The command for send is command  shift D.  To help you remember it just 
remember the word deliver.  like deliver your mail.  

Hope this helps.

Re: turning off trackpad on macbooks

2011-08-20 Thread Red.Falcon
Hi!
The only thing I could find and I do not know if this will help you with your 
issue!
It seems if you have a mouse or external track pad you can turn off the built 
in track pad in universal prefs under mouse/track pad there is an option there 
to do it!
So plug in a old mouse [if you got one ] and then I suppose you can then turn 
off the trackpad!

cmd-f7 and other commands?

2011-08-20 Thread Alex Hall
Hi all,
I was looking at the pre-defined keyboard shortcuts yesterday and ran
across cmd-f7, which says it "changes the behavior of the tab key".
When I tried it, though, it just moved me between the toolbar and the
list of buttons in system settings. What, exactly, does this keystroke
do, and are there other keystrokes to move between parts of a window?
Are there any other (non-vo) keystrokes I should know about to make
getting around faster? Thanks.

Re: cmd-f7 and other commands?

You're right. It was ctrl-f7, not cmd, and it seems that there are a
few other ctrl-f# keystrokes for moving around and doing things.

a couple lion questions

2011-08-20 Thread Mike Arrigo
Hey everyone, a couple things about lion have me puzzled so thought I would 
ask. In safari, when pressing command l to open a page, if you press the dash 
key, has anyone noticed that voiceover says turn hiding on or turn hiding off? 
What exactly does this change, I've noticed you need to hold the dash key for a 
second to actually type the dash, any way to disable this behavior? The other 
question relates to booting from the recovery partition. Apparently there is a 
way to connect to wireless networks from here, but there seems to be no way to 
do this with voiceover. Pressing control option m a couple times does not 
access the status menus where the wifi setting is, also pressing control F8 or 
control function f8 does not work either.

pop and gmail?

2011-08-20 Thread Christopher Harrington
Hi everyone
I hope everyone's having a great weekend!! I was just wanting to see how to set 
up pop access with gmail on the mac? I've had it setup, but it hasn't gotten my 
email downloaded, and it wouldn't let me send.
Here's my issue. I have an iPhone that I use to check email when I'm away from 
the computer. I have gmail set up on the mac, however it is setup as imap. So, 
when I download messages on to my mac, they stay on my phone. 
I am sorry for such a basic question, I have had my MBP for about two days so 
please bear with me. I have used voice over before, so I'm relatively 
sufficient, however I am still learning the OS.
Thank you all so much,
Chris Harrington

ClickToPlugin Settings with Audible Samples?

I was under the impression that Click-to-flash had to be used in conjunction

ClickToFlash. I still can't get the audible samples to work. How do I get the 
little accessible players back?

Blackboard

2011-08-20 Thread ezzie bueno

Hello list,

I am taking some courses online that use Blackboard.  For these 
courses, I am required to post answers to the Discussion Board.  
When I click on the question and try to click the "Create Thread" 
link, Voiceover says "Menu Bar".  I see the Create Thread" link 
via the Web Item Rooter and the Item Chooser menu, but get the 
"menu bar" when I point my cursor to it.  I've tried interracting 
with the "menu bar", but it appears as text.  I cannot click on 
it.
What do you all do in these cases, beside asking for sighted 
assstiance?

8.  Stop interacting with content list  6 items content list
9.  VO right arrow until you hear HTML5 Default media player: pop up button
10.  VO right arrow until you hear Load media player automatically checked

11.  VO right arrow until you hear Start buffering Initial behavior: pop up

12.  Everything else in that tab should remain unchecked13 Close the click to

This should bring back the audio element controller toolbar item palette group

re: pop and gmail?

2011-08-20 Thread ezzie bueno

Hello, Chris,

Weird.  I have Gmail working with Imap settings as well.
If you do not want the same emails downloading to your phone and 
Mac, you'll need to log into gmailCom via the web interface.  
When you log in, clcck on "settings" then "forwarding And Pop".  
Scroll down to the POP and Imap settings and select "only 
download email that arrives from now on" on the combo box.


HTH,
Ezzie

Well, ctrl+F8 will get you to the status menus with your clock, wi-fi, etc. 
but I don't know about F7.

You're right. It was ctrl-f7, not cmd, and it seems that there are a
few other ctrl-f# keystrokes for moving around and doing things.

Hi all,
I was looking at the pre-defined keyboard shortcuts yesterday and ran
across cmd-f7, which says it "changes the behavior of the tab key".
When I tried it, though, it just moved me between the toolbar and the
list of buttons in system settings. What, exactly, does this keystroke
do, and are there other keystrokes to move between parts of a window?
Are there any other (non-vo) keystrokes I should know about to make
getting around faster? Thanks.

Re: charger Compadibility

2011-08-20 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi all,

They will all work with each other although, electrically, there are some 
things you should note:

1.  If a unit is expecting a 45 watt power supply and you give it an 85 watt 
power supply, you may decrease the life of both the battery and the charging 
unit.  consider that you're pushing almost twice the wattage into the charging 
unit as it is rated for.  In some cases this will burn the unit out faster, and 
in some cases, it will simply burn it out immediately.  Also, consider that 
heat is one of the most damaging factors in battery life, if an increased 
amount of power is being pushed onto the battery, it will heat up more, thus, 
the battery will get hotter during charging probably reducing its life.

2.  The other direction, charging with a 45 watt when expecting an 85 watt 
power supply, does not hurt anything really.  It will simply make the charging 
process take longer.

3.  You may get away with things for a while, but I recommend that you use the 
proper rated power supply, especially if you have any warranty left on the 
machine.

I highly agree.  It's never that great of an idea, in my opinion to 
mix-match chargers, that's only asking for trouble in the long run.


Now, if you have to products same make same model same everything, then, 
that's a different story, but...

Considering a Mac, what are the positives and negatives?

2011-08-20 Thread Kirsten Edmondson
Hi, 
I am seriously considering the move from a Windows (7) machine onto a Mac. I
have an IPhone so I know how VO works. I visited an Apple retailer today and
know that the Mac Book Pro is probably the one I want (the tracker pad was a
new concept but I like the idea) . I have been on the Apple site but am
overwhelmed with information and there are so many links to click on that I
would be there for days I think! 
I use my computer all the time for work, particularly the office
applications, I have never got these to work on my IPhone so I assumed they
wouldn't work on a Mac either: However I see in the Apple store that you can
by Office products as a bundle when buying the Mac. Obviously I have to get
over the price, (though I worked out that a Mac will cost me the same as my
laptop; office products; Jaws and Kerzweil upgrades cost me 18 months ago)
so actually it seems to make financial sense. I need to be able to do stuff
at home which I can transfer, either on memory stick or via email to my work
Windows laptop. 
Before I make this big move (I know it'll be so different from Windows and
that is kind of scary) please could I have some thoughts on: 
*The positives of the Mac over a Windows machine (if they can be compared
that is); 
*The negatives. 
*Whether I can really and successfully use it with Office products and to
transfer things to and from Windows computers for work? 
*Whether (If anyone knows) I can run Index embossers etc from a Mac as I
need to do this regularly and if I can run my existing embosser and printer
etc from one. 
*How easy it is to use the internet. 
*If it's possible to read PDF documents (something else I can't do on my
phone) and what happens to flash content (as that doesn't work on IOS4. 
*If I could use a scanner in conjunction with a Mac. 
*If they need repairing is it easy? 
*How anti-virus software might work? 
*If there's a basic user manual (I found one easily before I got an IPhone
but can't find one for a Mac Book on the Apple site) but think it might be
handy to read through. 

I'm sorry if these seem like big or stupid or simple questions, or if
they've been asked to you time and time again, but I really want to have all
the facts before I make this leap and I know as VI users you are the people
to ask. 
I would keep my windows Laptop but would like to be whole-hearted in this
move. 
If it's easier to send me information off list my email address is 
kirsten.edmond...@btinternet.com 
Or if it's easier to send me links to pages then please do. 
Thanks in advance for all your help and information. 

Kirsten

Is there some app that allows me see my Facebook updates without the website?

Re: Considering a Mac, what are the positives and negatives?

2011-08-20 Thread ShamelessFanGirl
Good evening,

Having made the switch myself a few months ago, I'll weigh in on some of your 
questions, and hope this assists you somewhat at least.

I too came to the Mac because of my iPhone experience. I had friends who were 
Mac users, and after playing with their machines here and there, using my 
iPhone nearly exclusively by way of a bluetooth keyboard, and spending 
extensive time at my local Apple store, I began prepping myself for the 
purchase.

I read, read, and read more, asked questions to the lists, and even delved into 
the podcasts available on sites such as blindcooltech.com but the real 
education came from jumping into the experience, and, well, getting to know the 
Mac.

Office products particularly those by Microsoft aren't accessible to us, so 
save your money. I use Pages, and Text edit nearly exclusively, but so far, not 
for anything extensively demanding. I.E documents which require a lot of 
formatting, tables etc. You can, however, run windows on your Mac, either via 
bootcamp, which provides you with a dual boot setup, or via a VM situation, 
thus allowing for both operating systems to run intandem.

Web navigation, particularly under Lion is fantastic, though I'd suggest giving 
your Mac as much ram as you can afford when configuring it. If you've used 
quicknav with a bluetooth keyboard on your iPhone, Safari on the Mac works 
similarly, with the addition of first letter navigation.

You can use iBooks under IOS to read pdfs btw.

That about covers it for me, though if you've any other questions, or simply 
want further thoughts, suggestions, ideas, feel free to contact me off list at 
this address.

Have a good evening, and happy decision-making. I love my Mac, this is a 
fantastic community, so you're in good hands as to assistance with this choice.

Re: control-f7 and other commands?

2011-08-20 Thread Red.Falcon
Hi all!
here is a list of commands!

1. control+f2 open main menu [ use the first letter of desired item IE: E for 
edit V for view]

2. control+f3 opens the doc

3. control+f4 moves focus to active or next window

4. control+f5 moves focus to the windows tool bar

5. control+f6 moves focus to floating window

6. control+f7 toggles between how tabbing interacts [ from text boxes and lists 
only to all controls ]
7. control+f8 opens the status bar!

As far as I can tell there is no other control+ f keys options!
If you have a spare few mins or are just curious go to keyboard under system 
prefs and select keyboard shortcuts and there is quite a lot of choices under 
different categories!
It looks like you can set options yourself and turn off ones you do not like!
My thanks to Esther for pointing me in the right direction!

 Hi all,
 I was looking at the pre-defined keyboard shortcuts yesterday and ran
 across cmd-f7, which says it "changes the behaviour of the tab key".
 When I tried it, though, it just moved me between the toolbar and the
 list of buttons in system settings. What, exactly, does this keystroke
 do, and are there other keystrokes to move between parts of a window?
 Are there any other (non-vo) keystrokes I should know about to make
 getting around faster? Thanks.

Voiceover stops for no reason

2011-08-20 Thread Kevin Gibbs
guys,
I'm having a real problem.  I'm using Snow Leopard and VO.  for some
reason, Voiceover will simply stop speaking for no reason at no
reliable time.  turning Voiceover off and back on doesn't do the
trick.  I have enough vision to see the caption panel, which I have
concealed until now.  I'm going to leave it on the screen so I can see
whether Voiceover is on or off the next time one of these failures
occurs.  The only solution seems to be to restart the computer.
that's not acceptable. All my software is up to date on Snow
Leopard.  I have not installed Lion.

Unfortunately, I did apparently install the latest versions of Safari
and iTunes which I didn't intend to do when I installed the latest
version of Snow Leopard.  I have no reason to think that did
anything.  I just don't have a clue.  I even called Apple Care and, of
course, the problem wouldn't happen while I was on the phone.

Any ideas?
Kevin

Re: Voiceover stops for no reason

Try turning VO off then on again four or five times.  Make sure you wait 3 or 4 
seconds between key presses.  It will usually come back on.

Later…

Using the "remote" ap on my iphone

2011-08-20 Thread Frank Ventura
I all, I have the "Remote" app installed on my IPhone from apple. I am
trying to use it to control my Mac mini's ITunes. When I tap on add
library it brings me to a screen that gives me a four digit passcode and
tells me to open ITunes on the Mac and find my IPhone in the sources. I
can find my IPhone in the sources but I cannot figure out where to put
in the passcode. Does anyone have any suggestions.
thanks

RE: pop and gmail?

2011-08-20 Thread Missy Hoppe
Hi! I think you might want to doublecheck the port number. I can't remember, 
but I think the default is 993 and it needs to
be 995, or perhaps it's the other way around. Either way, I know that pop3 and 
Gmail work great on the mac because I set up a
little Gmail address just for practice purposes. I still prefer to get email 
from my primary address on the PC for now.
Good luck, and I hope this helps!

Subject: Re: Radio tuner aps for the Mac

Hi Frank,

I've only played with the trial version of Radium, but if you are using
TrackPad Commander, you can navigate to the Radium icon in the Dock and
double tap on the TrackPad to bring up the menu.  You'll be in the
search field, and can type in the station you want, and flick to the
menu button and other controls to configure shortcuts and preferences.
However, I'm used to using keyboard shortcuts, and if you don't want to
use TrackPad Commander, once you launch Radium, you can just press
Command+comma to bring up the preferences menu, then navigate to the
"Controls" tab, and interact with the table of keyboard shortcuts,
checking the boxes for any that you want to activate.  Among these will
be a shortcut to start/stop Radium (Command+Shift+E by default).  Once
this is checked, and the preferences window is closed, using this
shortcut will take you to the search field in the Radium menu and allow
you to start a search for a station, or else access the other parts of
the menu (e.g. view the last selected station, resume playing, check it
to mark as a favorite, access the menu button for other options
including setting preferences, etc.)  The keyboard shortcut of
Command+Shift+E toggles open and closed the menu window that you would
normally get by clicking the Radium icon on the status menu bar. (If you
want to change this to a different keyboard shortcut, in the table on
the "Controls" pane in the "Preferences" menu where you checked the box
for the "Start/Stop Radium" option, use VO-Space on the column listing
the keyboard shortcut, then type in a new shortcut sequence.)

As far as I know there are no Tutorials. I find it helpful to Google for
a review when I want to learn about an app's features and capabilities.
You can use the Mail Archive search to find and read my earlier posts,
which give a bit more details on the menu layout and other preference
tab options, such as subscriptions. 

The Mail Archive page for this list is:
http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/

Type your search terms like:
Esther radium
to bring up links to relevant posts.  Since the Mail Archive supports
searching by author, a better search would be to use terms like:
from: Esther radium   
where there is a colon after "from"

This will get you the link to the first post:

tml

To read down the thread to my later posts, press Control+n  (for
"next").  To read the earlier posts in the thread, discussing Radioshift
and Piano Pub, press Control+p (for "previous"). User of different
browsers can substitute the appropriate access key (e.g., use "Alt"
instead of "Control" for Internet Explorer.)

You can read more about Mail Archive search syntax options and shortcut

Looking for an iso to disk burner

2011-08-20 Thread Paul Henrichsen
Hi. Is there a good ISO to disk burner which is accessible? I have seen two in 
the app store. 
One is $4.99 and the other $5.99. 
Thanks.

Re: charger Compatibility

2011-08-20 Thread Chris Blouch
If you try to run a 50watt device from a 25watt source the source power 
supply is going to either overheat or be current limited such that the 
device will get only 25watt of power. Apple supplies current limit. Just 
because your MacBookPro can draw 85w of power doesn't mean the 45w 
supply starts to overheat, it just gives it all it has and no more. So 
using a 45w or 60w power supply for an 85w machine might be enough to 
limp along on but not enough to charge your batteries at the same time.


The reverse case is also safe. Using a larger supply on a smaller mac 
shouldn't hurt anything. Just because your supply can crank out more 
amps doesn't mean the device will make use of it. Just like the power 
available from the power company has a lot more amps than you can 
(safely) use it doesn't mean your coffee pot will start to melt. Only if 
they started sending you the wrong voltage would things go awry.


The main problem with DC power supplies is getting the wrong voltage. If 
your device needed 6 volts and you plug in a 12 volt supply you may fry 
its innards. Doesn't matter what the current draw is. So in the case of 
swapping power supplies between models, all the voltages are the same. 
Apple has a FAQ on this topic here:


http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2346

and I recall a similar thread coming up elsewhere because the apple 
airplane adapter apparently could only produce enough power to operate 
the machine without charging the batteries. Apparently the airlines 
limited power on their jacks to the point where drawing any more would 
pop their circuit breakers. I guess it was designed with iPods, not 
laptops in mind.

I highly agree.  It's never that great of an idea, in my opinion to 
mix-match chargers, that's only asking for trouble in the long run.


Now, if you have to products same make same model same everything, 
then, that's a different story, but...

Hi all,

They will all work with each other although, electrically, there are 
some things you should note:


1.  If a unit is expecting a 45 watt power supply and you give it an 
85 watt power supply, you may decrease the life of both the battery 
and the charging unit.  consider that you're pushing almost twice the 
wattage into the charging unit as it is rated for.  In some cases this 
will burn the unit out faster, and in some cases, it will simply burn 
it out immediately.  Also, consider that heat is one of the most 
damaging factors in battery life, if an increased amount of power is 
being pushed onto the battery, it will heat up more, thus, the battery 
will get hotter during charging probably reducing its life.


2.  The other direction, charging with a 45 watt when expecting an 85 
watt power supply, does not hurt anything really.  It will simply make 
the charging process take longer.


3.  You may get away with things for a while, but I recommend that you 
use the proper rated power supply, especially if you have any warranty 
left on the machine.


Later…

While not quite the same setup my MacBook Pro charger works just fine 
in my wife's old little MacBook and vice versa. Main thing is that 
her power supply is not quite as big (physically and wattage) so it 
takes longer to charge up my laptop if I'm using her power supply. I 
would assume similar things with the Air and your MacBookPro where 
the Air uses a 45 watt power supply:

While the current MacBookPro has an 85w power supply

So I think whomever you passed the MacBookPro along to would 
appreciate getting the correct larger power supply.

If I do sell the macbook pro, if the chargers are compatible, I can 
package the macbook pro with the brand new charger. Knowing my 
luck, this won't work.  I just wanted to check and see if anyone 
knew for sure?

Re: Looking for an iso to disk burner

2011-08-20 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland
Why not just use the native Disk Utility?  It works perfectly for burning 
ISO's.  If you really insist though on a 3rd party app, try Simplyburns. 
It's totally free, and 100 percent accessible.
