Hi, all.

Anyone else had this experience? After I've deleted my messages, I have one or 
two left that I thought I'd deleted, and they won't go away. Odd

I have a very similar thing. The message count says there are messages, but I 
can'tsee them.
This is since upgrading to Lion.

Unpredictable Reporting of Checkbox State in Audio Hijack Timers

Hi, all,

Does anyone else notice this? It takes a few tries to get everything set up for 
a weekend day instead of every day or weekdays. The checkboxes are kind of 
unpredictable for me. VO will report one state, and when I go back to 
double-check them, the state seems to have changed. I'm using VO-spacebar. I 
wonder if I should just use spacebar?

Thanks,
Teresa

Re: Phantom Messages in Mail?

Restarting Mail works for me, too. Seems that Lion does resemble IOs more and 
more, as I often have the same problem there. :)

Re: more dashboard questions

2011-08-08 Thread Tim Kilburn

Hi Donna,

First, it will be F12, not F11, and depending on your keyboard settings you may 
or may not need to press the FN key as well.  I've found that the Dashboard 
reacts much slower than it did in SL so it usually opens within about 2 
seconds.  Some widgets, like the Weather widget are very accessible yet there 
are others like the Flight Status widget that still need some work.  You'll 
need to figure out which ones work for you and which ones are at all important 
to you as well.

Later…

Re: more dashboard questions

Hi tim,

for me, F12 opens the Dock.  But it's not the same dock that opens when I press 
VO-D.  when I press VO-D, I can open apps by pressing Enter, at least except 
for the dashboard..  when I use the F12 option, I don't seem to be able to open 
anything.  Any suggestions?
thanks,
Donna

more on Dashboard not showing

Hi all,

this gets even weirder.  I checked in system prefs, and sure enough, F12 is set 
to show the dashboard.  So, I tried it again, and this time, I interacted 
rather than arrowing right or left.  When I did, VO said "interacting with the 
title of null."  Anyone have any idea what could be going on?
TIA,

You can look up my previous summary of the issues with Flash and
accessibility but it boils down to no access for Mac and iOS machines
and limited access on Windows, only if pains are taken to make it
accessible. You also limit search engine discover since Flash is not
generally crawlable by Google and others. Today there isn't much that
you can do in Flash which can't be done in HTML so might as well go that
route. They might also want to look into Adobe Edge which is their new
tool for creating Flash like stuff in HTML

At present my company is gearing up to launch a

other special needs). We will also be offering weekend

That said, I have about two weeks to put a site together, soup to nuts,

I was seriously thinking about using Wix flash based sites for the

Re: more on Dashboard not showing

2011-08-08 Thread John Panarese

Hi Donna,
When you hit F12, try opening the window chooser menu with VO F2 twice.  
You might not have any widgets open.  You will probably need to access the 
widget menu and hit return on one you would like to explore.  At least, this is 
what I am assuming.  

Take Care

Re: more dashboard questions

2011-08-08 Thread Mark BurningHawk Baxter

I personally LO E the stuffing out of Dashboard.  Those widgets that are 
accessible are very useful, like weather or unit converter, etc., and you can 
get new ones and add them to the widget bar (VO F2 twice quickly, or navigate 
to the widget bar submenu).

You might also try F4 which, if you have your function keys set, as I do, to 
hardware functions first, is simpler than hitting FN F12 or whatever.  Let me 
know if I can help with Dashboard; a very useful little place.

thanks so much for the F4 tip.  I do have my function keys set to hardware

Re: looking for an sfv checker

Huh?  I think you're confused, smile.  SFV is just a small checksome file that 
makes sure a set of files is complete and in tact.  It doesn't split or join 
anything.

Re: more dashboard questions

2011-08-08 Thread Mark BurningHawk Baxter

Just to be clear:  If your function keys are set to hardware, then you'll have 
to hit VO FN F2 twice quickly to enter the dashboard menu.  I have not yet 
found a way to delete a widget from this approach, but you can always delete 
them from the widget folder.  The path for the widgets folder you want is
~/library/widgets

Please note for clarity that this is *NOT* the Library folder which is part of 
the home /users/(your user name) directory; it's the LIbrary folder that exists 
two levels up from that toward the root.  

Anyway, you can delete the widgets from that folder.

Re: Looking for an accessible DVD ripper

Ahh, Apple DVD player is starting up when you put in the DVD. This is 
normal. I turned that autolaunch stuff off in system preferences under 
CDs & DVDs. There is a option called "When you insert a video DVD" which 
has a pop up button of options next to it, and one of those options is 
"Ignore". Even so, if you quit Apple's DVD player, ripIt should then 
give you the options to start copying the disk. I'm not familiar with 
iRip though and have only tried ripit.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your response. When I insert a dvd into my machine with irip open,

On my machine, all that happens is that dvd player starts up. The irip window 
remains open, but even after closing the dvd player manually, it seems that 
irip doesn't see the disk in the drive. Do you have any idea if this is 
something I can correct?

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.

another change in Lion

Hi all,
I have another item that is not working like it did in SL. In SL when I would 
download a daisy talking book from NLS I would be switched to the download 
folder the first time I downloaded a davy talking book. Now in Lion I am not 
switched to the downloads folder. I have to manually go to the download folder 
to find out if the download has started. Is there a way to get the old action 
back?
Thank you for any help.

Re: looking for an sfv checker

Ahh, my impression was that it was used to validate pieces of a file 
which had been split before recombining. I guess it could be used for 
anything but that seemed to be the common use case. Could you use the 
more common md5 instead? In the terminal you can just type


md5 filename

to get the md5 checksum. You can also do the very popular sha1 checksum 
format from the terminal by typing


openssl sha1 filename

From poking around it seems SFV just uses CRC32 checksums which you can 
also generate in terminal.


crc32 filename

Hope this helps.

How to copy mp3s from iTunes to thumb drive?

2011-08-08 Thread Kevin Gibbs

I tried to search the group but no joy.  I have some mp3s in my iTunes
library which I need to copy to a thumb drive so I can bring them to
my wife's computer for her to attach them to e-mails she is sending.
I was able to copy one file by physically dragging and dropping it
with the limited vision I have.  Clearly, that's no way to live.  It
seems that while I can copy a file in iTunes, I can't paste it when
i've command tabbed to the appropriate finder window for the thumb
drive.  Paste is grayed out in that finder window.  I doubt drag and
drop in Snow Leopard will work.  What can I do?
thanks,
Kevin

Re: How to copy mp3s from iTunes to thumb drive?

Hi, Kevin,

Do you know which folder your mp3 files are in? I would open a finder window 
with this folder displayed, hit command-c to copy, hit command-n for a new 
finder window, find the thumb drive, and paste it in, circumventing ITunes 
altogether. You could find out where the actual mp3 files are through Spotlight 
or searching on your computer.

HTH,

Re: How to copy mp3s from iTunes to thumb drive?

Hi,

When you have found the song you want in iTunes, press command shift R.  This 
will open up the finder and land you directly on the music file.  From here, 
all you need to do is press command C to copy then, navigate to your thumb 
drive.

download a daisy talking book from NLS I would be switched to the download 
folder the first time I downloaded a davy talking book. Now in Lion I am not 
switched to the downloads folder. I have to manually go to the download folder 
to find out if the download has started. Is there a way to get the old action 
back?
Thank you for any help.

Re: How to copy mp3s from iTunes to thumb drive?

2011-08-08 Thread Cody

it hould be said you can copy the file to a thumb drive, but it will be an 
m4a, not an mp3 unless you've got the originalI'm pretty sure this is 
how it works...

Hi,

When you have found the song you want in iTunes, press command shift R. 
This will open up the finder and land you directly on the music file. 
From here, all you need to do is press command C to copy then, navigate to 
your thumb drive.

Re: How to copy mp3s from iTunes to thumb drive?

No.

If you copied and mp3 file into iTunes, it won't change the format.  The same 
goes for AIFF, WAV, etc.

Lion bad Nvidia drivers

Just stumbled upon this article which notes bugs in the video card 
driver in OSX 10.7 which can cause some machines to have issues waking 
from sleep and other odd behavior. I wonder if this is the cause of some 
of the hard to reproduce and/or random VO issues folks have been running 
into. Apparently this affects 2010 MacBook Pros running Core i5 and i7 
processors and some iMacs. They also note a way to force your machine to 
always use the non-Nvidia graphics.

Dashboard quessssstions

2011-08-08 Thread Graham Roby

Hi, 

Can someone tell me  how to use Dashhboard? 

I clicked  on it in the doc it opened with  a wooshing type sound butafter 
that I couldn'tfind anything in there. 

All vo  could report  was image files to do with my wifi printer. There was no 
menu  bar as in other apps that might have given me help.  

Do you have to find and download wigits first before using DB? 
Any advice would be gratefully received. 

Kind regards

Graham

Hi Graham,

this threw me, too.  Once you've heard the whooshing sound, Press VO-F2 twice. 
You'll then be able to arrow to the widgets menu, and press Enter to open the 
widget you want.
Cheers,
Donna

Item Chooser in Safari, Lion OSx

2011-08-08 Thread Neil Barnfather - TalkNav

Hi Folks,

Hoping someone can verify my observations with Safari within Lion and the Item 
Chooser.

I have noted that the Item Chooser, when exclusively used within Safari, seems 
to for an inexplicable reason not pick up all items in the window, even though 
the same site in Snow Leopard it does.

Originally I wondered if it was an issue related to content that physically was 
being, or was not being, displayed on the screen, yet I have had sighted people 
now watch the screen, and despite the link / button being physically visible on 
the screen, the Item Chooser still fails to list it.

an example would be:

www.ukbusiness.hsbc.com

there is a logon button at the top right, what is interesting here is that Snow 
Leopard Voice Over picks it up in the Item Chooser, not only this, but it 
correctly lists it as logon, yet Lion not only fails to register its existence, 
but also when I manually navigate to the button using Quick Nav or the 
traditional VO arrows, the button is announced as L O G on. Now Lion's Voice 
Over is correct here, the button is written out as LOG in caps and on in lower 
case, so the pronunciation appears correct, even though SL never bothered with 
this distinction, yet, Lion's Item Chooser cannot even recognise the button.

I've noted this behaviour all over the shop, not just with this site but with 
hundreds of web-sites...

What is interesting is that it appears to be localised within Safari, as all my 
other applications seem to work perfectly with the Item Chooser finding every 
button, link, bit of text etc anywhere else.

Has anyone else seen this and do we have a solution yet?

many thanks.

Neil Barnfather

Re: double reading of linked text in safari reader

2011-08-08 Thread Mary Otten

Hi all,
I used the following link
http://www.macworld.com/article/161585/2011/08/four_changes_id_like_to_see_with_the_apple_tv.html#lsrc.nl_mwnws_h_crawl

to carry out a test with the reader and the double reading of text, versus what 
would happen if I entered the reader and then started to read with vo A. In the 
instance where the reader opened and article started automatically reading, I 
got the double text previously described in other messages, once as plain text, 
the second time with the word "link" preceding the linked text. If, however, I 
opened the reader and then stopped the reading but did not exit the reader and 
resumed reading with vo A, the text read as normal with no doubles, just the 
straight reading of text with "link" announced prior to any text links. I hope 
that makes sense.

Trackpad

2011-08-08 Thread Brandon Olivares

Hi,

For some reason, my trackpad is acting really weird. I am not touching it, yet 
it is acting like I am. It makes the computer either ding, mute voiceover, 
change rotor settings, etc, without me touching it. I've restarted twice now, 
but still it is happening, and it is a challenge even to type this message. Why 
would it be doing this?

This is pretty urgent, so please let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Brandon

I can confirm this issue no longer happens with Lion.

I used to experience the same problems whilst reading UK online newspapers. 

Am pleased to say that annoying issue is now history.

Re: web sites using flash

At this time, flash is not accessible on the mac, and Adobe seems to have no

standard and is accessible. Hopefully this will totally replace flash 
eventually.

Re: double reading of linked text in safari reader

2011-08-08 Thread Mary Otten

When it finds an article, the reader is a big time saver over moving by header 
and finding the start of an article, especially when you get articles that have 
a bit of text and then a bunch of junk followed by the full article. One key 
combo and the reader opens and reading commences. Very nice.

question about Scan Soft voices

2011-08-08 Thread carlene knight

Hi:

I just got a new computer and though everything was backed up, I seem to have 
lost my ScanSoft voices and can't find them, even in the system access speech 
menu.  I still have the Apple voices, even the ones I downloaded, but those 
neat ScanSoft voices are now history.  Is there any way that I can get them 
back without complication, as I'm not a computer whiz?  Thanks.

Re: Copying files frone one drive to another.

2011-08-08 Thread Kevin Gibbs

Guys, I'm really, really sorry.  But, no matter how I try, I can't get
the command, option v to move files anywhere.  I tried typing command
C and VO said Copy.  but Command, Option V in the destination location
only gave me a plink sound that we all know as a failure.  What could
I possibly be doing wrong?  I'm ripping my hair out and I don't have
any to spare.

Extremely frustrated with Navigon not transferring to IPhone

2011-08-08 Thread Jes Smith

Hi all,

I purchased Navigon today, and though it transferred to ITunes fine, it will 
not transfer to my IPhone 3GS, no matter how many times I try and sync with it. 
IF it starts to transfer, all I get from the IPhone is, Navigon, 2 percent.
What is going on here? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using Lion or Snow Leopard?  The cmd-option-v is only available in Lion.

My apologies

2011-08-08 Thread carlene knight

The only thing I have complained to customer service about is a problem I was 
having with ITunes, and I politely let them know that I didn't like the way 
that VO navigates the screen; everything is out of place and less convenient, 
The layout looks the same to a sighted user, but not to Vo.  plus I was having 
sluggishness.  The latter was because I didn't have enough memory, and my poor 
computer couldn't handle the music browser.  Yes, I don't always handle change 
well, but I can assure you that I haven't complained about anything else to CS 
though I have times when VO won't wake up with my computer and it is hard to 
start it, both with my old Mini with 2 gigs, and my brand new one with 5 gigs 
of Ram.   I'll live with it, no problem.  Sorry if I complain too much, I 
simply replied to a bad thread, and I know that there are some of those.  I'll 
shut up now.  Alex is the best voice ever, and I love my Mac.

Re: Extremely frustrated with Navigon not transferring to IPhone

IT made the try tone sound, so it apparently took only about five seconds or 
so. It simply is not transferring even a byte to the phone.

Misspelled Announcements

Ok, I like having vo tell me I misspelled something when I am typing.  However, 
I am annoyed about it doing so when reading mail.  If I turn off the 
misspelling indication from the VO utility menu, then, it won't work when I am 
typing.  Also, if I do a spell check, it won't read properly either.  I have 
already tried turning off automatic correction from the system preferences 
under language, and, it's still doing it.  Does anyone have any ideas?

I am, of course, using Lion.

Re: double reading of linked text in safari reader

that read beautifully for me using the latest build of webkit and Lion!  
However, I have experienced that on some other articles.  Honestly though, I 
can't remember if it was Lion or SL.

Re: double reading of linked text in safari reader

Again, I didn't get any double links when using the reader. I read the article

Ok, sounds like this item is fixed in Lion. Excellent. Dan, I'm not sure what 
you meant in your comment that it is time to consider the Apple tv. What would 
the Apple tv have to do with reading an article on the web usiig a Mac?
