Re: scanning and the mac
I have boot camp installed on my 13 inch Macbook Pro, no sound issues here. However I am running XP and not Windows 7 though. So not sure if that makes a difference.

airport extreme in a mixed mac pc environment?
Hi all, We have an old linksys router that has served us wonderfully for several years. But it is time to move on and upgrade to something that will give us higher speed wireless, now that none of our wireless devices require the older 208-11G protocol. Between us, we have an IPod, IPad and an Android phone that will connect wirelessly as well as a pc laptop. And we have pc and mac desktops that will connect via wire, except perhaps for my Mac if there aren't enough cable connections on the airport extreme. I'd like to get the Airport Extreme, but my sighted husband is worried about connectivity with his pcs. I was so impressed with the ease of set up with the airport express and the Mac and am quite wary of the newer pc-oriented routers that all seem to want you to install proprietary software, unlike our old linksys. So, does anybody have experience in setting up an airport extreme in this environment? What can one do about the limited number of cable connections for wired computer set up off the router? If this isn't sufficiently vo-related, reply off list would be find, but I hope it fits within the criteria for the list, since one of my reasons for wanting to go this route is to ensure accessibility of set up and compatibility with my Mac and other I-devices.

Re: airport extreme in a mixed mac pc environment?
Mary, First you should have no problems setting up Macs, PCs, iOS devices, or Android devices to operate happily on a network using an Apple Extreme. You get three wired ports on the Extreme and if that is not enough, you can always get a switch, which would allow you to expand the number of ports. I have had all matter of devices on my wireless network and I have been using Apple routers for a number of years now.

Hi all,Problem with Audio Hijack
Hi all, I was reading the thread about problems with the new Audio Hijack. I had this problem too. My mic was set to soundflower, and didn't record. I installed instant hijack and this didn't fix the problem for me. I had to go over to the input tab on the default system input setting and from the menu select internal mic. This seemed to rectify the problem as I recorded a podcast on online grocery shopping afterwards. I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day.

Re: OCR for Mac
Hello Joanne, I use the combination of VueScan and ABBYY FineReader for scanning and OCR on the Mac. I get excellent results from this arrangement. VueScan costs around $79 US and ABBYY FineReader around $90 US. The setup process is a bit fiddly, but once it's done, everything works smoothly. I configure VueScan to produce TIFF files as I don't use this format for anything else, and I set all TIFF files to open with ABBYY FineReader by default. I can't compare this to anything on Windows as I've never used Windows.

Re: Anti Virus Software
I previously used ClamXAV but switched to the free Sophos product when it was released a few months ago. Both are strictly anti-virus, no firewall or other security bits are included, which is how I personally like it. Both are accessible with VO, though Sophos seems to be using some non-standard control panel that requires some getting used to. Neither product has ever given me any problems that I am aware of. Of course malware in general is less of a problem on OSX, and while ClamX was kind enough to point out a potential "phishing" email found in one of my mailboxes during a full scan, nothing else nasty has ever been reported. Disclaimer: I previously worked in IT security and, while I don't consider myself to be inherently paranoid, I've seen enough crap to be convinced that some form of malware protection should be used on a Mac. When I hear the inevitable quips about how OSX is inherently secure, or how it's a waste to run malware protection software on a Mac, or other such short-sighted comments, I just sigh and press the delete button. No links pasted because both products will show at the top of a properly worded google search.

youtube
Hey everyone, ok, this one really has me stumped, wondering if anyone can perhaps think of something I forgot. On one of my mac minis, youtube videos just will not play, the plug ins are enabled, and I have the newest flash player, 10.2. Also, if I boot my mac mini from my external hard drive using a backup I did last week, the videos also don't work, and the problem started after I did this backup. So, using carbon copy cloner, I did a current backup on the mini having the problem, then I took my external hard drive to my other mac mini, ad booted it from the external drive. The videos played just fine, therefore I know it's not operating system related. Because of that, I didn't think repairing permissions would make a difference, but I did it anyway using the snow leppard DVD. Thinking it might be a port on the router, I tried connecting through wireless, no difference. Also disconnected and reconnected the monitor and even unplugged the power cord. Flash on other web sites play just fine. I suppose I could try connecting the cable modem directly to this mac and make sure it's not a quirk with the router. Anyone got any other ideas? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com.

Re: Anti Virus Software
I used Protect Mac Anti virus at http://www.protectmac.com which isn't a bad piece of software. I switched to Eset ciber Security for Mac as I already had Eset Smart Security for Windows and it wasn't going to cost me anything extra to get the Mac version as I had a licence for more than 1 computer to run Eset products on. Both Eset Cyber Security and Protect Mac Anti virus are extremely accessible though I think Cyber Security has the edge when it comes to scanning, detecting and cleaning, had a few false alarms with Protect Mac, find eset products along with trials at http://www.nod32.com On 20/02/2011, at 2:30 AM, Ian Robinson wrote: > Hi All, > > I got my Mac about 10 days ago and have been running Virus Barrier in > evaluation mode.

Re: airport extreme in a mixed mac pc environment?
Mary, few points here. First, you should have 0 interoperability issues. Scott's response earlier was right on the money. That being said, you might want to look at other brands. People are doing cool things with routers and switches out there and depending on your home connection and the speed of your service you want a router that will keep up. You will notice a huge bump in performance simply by upgrading rom that linksys to something else since linksys had poor forwarding engines. Check out the DLink products as well and remember that even though software is included with these routers you do not have to use it. They are all configurable through the web. Definitely feel secure in going with Apple though. On Feb 19, 2011, at 4:47 AM, Mary Otten wrote: > Hi all, > > We have an old linksys router that has served us wonderfully for several > years.

Re: Anti Virus Software
ESET has a good product for the Mac now. It's a variation on the NOD32 product. This has always been the antivirus package I've used on the PC. Honesty though, I think it's a waste of money on the Mac, at least for now.

Re: Anti Virus Software
I see where you're coming from regarding the waste of money bit but you can take that in 2 ways, as I said in my original message if you've purchased a licence for multi machines then you've wasted no extra money at all as it doesn't cost you any extra money to buy the Mac product. What I like about Eset Cyber Security is that its completely quiet meaning it runs in the background and only rears its head if it needs to alert you of something, Protect Mac was a bit of a pain, whilst it worked it always reared its head if you logged onto another drive, downloaded a file or whatever. I don't think Protect Mac had the ability to scan for malicious code in the background either as the Eset products do.

Re: Problem with the latest version of Audio Hijack Pro
Hi! Sorry, Ricardo, I have not a suggestion to your problem. However I found another issue with the app: I want to record the system output to a single file and my mic to another file so I can put them together in an external editor which supports multitracking. My problem is that I can not find any way to record multiple sessions at the same time. In other words: I can record both files but the length of them are different because they can't start recording with one press of the record button. DOes anyone have a suggestion to fix this? i Know I could record it all into one file, but I want to have total control over both recordings.

Re: Anti Virus Software
Anti Virus is not a "Must Have" if you're using a Mac, though I'd consider Anti spyware of particular importance. If you're using your Mac on a network with Windows PC's then Yep, I'd personally recommend a good anti virus package, its probable your Mac won't be infected but that doesn't mean your Mac can't pass on viruses, act as a carrier in other words and that's where an Anti Virus package is handy as it can stop viruses spreading in their tracks by cleaning infected files, detecting malicious code etc. On 20/02/2011, at 6:23 AM, dyer matthew wrote: > Hi, > > I myself do not use any anti virius software on the mac side what so ever. > I just use the machimne as is with no problems what so ever.

Re: Problem with the latest version of Audio Hijack Pro
Hi Thomas. I can think of a couple of things you might try. I've not tried these myself, so don't know if the files would be in sync or not, but it's worth looking in to. First, you could try setting the scheduler to start recording both sessions at the same time. Or you could write a simple script to start both sessions recording.

Re: Problem with the latest version of Audio Hijack Pro
Hi Darcy! Ok, I guess the script suggestion is what would work out for me, sadly I don't know anything about Apple script and how to create this kind of things. Have you any experience in making these scripts? If you do, I would be glad if I may contact you off-list. Thanks for your answer.

Re: Anti Virus Software
Yep you can get away with not running Anti Virus software on the Mac but on a PC with Windows? Well you can't say you haven't been warned so don't cry when the damage is done and now we're talking about more than formatting drives, we're talking about the steeling of information and so on but this isn't the time nor the place and as I said, you've been warned.

Re: Problem with the latest version of Audio Hijack Pro
Hi Thomas. This script will do what you want, assuming you have your microphone set as the default system input. tell application "Audio Hijack Pro" set session1 to the first session whose name contains "System Audio" set session2 to the first session whose name contains "Default" tell session1 to start hijacking tell session2 to start hijacking tell session1 to start recording tell session2 to start recording end tell What you want to do is open up script editor and paste in the above script. You could run it by pressing command r. What I would suggest you do is to save it, and then set up one of VoiceOver's keyboard commander shortcuts to it. Then you can start recording from anywhere.

RE: scanning using only a mac
Hi Anne, Thanks, I did in fact see your message just after I posted mine. What kind of scanning can you do? I'm used to scanning both small batches of things, such as the mail, and large batches of things, such as books. Although I don't scan as many books as I used to, I would definitely like to be able to do so with my MAC. And do you read the scans with Voice Over? I assume you must. Thanks for any clarifications you can provide.

Re: scanning using only a mac
Hello Brian, I scan both single sheets and whole books. I use a Cannon Lide 700F portable USB scanner with my 2007 white MacBook. In VueScan, you can set it to single or multi-page scanning. You can also set it to auto-repeat so that you don't have to keep pressing Cmd-N on the computer. After pressing Cmd-G to tell VueScan that the last page has been scanned, ABBYY FineReader is launched automatically. I've set a shortcut key for creating a text file, so all I have to enter is the filename. I generally scan a double-page at a time and have scanned over a hundred such double-page spreads into one file and had FineReader recognise them. VueScan comes in two flavours now: 32-bit and 64-bit. It all depends on your scanner which one you need. My Cannon Lide 700F works with the 64-bit version, whereas my much older CAnnon Pixma MP170 only works with the 32-bit version. In System Preferences, I've set my Cannon Lide 700F to open VueScan when I press the Scan button. However, I cant get VueScan to recognise the buttons on my scanner, despite the fact that there are popup buttons to configure the scanner buttons. I need to look into this further.

I see my built in internal microphone under system preferences -> sound -> input but can only adjust the input volume and whether I want: to check the box labeled: "Use ambient noise reduction". I then hijacked and recorded system audio, but only system sounds were recorded. According to a recent post by Allison Manzino, this worked on her machine? I could not locate a "sound flower" setting anywhere. I also perused all the preferences and options within AudioHijack, but couldn't locate anything that seemed obviously applicable. TIA for any/all suggestions. Geoff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Hello Steve: Be sure to start with control-option-command-f8 to invoke the voiceover getting started tutorial. Also, go to Apple.com/support and search out "switching 101" which really gives a good picture of how the windows and mac systems compare. Wish I'd known about it when I started. Also, there's a good bit of info right there at your fingertips inside your Mac. Search for "user guides," and "getting started."

Re: OCR for Mac
Hi Joanne: People seem to be having good success with a software called Vuescan, and Abbyy Fine Reader Express. If you google these, there sites should come up easily. The Vuescan is good because it works with a wider variety of scanners, and Abbyy works well in terms of clear scanning and page orientation.

Re: Recording Mic via AudioHijackPro.
Hi Geof. Soundflower no longer comes with audio hijack pro. It used to be there were two components that you needed to install. Instant hijack allowed audio hijack pro to hijack audio from an app without restarting it. While soundflower allowed you to record all system audio. Now they have a new component called instant on, which is supposed to replace both of those older components. However instant on doesn't seem to include the mic while hijacking system audio. Even if you have the mic hijacked with another session, and have it's output going through default system output, instant on doesn't seem to grab it.

The issue is if you try to run Windows without running it as a virtual machine. The sound usually works if you are running Windows through Fusion as a virtual machine.

Just a word of warning here. After more than one experience; stay away from the Mac Book Pro 13 inch laptop.

Fission selection and play head movement?
Greetings y'all, I understand how to move the play head in small increments with the arrow keys and select via "i" and "o", but thought I'd ask whether the faster head movement/selection techniques are accessible in a manner that I missed. When I select tools -> select play head I can not locate an edit field or slider control. Ditto for tools -> set selection (command-l). The documentation indicates that one can combine the arrow keys with command, control and option for larger increments, however they only seem to duplicate the function of home and end (i.e move to the beginning or end). Is there something I'm missing or is that as good as it gets for this app? TIA for any suggestions and best regards.
