Re: Blackboard

2011-08-22 Thread Justin Ekis
Hello,

I'm sorry for not replying to this sooner. I didn't have this problem last 
semester, and only just ran into it tonight. After checking that the college 
had not upgraded to a new version of blackboard, I figured that this must be 
something that has changed with safari 5.1. So I tried an alternative web 
browser called omniweb. Sure enough, I can activate the link to create a thread 
just fine with that. I'll email apple accessibility about this, as I didn't 
have this issue before upgrading safari. Anyway, you can download omniweb at 
the following link.

I hope this helps.

Justin

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?

Hi everyone! I believe by the end of this week, or the start of next week i'll

 The following was just posted to the Candle Shore BLOG:
  
 How To View Only Upcoming or Active Appointments In Mac OS X Lion’s 
 Calendar Application
  
 Hello Everyone, 
  
 One of my favorite features in Microsoft Outlook is the ability to view 
 only upcoming (active) appointments in the calendar. 
  
 Apparently, Apple does not think I need this feature in the latest version 
 of iCal.  (grimace)
  
 While there are certainly some very fine third-party applications that 
 will allow me to see only upcoming appointments, I am of the opinion that 
 less is better; therefore, I resist installing such applications unless 
 absolutely necessary.  Besides, there is no guaranty that said third-party 
 applications, for which I may have to pay a premium, will be VoiceOver 
 (Apple’s software screen reading solution for the blind and low vision) 
 accessible.
  
 Enter the Mac OS X Lion Dashboard of which I am growing quite fond, and 
 all its marvelous, and for the most part free, widgets.
  
 It is with such a widget that we can view only upcoming or active 
 appointments.
  
 Oh, keep in mind that iCal refers to appointments as events. 
  
 Let’s get started.
  
 1.
 Download and install a free Mac OS Dashboard widget called iCal Events.  
 Its description is as follows: 
 iCal Events... Face the day! Always know what's next on your schedule 
 using iCal Events. iCal Events displays upcoming events from multiple iCal 
 calendars in a beautiful, resizable widget for Dashboard. You can see up 
 to two weeks of upcoming events in the same widget without needing to open 
 iCal.
  
 2.
 After installing the widget, I suggest that you close the web browser used 
 to download the widget.
  
 3.
 Now go to the Dashboard and see the widget in action.  I suggest using the 
 key combination [Option+LeftArrow] to quickly jump to the Dashboard.  
 Please note that you can change the number of days shown in the widget by 
 clicking on the Info button.
  
 Enjoy,
  
 Mark

From: "Justin Ekis" I'm sorry for not replying to this sooner.  I didn't have this 
problem last semester, and only just ran into it tonight.  After 
checking that the college had not upgraded to a new version of 
blackboard, I figured that this must be something that has 
changed with safari 5.1.  So I tried an alternative web browser 
called omniweb.  Sure enough, I can activate the link to create a 
thread just fine with that.  I'll email apple accessibility about 
this, as I didn't have this issue before upgrading safari.

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

Re: Clic flash

2011-08-22 Thread Chris Blouch
As posted previously, Adobe has chosen to not make Flash accessible on 
the Mac. It is only possible on Windows and even then the likelihood of 
it being accessible is not very great. Here are some of my previous 
posts on the topic:

Re: OpenOffice?

2011-08-22 Thread Chris Blouch
While I only played with it a bit in the word processor I found table 
navigation was difficult because it wouldn't announce what row or column 
I was in or at least what heading I was under. Lots of the other stuff 
worked decently. It's free so why not just download it and give it a whirl?

2011-08-22 Thread Cara Quinn
James and list;

one liners like the below only contribute to the noise here. So please don't 
disrupt the group with them.

The original post was inappropriate but your response, James, is just as much.

Let the list mods take care of this sort of thing and we'll do it behind the 
scenes. I've already banned the poster in question so just let this one lie, K?

Let's move on and in future, to everyone here, if you see a post that seems 
suspicious, you don't need to post about it. If you really need to say 
something to someone, then write the list moderators. and we'll deal with it 
off the list.

If you'd like to reach me personally, please feel free to write to 
caraqu...@caraquinn.com or modelc...@gmail.com

Have a great day and let's keep the great discussion flowing!!!

Hi James and David, 

All Apple drivers are installed correctly. 
I even have an Apple Update set up in Win7 just incase there are updates for 
Quicktime, Airport or Bootcamp. 

Many thanks for your help though this has certainly got me puzzled.

Re: Need Recommendation: Office,, Calendar, and Virtual Machine

I don't know of a podcast myself but since OpenOffice is free you could 
just download it and try it out. Worst case is it ends up in the trash.

Hi Chris,

thanks so muchfor the detail explanation.
After listening to three episodes of VoiceOverOn podcast on iWorks, I 
think using MS office on VMware Windows with Jaws seems to be the best 
way until more stable iWorks come out. I can see myself using Pages, 
but, it seems I need to figure out tons of workaround for Keynote and

using MS Office on Windows.
In archive, I found people talking about Open Office. Is there any

OpenOffice or iWorks are pretty much the main alternatives but are

While I don't use it, many people seem to like the iCal app that

make a usb boot drive

2011-08-22 Thread louie
Hi all,
Has anyone been able to create a usb boot drive using the below instructions?
Subject: Build your own Lion install USB thumb drive for cheap
Date: August 11, 2011 12:00:00 PM PDT

Build your own Lion install USB thumb drive for cheap
 
Why pay Apple $69.99 when you can build your own Lion install drive for the App 
Store purchase price of $29.99 -- plus the cost of an inexpensive thumb drive. 
Here's how to create a full install on a drive, not just the recovery disk that 
we recently posted about.
You'll need a copy of the OS X Lion installer. If you saved a copy when you 
first installed Lion, great. If not, you'll need to re-download it from the Mac 
App Store.
To do so, launch the App Store and option-click the Purchases tab. An "Install" 
button should appear next to Lion. Click it to re-download the installer. You 
can use this option-click-Purchases trick to re-download any purchase, not just 
Lion.
 
Once the 3.74-GB installer finishes downloading, go to your Applications folder 
to find the installer itself. It is called Install Mac OS X Lion. Right-click 
(or Control-click) the installer and choose Show Package Contents from the 
contextual pop-up. A new Finder browser window opens, showing the normally 
hidden material inside the installer bundle.
 
Navigate to Contents > SharedSupport. There you'll find a disk image called 
InstallESD.dmg.
 
Open a new Finder window with Command-N (File > New Finder Window). Navigate to 
/Applications/Utilities and launch DiskUtility.
Attach a thumb drive to your Mac that is at least 4GB 8GB in size. (Update: 
some readers say 4GB isn't enough. As you can see, I used a 16GB drive) Prepare 
it for use by creating a single HFS+ partition. Select the drive (e.g. SanDisk 
Ultra) in the left hand column. Drives are listed first with their partitions 
listed after them, each partition indented slightly.
 
With this drive selected, click the Partition tab and choose Partition Layout > 
1 Partition. Choose Format > Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
 
Click the Options button at the bottom-right of the partition layout. Select 
GUID Partition Table.
 
Click Apply. Disk Utility asks you to confirm. Click Partition. Wait as it 
unmounts, partitions, and remounts your disk.
Next, select the new partition (Untitled 1 by default). Click the Restore tab.
 
Click Install next to the source field. Drag InstallESD.dmg into the file-open 
window and click Open. Drag Untitled 1 from the left column to the destination 
field. Click Restore and agree to Erase the drive and replace it with the 
contents of InstallESD.dmg. You may have to authenticate as an administrator.
 
Wait. It will take some time for the drive to be written. Once it's done, eject 
it, label it clearly, and put it away for a rainy day.
Meanwhile, go out and spend the $40 you just saved wisely.

Lion DVD ore USB?

2011-08-22 Thread Hayri Tulumcu
Hello folks. I have some questions about Lion.
1st If I buy Lion on a USB key, should i be connected to the Internet when the 
install because it says download extra components?
2nd Will it do so if I buy it on
a USB key?
3rd The DVD, which you download from the AppStore, is 3.82GB, it is also by 
chance, if you have it as a USB key, i meen, do you get the entire OS X drive 
where you can also say custumise during
installation?

Direct links for downloading Voices

2011-08-22 Thread Sunshine
At last, last Friday I managed to upgrade to Lion via the App Store
and wished I had done so earlier coz I am loving every moment of the
new experience.

However, I seem to have a problem with my network connections here. So
I want to download more voices as I liked the sounds of many of them.
Is there a direct link I can use to download using a download manager?
The problem is that with Software Update utility, I often run into
network breaks. In fact, when downloading Lion, I had to take
advantage of a trip to some centre where there was wireless network in
abundance. So hey if anyone knows how to get a direct link to this,
help me.

Tia,
Sunshine

I did not just want to play with it because I am still very new (not

solutions or when something just could not be done.

iTunes 10.4.1 is out

2011-08-22 Thread Darcy Burnard
Apple has just released iTunes 10.4.1.  A lot of the problems with iTunes in 
Lion seem to have been fixed with this update.  It feels much more responsive, 
first letter navigation is back, and you can move through the sources list 
without interacting.

This version seems lightning fast, I would even say faster than 10.3.  The 
column browser is still read out by VO as the playlist browser though and we 
still can't read the About iTunes window.  Well done Apple though, iTunes now 
is a joy to use again.

need help with software installation

2011-08-22 Thread Bill Holton
Hi.
Figured I would install Flash as my first application, going to need it
eventually.  Got the link to download the software from youtube, downloaded
it.  I found the file in my download directory, and I also started the
installer.  When I start it up I get the usual  message, am I sure I want to
install.  I click open, and I get a checkbox to agree to licensing terms.
When I tab down there is an install link, but clicking it either with a
double tap of the touch pad, pressing option command space bar or pressing
the mouse click hot key I set up doesn't do anything.  The Flash installer
is in my dock, but I can't seem to get it further.  Any help to a novice
appreciated.

Re: Direct links for downloading Voices

2011-08-22 Thread Shawn Krasniuk
Hey Sunshine. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a direct link to download 
the Nuance voices. In order to download voices, your only option is to go to VO 
utilities and under the speech utilities go into the pop up menu button thingy 
that has all your voices and select customize. From there you can select what 
voices you want, although each voice is fairly big. Then when you hit the Ok 
button, software update comes up and says if you want to download these voices. 
Select ok. Unfortunately this is the only way to download them so if you go 
back to that place you were at you'll have to do that from there. HTH.

Mac Mail Question

2011-08-22 Thread Linda Adams
Hello again,

Well, I kept researching and found another solution to my question.  I just 
found that command option N will open a new mail window in which I can then 
open another mailbox.  Then I can easily switch between the windows to check my 
inbox and my other mailbox.

This works, but if anyone knows how I can change command 2 to do the trick, I'm 
still interested.

right but no matter what you do they are using software update!
what he wants is the links where he can go to safari and download them or like

Yesterday a friend let me explore her macbook to find out about vo and get a 
sense of how I could work with a mac. I had never tried this so started with vo 
getting started guide and quick start guide.
Today she called me and aid that the error keys are not working. Is there some 
shortcut that I might have accidentally pressed to stop them? 
How could I help out? Not sure I did it but if yes I feel kind of respnsable to 
try to fix this.
Thanks for any tips for the awkward situation.

Re: OpenOffice?

2011-08-22 Thread Chris Blouch
Nice thing about this list is you have a bunch of helpful folk who can 
do sanity checks when you get stuck. Either you'll get advice on how to 
do whatever it is that you're having trouble with or at least somebody 
can verify that something is broken in the same way you noticed. While I 
played with open office I found some stuff accessible, other parts were 
not or buggy. My noodling around was not exhaustive by any means and 
whether those broken things matter to you depends on the task you want 
to complete. Best test is to try to do some task with the tool and then 
post here is you get stuck. I did notice that Libre Office came out with 
a new version August 17th so I'll have to download and check whether the 
table navigation is working yet.

Re: time script

2011-08-22 Thread Darcy Burnard
One thing you want to ensure is that you have the "allow VoiceOver to be 
controlled with applescript" checkbox to be checked.  This is in the general 
section of VoiceOver utility.  If this box is checked, the script will use 
VoiceOver to speak the time.  If it isn't, the script will use the say command 
to do it.  There still may be a bit of a pause if you haven't used the script 
in a while, but it does seem to be a bit faster if that box is checked.

Re: OS X Lion, Safari, and VoiceOver: next/previous static text

2011-08-22 Thread Alex Hall
I've seen that option in the rotor, yes. I also just assigned it to
u/shift-u under single-key navigation in quik nav. It had some trouble
at first, but I think it is working properly now. Restarting vo would
probably have helped. Unfortunately, you can't define the size of the
text chunk to use as the static text size, and I think its definition
is far too small.
