I have no access to Windows 7. I would suggest that you try to use sftp or scp instead of SMB, it is more secure and more UNIX like. 1. Turn on remote login in your sharing pane. 2. Get a scp client 3. Copy files to your hearts content. I highly recommend that if any of your data is personal in nature, that you try and keep it on your local network and not push it up to another server. Once the file has been transfered out of your control, you can not ensure how long copies of it might be on backup storage, and you are dependent on a trust relationship with the service provider and any privaledged users they have on their system.

Re: where is the built-in mike on the MBP?
Hi Frank, Pete, Donna, and Others,
Donna is trying to use "Speakable Items". This is a setting that can
be enabled under System Preferences > Speech under the Speech
Recognition tab. Since she was able to calibrate the Internal
Microphone and have it respond to her spoken commands (e.g., "What
time is it?", "Quit this application", and other test phrases), her
Mac is capable of recognizing the commands, if she has "Speakable
Items" enabled (by selecting the Radio buttons to turn this "On" on
the Speech Recognition tab). The "Calibrate" button also lets you
adjust the volume slider on your selected input source (e.g.,
"Internal Mic") before or after you speak the test phrases.
OK, one more suggestion. Are you pressing the "Escape" button, which
is the default "Listening Key", when you issue your commands? If you
have a "Speech Feedback" window when you navigate to "Finder" in the
Dock, and then bring up window chooser menu (VO-F2 twice), (e.g.,
result of setting the radio button for "Speakable Items" to "On" in
the Speech Recognition tab); and if you are using the default
Listening method (radio button set to "Listen only while key is
pressed"), with the default listening key ("Escape"), then holding
down the Escape key while you speak commands like "What time is it?"
into the internal mic should result in the system telling you the time.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Re: musicality
I've been playing with it a bit. The only thing that's supremely disappointing is (ironically) the keyboard settings area. The controls for setting the global keystrokes are reported as "unknown" by VO and I can't click on them or anything. Other than that, it's set up like a simplified web page and is a thousand times more accessible than the Last Fm scrobbler.

Re: using speech commands on the Mac
Mark, Were these wired Microphones? Unlike PC's Macintoshs have line-in and not mic-in jacks. What this means is that most microphones need a pre-amp if they are to be used with the Macintosh.

Re: Wireless Netowrk and VO Issue
Perhaps you need to push your LAN up in the list of accepted networks? THere is also an option to not join networks without asking, which might help you. When I turn this option on, any network that I have not "remembered" will not get joined, if there are no available networks, then a dialog box appears asking me if I want to select a new Wireless network.

Re: SUCCESS!!! (waswhere is the built-in mike on the MBP?
Hi guys,
I'm running out the door, but I've made nice progress. Still can't activate
recognition via a spoken word, but am successful using the Esc key. I have to
run, but let's just say that Esther's question wasn't so daft. I know that
radio btn was on last night, but somehow, in my subsequent playing around, I
must have switched it to off. Amazing what a difference it makes. LOL
Will keep everyone posted as I continue to experiment, and Esther, thanks for
taking the time to mess around with this.
Best,

iTunes behaving weird...
Hi folks. Hope not all of you are english speaking, so maybe some have seen this same thing that I've seen in iTunes... First I had my OS X in english, and everything was great. I added music from here and there. Then a day ago, I sat it to norwegian, and some of the genres in the genres list became norwegian - for example "Classical" became "Klassisk", but just for one song of a whole album. Also in the "Metal"-genre, some of the music became "Metall". So my 3-parted question is, how and why is this happening? Why does not everything change, and if I wish to have it that way, how do I do that?

Mine is the same way. I'm looking for the "me" label on the google site, which shows my messages only on the website as sent from "me". I can't seem to find that label, though those messages get sent to the site inbox with this from field. Those particular messages also never end up on my mail client on the computer.

Re: Skype and Adium Questions
the source list is your friend. If you start at the top, on "everyone," and arrow down, the source list entries will occur in reverse order of their events. What I mean is, from Everyone, one down-arrow will bring you to the person who last messaged or called you, then the one before that, then etc. So, if you start at Everyone, and I called you a while ago and left a voice mail, one swipe of the down arrow would say, "Mark BurningHawk; one missed event." The down side to this is that it only appears to say "one missed event," the *FIRST* time you land on it; after that, all you have to go by is the order in which the sources appear in the list. Confusing, sorry, but I hope that helps. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Recording for the blind and dyslexic, reader that runs on the Mac?
Hello everybody, apparently recording for the blind and dyslexic today announced that they have a book reader that will run on the Mac? Has anyone heard about this, is there any discussion about how usable it might be with voiceover? If this is true, this would be good. If it is aimed at the blindness community?

Re: problems saving using save as in text edit and pages
Hi Marlaina, I've seen this sort of thing happen when there is something selected in the File Table of the Save dialog. If it is a file, then it will not save and if it is a folder, it simply opens the folder instead of saving. If you hit the Save button a second time once the folder has opened, it will save but you may not know exactly where it went. I'm guessing that this is your issue. Try this: • Press cmd-shift-s for Save As. • Just begin typing the filename instead as VO will usually be focused there anyway. • Press VO-End (that's FN-VO-End on a laptop) which will automatically take you to the Save button. • If you need to get back to change it to a Word document, then VO-left to get there. • You can then simply press return to save it. It will usually save in the same location as your original file but if you need to change that then do the following to ensure that nothing is selected when you press the Save button. • Interact With the File table. • Press VO-cmd-space on any file/folder in the table. • If it says selected then do the above step again otherwise Stop Interacting With the Table and make your way to the Save button and press it. This should do it for you. Later... On 2010-11-28, at 8:46 PM, Marlaina Lieberg wrote: > Ok, this is a weird one!

Tim, I'll try all this and report back. It is so odd because it happens in pages and text edit and only as of about 4 days ago.

Re: safari not always alerting when page is loaded
Hi John: No, mostly during page reloads and exploring sights where I move around a lot, such as cyber Monday sails on Amazon. They were kind of a web nightmare with Safari and the constant need to change pages to get through the 108 pages of "specials". (Ok, not that crazy, think I made page 8 before I gave up.:) And the Apple website offered all it's really expensive designer accessories for the iPad at a whopping 10 per cent off. Oh wouldn't it be fun to encase an iPad in a $400 Italian leather case!!! Ok, I've gone off topic big. But, the surfing was definitely a challenge. I'm really making fast friends with the item chooser, finally.:) Take care all. Carolyn On Nov 29, 2010, at 12:56 PM, Jonathan Cohn wrote: > Are you noticing this on items like "more" buttons?
