Re: Insecure startup item disabled.
Is this an application you need? It sounds almost like an SNMP manager. Apple has been locking down programs that could allow malware to get into the system. Startup items are a good place for this to happen. I suggest trying to run the Repair permissions in the Disk Utility. Let me know if you need some more help.

RE: Apple "screwing" iPhone users to block them from opening the hardware they paid for.
Hello Everyone, I have read the previous messages on this topic, I would like to respectfully object. I would like to begin by saying that I feel the topic is certainly news worthy. Furthermore I am quite disturbed at how readily folks on this list are willing to just bow to the "omnipotent Corporation looking out for our well being." I feel that Apple is only protecting its bottom line and that is where it begins and ends. Fifty years ago the Sears catalog included schematics so that one could self troubleshoot issues whit products that were sold in their catalog. Today we have covers to cover covers, layering the electronics and mechanical parts of our cars and hundreds of other devices that we use every day. As an American I love our traditional spirit of adventure and personal independence to take a product designed or meant for one purpose and transform it into something completely beyond what it was designed for. In pushing this envelope we have been a market leader and produced some of the sharpest minds in our century. I know for a fact that a few funky shaped screws are not going to stop the people that I am describing. I am objecting with the status quo, and the consensus of the people on this list. Before I went blind I was a Heavy equipment Mechanic. Whenever I would hear about situations like the one outlined I would be frustrated. We have an amazing amount of competent electronic specialists who would not bat an eye at removing the back of their iPhone to do a minor repair. I am a ham radio operator and that spirit is certainly alive and flourishing. The amount of money that folks with these skills are saving by doing their own repairs, are nothing short of amazing. When I owned a computer store and we would frequently have computers come in where their capacitors had dried out and exploded. This action is so dramatic, that when my friend and business partner who happened to be one of these skilled electronic technicians that you are saying have no business tinkering around in a iphone, would replace the capacitors. Our customers would think that he had performed nothing short of a miracle. Along those same lines I had dropped my BN PK and the cards had become dislodged. He simply reseated them and I went on my way. The company had just charged me 250.00 for new batteries. He researched it in four minutes and could have replaced them for me for 18.00. How much do you think that Humanware would have charged for reseating my cards, not to mention the time. Please do not tell me that this is not news worthy, because it certainly is.

Ok. You would fall into that very small minority group in which such information is news worthy. You said yourself, some funky screws won't stop the adventurous type. I think what Apple did was a waste of time and money. And at the end of the day, it comes off a little petty. But the fact still remains.

I think the sears catalog is a bit of a flawed argument. They provided the schematics because things broke down a hell of a lot more 50 years ago than they do now. Consumers have grown to expect a higher level of reliability from their devices.

These products were also a lot more tolerant to the novice hand. Not so much in the digital age.

Re: garage band and vocal regulation
Their is no easy way that I know of but, I think their is a solution. On the parts where you are drowned out by the music or your vocals are to loud, you can split those regions, copy the region of the vocal track you want to change, then paste it on a new real instrument track. For example. I would personally work with the chorus part of the vocals because its the easiest to fix. So if it is a typical 8 bar hook that starts at lets say bar 25, split the vocal track at the beginning of bar 25 and then again at the beginning of bar 33. So now you should have 3 regions. Bar 1-25,25-33, and 33to the end of the track. You would make a new real instrument track now. I would recommend just duplicating the original vocal track so you don't have to set your effects all over again. Now cut the region with the chorus and paste it on your duplicated track at the beginning of bar 25. Now all you have to do is lower the volume on your duplicated vocal track. Repeat the steps for the chorus throughout the song. So now you will have that 1 duplicated track just dedicated the the vocals for the chorus. hth Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com Twitter, Skype, and AIM: rwalker296 Google Voice: 1-646-450-2197 On Jan 21, 2011, at 10:11 AM, f10r14n wrote: > Hi, > > What is the best way to regulate the volume on specific parts of a > vocal track?

Hi Geoff: Just to add to John's comment: I've been told it's always a good idea to reaper permissions after reinstalling anything.

RE: Apple "screwing" iPhone users to block them from opening the hardware they paid for.
Hello Ricardo, I would like to respectfully disagree with your assertion that things "broke down more frequently, back then." Today we have engineered obsolescence, and things are designed to breakdown. I can provide a laundry list to this fact, however one fact still remains, I have a fifty year old refrigerator that is rock solid and my brother-in-law is still running an old 60 year old Oliver tractor for hulling wood. Things back then were accessible for repair though, and the sense of mysticism was not intentionally bestowed on things.

So if it is a typical 8 bar hook that starts at lets say bar 25, split the vocal track at the beginning of bar 25 and then again at the beginning of bar 33. So now you should have 3 regions. Bar 1-25,25-33, and 33to the end of the track. You would make a new real instrument track now. I would recommend just duplicating the original vocal track so you don't have to set your effects all over again. Now cut the region with the chorus and paste it on your duplicated track at the beginning of bar 25. Now all you have to do is lower the volume on your duplicated vocal track. Repeat the steps for the chorus throughout the song. So now you will have that 1 duplicated track just dedicated the the vocals for the chorus. hth Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com Twitter, Skype, and AIM: rwalker296 Google Voice: 1-646-450-2197 On Jan 21, 2011, at 10:11 AM, f10r14n wrote: Hi, What is the best way to regulate the volume on specific parts of a vocal track?

Re: Apple "screwing" iPhone users to block them from opening the hardware they paid for.
I guess we will just agree to disagree here. :). I don't think its mysticism. I think people just don't care. Because of the obsolescence you pointed out that is built into devices. Why spend time fixing something that will be outdated anyway? That pretty much sums up the computer age. I think time also plays into this equation. 50 years ago, people had much more time to tinker. Or at least, they're were less options of things to do. People work longer hours now than 50 years ago, and hence some can't or won't sacrifice the time to learn how to take something as complex as a smart phone apart, and fix it.

Re: Apple "screwing" iPhone users to block them from opening the hardware they paid for.
I have to go with Ricardo on this one. Smart phones are far far more complex than your old 60 year old icebox. It's just the way it is. While I agree with you that there is planned failures and products are engineered to break the fact people don't tinker has nothing to do with any mnystery but has more to do with the fact there's not much inside that's user servicable. Most things on the IPhone are integrated in single dyes so that leave only the software to play with.

Re: Insecure startup item disabled.
Thanks John and Carolyn, Repairing permissions had no affect. I'm not sure where this item came from; I gather others do not have HP Trap monitor placed in their library/startup items folder? If so, perhaps the installation of my HP all in one driver was the culpret, and I can just delete it and reinstall the driver if doing so adversely affects printing? Best regards.

Re: Apple "screwing" iPhone users to block them from opening the hardware they paid for.
Your crazy if you think the old sears catalog has anything to do with modern smart phone devices. How many possible users who wanted to service their own device woud even know what a gate is let alone the different types or would even be able to source a replacement part. An IPhone isn't a 1957 Chevy, it's a complex device with only a few discrete parts none of which can be serviced. Hacking the software is a totally different matter but in terms of hardware not so much.

Re: Apple "screwing" iPhone users to block them from opening the hardware they paid for.
Scott, You miss the point or at least the point I was making. The average (excludes electronics technicians) have little need to be mucking about inside the phone, iPod, etc. You are correct that Apple is protecting its bottom line and rightfully so. If people started messing around with their phones and tried installing their own batteries etc. and break the phone, guess who gets blamed and is expected to fix it. Well if you guessed Apple, then you would be correct. There are those who can disassemble such devices and reassemble it without damaging the device, but this is a small subset of people. I also again wonder to what extent one can modify the hardware without running into any legal issues. I have not explored this, but most software licenses for example do not allow for you to reverse engineer the software and this may be true with some hardware and this could be another reason. Either way, I hope that clarifies why I believe Apple does not want people opening their devices. You may disagree, but I bet statistics would reveal that more people toss their electronic devices when they quit working then actually take them in for repair.

MP3 Tag Editors
Hey. I was using MP3 Tag on the PC side which allowed me to convert the name of the file to the actual tag names. It also looked on Amazon and a bunch of other databases. Is there something like this for Mac? I have some MP3's and albums that aren't tagged correctly. And because I use iTunes, I need everything in order. Course, I could edit it by hand, but I WILL N.O.T, do that! Lol. WHen you have 4+ tracks in your library, it's kinda hard. I'd prefer it be free.

Fades in Amadeus Pro
Hi All, I have an issue with Amadeus Pro: Sometimes when I fade in or out a tone, Amadeus fades only one channel. It happens for example that the left channel is faded in but the right channel is not. I don't understand what's wrong here. But when I convert the tone to mono the fade in or out will be done correctly. Could anyone help me to find out why the fades are not correct? Or is it a bug in Amadeus? I can hardly beleive that. Thanks and all the best Jürgen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Apple "screwing" iPhone users to block them from opening the hardware they paid for.
Scott. Whilst I do agree with you, I feel that in this situation, Apple did make the right choice by making there iPhones harder to take apart. You talk about computer repair. When you ran the shop, did you ever get someone who tried to upgrade or fix the computer themselves? Did you ever find that it ended up quite a bit worse because of the attempted fix? Now, picture a really small device, with lots of surface mounted components inside it - those components that are removable will be connected via ribbon cables. I don't know if you've ever encountered a ribbon cable, but you can't mess about with these things if you want them to work after. Lets be honest. If someone has the required knolige to fix an iPhone, it would be a trivial matter for them to research the correct tools needed to open the device. Whilst I do agree that the way that companies protect there devices is getting slightly over the top, what sort of crazy mods do you think people would be able to come up with for the iPhone? Do you think that people would be able to uncover a secret dipswitch and suddenly be able to overclock there cpu's by 200%? I do intend to open my 3gs soon to replace the glass and the battery, but I know that if I break it, it's my fault. Do you remember those old dell optiplex machines from 10 12 years ago where the cases were a nightmare to remove? That wasn't to stop the hardcore geek from upgrading there hardware, it was to stop the kind of person who would break there computer by attempting an upgrade from upgrading it and lets be honest, there are quite a few of those people. As a side note (and I'm more than happy to take this off list if you want), as a total, did you ever find a way to replace capacitors on motherboards in the repair shop? I've been investigating component level repairs on both desktop and laptop boards and would be interested in speaking with people who can replace dc jacks, usb ports, capacitors and people who are able to reflow the nvidia gpu's that suffered from cracked solder due to overheating.

Re: Apple "screwing" iPhone users to block them from opening the hardware they paid for.
I think this is part of a natural phase that various technologies go through. For stereos, you had Heath kits. For computers, you had interchangeable card. In this process, there's a shift toward "integration" in the hardware, which makes it difficult to tinker with. Even auto companies went through this process, till folks came up with the proper screw-drivers to work on them. Perkins Braillers have dedicated parts, but that doesn't keep people from tinkering with them. I think that for the people who can't resist tinkering, that spirit will prevail, especially given the challenge presented by non-standard technologies. Either that, or more savvy tekkies will simply buy devices that are easier to modify.

Accessing full status bar with voiceover?
Hi all, How does one access the full status bar with voiceover, as I thought the icons for things such as drop box and such were not accessible. I realize that someone posted a work around for the v o m m thing, but I just subscribed to the list yesterday so would appreciate the info. Thanks and take care.

RE: Apple "screwing" iPhone users to block them from opening the hardware they paid for.
Hi Ben, I never really got into figuring out how to do depot level repairs on the equipment. I naturally replaced cards and built systems, because that was part of the operation of a small shop. I mainly ran the routers, switches and THS system. I do know a guy who if you could get him to chisel out a bit of his time would love to speak with you about how to figure out work-around for doing them if possible. He is the guy that I mentioned in my previous post. Later, Scott -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ben Mustill-Rose Sent: Friday, January 21, 2011 5:27 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Apple "screwing" iPhone users to block them from opening the hardware they paid for. Scott. Whilst I do agree with you, I feel that in this situation, Apple did make the right choice by making there iPhones harder to take apart. You talk about computer repair. When you ran the shop, did you ever get someone who tried to upgrade or fix the computer themselves? Did you ever find that it ended up quite a bit worse because of the attempted fix? Now, picture a really small device, with lots of surface mounted components inside it - those components that are removable will be connected via ribbon cables. I don't know if you've ever encountered a ribbon cable, but you can't mess about with these things if you want them to work after. Lets be honest. If someone has the required knolige to fix an iPhone, it would be a trivial matter for them to research the correct tools needed to open the device. Whilst I do agree that the way that companies protect there devices is getting slightly over the top, what sort of crazy mods do you think people would be able to come up with for the iPhone? Do you think that people would be able to uncover a secret dipswitch and suddenly be able to overclock there cpu's by 200%? I do intend to open my 3gs soon to replace the glass and the battery, but I know that if I break it, it's my fault. Do you remember those old dell optiplex machines from 10 12 years ago where the cases were a nightmare to remove? That wasn't to stop the hardcore geek from upgrading there hardware, it was to stop the kind of person who would break there computer by attempting an upgrade from upgrading it and lets be honest, there are quite a few of those people. As a side note (and I'm more than happy to take this off list if you want), as a total, did you ever find a way to replace capacitors on motherboards in the repair shop? I've been investigating component level repairs on both desktop and laptop boards and would be interested in speaking with people who can replace dc jacks, usb ports, capacitors and people who are able to reflow the nvidia gpu's that suffered from cracked solder due to overheating.

RE: Apple "screwing" iPhone users to block them from opening the hardware they paid for.
Hello Ricardo and everyone else who has posted to this thread, I would have to agree that everyone has a bit of truth in what is being posted. We certainly can make many more mods to the equipment than we are led to believe. That is fine though, because you all are correct many folks just do not care, however there more people than you might think who want to be able to make them. Maybe the android folks are those people, I do not know. I will also agree that it is very nice to pick the device up and just have it work as advertised. I have gone through so much technology that never lives up to what is advertised. I really like my iphone and would never dream of cracking it open. In any case this is about as far as I can carry this conversation. Have a wonderful night..

I guess we will just agree to disagree here. :). I don't think its mysticism. I think people just don't care. Because of the obsolescence you pointed out that is built into devices. Why spend time fixing something that will be outdated anyway? That pretty much sums up the computer age. I think time also plays into this equation. 50 years ago, people had much more time to tinker. Or at least, they're were less options of things to do. People work longer hours now than 50 years ago, and hence some can't or won't sacrifice the time to learn how to take something as complex as a smart phone apart, and fix it.

Re: Apple "screwing" iPhone users to block them from opening the hardware they paid for.
I purposely left that out because Apple Care is a given. ALthough I have to admit that all things considered, Apple Care is pretty cheap in general. A great example is when the USB port on my first iMac crapped out. I would have found and still find taking an iMac apart to be a painful process. However, Apple Care covered the cost of labor and parts at a non-Apple store, which meant it was repaired by an authorized dealer. In this case I came out way ahead if I had to pay for that repair. Although I sure would like to still get one of the iMacs apart. Figured out how to pull the front cover, but no clue how to get behind the screen to the hard drive etc. Must be some trick I have not discovered.

Re: MP3 Tag Editors
You might want to check out a program called Tagalicious by the LIttle App Factory, http://www.thelittleappfactory.com, which costs $19, but from what I understand, will do what you want and probably a great deal more.

looking for cueing solution
Hi there. I am still, (after a week) in search of any accessible software solution which can be used on the Mac side to cue songs in advance in to a play list which is made on an on the fly basis. Of course, there's the DJ list in ITunes, but, when I set ITunes to cross fade and normalize audio, I get unacceptable delays in behavior and responsiveness from Itunes. Mixx proved totally useless so far as I could tell. DJ for Mac was almost perfect, but, it relies on the Itunes Library and I actually had to run a Time Machine Backup in order to restore things back to the way they were before. Ladiocast has no cueing options of this type so far as I can see. As for Megaseg, I have yet to try it. I'm told it is rather costly though. What I'd really love to be able to do is to cue songs up in to a play list so that when you navigate to a song, you can open up the short cut menu and there will be an item like Cue in Winamp has so that you can have a song cued up and not play immediately but will just stack up in the cue. I'd love to be able just to do this directly from finder so that I don't have to rely on the ITunes Library, (which, incidentally, I may have to rebuild in any case.). I guess that what it comes down to is this. A finder plug in would be nice; but, after a week, I'm not finding any such thing. Any thoughts? Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

Apple was incorrect about the Audible syncing
I seem to recall that this morning, someone posted a reply from Apple about the Audibleactivate.sys key file. Apple's reply seemed to imply, as best I could understand it, that if one connected the Stream to their Mac, ITunes would see it and Sync up with it; and, thus, authorize playback of Audible.com books. It aint so. I just connected my Stream directly to my Apple Mac book pro, and, just as I suspected, ITunes did not see it or try to sync with it. It does show up as an extra volume just as if I had inserted the card from it in to the reader itself; but, no more. Clearly, the Onus is on Humanware to help us with a solution; or so I believe.

Re: MP3 Tag Editors

Re: Update on SEE Finance
Thanks for this Les. I tried See Finance a year or so ago, but couldn't quite figure it out. Following your recommendation, I gave it another try. I found it to be quite accessible and much easier to understand, compared to my prior trial. The application's tools and ease of use make it well worth the $29.99 price. Thanks again. Brett C.

Re: How to add apps to the doc
When the app is open, go to the doc, find the app CTRL+click if you have a mouse (this is what I do), or, VO+SHFT+M, and go to options, then hit enter on "keep in doc." Also, you can go to the app in your apps folder, and when the app is highlighted, do a SHFT+CMD+T. That will add it to the doc, without it being open.

moveAddict kills tracking.
Greetings all, I'm sure I'm overlooking something because up till now moveAddict's only function (on my machine anyway) is to render it impossible to traverse files and folders in finder. I've been through all options in the prefferences app and have not yet found anything applicable. None of the keyboard shortcuts are identified or obviously configurable, and I did not bother with the buttons. I'm assuming they follow the basic Winblows convention anyway. So I Start moveAddict .app and select three files via command-a I then press command-x to cut them. Next I press command-n followed by command-c. When ever I down arrow to locate my sd card Alex says "moveAddict - one item cut." Strange, considering that three items should have been. I can open the sd card (right arrow in list view) but then can not arrow down to select a folder -- the moveAddict message is spoken every time I press down arrow and focus remains on the first folder. The only way I can navigate anything in finder again is to restart my MBP since I can't find or force quit moveAddict. Since others are apparently using this successfully, I'm sure there's a step I'm missing. TIA for any suggestions.

Re: moveAddict kills tracking.
Hi Geoff, Maybe this is do to your voiceover cursor configuration? I haven't had any of these problems. Or any problems with the app for that matter. I have cursor tracking on, and my mouse cursor is set to follow my voiceover cursor. I am also using column view in the finder.

Re: Victor Stream software for Mac?
Hi! You can do everything with the Victor Reader Stream by hand, the only thing you can't do is convert from the Victor Reader Streams audio format, that's what the software does and that's only for Windows. Now I believe that Humanware have an upgrade package for the Stream available, this package allows for the recording of audio in other formats such as Wave so perhaps you may wish to get this? That way you needen't worry about the software issue at all. All you need do for the material you want to read is plug the Stream into the Mac, mac will then recognise the Stream as an external drive. Copy your material to the Stream and remember that your material should go into the folders on the Streams Memory card, the Stream treats each folder differently so read the manual for more details, its built-in to the stream and can be accessed through the bookshelf.
