Re: accepting contact request on skype

2011-03-16 Thread Antonio M. Guimaraes Jr.
thank you afaela,

I will try your method to see if it works.

I was seeing people I sent a request to, and thought the skype message to the 
effect taht the user was awating approval meant that I had to approve the 
individual, but I guess I was wrong.

Thank you though.

A new subscribers First Question.

2011-03-16 Thread ashley

Hi all,

My name is ashley; some of you may know me from the macvoiceover and BCT 
lists, the AC Tech podcast, etc. 've just joined this list; have owned a 
mac for around 2 and a bit years now. I hope to be able to share my own 
knowledge to help others as well as possibly to get some of my own 
questions answered :)!


Here is the first of those questions... Sorry if this is a little 
off-topic for this list, and sorry to those who have already received a 
similar question through macvoiceover.


I recently aquired a original Bondi Blue iMac, running OS9.2. I've been 
looking everywhere for the 'outspoken' screenreader for this macine, but 
can't seam to find it anywhere. I was wondering, does anybody have, or 
know of  somewhere I can download, a disk image of outspoken 9.2 or one 
that will run under OS9? I really don't want to pay $195 for it, as I 
got this mac for free and it's not worth spending that much on it.


If anybody can help, It would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Ash

Re: Is the disappearance of Voice Over a unique problem, or do others have it, too?

2011-03-16 Thread Michael Thurman
I have the problem I though tit was just a normal screw up but nw i am 
wondering  is there a comon thread t these problems such as what hardware e run 
 a friend of mine had the issues and apple replaces his 13 inch macbook pro 
with a new i 5 version.  He o longer hs the issue  I have the older 13 inch 
macbook pro with 4 gigs of memory and the issues is so bad sometimes i can't 
even scroll through my stuff on my hard drive without it crashig several times 
a day. O fcurse i am out of warrenty and could not afford to get apple care to 
extend it. i also can not empty the trash even with secure empty trash evn 
after repairing disk permissins and directory structure. a trip to appl enow 
would be expensive i'm sure. I wonder if we can how, if it is true, that this 
is a problem with specific hardware. If that is the case perhaps apple will 
decide it's int her best intrest to replace some machines. I relaly find it 
upsetting that voiceover sems to be less stable than jaws, and the problem 
seems to be getting worse

using older charger on my MB pro?

2011-03-16 Thread Donna Goodin
Hi all,

I'm going to be traveling the next few days, and will be staying with someone 
who has an MB pro that's about two-three years older than mine, i.e about 4-5 
years old.  Is there any reason I can't use her charger on my Macbook?
TIA,
Donna

Re: using older charger on my MB pro?

2011-03-16 Thread Zachary Kline
Hi Donna,
The cautious side of me would say that it probably isn't a good idea to use a 
charger with a machine it wasn't designed for.  I don't know much about 
variations in those components over the past few years, apart from the 
relatively recent switch to magnetic connectors on the adapter..  
ALl that being said, I don't know that you can't use the two together either.  
If it were me, I wouldn't, just to be safe.  Someone who knows better feel free 
to correct me.
SOrry I can't be more definitively helpful.
Best,
Zack.

Re: Is the disappearance of Voice Over a unique problem, or do others have it, too?

2011-03-16 Thread Christopher Peppel
Hi there,

Just a thought, would it still be worth going to the Apple Store and explaining 
the problem to see what they say?  I have heard that there are some occasions 
where Apple has made a replacement even though your Apple care is no longer 
valid.  Just thought it might be worth looking into.  Good luck.

Re: using older charger on my MB pro?

2011-03-16 Thread Ricardo Walker
I totally agree,

Using a charger from a 2006 or 2007 MBP doesn't sound like something I would 
want to take a risk on.  I think those where the models with replaceable 
batteries too.  Nah Donna, better safe than sorry.  Bring your on charger.

Re: using older charger on my MB pro?

2011-03-16 Thread Bryan Jones
Hi Donna,

According to Apple, the one thing to beware of is the wattage of the mag-safe 
adapter you are using. Apple has produced mag-safe adapters in three different 
wattage levels: 85, 60 and 45. They say it is OK to use an adapter rated at a 
higher wattage but not one rated at a lower wattage than the particular macbook 
is designed for. The KB article below gives more details and includes tables of 
the various macbook models, their release dates, and their wattage 
requirements. Note this article is US-specific.

Looking for feedback regarding accessibility of the apps in today's MacUpdate Promo bundle

2011-03-16 Thread Bryan Jones
All,

Today's MacUpdate Promo appears to be a bundle of decent Apps for US $49. I've 
listed them below and am wondering if anybody here knows about the level of VO 
accessibility of any of these. I seem to recall Parallels is inaccessible while 
1 Password and DVDRemaster are accessible. The macupdate promos can be found at 
www.mupromo.com
Here's a list of the main applications included in the bundle:
Parallels Desktop 6
1 Password 3
DVDRemaster 7
Mac DVDRipper Pro 2
Tech Tool Pro 5
Hands Off
A Better Finder Rename 8

Thanks,
Bryan

What is a right pointing double arrow?

2011-03-16 Thread Howard Dupuis
On my bank's website, there's a clickable element that ends with a
"right pointing double arrow." (It changes whether you are viewing
just the past 30 days, or a longer period.) However, no matter what
kind of key command, or mouse command, or prayerful command I use,
nothing seems to happen. Is this right pointing double arrow telling
me that something different needs to be done to activate this
particular element?
Thanks.

Re: What is a right pointing double arrow?

2011-03-16 Thread Teresa Cochran
Usually, this is just an image to indicate that there are a number of choices 
to be made. I haven't encountered it as a link, so if VO doesn't indicate it's 
a link, you'll most likely be able to find other more accessible ways to change 
your search criteria, etc.

Re: using older charger on my MB pro?

2011-03-16 Thread TIM KILBURN
Hi donna,

You'll need to determine if the older charger has the same wattage output.   
That is, is it a 60 watt or 85 watt unit.  Typically, if your computer uses the 
85 watt power adapter, then as long as the other is the same wattage or less, 
you'll be fine.  The problems occur if you go the opposite direction, that is, 
if your MBP uses the 60 watt power adapter, you cannot use the 85 watt one as 
it can burn out components in the charging system.  The wattage rating is 
labeled on the charger itself as well as you should be able to find this info 
on the web or within your electronic User's Guide.

HTH.

Re: Looking for feedback regarding accessibility of the apps in today's MacUpdate Promo bundle

2011-03-16 Thread Justin Ekis
Hi,

I was about to send a similar message when I noticed that you can download the 
bundle and try the demos before buying. Tech Tool and Civilization IV don't 
have demonstration versions though. Here's what I've found, but it's really not 
much information. This was just a quick examination of the programs, I tried to 
look at as many screens as I could get to quickly. If anyone else has any more 
complete information about these programs I'd be interested to hear. 

I didn't try parallels today, but unless they've update it in the last 4 
months, it's inaccessible.
1 password is Very accessible. I've used the demo for a while and was waiting 
for a deal.
DVD remaster and Mac DVD ripper pro seem to be fully accessible.
It seems tech tool pro is inaccessible. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Looks 
like a great app.
I think i'm missing something with hands off, it feels inaccessible but I might 
just not be understanding the layout. Anyone?
I think App Tamer is accessible, once I understand how it works.
Same for a better finder rename, looks accessible, but I need to dig into the 
documentation to understand it better.
MacUpdate desktop is almost completely accessible. The table showing the 
download status does not read for some reason. You get a 6 month membership 
with the bundle.
The first 1 orders also get a license for a program called divvy, but it 
doesn't seem to be accessible.

I decided that even though not all of the applications are accessible, there's 
enough here to make this bundle worth the price for me. I'm especially glad to 
have DVD remaster and 1password. App tamer looks like it might be useful. 
MacUpdate Desktop is a nice bonus. If I'm not mistaken, DVD Remaster pro on 
it's own costs as much as the entire bundle. I won't even bother with the 1.7 
gb extra download of Civilization iv. That's a 3d game and I wouldn't even 
expect it to be accessible.

These are my scattered thoughts after three hours with the bundle. Maybe 
another list member has something more coherent to contribute. LOL.

Reaper versus other sound editors on the mac

2011-03-16 Thread Thomas Byskov Dalgaard
Hello guys!

I just ran   across the Reaper website. I haven't tested it yet due to a little 
amount of  spare time.
However, I think the idea of Reaper sounds great and I want to know if any one 
of you have given it a try? And if so, what was your experiences  with it and 
what about Voiceover accessibility? And can you perhaps compare it to other 
products like Audacity or maybe Amadeus Pro?

Thanks for your answers.

Best regards Thomas

Re: Reaper versus other sound editors on the mac

2011-03-16 Thread Jes Smith
Reaper is similar to products such as pro tools on the Mac, but it's a lot 
cheaper. Unfortunately, there is really no accessibility to it for the Mac yet. 
Items such as the track list, arm status, outputs and effects used, etc, do not 
read. So, there's no point in trying it on the Mac. I've tried it on that other 
OS, Windows, and it works great, as long as you have the reaaccess bridge.

Re: iphone3 gs problem:

2011-03-16 Thread Frank Carmickle
Hi

They told you to reset your phone because of a battery that's crapping out?  
Hard to believe that an Apple employee wouldn't know better.  I'm sorry they 
gave you bad information.  The battery is dying.  Time for a new battery.  If 
you have apple care and it's with in the two years they should give you a new 
phone for free.  If you don't have apple care then you will need to buy a new 
phone or live with this battery problem until you can get a new phone.  You 
should make sure that you are trying to keep your batteries healthy.  Make sure 
that you fully drain, use until it shuts itself off, and charge to 100% once a 
month.  Try to use the phone longer before plugging it in.  Try to let it come 
to 100% before unplugging it.  Don't leaved it plugged in after it is fully 
charged.  These are all things that will help get you a longer life out of your 
battery.

Hi, 
Other people have already answered this but i want to give my opinnion about 
this, partly to start a discussion and partly because i want things to happen 
and don't know where to start to really make them happening.
The basics of Reaper are actually accessible, menus, dialogs and such stuff 
works. You can't however see the tools in the various tool boxes nor the meters 
and stuff. If this is important to you, maybe you should wait, if it's not, 
then Reaper clearly has potential. I absolutely love the scrubbing feature that 
makes it possible to audibly cue yourself to the point where a selection or 
whatever should take place, something that isn't possible in neither Audacity 
nor Amadeus pro, despite the fact that i have told the developer i want that 
feature.
The program has an extensive list of shortcuts, it seems that almost any 
operation can be done from the keyboard.
I haven't tried it so much yet, so can't say if it is usable, but i sure hope 
it will be, and here's where i need help in convincing developers etc that we 
are a growing group and that we really want to see this very competent editor 
fully accessible.

Re: Reaper versus other sound editors on the mac

2011-03-16 Thread Jes Smith
Hi Krister,

Actually, the basics of Reaper would include looking at meters, your track arm 
status, pan and volume levels, etc.
IF you want to do anything really important with Reaper, for now, you can 
forget it on the Mac side. It just isn't possible yet. As a matter of fact, the 
only reason why it's possible to do things with Reaper on Windows is because of 
the reaaccess bridge, which are essentially a bundle of scripts or set files 
that each screen reader maker has put in place. Without that, the Mac and the 
Windows versions are really the same, only offering access to dialogues, menus 
and the like. Access to the track's routing matrix, plug in presets, 
input/output routing, etc, would not be there in Windows either.

gmail pop problems in mail

downloading mail from my gmail account.  I tried deleting the account and 
recreating ite, deleting mail prefrences and starting over from scratch.  I am 
not sure what happened.  It works fine in vinux which I have in a trial version 
of fution.  It just started the other night.  I tested all the settings and 
they appear to be working.  I am able to send, but not receive.  Imap works 
fine, but don't really want to use that as I have had problems with it and i 
don't want to say what they are at this point.  Besides that I have an icon 
which does not support imap to begin with so just trying to stick with 
something that everyone will be happy with.  Thanks again for your help.  
Please write back asap.

where is this in the IPhone

2011-03-16 Thread Cheree Heppe
Cheree Heppe here:

In my NetBook running Windows XP, in Outlook Express, there is a contacts 
section.  In this section, I am able to land on an E-mail address and send 
messages to that address.

When I want to send an E-mail, it allows me to start to type the E-mail address 
and it fills the rest in for me.  This is helpful when I don't remember the 
E-mail address.

Where is this feature in the IPhone?


Regards,
Cheree Heppe

CopypastePro.

2011-03-16 Thread Geoff Waaler
Greetings y'all,

I've not been able to get off square one with CopyPaste Pro.  VO repeatedly 
says: "system dialog. Interact" and no keys have any discernible affect.  I 
turned off all voiceOver verbosity, automatic interaction and cursor/mouse 
linkage features that I could find, to no avail.

It may turn out that this app will be usable once I get past the intro/license 
key entry dialogs, but without assistance I've not yet ascertained how to 
accomplish this.

I'm open to suggestions if anyone has ideas.

Best regards.
Geoff
