RE: PDF files

[Bejarano, Rafael P.]

I will give it a try, and thanks for replying to my e-mail.  No one else on 
this list has replied, so I'm assuming that I'm the only one who has 
encountered the problem thus far.

Cordially,
Rafael

Rafaeel,

I have not tried it myself as I haven't got a multi-column document to test it, 
and it is just a thought - but try highlighting the content of your document by 
pressing command+a and copying it to clipboard and then pasting into TextEdit.

Good luck.

Re: modifying attributes of a track in Amadeus

[Thomas Byskov Dalgaard]

Hi Chris!

As far as I know the only way to change the track is to hit the n as in Nancy. 
You get no feedback from Voiceover. But you can check the selected track by 
hiting shift and space bar. Then you'll only hear the track wihch is selected 
for editing.
Hope this helps.
Best regards
Thomas

Installing Drivers after installing via Bootcamp?

[James Malone]

Hi folks, yesterday I decided to install Windows on my Mac Mini. The 
installation itself went smoothly, but my screen will not display when i boot 
into Windows. I assume this has to do with my screen drivers. Anyway, that's 
not the issue. Seeing as I don't have a screen that a sighted person can read, 
how do I install the Windows drivers on to my Mac?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
James

Re: [Bulk] Re: modifying attributes of a track in Amadeus

[Ray Foret Jr]

The thing is this.  Once you have selected a track for editing, how then do you 
move through ony that track for editing?  Every time I try it, the curser moves 
through both tracks. I know that because I hear the scrubbing in both stereo 
channels rather than just the one or the other.

The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

Re: installed ram with no sited asistence!

Well, there is a panel on the bottom of your Imac, with three screw, once you 
undo those, it's pretty much smooth sailing, you pull the tabs, to take out the 
exigzisting ram, or if your just adding too it, find the empty slot and slide 
it on in.  You have to apply a little pressure, so it snaps in to place.  Screw 
the pannel back on, and your done.  If you email me off list I could send you 
the link of the youtube video that taught and gave me the confidence to do it.

Re: installed ram with no sited asistence!

Oh, the first thing you must do is turn off your Imac, unplug everything from 
it, and lay it face down on a soft surface.  Then do everything I said in the 
previous message.

How can one install bootcamp without sighted assistance? I haven't figured this

using adium

[Missy Hoppe]

Hello, all. This is my first post to the group. I've only had my macbook pro 
for about 6 weeks now, and freely admit that I
don't know much about it yet.
Over all, I can get it to do what I want most of the time, but I'm writing 
because I'm having a very frustrating problem. I'm
not very much into the social networking thing. I do, in fact, only use twitter 
on a regular basis on my PC.
Well, for several reasons that aren't particularly relevant, I need to try to 
use some other instant messengers, at least
short term. I don't want any of the windows live junk on my main pc, so decided 
that if I do any instant messaging at all,
I'll use the mac. It will be good practice and keep clutter off my main 
computer.
Well, I've installed the newest version of adium, and have hooked it up with 
msn, facebook, google chat and yahoo messenger.
All of my contacts are there, but I can't actually have conversations with them.
I was trying to test it with a friend just now, and she doesn't receive my 
messages, and I can't read her responses. At the
moment, I'm just really, really glad Adium was free, because unless I'm missing 
something, which is entirely possible, it
isn't VO-friendly at all. Still, I know a lot of folks, especialy on twitter 
swear by it, so clearly, I'm missing something.
Are there configuration options I need to change? The menus don't work very 
well, but I can try to figure them out if I know
what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide, and I hope that everyone 
is having a great day!
Missy

Re: using adium

[Thomas Byskov Dalgaard]

Hi!

I have used Facebook and Windows Live with Adium without any issues. Try the 
following when you notice that someone wrote a message to you:
1. Press vo-left arrow until VOiceover says: Unknown. Interact here, and press 
vo-fn-shift-right arrow to go to the last message in the log... Or what this 
command does is go to the bottom of the area in which you are at.

RE: using adium

[Missy Hoppe]

Hi! Thanks for this information. I believe I've tried this: interracting with 
the unknown area, but no text was revealed by
doing so. So, am I understanding correctly that conversations won't be read out 
automatically by voice-over?? Seems a bit
tedius. I remember the old days; we're talking 8-10 years ago, when MSN 
messenger was really popular. Most of the times, Jaws
just read messages as they were received, and using the software was almost 
pleasant; I was in a hogwarts RPG at the time, so
used messenger even though I didn't like it much. Then, the group disbanded, or 
I lost interest; can't remember which. I
started having trouble with messenger, especially once I upgraded to xp, and 
now that I have win 7 and that live stuff is the
only option, I just don't want to fool with it.
Sorry for the ramble, but I'm just trying to understand. it sounds like Adium 
isn't going to be quite as useable an
alternative as I had hoped. I'm hoping my need for such software is short term 
indeed.
If any of you want to add me on msn, you can do so using my email address: 
melis...@fuse.net.
I'm on yahoo messenger under mitmee_pie, and google talk under mitmee.pie.
Facebook is also my email address: melis...@fuse.net.
I suppose you could add me to skype too. I'm mitmee_pie there as well.
Of course, my ideal for correspondance is twitter, where I'm mitmee_pie, or 
just good, old-fashioned email.
But maybe if some of you techies add me on the other instant messengers, it can 
help me learn it and understand it a bit
better.

Hi! 

I have used Facebook and Windows Live with Adium without any issues. Try the 
following when you notice that someone wrote a
message to you:
1. Press vo-left arrow until VOiceover says: Unknown. Interact here, and press 
vo-fn-shift-right arrow to go to the last
message in the log... Or what this command does is go to the bottom of the area 
in which you are at.

Hello, all. This is my first post to the group. I've only had my macbook pro

Over all, I can get it to do what I want most of the time, but I'm writing 
because I'm having a very frustrating problem. I'm
not very much into the social networking thing. I do, in fact, only use twitter 
on a regular basis on my PC.
Well, for several reasons that aren't particularly relevant, I need to try to 
use some other instant messengers, at least
short term. I don't want any of the windows live junk on my main pc, so decided 
that if I do any instant messaging at all,
I'll use the mac. It will be good practice and keep clutter off my main

Well, I've installed the newest version of adium, and have hooked it up with 
msn, facebook, google chat and yahoo messenger.
All of my contacts are there, but I can't actually have conversations with them.
I was trying to test it with a friend just now, and she doesn't receive my 
messages, and I can't read her responses. At the
moment, I'm just really, really glad Adium was free, because unless I'm missing 
something, which is entirely possible, it
isn't VO-friendly at all. Still, I know a lot of folks, especialy on twitter

Are there configuration options I need to change? The menus don't work very

RE: using adium

[Missy Hoppe]

Hi! where in preferences is that an option: setting everything to speak? I've 
looked under events, and just got totally
confused. I couldn't find any preferences like that, and navigating the 
preferences window in adium is a lot tougher than it
seems to be in most other applications. I've got a lot of free time now, so 
will start looking for that option again.
Thanks!

RE: using adium

[Missy Hoppe]

thanks again. I've been playing in the events tab, but can't get anything to 
change, and assuming I can even find options,
speak is never one of them. Closest I can find is display a growl notification, 
but only the first few items seem to allow
interaction of any kind. Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? am about to 
fight with it a bit more to see if I can make
any progress, but events is where I've been looking, and if it's customizeable, 
I'm sure not seeing it.
Sorry for being so dense; I'm sure it will make sense eventually. Are there any 
good audio podcasts demonstrating how to do
this?

Re: using adium

[Shannon Dyer]

It is VO friendly, but is a little tricky.

When you see your list of contacts, press enter on the one you want to message. 
Type your message, and press enter again. Now, to read responses, move to the 
thing that VO has labeled unknown. Interact with it, and you'll see your 
messages and the responses. This is what you'll do with each contact you 
message.

Hope this was helpful.

Having trouble selecting text

[Shannon Dyer]

Hi, all.

I have a feeling I'm missing something really simple, because I'm guessing this 
really shouldn't be that hard.

I use command shift and the up or down arrows to select text, but it doesn't 
seem to work. If I'm in a list of files, and I want to select two or three of 
them, it somehow selects them all. If I'm on a website, it selects the first 
few lines, but then, VO stops speaking.

Any thoughts?

RE: using adium

[Missy Hoppe]

Hello there! I just wanted to let you know that I finally figured it out. I 
have all events set to play a sound and speak
aloud now. Some of them don't seem to have a sound by default, but I'm guessing 
I can try to edit that at a later date. For
now, everything should speak, at least in theory, and the most important events 
should have sounds as well. I still think
that Adium is a lot more complicated than it needs to be, but then again, I'm 
still so new to Mac, that maybe navigating it
will become second nature eventually.
Anyway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I really appreciate it a 
lot.
Missy

tedius. I remember the old days; we're talking 8-10 years ago, when MSN

just read messages as they were received, and using the software was almost

used messenger even though I didn't like it much. Then, the group disbanded, or

Sorry for the ramble, but I'm just trying to understand. it sounds like Adium

indeed.
If any of you want to add me on msn, you can do so using my email address:

I'm on yahoo messenger under mitmee_pie, and google talk under mitmee.pie.
Facebook is also my email address: melis...@fuse.net.
I suppose you could add me to skype too. I'm mitmee_pie there as well.
Of course, my ideal for correspondance is twitter, where I'm mitmee_pie, or 
just good, old-fashioned email.
But maybe if some of you techies add me on the other instant messengers, it can 
help me learn it and understand it a bit
better.

Hi! 

I have used Facebook and Windows Live with Adium without any issues. Try the 
following when you notice that someone wrote a
message to you:
1. Press vo-left arrow until VOiceover says: Unknown. Interact here, and press 
vo-fn-shift-right arrow to go to the last
message in the log... Or what this command does is go to the bottom of the area 
in which you are at.

Hi, Shannon,

Command-shift-up-and-down-arrows select to the beginning and end of text. If 
you want to select line by line, use shift-up-and-down-arrows instead. When 
selecting files in a list, turn off cursor tracking with shift-VO-f3, navigate 
to each file with VO-arrows, and use VO-command-space to select them. Turn on 
cursor tracking again, once you've copied the files.

Re: using adium

[Mark BurningHawk Baxter]

It's possible to configure Growl to read Adium's messages.  If you're hearing 
the little chiming alert sound that says messages from your various contacts 
are coming in, then it's working, but you're not telling VO to announce the 
right part of the screen.  There are a couple of things you can do to make it 
not so tedious, though I admit, it's often not quite as seamless as the old AOL 
IM client and such used to be:
 •1) In Adium's Preferences, under "events," you can configure growl to speak 
incoming messages, alerts, status changes, etc.  This is useful but ... 
abstract. :)  Find me on Skype or somehow if I may assist.

 •2) Once you've interacted with the "unknown," frame, which is where all the 
messages appear, you can press VO Shift F3 to turn off cursor tracking.  Now, 
provided you don't leave that window, simply pressing VO right-arrow once will 
make VO say the message you just got.  Not as bad as all that, considering that 
even with the older system, you had to shift-tab, up and down arrow, etc.

Again, find me if I can help.

Re: using adium

[Austin Seraphin]

Good timing. I had a weird Adium issue as well. At least I think I traced it to 
Adium. Once in a while VoiceOver would start saying "Row 1 expanded." Over and 
over again. It started driving me nuts. I quit Adium and the problem stopped. I 
guess row 1 refers to the contact list? Has anyone else wrestled with this 
issue and overcame it? I dig Adium but I have to fix that. It seems like it 
could use a few little accessibility tweaks, but I enjoyed it while it worked 
except for that.

Re: using adium

[Mark BurningHawk Baxter]

Yeah, row one expanded or Adium has new window happen here, too, but not 
repeatedly, unless someone is playing silly buggers on the messenger, in which 
case those people find themselves summarily blocked and taunted...  It doesn't 
really bother me, but I agree that Adium is a bit unwieldy, especially when it 
comes to configuring growl or reading messages or dealing with multiple 
conversations or sending stuff or video stuff...  *shrug*

Re: Update on mac running hot, from bad to worse!

[Jon Cohn]

I wonder if you are having issues with one of the preference files? I looked 
around on my Macintosh, and did not find anything in ~/Library/Preferences with 
"spell" in the name.  There is a "spell" directory within the library that has 
your private dictionary.  Perhaps if you move that directory temporarily to a 
safe place and then try to get the spell check to go hot.

Esther also recommended that perhaps you want to turn off Spell as you type 
option.  This would mean you would not get blips or other notifications as soon 
as you type a mis-spelled word, but does take that whole spelling check out of 
the keyboard input stream.

I hope all of the above makes sense.  

Best wishes,

Re: Installing Drivers after installing via Bootcamp?

[Jon Cohn]

The last step in installing bootcamp is to insert your Snow Leopard disk into 
the system while you are running windows.  This should ask you to install the 
boot camp drivers.

Did you do this?

Re: using adium

[Red.Falcon]

Hi there!
Just a couple of things!
Has the original poster set up facebook under Jabber!
If not you'll need to do that!
And after interacting with the unknown field and are at the bottom of the list 
of messages, and have turned off cursor tracking!
All you'll have to do is start typing after reading the last message and it 
will take you straight into the edit field!
And just press return to send it, and as before just use the right arrow to 
read your message you've just sent and then the reply!
Please let us know if you need instructions for facebook! :]

RE: using adium

yep. It took forever, but I think I've more or less got it set up correctly. 
the question is: will it still talk to me if I
happen to be in another window when a new event happens. For example, if I'm 
listening to pandora on pianopub, or working on
a document in text edit, will I still get notifications spoken?
Thanks!

Re: modifying attributes of a track in Amadeus

So let me be sure I understand you correctly.  You're saying shift+Space

then do I un! hide the tracks I've hidden when done?  Please can you try to

Hi Chris!

As far as I know the only way to change the track is to hit the n as in 
Nancy. You get no feedback from Voiceover. But you can check the selected 
track by hiting shift and space bar. Then you'll only hear the track wihch 
is selected for editing.

Hope this helps.

I don't mean to start the ram argument up again, but now that you've

if so, where abouts?

Well done on the installation; hardware can seem a bit scary but it's
actually great fun once you've done a few installations.

You can get a 30-day trial of VMWare Fusion from

You'll need to register before you can download it.

When you do, don't forget to get the serial number from the download page

question about apple mail

[Missy Hoppe]

Hello again, all! I'm wondering if it's possible to set up apple mail to use my 
Gmail address? I set one up so that I could
use google talk, and don't plan to use it for much, but if I could set up apple 
mail to use it, that would at least give me a
chance to learn the program a bit.
I don't want apple mail to use my primary email address just because I have all 
my archives and stuff set up on the main
system, so don't want the mac to get email that I need to file away. So, if 
it's possible to set it up for use with gmail,
that would be great!
Thank you very much for your time, and I hope that everyone is having an

Re: question about apple mail

[Naama Shang]

Yes, it is possible, and it even actually knows the g mail server, but it sets 
it up as IMap by default, so if you want pop3, you need to change it, and 
accept eh certificate.

RE: question about apple mail

[Missy Hoppe]

Thank you very much! That's good to know. I might try to change it to pop3 just 
because it's what I'm used to. I've never had
much luck with imap in the past.

Re: Bootcamp vs Fusion

What is the advantage of importing a Bootcamp partition into Vmware?  I guess

The advantage is that you can use the same installation either in Boot 
Camp mode or as a VM, instead of having two separate installs.  Then you 
can run it in whichever mode suits at the time.

It's also worth noting that, at least in our experience, even though you 
tell it to use POP3, it doesn't change the port number from 993 to 995. 
If this happens to you, it will just not work and won't be clear why.


To fix it, go to Mail Preferences, choose Accounts from the toolbar and 
select the Advanced Preferences tab.

Re: installed ram with no sited asistence!

Re: Questions about running Windows on a Mac

[M. Taylor]

Hi.

Your question asking if BootCamp or Fusion is the best for running Windows on a 
Mac has no definitive answer as the word "best" is subjective.

Both BootCamp and VM Ware Fusion will allow a blind or low-vision Mac user to 
run Windows effectively on a Mac.

I use them both and have always been happy with the results.

RE: question about apple mail

[Missy Hoppe]

Sadly, I have no clue. I had nothing to lose, so just recreated the account. I 
can see where that wouldn't be good, though,
if you already have established folders and lots of mail.
Speaking of which, how do I make new folders, one for saved messages, one for 
jokes, etc. Also, there's no outbox. Is that
normal? Does stuff just immediately go to sent items? I don't see a drafts 
folder either. Clearly, I still have tons to learn
about apple mail, which was why I thought it would be best to configure it with 
a non-essential email address.
Good luck switching to pop3. I know I have always liked it better than imap.

Oh wow! Garage band does allow you to edit midis? I couldn't get it to open a

Could you please explain what I'd have to do in

Re: 10.6.8 May Solve VO crashing problems!

[Chris Snyder]

Hi Ray,
Well, one of us will have to start at the previous version of the software, and 
install each thing one at a time and see where it begins to pop up. I think I 
pretty much narrowed it down to either the system sound plugin or the 
scheduling plugin. If I were to lay odds, I'd bet the system sound was the 
culprit, but they both got updates.

Re: Accessible MIDI Sequencing

[Mark BurningHawk Baxter]

I, too, am totally flummoxed by Garage Band, and I have the tutorials Ricardo 
and others did.  I'd love some insight into this, as I bought it and want to 
get a mic and keyboard and record both acoustic and electric media, with 
vocals, etc...

Re: Questions about running Windows on a Mac

Which method is easier for a blind user? I've heard that you need sighted 
assistance to setup Bootcamp.

Hi.

Your question asking if BootCamp or Fusion is the best for running Windows 
on a Mac has no definitive answer as the word "best" is subjective.


Both BootCamp and VM Ware Fusion will allow a blind or low-vision Mac user 
to run Windows effectively on a Mac.


I use them both and have always been happy with the results.

Hi there! Where could I find these garage band tutorials? Are they audio files? 
I learn best from audio demos. Would there be
a way to get them in dropbox or something?

 Hello folks,
 Actually, I have figured out the reason why VO randomly stops talking when 
 you're navigating and doing other important things. It has to do with 
 Audio Hijack. Let me preface this by saying that I have just updated to 
 10.6.8. I bought my new Macbook Pro at the end of March 2011. Until two 
 days ago, it, unlike my old Macbook, did not ever experience a VO crash 
 unrelated to some safari website thing. 
 I recently installed the latest update to Audio Hijack, and more 
 importantly, I believe, the System Sound Plugin and update. I began having 
 VO crashes just like my old Macbook almost immediately.  Now, I have to 
 figure out if I can stop it by using App Zapper to completely eradicate 
 the latest Audio Hijack from my system. When I first installed Audio 
 Hijack on this system, I had version 2.9.11 with no updates to its 
 plugins. Perhaps someone else might see what they encounter.
 
 Friendly,
 Chris

There is the  Rogue Amoeba Schedule Helper that is running all of the time. So 
it does not matter if you launch audio high jack pro or not.

Oh what a coinsidence, can you tell me what are the jacks from right to

By the way you say now you have 12GB, did you buy two 6GB modules or 
what?  I want to have the maximum I can get, thanks.

Re: 10.6.8 May Solve VO crashing problems!

[Zachary Kline]

Hi Ray,
The fact is that at least in my case I didn't experience any of these crashes 
until I'd installed Audio Hijack and its plugins.  That was a span of about 
three months from when I got my MBP.  Now, I've uninstalled both, and the 
crashes haven't happened yet.
Best,
Zack.

Re: 10.6.8 May Solve VO crashing problems!

[Dan]

Hello,
Let me add a little more to this discussion. I have never had Audio Hijack or 
any of it's needed utilities on any of my recent installations of OSX and I 
still have the crashing problems. I am running OS X 10.6.8.

Re: 10.6.8 May Solve VO crashing problems!

[Chris Snyder]

Ray,
The problem persists whether or not you launch it. It starts when you install 
it and update it and its plugins. It must be something to do with what it does 
to alter the system.
I have zapped it and restarted, and thus far I've not had a problem. (touch 
wood.)

Friendly,
Chris

Re: installed ram with no sited asistence!

I already had 4GB, and bought 8 more.  On most computers the headphone jack is 
first, then the microphone.  But This imac has a microphone built in to it, I 
use it on face time all the time while talking to my wife.  So there are 4 
USB's, 2 thunder bolts, and a fire wire I think.  Don't quote me on this one, 
went over them once with my wife when we first got it, and don't really 
remember.  This mid 2011 imac can hold up to 16GB, but like some say oon this 
list and others, if your not gaming or running a lot of vieo and audio editing, 
then any more than 8 wouldn't be necessary.

 Well, was really hesitant to try this, but after reading some community

 ahead and try doing it myself. It's probably the easiest thing I've ever

 12. After completing this task, booted it up, went to about this mac, and 
 it told me the model of the ram, and that it was 12Gb instead of the 4 it

 for the tutorials and forms I access, but who doesn't do that? Thanks for

CONVERTING PDF Documents To Text

[Ezzie Buenito]

Hello list,

How do I possibly go about converting PDF files into text? I 
don't see any options on the menu bar. I need those ASAP so that 
I can read them on my BN.


Thanks,

.flack on the Mac

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

Sounds like some kind a movie title huh.  Flack on da Mac.  LOL!  Anyway... 
no, seriously, heheheheh...  I have a whole discography here of an artist 
that a friend gave me.  It's about 25 discs all total.  Problem is, they're 
all .flack files.  the last I recall, ITunes wouldn't play these.  I know I 
could easily enough use VLC, or maybe even Cogg, but the whole idea was to 
get these into my ITunes and eventually on my IPod touch.  I would use 
Switch from NCH, but I can't afford it.  Is there not some free sollution? 
I got Amadeus Pro, but it's a real old version, only 1.1, as I can't afford 
the updates, and seeing I got about 25 albums to do?  Um? Unless there is a 
tach converter?  I'm not terribly sure I wanna do each file one? by one! 
God, that would be annoying!


Any suggestions?

Chris.

Re: [Bulk] import location and format?

[Ray Foret Jr]

That depends on how you have things set up.  By default, ITunes is set so that 
when you insert a music CD, (assuming of course that this is what you mean), 
the CD will rip in to your machine and the format will be in the .4ma which is 
a form of mp4 file format.  IF I'm not mistaken, you'll find the ripped files 
under the ITunes foler in the music section.  Could be wrong about that because 
I've fooled with it since then and changed this and that.

Re: Installing Drivers after installing via Bootcamp?

Yeah I did, but how would one be able to interact with that

for whatever reason, seeing as even the most basic screen opperations

Re: Questions about running Windows on a Mac

[M. Taylor]

Hi,

did not require sighted assistance; but I do enjoy some residual vision.

I am comfortable in saying that installing Windows via VM Ware Fusion can be 
done autonomously.
