Help with restoring from Time Machine backups please!
Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the Mac life style smile. My Mac was repaired, and all my stuff on the hard drive was wiped clean. I have a Time Machine backup, but I'm having problems with the drive I did the backup on. Some of the files are unusable saying the disc could not be read or written to. I'm afraid to sync my Ihpone with the Mac for fear I will lose my addressbook. I tried using Migration Assistant to restroe the files, but it says what is contained on the backup drive exceeds the Mac's storage capacity. If anhyone knows a way to get most of my files back, I'd grately appreciate it. I'm afraid my addressbook, music files, and others are lost forever. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. Sincerely, Allison My birds are winged blessings, they help me soar! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Help with restoring from Time Machine backups please!
You could boot off the install Disk and restore from a time machine backup from there. I haven't done this often enough to give steps on how to do this but you should be able to figure it out. If not, maybe someone else could chime in. One thing that I will coshin you to do is to make sure that the only drive connected to your mac is the drive containing the time machine backup. The reason I say this is because it is difficult to select which drive to restore from. Hope this helps.

Re: Editing Tracks in Amadeus
Hi, just set by pressing CMD + Y the insertion point in Track one where your outro should start. paste now the outro from clipboard to a new track by pressing CMD + Option + V. Before you should have prepaired the fade in of your outro. Then you can flatten the document and you'll get one track.

Re: by way of introduction
Hey Joe Good to see your still out there. Haven't heard from you in a long time. I think you will enjoy mac os very much once you learn how voiceover works. It took me a long time.

click to flash
Hi Tyler: Click to flash is a plugin extenuation that, as I understand it, prevents flash images from getting in the way of text content on a webpage. Flash content on the Mac with voiceover is a no-go. I also had an experience where eventhough I had disabled click to flash, the page images were blocked, which seems strange to me.

For me, the one possible sour note was the reference to Samantha and Tom as an improvement over Alex that we have now. I hope this will not mean that Apple will decide to retire Alex in favor of what are, for me at least, vastly inferior voices in Samantha and Tom. There will be other English voices, the ones we know on the IPhone. Indeed, it sounds like the voices that are coming to Lion are those we now have on the I-devices. Great for speakers of languages other than English. Great for folks who prefer a non-U.S. English reading voice. But a definite leap backwards if they can Alex in favor of what's on the IPhone now, even if they include the male voice.

Re: by way of introduction
Welcome to the world of Mac and VoiceoVer, I am sure you will have a lot of fun. You do not have very long to wait for Mac 10.7 (Lion) either which will come with even more VoiceOver enhancements and apparently a whole host of new voices in various languages.

Re: one liners
Hi Ricardo and Sarah: The one-line type responses are often confusing for readers if they happen upon your post before the questioner's post. That doesn't mean 5 page essays are desirable.

Re: So, I Believe I hve an iTunes problem, but not sure
Hi Oh boy. It's really hard to trouble shoot this. Way to many variables. You need to make sure that you have itunes set to not sync all content. I can't remember where that setting is right now. You want to see the table that let's you select the items to sync. Why you are not seeing the phone... Maybe it is configured with a different itunes account than the computer. That will not work. They have to be the same.

Re: Email signatures
Hi Carolyn, no that is not correct. What I want to do is have a file of sayings. The saying would be picked randomly from this file every time a e-mail is sent and added as a : signature. siiture is selected.

Re: iTunes question
Hello Matthew, You seem to have the Mac firewall activated. If this isn't what you want, you can turn it off in System Preferences, Security, Firewall tab. If you want the firewall on, check the "allow signed software to received incoming traffic" option, in the Advanced configuration in the same Firewall tab.

Is there a command to announce the time on a Mac?
Hi listers, I've had my macbook for a few months now, searched the voiceover help and listened to a few of the podcasts on blindcooltech. But I've found no info on how I can have VO tell me the time. The only time-related voice feature I've found is the ability to announce the time on the quarter-hour, half-hour, or hour in the settings. Is there a way to have the time announced when I want to hear it? Thanks in advance. Eric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Is there a command to announce the time on a Mac?
This doesn't work. I only have one option key on my Mac (it's the Macbook Air that came out at the end of October), but it's the second key to the left of the space bar. Pressing and holding it and then pressing T does nothing.

Re: Is there a command to announce the time on a Mac?
Hi Eric! You can enable keyboard commander and allow vo to be controlled by apple scripts! 1, open vo utility vo+f8 2, scroll until you get to the vo controlled by apple scripts button and check it! 3, go to the table and interact with it and scroll down to commanders and then stop interacting! 4, scroll th the keyboard tab and check it then scroll the enable button and check that! 5, you will now need to pick which option key you would like to use it should be set on the right one but you can select the left one if you prefer! 6, if you then scroll to the table of items and interact with it you will see some preset scripts one of which is read time using the command [ in my case ] right option+t! you will also have the option to make your own shortcuts and seeing you've got a mbp there should be trackpad options as well! anyway I hope thats some help!

Re: Is there a command to announce the time on a Mac?
Hello, Just to add to what Donna and Colin said, the fastest way to get the date and time without the keyboard commander is to press Control F8 and then left arrow. Control F8 (or VO M, M) jumps you to the status bar, where you have icons for clock, battery, bluetooth, etc. Pressing left arrow once puts you on the clock icon. Note that in fact the clock icon is the last one on the row, and the left arrow wraps around to the last position. This doesn't happen if you have QuickNav on.

Oh ok, this is comparable to touching near the top of the screen on the iPhone (I had an iPhone with VO before I bought this computer). Thanks!

Pitchfork.com causes safari to crash with VO
Hello again listers, Pitchfork.com is a music criticism website that I sometimes read. However, when I go there on my Mac with VO, I can't seem to navigate past the first couple of links before Safari crashes. Starting from the top of the page, after the "playlist", I hear list end, and when I try to go further it always crashes. Does this happen to anyone else? Thanks in advance.

litle script question
Hello,
Can someone help me with a litle bash-script?
I would like to test if there is a txt-file in the current working directory.
I was thinking about the following code for the bashscript:
var=${ls *.txt} && if [ -n "$var" ]; then echo "yes" else echo "no" ; fi
The error I have here is:
${ls *.txt}: bad substitution
the -n options looks if the variable is not empty , I think.
Could someone help me pls?
Thx for your help,
best regards,
William Windels

Re: Is there a command to announce the time on a Mac?
Go to the system preferences and select "date and time". Under the "clock" tab, there is a check box for announcing time. Check it and use the pop-up button next to it to select when you want it announced.

TrackPad Commander version of the answer [was Re: Is there a command to announce the time on a Mac?]
Hi Eric, If you want something close to your iPhone experience, you can use the TrackPad Commander gestures to navigate. You'll find this is particularly efficient in moving through items like tables where you would otherwise have to press multi-key shortcuts to interact. Here's the equivalent instructions to the ones that Colin gave for navigating through the VoiceOver Utility menu to turn on Keyboard Commanders performed with TrackPad Commander gestures. I'll note that you do not have to check the box for "Allow VoiceOver to be controlled with AppleScript" under the "General" menu of VoiceOver Utility in order to have the time spoken if you use the default Keyboard Commanders time definition, so I'll skip this step in my instructions. However, if you want to customize your own AppleScripts for the way time is spoken, or for other commands that you add to the Keyboard Commander, you will need to check this option. I think TrackPad Commander is turned on by default for the MacBook Air. At least, it was turned on for the MacBook Air that I set up for someone. You can turn TrackPad Commander on and off either by pressing the VO-keys (Control and Option) while making a clockwise rotor gesture with two fingers on the TrackPad or by checking the box to "Enable TrackPad Commander" in the Commanders menu of VoiceOver Utility (VO-F8). VO+clockwise two finger rotor gesture on the TrackPad turns TrackPad Commander on, while VO+counterclockwise two finger rotor gesture on the TrackPad turns TrackPad Commander off. 1. Press VO-F8 to bring up VoiceOver Utility. (I assume that you have your keyboard options set so that you don't have to press the "Fn" key together with the F8 key to bring up VoiceOver Utility. If not, go to the "Keyboard" menu of System Preferences (Control-F2 or VO-M to the Apple menu bar, arrow down and press "s y" to go to the "System Preferences" options and press Return, then navigate to the "Keyboard" menu and select with VO-Space.) On the "Keyboard" tab, make sure that you've checked (with VO-Space) the check box for "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" . These commands are all given as standard VoiceOver sequences, though you can also use TrackPad commander gestures to navigate and select, as I'll demonstrate in the following instructions.) 2. Press "c" to go to "Commanders", then do a series of one finger flicks right on the trackpad to move to the "Keyboard" tab and double tap to select. 3. Flick right once to the "Enable Keyboard Commander" check box, and double tap to select. 4. Flick right to read the radio button options for selecting either the Right or Left Option key to use as the modifier key for Keyboard Commander shortcuts and double tap to make your selection 5. Flick right to the table of default Keyboard Commander shortcut definitions and interact with the table by doing a two finger swipe to the right on the trackpad. 6. Flick right to read the table entries. You can change the action associated with a keyboard key (such as "t" for running the AppleScript script "TimeofDay") command by double tapping the command menu button, which brings up a menu of various other commands you could assign to this key. Flick up and down the categories, and flick right to move into submenus for a category, where you can also flick up and down for options, or flick left to go back up to the menu category. Double tap to select a new assignment. The two finger scrub gesture on the trackpad will get you out of the menu (or you can press the "escape" key). 7. Do a two finger swipe left on the trackpad to stop interacting with the table. 8. Command-W to the close the window and exit VoiceOver Utility. Just as with the iPhone and Bluetooth Keyboard support, you can use a combination of gestures and keyboard commands for the same actions. For example, if I have Quick Nav turned on, I can move to the next element by tapping my right arrow key as well as by flicking. I can "Read All" with either VO-A or a two finger flick up (or down, if it's read all from the current position) on the Trackpad. You can interrupt VoiceOver speaking either by pressing the Control key or with the two finger tap on the Trackpad, and resume with either the key press (Control) or the gesture (two finger tap on the Trackpad). I don't usually give the instructions this way, since the standard VoiceOver keyboard shortcuts are universal, and desktop Macs or older laptops (such as my own 13" MacBook) require the Magic TrackPad and Snow Leopard to use the TrackPac gestures, while the standard shortcuts work for all versions of VoiceOver (back to Tiger!). However, since Colin and other have given you the instructions with keyboard based command options, and since you say you have a MacBook Air, and have come to the Mac from the iPhone, these options may feel more familiar to you. To find out more about the TrackPad gestures, check t

Re: Pitchfork.com causes safari to crash with VO
I get the same crash in safari when attempting to navigate that site using VO Right Arrow. Tried it with and without click to flash, but no difference. All open safari windows close and I am presented with the Apple problem reporter. I didn't try any other methods of navigating around the site. I wonder if this happens on the latest webkit. I'm running the latest safari and all SL patches on a unibody mac mini.

A more explicit description of my weird iTunes issue
I realize that I should have given more information about what I did before giving up in frustration the other night when I could not sync my iPhone. Some of the suggestions I received I already tried, e.g., my first try was after checking do not sync all content, and I did try powering everything down and then back up. I did see the iPhone in the Sources menu, and initially, the summary was correct. I was continually asked whether I wanted to transfer purchased items to the library, and I kept telling it to transfer. But when I attempted to sync, everything went crazy. I kept getting the message that the iPhone was not connected, even though it was still in the Sources menu. Now though, the capacity was completely wrong. When I disconnected the iPhone, the only music on it was the recently purchased music -- 12 songs! All of my apps were unmolested and fine. Must I deauthorize my other computer; currently, both are authorized, but I only intend to use the Mac for syncing with the iPhone from this point forward, with the PC as an unlikely back-up.

Re: Verizon to Drop Unlimited iPhone Data Plans as Soon as This Summer
Oops. Hit send to quick. LOL. Let's try that again. Can we learn how to use commas, and please spell check, and capitalize sentences? Please? I mean, come on people! It isn't anything new, is it? I just get really irritated when I have to think about if it's in some other language before realizing it's a bashed form of English someone created. Geeze people. Sorry, I just had to vent.

Re: Verizon to Drop Unlimited iPhone Data Plans as Soon as This Summer
I think it's a good idea actually. Yu can go on the cheapest contract and if there is let's say an 8 gig 4gs that runs vo you could probably spend only $49 let's say for a contract and that might be everything so yeah I'm all for it.

Re: Pitchfork.com causes safari to crash with VO
Eric - I had the same problem this evening on both the pitchfork and opera.com sites. Same symptoms, same steps to cause the crash, and I submitted problem reports for both. These two crashes in one day equal the total number of safari crashes I had last year, so it makes me itchy. BTW - today's build of webkit isn't exhibiting this problem for me, though webkit has it's own glitches.

an update on what audio hijack devs had to say with there latest version.
Well I contacted audio hijack support and here's what they have to say. Hi Sarah, Apologies for the delay to respond. Your best bet would be to include your microphone as a VoiceOver effect to your System Audio session. Hope that helps! It does but here's what I said. the effects tab is not accessible with voice over, the screen reader. Any plans to get sound flower back in the mix of things? I had to downgrade just to get that function back. Thanks. I hope they do add sound flower in as with nice cast you have to use sound flower and audio hijack to hijack multiple sources at once. Take care. -- 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: some good and some possibly bad news for bo users
Well, let me put it this way. If the eSpeak voices worked on the mac, I would use them. I can and for that matter do, run eSpeak at full spead on my vinux box and also in windows with Jaws. I love Alex, but I just don't understand him at that kinda high speads. The only other voices I can run that fast is the Keynote Voice on the BrailleNote and Dectalk on my Phone.

Great for speakers of languages other than English. Great for folks who prefer a non-U.S. English reading voice. But a definite leap backwards if they can Alex in favor of what's on the IPhone now, even if they include the male voice.

Just finished re-installing OS
Hi list: Well, I just had to try this: I just re-installed the MAC OS and everything worked as expected. I had a little problem with the keyboard acting funny, but, removal of VoiceOver and reactivating it fixed everything. I haven't re-installed the apps that came with the system yet, as I'm not too worried about them right now. Anyway, what can I say. This is beyond cool! How many Windows systems can we install with the standard CD with no script and no monitor? Not many, I'd bet! Anyway, this is going to be a fun experience.

Re: some good and some possibly bad news for bo users
I run alex at 90 percent and he sounds just fine but I've been always known to run voices at close to 100 with practice lol! Take care all.

Re: Is there a command to announce the time on a Mac?
Hi. It's fine, but how can i edit the script to say the date and time in a non english language?
