Re: Big time Vo Crash
Maybe it helps to reinstall Snow Leopard. The trackpad on my MacBook Air 13 inch was absolutely inresponsive. Sometimes the gestures worked fine and sometimes I had to do a gesture 3 ord 4 times until it worked. accessibil...@apple.com wrote they couldn't reproduce this issue. For another reason I reinstalled Snow Leopard and now it workes fine. Now it's as responsive as my Magic Trackpad on my iMac.

Re: repairing permissions
Hello Christina, I normally just repair permissions and don't bother with verifying permissions. I also get to Disk Utility by pressing Command-Shift-U to get straight to the Utilities folder, then the letters "dis" to go straight to Disk Utility. Having opened the application, you have to interact with the table to select your hard drive. This will be the first item in the list, so just interacting will select it. Stop interacting and navigate right where First Aid should already be selected. Keep going right until you find REpair Permissions and click it. You can follow its progress by going left again until you find the Results table. Interact with this and you'll see lines appearing as permissions are repaired.

RE: Drop Box
Hello Ricardo. Yes I created and activated my account on the windows side and logged in and downloaded the app on the mac side. I don't see my drop box folder and I'm not sure that I got a good download. I can't remove the app and start over because it runs at startup and I don't know how to stop this. Also, I don't know how to be sure that my download completed successfully in safari. If I can clean up and start again I should be able to fix this.

ipad 2 is so freaking thin
So i ended my quest with an ipad2, like 24 other lucky ones today. Mac geeks packing the place twittering, angry birding, mailing and texting with typical apple sonic panorama. This unit is deviously simple feeling. Really in tune with what the macbook air feels like, though half its thickness which is just plain crazy. It's a beautiful piece of hardware. All the apps just scream speed and efficiency. And the smart case is pretty cool too, snaps on like it's meant to be there and asks only for it, folds out nicely to prop up as a stand, and both put together it feels sturdy and elegant, high quality just like any apple product save those stupid earphones. Anyway, i'm glad to have waited those hours chatting off with a bunch of other mac nerds and fanatics. It's like a cult experience. The whole thing is meant to be this way. Brings people together and everyone knows the deal, is happy with it, and just moves on with life once their wares are at grasp. Anyone who wishes to upgrade, do so. Going back to this slab thing from the future. Yuma -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Drop Box
Ah yes, This is what I thought. You need to activate dropbox on your Mac. Unfortunately, dropbox broke the voiceover accessibility for this in their last update. You need sighted help to get dropbox up and running on your Mac. After that, you will have the dropbox folder in your Home folder by default if you so choose, and you with have access to the vital functions of dropbox. hth Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com Twitter, Skype, and AIM: rwalker296 www.mobileaccess.org On Mar 25, 2011, at 5:29 AM, Paul Hunt wrote: > Hello Ricardo.

Re: ipad and text editor
I use DraftPad, or Plain Text, or Notesy. Draftpad is just what it sounds like, a scratchpad. You take down notes and can email them to yourself or someone else, tweet them, other things.

Re: pyrcast, a nearly accessible pandora.com client
This is a nice client for Pandora that was easily labeled with a minute of sighted help. For anybody using it, I have noticed one problem and wonder if you can duplicate it. Start playing a station, then switch to another station and start playing that one. Every time I do that, I get pyrcast busy busy, busy, and the only way to make it stop is to shut off vo and then restart it. Also, I haven't found a way to start a station playing in the table of stations except by routing the mouse to the vo cursor and then doing the simulated click vo shift space. Has anybody found a way to make this work without having to fool with the mouse cursor? Same for creating a station. Only the mouse click will complete the add station process and start the new station playing, at least, in my experience. Other thoughts?

Re: repairing permissions
Hello Christina, After an update to the OS, it's normal to have vast numbers of permission repairs. The next time you do it, there'll just b a few. You can never get down to none when you run Disk Utility from the internal hard drive, but maybe it's possible when Disk Utility is run from the installation disk, something that has to be done if you need to perform the Repair Disk function. Before you ask, Disk Utility is available from the menus on the screen that follows the Language Chooser screen during the installation process.

RE: Drop Box
Ricardo, I assume that I need to open dropbox and get help activating it? -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ricardo Walker Sent: Friday, March 25, 2011 4:45 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Drop Box Ah yes, This is what I thought. You need to activate dropbox on your Mac. Unfortunately, dropbox broke the voiceover accessibility for this in their last update. You need sighted help to get dropbox up and running on your Mac. After that, you will have the dropbox folder in your Home folder by default if you so choose, and you with have access to the vital functions of dropbox. hth Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com Twitter, Skype, and AIM: rwalker296 www.mobileaccess.org On Mar 25, 2011, at 5:29 AM, Paul Hunt wrote: > Hello Ricardo.

Making Textedit a Service
Hey Simon, here's what I did. In system preferences, I go to the keyboard settings, I go to the keyboard shortcuts tab and select services in the shortcuts categories. Now when I go to the right of that, I get another table with a whole bunch of keyboard shortcuts to choose from and the original poster said to go right of that shortcuts categories table to service names. So what I'm trying to say is, I don't get no such table called service names, all I get are two tables, shortcuts categories and keyboard shortcuts. So I don't know what to do. If someone could assist me on Skype, that would be cool. Shawn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Acapela Voices
Yes they should be in the VO Utilities. Also if you use the control+option+command right and left arrows to find the voice roter then use the down arrow while holding down those same 3 keys, you should be able to find them more quicker.

Re: Drop Box
Exactly. Although voiceover is telling you that dropbox has no windows, there is indeed a window. It says somethings like Welcome to Dropbox. And then the options create an account or I have an existing account are displayed underneath.

1 Password
I thought I read on this list that the 1 password software was accessible with voiceover? Well, I downloaded the trial version last night. It actually downloaded as an .app file. However, when I open it, VO says it has no windows. the only way I could close this app was by doing a force quit. I also looked under the menus with ctrl-F8 and found no option for the program there either. At least, nothing visible. I wish I remembered the person who worked with the developer on this 1. So, if anyone has any other info on 1 password, I would appreciate it, thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Hi, Would you mind sharing where you got this piece of news? I haven't heard anything about it and Googling is producing nothing.

first hour with DJ on ipad2
Hoya sonic heads, Dedication and persistance, constant messaging on the algoriddim forum have probably galvanized the developers of DJ to label all their buttons, as this confirms somewhat their interest in making all their applications accessible, and this purveys a lot of good news to come people. SO i have been testing DJ on my brand new ipad2, figuring where all the controls are on the virtual surface, which incidentally is a miniature version of a classic turntable deck, and after finding the track loading buttons on both turntables, i decided to give the it a spin, tryig out scratches and fading from one table to the other. Were i sighted, all of this would have been pure bliss. Being blind, this is like a game of battleship with a muffled sonar, but the experience is way better than before. The scratching can definetely be improved as the resolution isn't high standard, and a lot of buttons , mainly eq and effects racks, come out from a pop up once you tap on toggle alternative buttons. Now before i go on and try some more on this little beauty, i wanted to call upon anyone on these lists who might be interested in setting up a quick kickstarter project. As some of you might know, kickstarter is a crowd funding platform for various creative ideas in the music, movie and design industries. This allows for teams with great ideas and would like to try getting funds for it to make something happen. Some projects include braille watches, solar charged ipad cases, etc. I wanted to know if anyone here, with a little team work and a few brainstorming sessions, would like to go forth with a slipmat for the ipad, specifically for DJ, with cookie cutter spaces where all the controls are. I have already been outlining this in a previous post, but the more i try dj on the ipad, the more i see this as a realistic goal. I have no problem assigning a small team at my studio for preparing the cads for molding, as well as preparing the contacts for a first prototype which can be videoed live on an ipad. I am talking a real prototype made in resin which will be printed from a 3d service, based on our cad files. If someone would be willing to help with the kickstarter platform as its only us based for now, we can probably get something going and all DJ fans, blind or not i am sure, can have something good out of this. Please let me know off list whether this would interest you. It doesn't really matter whether anyone would jump on the train or not, as i have been anticipating this for a while and have already budgeted myself for realizing the project, even at a scale of just a few prototypes. This is not to make any money, but to share the creative processes going on here, as well as a drive to provide alternative accessibility solutions for certain entertainment applications which we could greatly benefit from. Hope this will raise some eyebrows, and have a great weekend Yuma -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
