Games for the MacDesktop?

[Teresa Cochran]

Hello, all,

One thing I do miss on Windows is the availability of games with rich audio 
settings in first-person shooting and arcade games. I've even played an 
auto-racing game or two in Windows, and I still think Terraformers is one of 
the most rewarding games out there, for one example.

Are there any such games for the Mac desktop computer? I do appreciate the 
number of games I can play on my IPod, but there are times I would really like 
to have a little diversion on my Mac Mini as well. I do have the RSG client, 
and I have Terrestrial Invaders, which, for me, is a bit on the simple side. 
Anyone know of any more challenging arcade games?

Thanks,
Teresa

Okay, what happened? VoiceOVer and the new mail

[Jes Smith]

Okay, list. This is really getting on my nerve.
Before I hop on my soapbox, I want y'all to know that I did find the classic 
view, and checked that at one point. But whatever happened to the ability to 
interact with the messages table and just look at one particular thing, such as 
subject? In other words, I liked the fact that in Snow Leopard, I could 
interact with the table, v o right to the subject field, then use my plain up 
and down arrows and only hear the subject read, and nothing else. Now, with 
this new view, I'm getting a bunch of stuff that I don't really care about. IS 
there eany way to view a particular field in the new view, and avoid extraneous 
speech?
Thanks.
Jes

Re: scrivner

[Scott Howell]

I hope that perhaps the dev will look at making the iOS version accessible as 
well. I gather it is not currently very accessible, but maybe my information is 
incorrect.

need assistance

[May McDonald]

Good morning everyone. I'm trying to select my books for the school year online 
but the problem I'm having is that anytime I go to select my books it's 
selecting everything. Is there a way to get around this so that I can go 
through the list without it selecting each book I pass?

Resizing BootCamp Partition.

[Georges Zaynoun]

Hi!

I wonder if it is possible after windows install to resize the bootcamp 
partition to be either smaller or larger, I know this should affect the 
macintosh hd partition consequently as well but this is what I am 
thinking of at the time, resizing after installation is done, thanks.

favorites bar in lion mail

[Paul Erkens]

Hi listers,

In the favorites bar that Teresa wrote about in Lion mail, there are checkboxes 
in front of the mailboxes I see there. What do these do? Also, am I correct in 
assuming that the favorites bar is there, so that one can switch mailboxes, 
even though the list of mailboxes is not opened?

Re: favorites bar in lion mail

[Bryan Jones]

Hello Paul,

Whichever mailbox is reported as "checked" is the mailbox you will find when 
you navigate to your message list. I believe the checkboxes on Mail's Favorites 
bar would actually be better described as radio buttons because you can only 
have one selected at a time. You'll notice if you navigate between the items on 
the favorites bar, pressing VO+spacebar on one item will "uncheck" whichever 
other item was previously "checked.".

Regarding your second question: Yes, one of the functions of the favorites bar 
is to allow access to mailboxes if the mailbox list is closed. In addition, it 
also provides a nice set of shortcuts to selected mailboxes via the 
Command+1,2,3,etc keystrokes. The favorites bar can be used whether the mailbox 
list is opened or closed.

HTH,
Bryan

lion mail: draft

[Paul Erkens]

Hi list,
While attempting to work with Lion mail efficiently throughout the past week, I 
still have a few questions about lion mail.
Question 1. Once you start typing a new message and then close it with command 
plus w, and then telling mail to save it as a draft, the message does indeed 
appear in the drafts folder. However, I'm doing something wrong while 
attempting to continue the draft. Here's what I'm doing.
a. I Go to the drafts mailbox by selecting it in the mailboxes list.
b. I then Interact with the message collumn and then with the message table 
inside the column. This puts me in the message list that I can arrow past. I'm 
arrowing through my drafts.
c. Once the draft that I want to continue working on is found, I tab over to 
the message content pain.
d. Here, I v o right, from the header group to the message text.
e. I then Turn off quicknav, find the bottom of the text and continue typing.

Now, each letter I press, causes the mac boom to sound. What am I missing here? 
I'd like to continue typing, but that won't work. Any ideas how to handle this?

Paul.

Re: Okay, what happened? VoiceOVer and the new mail

[Mary Otten]

Hi thought the classic view was still suppose to let you do exactly what you 
want, i.e. view just one column such as subject as you arrow through your list. 
When I raised that question some days back, the response was that classic view 
will let you do that. Is it possible you have thread viewing turned on and that 
makes a difference?

Re: favorites bar in lion mail

[Paul Erkens]

Hi Brian and list,

I managed to drag my private inbox to the favorites bar, so that it is easily 
reachable. I learned how to do that on this list. It is very useful, given the 
command 1 etc options. But now, is it possible to remove an item present in the 
favorites bar? There is an aggregate inbox that I'd like to get rid of, and 
also the sent items item is of little use to me in the favorites bar. Here's 
what I tried so far.
1. Delete and fn delete, with the v o cursor on the mailbox to remove, in the 
favorites bar. . However, since mail cannot know where the voiceover cursor is, 
this won't do it.
2. I moved the mouse to the favorites bar and to the mailbox I wanted to 
remove. V o command f5 gets the mouse pointer over to where the v o cursor is. 
I checked the mouse position with v o f5. Then, I held down control and pressed 
down the bottom left corner of the trackpad. This won't remove the mailbox 
intended, from the favorites bar though. Option click won't either.
3. Having the mouse on the mailbox name I want to remove from the favorites 
bar, clicking the mouse and attempting a context menu with v o shift m, won't 
do the job either.

So, I think one should drag the mailbox off of the favorites bar to get rid of 
it there. Is that true? Where would a sighted person drop it on the screen? Can 
we get to an empty spot on the lion mail screen using voiceover? Interested to 
know.

Paul.

Need help setting up a trial of DVD Remaster

[Paul Henrichsen]

Hi, Guys. I want to play with a trial of DVD Remaster, but I have a question or 
two.
I see a DVD remaster app and a fairmount app along with a fair mount folder. 
What do I do with the fair mount stuff? do I copy both to the applications 
folder along with the DVD Remaster app?
I can't find any how to install info on their web site. Lots of faqs, but 
nothing on how to install.
I ran the fair mount app from the DVD remaster folder, but then couldn't figure 
out how to get out of it short of forcing a shutdown of the app.
The app looks very accessible. Just not sure how to set fair mount up.
Thanks.

Re: favorites bar in lion mail

[Teresa Cochran]

Hi, Paul,

The favorites bar contains shortcuts or "aliases" to the actual mailboxes. What 
you will want to do is use VO drag-and drop. Move the item from the favorites 
bar to the mailbox list with VO-comma and VO-period to drag and drop 
respectively.

HTH,
Teresa

Re: Getting to the top or bottom of a list

[Shen]

I wish Apple didn't remove the Jump command.
This might be more of a convenience than usability. But I would have preferred 
the Jump command. If you are on the sender column, using the jump command takes 
you to the top or bottom of the table without leaving that column.
Using VO-Shift-Home or End takes you to the first row and column, and the last 
row and column. This takes you away from the column you were in. A bit annoying 
since you now have to find your way back to the column you were working within.

tip: drag and drop with voiceover

[Paul Erkens]

For those of you who haven't come across it yet: drag and drop is now a whole 
lot easier than it used to be in sl. We used to do the mouse movement manually, 
but that is no longer necessary. Just put the vo cursor on the item to drag, a 
mailbox for example, press vo comma to mark the item for dragging, then move to 
the destination with the v o cursor, and press v o period to drop the item 
there. After pressing v o period, you will hear voiceover dragging the item. 
The sound stops when the drag is completed. Beautiful feature in lion.
Paul.

Re: cannoscan lide 600f and Mac ocr programs

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Mary,

Prizmo for the Mac is an application you can buy through the Mac Appstore. It 
handles both scanning and OCR, and it is more or less usable with VoiceOver, 
but way too complicated to be worth the effort for a VoiceOver user.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Getting to the top or bottom of a list

[Red.Falcon]

Hi there!
Does the jump command vo+shift+j no longer work in Lion?
And I've set up a keyboard shortcut for me!
All I have to press is right option and either 1 or 2 to go from bottom to top 
and vice versor!
You could set up either a trackpad or numpad version, which ever you prefer!

Re: Looking for an accessible DVD ripper

[Chris Blouch]

Sorry for the delay, had to find a DVD to try this with as it's been a 
while. Generally the buttons you need appear in the window after a DVD 
has been inserted and mounted. The first thing will be the name of the 
folder which is usually the name of the DVD. You can rename this to 
anything you want. Next will be a RIP button, followed by an unlabeled 
button which is eject. After that is the compress button which shows up 
twice, first as an unlabeled button and then again as a button called 
Compress. Both do the same thing. I haven't played with Compress.

Hi Chris,
I just downloaded and ran irip. Getting out of the registration dialog that you 
land in at first, is a matter of going into the window menu and clicking the 
main window to focus it. However, how did you work with the rest? The toolbar 
gives no buttons. It's just an empty control that you can interact with, but 
then one can't do anything there. The rest of the interface looks really simple 
and promising though. The rest of the screen is uncluttered and barely contains 
anything more than a progress indicator. How do you rip a dvd yourself with it? 
 Interested to hear.

going to do all kinds of fancy conversions or copy only selected parts, but it 
will get the DVD dumped to your hard drive and from there you have all kinds of 
options. Their site also says that using the Compress options makes a fiel

I found this post from Esther!
hth Colin

Have you tried going to Apple's software downloads site?  Assuming you are 
looking for laptop distributions, this would be:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#portablecomputers
Use the web item rotor shortcut VO-U and set the rotor (pressing Up and Left 
arrow keys) to Headings.  You'll find listings for both iTunes 10.4 and 10.3.1.

However, the process of downgrading requires you to also delete files from your 
system's /Library/Receipts folder and also the associated preference file 
(com.apple.iTunes.plist) in the Library/Preferences folder of your user 
account.If you have a Time Machine backup of your older iTunes library, 
it's probably simpler to restore iTunes that backup.  The reason that you need 
to make these additional file deletions is that your system's Software Updater 
checks your receipts to determine what version of each application you are 
running, what other dependencies that application version needs, and when you 
need a new download version.  If you "fix" things by hand in such a way as to 
invalidate the current system records of what you have installed, you could run 
into problems.  For example,  iTunes uses QuickTime to play and record music, 
but that dependency is not something you need to know about -- unless you break 
something in the system.  The reason you need to delete the 
.plist file is because the new version of iTunes may have settings for features 
that are not in the old preference file.

I have not tried rolling back any of my versions of iTunes, but if you want to 
try it, I will point you to an appletoolbox.com web page with instructions  for 
downgrading from iTunes 10.0.1 to 10.0 that outlines the likely steps you will 
need to take.  I'm going to assume that your iTunes downgrade is independent of 
any system update from Snow Leopard to Lion. Here's theappletoolbox.com web 
page link:


I'd be happier if I could find one specifically for downgrading from 10.4 to 
10.3.1, but I haven't read anything that covers that.  The old MacFixit site 
(before they sold it to CNet and the quality of content dropped) would probably 
have covered a topic like that.  But it has been two years since that site was 
available, and the current site does not cover this subject.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: scrivner

[Adie]

Hello

I too had an exchange of emails with the author. He said that the
version which was about to come out was probably going to be better, I
think it was.2. Haven't checked the site for couple of weeks to see if
it's up there yet, but you can reach it by googling Scrivener.

The author did say he had made a lot of the buttons, more accessible
after having had some input from a VO user, I think I can guess who
that was now:) but he would gladly work to improve it even more if I
had a go at the free trial and had any comments.

I must say he seems like a really decent bloke and very keen to help
in any way.

Regards

A

Re: tip: drag and drop with voiceover

I am really keen on drag and drop, but find it sometimes doesn't work
and it says something like "the item may be hidden," for no obvious
reason.

help with garage band...

[Cody]

Hi listers,

I'm hoping someone like Ricardo or maybe Mike Arigo might be able to skype me 
at some point and give me some one on one training with garage band. Ricardo 
has made some awesome tutorials, but I find I learn better by actually working 
with another person...

If I can provide more detail let me know and I will..

Re: tip: drag and drop with voiceover

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

I have seen that occasionally as well.  In those cases, you often can still use 
the VO-shift-cmd toggle for mouse down then mouse up and the drag will work as 
it should.

Later…

Re: help with garage band...

I too would be interested in learning all about it. Reading these manuals isn't 
really of big help to me. If anybody's interested in helping, feel free to add 
me to skype by adding denise9522. Just don't midn the period at the end of the 
name. everything else stays the same. Thanks in advance and you all take care 
and  god Bless!

Need headers on some pages but not others in same Pages document

[Kevin Gibbs]

the subject says it all.  My wife, who is sighted, is trying to create
a document in Pages that has headers on some of the pages but not
all.  The idea is that she will eventually want to put this entire
document into PDF.  Since we don't have Acrobat, creating multiple
documents in Pages, some with headers and some without for eventual
integration into a single PDF document is not an option.  Is it
possible to turn headers on and off for individual pages instead of
treating headers as an all or nothing global thing?  We have iWork
9.0.

thanks,
Kevin

Re: more than 1 library

[Ricardo Walker]

Hello,

Yes, you will have to setup another iTunes library.  Lol.  It shouldn't be too 
painful.  When you launch iTunes, hold down the option key.  You will be asked 
to choose or create an iTunes library.  Here you create one for yourself.  Once 
you've created this library, you and Kliph will need to hold down option while 
iTunes is opening to pick his/her library.

Re: cannoscan lide 600f and Mac ocr programs

[David Tanner]

Mary,

Frankly, I think for most blind users the best choice right now is probably 
Docu Scan Plus.  I have also used Eye-Pal, and there is too little that you 
can actually do with it considering the price.

The 600f is working, but the ocr programs don't seem to be nearly as 
flexible and feature rich as Omnipage for Windows. Specifically, it does not 
seem possible to select portions of the image that you want ocr done on. But 
that's not a voice over issue, so not for the list. It is surprising there 
isn't at least one full featured scanning program for the Mac.

Re: scrivner

[Jürgen Fleger]

Please don't confuse it with a normal text editor. Scrivener is much more 
complex. Pages or Textedit is fine to write simple textes like letters or maybe 
a Poem. But in Scrivener you are able to have a whole book project including 
research, your character sketch, scene sketch and so forth. And at the end you 
can export it in a novel format to send your work to publishing houses. Of 
course in a way you can do all this in Pages too. But in Scrivener it's much 
easier.

Regards
Jürgen

Re: Need headers on some pages but not others in same Pages document

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

I'll let Apple do the explaining for this one.  It will save typing.

• When in Pages, go up to the Help menu and choose Pages Help.
• Type Header into the Search field.
• Of the 13 items that will appear, click on the using Headers and Footers.
• She can read that and within that section, there is a link for Changing 
Headers within Sections.

She will be using the Inspector to do this but from everything that I've read, 
it should do what you're asking.

HTH.

Later…

What makes you say that? VueScan and ABBYY FineReader work seamlessly together 
once they are set up correctly. Also, DocuScan only handles English and there 
are many Blind Mac users who require other languages. I'm tired of the attitude 
that English is the only language that matters.

Vuescan and Lion

Hello Listers,

I've recently joined the list but I've been following its invaluable

I was wondering whether Vuescan is accessible with Voiceover under Lion?

Re: back to previous version of itunes

[Dan Roy]

Well, I am pushing my luck here, but, I have 3 backups of my system.

Unfortunately, with Lion, Apple doesn't let you delete the iTunes.app file.  
However, since I do have 3 backups, i decided to take a chance.

I booted up from 1 of my external backups and then deleted the iTunes.app file 
and the only other file I deleted was the library file called 
"iTunes Library.Itl 

yes, I am sure there are good reasons to delete the preference files as well, 
but, I wanted to see if I could get away without doing it.  

Next, I installed iTunes 10.3.1 and rebuilt the library.  So far, all appears 
to be well.

if there's a problem, I will be able to delete the library and preference files 
if necessary.

Wow, iTunes is back to working normally again.  I had forgotten just how much 
faster it was before.

So, if you have a clone or 2 of your existing setup, I urge you to give it a 
try.

Re: Resizing BootCamp Partition.

[Georges Zaynoun]

From where to get the winclone utility?
Is it possible to whipe the entire hard disk, make a windows unattended 
install on the mac then clone with winclone, reinstall lion on the 
entire hd deleting all what is windows, create a bootcamp partition in 
the size we want and finally use winclone to get windows back on that 
partition?


Why this very long and convoluted method?  Simply because I don't want 
sighted help and want to use bootcamp not fusion.

Hi,



I recently covered this in an article I wrote and also posted to the mac

Hi!



I wonder if it is possible after windows install to resize the bootcamp
partition to be either smaller or larger, I know this should affect the
macintosh hd partition consequently as well but this is what I am
thinking of at the time, resizing after installation is done, thanks.
