Hi George.
Nice to see you here.
So you have also jumped in to the land of Apples.
>From what I know there is no double tap and hold funktion from the

Re: Advice on opening Imac

RE: creating presentations in keynote

2011-04-26 Thread RATTRAY J.
Hi,

Is it making the noise because you have the font size to large and so
you have reached the limit of what can be seen on the screen - I always
assumed that was why it made the noise when I am working with Keynote.
Generally not experienced problems reviewing my slides so can't help
with that one at the moment.

Subject: creating presentations in keynote

Hello all,
I am attempting to make my first presentation in keynote and I have a
question.  When I am editing a slide, after typing one or two lines of
text, my mac makes the noise that it makes when I type onto the next
page in Pages.  It does this continuously as long as I type or move
around through the text.  Navigating back through what I have written is
also difficult since the VO commands don't seem to work correctly.  Are
there any settings I can change to make this easier?  

Any thoughts are appreciated.  

-Greg

Yes, that is what was happening.  I found an option in the inspector to 
automatically shrink the font to fit the slide.  This was very helpful.

RE: creating presentations in keynote

2011-04-26 Thread RATTRAY J.
Hi,

Another tip - might be useless but if you are using the notes pages in
keynote for speakers notes remember to stop interacting with slide and
then with the scroll area so you can navigate to the notes - having used
both ppt and keynote I like keynote better it just takes a little time
to get used to if you are used to ppt.

Card Cloud app, solution or problem

2011-04-26 Thread Cheree Heppe
Cheree Heppe here:

I recently read about an app called Card Cloud on a tech review.  I liked the 
idea of having E-cards that could be easily re-designed by me and passed around 
to contacts.

I really liked the idea about my being able to read these same cards from 
others without having somebody read the cards to me or taking time to scan the 
text of the cards using a document scanner.

However, when I tried the app, it presented an ambiguous sign up process where 
I couldn't figure out where to enter a password.  Nevertheless, the app sign up 
process thought I had a password in place.

Before I felt myself properly signed up, the app opened the Contacts list of my 
IPhone as a prominent resource and a small button at the bottom for yet more 
sign up information appeared.

I deleted the app.

Subsequently, I received an E-mail through Card Cloud, wanting more info 
through the app's website.

At this point, I couldn't recommend this app, both because of its murky sign in 
process and its muddy approach to accessibility.

Cheree Heppe

Programming on Mac

2011-04-26 Thread Chinyoka on Macbook
Okay, I had to put in this subject line to reflect the contents of the thread.

Try the Blind Programming list where various languages, including Objective C 
which is the staple for Mac,  are discussed. Although most of the stuff seems 
to be Windows-biased, but there are many gifted folks there who program on 
Linux and Macintosh. Their address is:

Such a fantastic day!

2011-04-26 Thread ShamelessFanGirl
Hi all,

I'm truly sorry if this is deemed OT, but I had to share my news with 
like-minded folk. I applied for, and just now received financing from Apple, so 
am off to order my Mac. God it's like Christmas!

Thanks for putting up with my elation, and have a fantastic day. I'll doubtless 
be back with a billion questions, or other such bursts of excitement, the rest 
of you have known about for years, but this positively rocks!

:D :D :D

P.S. I don't expect the transition to be without its flaws, or even an easy 
ride, but the challenge of this venture is half the fun for me. besides, my PC 
just died. lol

Subscribing to Podcasts [was Re: itunes problem]

2011-04-26 Thread Esther
Hi Denise,

I just looked for this podcast ("WGN Website Wednesday Night").  It appears 
that they produced 10 episodes between July and September of 2005, and then 
stopped using that feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/smb-wwn).  The web page 
for the site just started posting to a new webcasts page, but don't appear to 
have a dedicated feed for podcasts only, only a way to download from their web 
pages:
http://savemybutt.com/category/webcasts/
So the answer to your question is that their podcast feed at the iTunes Store 
is out of date, and probably should be removed or the information updated to 
point to a new feed if they create one (for the podcasts started up and being 
produced 6 years later).  I would unsubscribe and delete the entry.

Duplicate podcast subscription entries appear when the source of the podcast 
feed changes, or if the producer has changed the show name associated with the 
feed.  You can check whether this has happened by selecting one of the episodes 
from each feed, then using the contextual menu (VO-Shift-M) to choose "Copy 
URL".  Then paste the feed URL into a TextEdit window.  Do the same for an 
episode in the other feed, then check whether the two addresses are different.  
 Sometimes the developer maintains more than one feed source, or changes the 
feed.  Early BBC Radio 4 podcasts showed up under one feed address when they 
gave a direct feed to use for subscription, and then under another when they 
pointed to a different feed address in iTunes.  "In Our Time" changed the way 
they named the series a while back, so I have two different folders for the 
historical content.  

> 3. i am wondering if podcasts exists for blind access journal blog and 
> podcast and vision australia's mini podcast on the use of the mac.
Finding and adding podcasts from the iTunes Store is fairly straight-forward. 
For example, the iTunes URLs for the podcasts you asked about in your third 
question are:
• Blind Access Journal Blog:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/blind-access-journal/id398449775
• Vision Australia's podcast series on Apple Accessibility:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/apple-accessibility/id423121261
Navigate to any of the "View in iTunes" links or find them with item chooser 
menu and VO-Space. Then, in iTunes, navigate to the "Subscribe Free" button and 
press (VO-Space) to subscribe.  The easy way to find podcasts in the iTunes 
Store is to use the Power Search feature, which lets you choose the category of 
the search you want to perform (music, audiobooks, podcasts, apps, movies, 
etc.) and enter search information in any text field.  While there is a link to 
"Power Search" from the iTunes Store home page, and most main home pages 
(music, tv shows, etc.), the quick way to access this is by using the "Search…" 
menu option under the "Store" menu on the iTunes menu bar.  (This selects the 
iTunes Store in the source list table, and also loads the power search page in 
to the HTML area.  Because the power search page is text only, going to this 
page directly is a fast way to get into iTunes from your home library, since 
you're not loading the graphics and complex HTML pages of the main store page, 
and will encounter fewer "iTunes, busy" alerts.)   

Change the first pop up menu button from "All Results" to "Podcasts", then type 
in search terms into any of the fields.  (I couldn't find a match to "Vision 
Australia" in the podcast name, so I tried typing David Woodbridge's name as 
the  search term under the "Author" field).

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Thank you Ishe. I didn't think of the Blind Programming list for that very

it wouldn't be a good resource for mac programming. I apologize for
forgetting to put in a subject line. I was retyping this email very rushed

Extracting audio from avi files

2011-04-26 Thread Ronald van Rhijn
Dear all,
What I am about to ask has been discussed before but after trying all solutions 
I cannot seem to extract audio from avi files correctly. Heard a podcast from 
Sarah alawami where she first converts the movie file to another with Handbrake 
and then extracts the audio from that with Switch. But my movies are mostly 90 
minutes long and would take a long time. so would like to have an extractor 
which can do it straightaway.
My experiences so far:
DVDRemaster, Handbrake and Adapter don't extract audio from avi files at all.
MPEG Streamclip does open avi files but gives an error when trying to extract.
And the Mac version of Switch doesn't support avi files unfortunatley. It will 
open them but extraction never succeeds.

Are there any programs out there which can extract audio from avi files? Or am 
I doing something wrong with the above mentioned?

Many thanks,
Ronald

Good afternoon Ronald, 
Please try the following online file conversion service. I believe it should do 
what you want and shouldn't bog down your computer. Once conversion is 
complete, you will receive a download link for the converted file..

Re: Apple TV and streaming movies

2011-04-26 Thread Jenny Wood
Um, actually, we use handbrake to rip DVD's.  So far, this has been the 
easiest, most reliable method of copying movies onto the hard drive for us.  We 
simply leave handbrake's settings set to the defaults, except for optimizing 
the output file for iPod/iPhones.  Although, I think it may even have a setting 
to optimize the file for the AppleTV, but don't recall for sure.  So far, all 
of the movies in our collection stream beautifully via the AppleTV.  My 
apologies, I don't have much experience with many other DVD ripping 
applications.  We have just stuck with what works for us.

 from the iTunes store?  We have a lot of movies that are currently in a 
 format compatible with the iPod/iPhone, but when we attempt to view the

Thank you Ben. You were the one who told me on another list that I'd have to

does anyone else know about  any Xcode tutorials or other type of material
for learning Xcode from a blindness perspective? I have plenty of material
on Objective-C and Cocoa, but they all have some visual elements that make
things more difficult.

 Good day all!  Okay, so my husband and I just purchased a new Apple 
 TV, and so far, we love it!  Streaming Netflix is absolutely 
 awesome, and I love having so many choices of streaming internet 
 radio stations to listen to.  My question though, is concerning 
 movies.  Can one stream movies using airplay from an iTunes library 
 on another machine?  More specifically, can you stream movies that 
 are not necessarily purchased from the iTunes store?  We have a lot 
 of movies that are currently in a format compatible with the 
 iPod/iPhone, but when we attempt to view the list of movies using 
 the Apple TV, it says it is unable to connect to movies in our 
 library.  It can access the music with no problem.  Thank you in 
 advance for any assistance you have to offer. :-)

follow up to my last post regarding VirusBarrier Plus

2011-04-26 Thread Matthew Campbell
Hello again listers.
THis is just a follow up to my last post asking if VirusBarrier Plus was 
accessible.
I decided to take the plunge and I was rewarded. This product is even more 
accessible than the trial of VB X6 from Intego that I tried before spending 
money on the AppStore.
If any of you are looking for some basic virus protection for your macs, then 
I'd gladly say go and spend the money on it. It's on sale for a limited time 
for $7.99 but the regular price is $9.99 which is still a good deal. From what 
I've read, there is no subscription renewing to do either.
Hope this helps someone.
Matthew Campbell.

Apple TV opinions wanted.

2011-04-26 Thread Neil James
Greetings one and all. Well, the subject line says it all. I am thinking of 
giving an Apple TV as a Birthday present and would like opinions on this 
device. I have read a number of reviews on the web which claim that the Apple 
TV has problems with streaming video such as stuttering and freezing, but I'm 
taking such reviews with a grain of salt since the issues mentioned above could 
be caused by a number of factors. Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Apple TV and streaming movies

2011-04-26 Thread Jenny Wood
Stating the obvious of course, but the size will vary from movie to movie.  I 
just recently ripped the movie Tangled for instance, and it came out to be 
889.5MB.  I have had other movies come out to be a little more and others were 
a little less.  I'm sure there are probably other programs out there that are 
more efficient at shrinking the file size down a bit, but we just went with 
what we had and what worked for now.  I would certainly be open to suggestions. 
:-)  BTW, our movies are all in M4V format.

Hi Shameless:
I think most of us have been there.  there's absolutely nothing comparable to 
anticipating and getting started with that sleek gorgeous electronic beast.  
Think you'll be very happy.

Do keep us posted.

Re: Apple TV opinions wanted.

2011-04-26 Thread Chantelle Griffiths
Hi Neil, 

We got an Apple TV for Christmas and so far, we have had very few problems with 
stuttering or freezing if we're streaming from a device in our home, like a 
Mac, iDevice or a centrally based network drive where a lot of our videos etc 
are kept. The only time we've experienced the occasional problem with buffering 
content is when we've tried to listen to internet radio, though usually this 
works very well and we don't have a problem. The few times we've watched 
Youtube on it they've worked fine. 

Lately I have had the occasional problem where if we're listening to internet 
radio it'll freeze if I try to exit out of the internet radio menu if it's 
still playing, but I can't reliably reproduce this issue so can't accurately 
troubleshoot it. 

Overall, we've found the Apple TV works beautifully with our setup, and on the 
few occasions we have had streaming buffer issues, at least one of those has 
been a known problem on the server end, rather than ours. 

Hope this helps. 

Cheers,
Chantelle

Well all, the deed is done. I went with the 13 inch MBP in the end, 2.7 dual 
core I7, eight gigs of ram, with a 512 GB SSD. Doubt I'll be sleeping all that 
much until it arrives on, or near May 2nd. They'll have to pull me off the roof 
should signing be required. :)

Over all, an extremely accomplished day. Thanks to all of you for feeling my 
happiness, and responding to it. :D Sorry Keith, I know this is OT, and promise 
it won't happen again, but I had to let y'all know the system I chose. And now, 
onto my myriad of questions.

Have a good night all.

Accessible Weather Radio App for iOS devices

2011-04-26 Thread Sarai Bucciarelli
All:
I wanted to let you know Imap Weather Radio has just arrived in the app store 
today. It's accessible with Voiceover. This weather radio can alert you to bad 
weather using your GPS location, or you can program up to 5 locations. Allerts 
can be customized for specific weather events. So far, it is very good. You can 
also listen to your local weather radio station.

Is this the 10 dollar app I just saw in the app store? 10 bucks is a whole lot 
to pay for just a weather app. Is there a different one I'm not seeing?
