Re: Item Chooser Under Lion
Dan, The problem is caused by I am not exactly sure what, Apple are aware of the specific issue with the Item Chooser and VO, and its across the board I'm afraid, not just limited to the two aspects you mention. One thing that won't hurt is you dropping a line to accessibil...@apple.com to voice your frustration. For the time being the work around that seems to work for me permanently is to use the Web Item Rotor, brought up by using VO-U, rather than VO-I. You will need to ensure that the option for Links is enabled in the Voice Over Utility under the Web category / Web rotar options... Personally in this option I only have Headers, Links, Form Controls and Auto Web Spots enabled, but you'll find a combination that works for you. Do note that when the rotar appears, you can use left / right arrows to change the items being shown between the various settings you have allocated in the VO Utility. so for me, based on the above setup, I have four tabs, headers, links, auto web spots and form controls. You can then type what you are looking for as with the Item Chooser, and for now this works just as well as the Item Chooser, bar that it is a few extra steps to jump through. enjoy.

I know about VO-F for finding things, but, I found that Item chooser works much better, or, at least, it did before I upgraded to Lion. Actually, I don't know if it's Lion, the newer version of the browser, or, a combination of both. if anyone has any ideas on how to get the item chooser to work, I would appreciate knowing about it, thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: caps lock key in vmware fusion?
Hi Anouk, As far as I know, you are now running fusion 4 isn't it? If so, there is a procedure on how to do it in fusion 3, but I'm afraid not too many of us have yet upgraded to fusion 4, so this bit of knowledge is not yet readily available I think. In fusion 3, it's in the fusion prefs, command comma, and then the toolbar item keyboard and mouse. Paul.

Hi Sun shine, Ricardo Walker knows how to do this. He did a podcast on creating a lion bootable usb stick.

ftp server usable in os10?
Dear listers, I have an ftp server running under windows. It has over 50 user accounts now, but the machine is very old, and some day sooner or later, I will have to replace it. Do I need ftp server software on a mac, or is it already built in? If it is built in, can it have separate user accounts, so that I don't have to create each one in users and groups, but rather inside the server software itself so that accounts are local there? Can I use an alternative port instead of 21? Are there any security risks, more than running an ftp server program under windows on the lan? Very interested.

Re: More about Window-Eyes and VMware Fusion 4
It wouldn't make any sense to me to upgrade to fusion 4 then not upgrade the tools. Why upgrade if you aren't going to upgrade completely? I guess I should state that I am using an iMac. But I'm not having any issues with fusion 4 other than the fact that they took out the ability to launch it automatically when opening it from the doc. With version 3, windows seven could be made to launch automatically. This doesn't appear to be available in fusion 4. You need to vo spacebar on the windows seven button.

Re: ftp server usable in os10?
There is a perfectly serviceable FTP server built into osx. Because osx is unix underneath you might be able to set up FTP accounts outside the usual users preference pane, but why? Just add the users via the GUI in the usual way and be done. I should point out that I pretty much stick with Afro as is generally recommended these days. Otherwise FTP is just as risky under osx as any other is. If you want to run FTP on another port you might have to poke under the hood to tweak some configuration files but I haven't googled that. Last I checked FTP requires a whole range of ports to be opened as it shifts connections around, making firewalls into Swiss cheese. Might be time to reconsider sftp.

payroll program
Does anyone here know if there is a payroll program that will work with VoiceOver? I have employees, and right now I am using Numbers which is not specifically for that. Luckily, I have experience with calculating employment taxes, but it would be faster to use a payroll program because the computer could automatically put in withholding.

Re: installing bootcamp accesible?
As far as installing xp on lion I'm doubting it will work, but then again, I will say I've installed Vista, which is officially unsupported by apple now, so that means xp will be unsupported as well. However this doesn't mean it will not work, because it might but you'r going to have to find drivers, which apple will not support, unless you've got a leopard or snow leopard disk and upgraded to lion, that might work. Voiceover will not speak during the windows install, so you will need an unattended setup, or sighted help.

Re: installing bootcamp accesible?
The only time you will need the sl dvd is after xp is installed, once you insert the sl dv when you're at your windows desktop you'll probably get a list asking you what you want to do with the dvd, just select run setup.exe. You most likely won't have sound, so if you've got a usb headset you could plug that in and use narrator to get you started with the install. here is the very stripped down list of what you should do 1. in OX, go into the utilities folder (command shift U) and go to the bootcamp assistant 2. Once there, it will ask you to download the windows drivers but you don't need this step because lion is assuming you've got windows 7 even though it doesn't explicitly tell you that. So just check the box that says I've already got the drivers, and click next. 3. on the partition screen, there are 2 options, split the drive into 20 gigs and the rest for mac, or just split the drive in half. I would split the drive in half to avoid any future space problems you may or may not have. 4. When all said and done it will ask you to insert your windows cd and it should, barring your mac will recognize the xp disk since it is Lion after all, boot into the blue xp installer. 5. You will need someone sighted to select the 4th partition in the list, which will be labeled as bootcamp. You'll probably need to format it, and after you do, that drive label of bootcamp will not be there, so be sure you've got the right one highlighted in the list. 6. The install should go as normal, and when it is finished and you've had help setting up your time zone, user account and windows product key screens, then you should be at your desktop. Plug in any usb audio device you have, and wait for it to install drivers. 7. Press windows key plus r and type in narrator and press enter. 8. If you don't have any usb audio devices available to you, skip steps 6 and 7 and just insert your snow leopard disk. Start the installer on the disk and it will automatically install all the drivers for you, and it will want you to reboot. Please note that if your machine automatically boots into xp by default, don't panic, your lion install is not gone. To get back to lion as soon as you hear the mac chime start up sound, hold your option key for about 15 20 seconds and press right arrow twice and press enter.

Re: Tiger or leopard?
I have a powermac g4 tower that I wanted to upgrade to osx 10.5 since that was as high as I could go on non-intel hardware. I wanted to be legitimate and not just "share" a copy from another machine. This turned out to be non-trivial as Apple moved all references and sales to 10.6 (at the time) and all the usual web sites selling old software were apparently aware of this, jacking up the price to hundreds of dollars. I finally ended up buying one from eBay for a more sane price that was still north of $100. So just be prepared. Folks who have stocks of 10.5 in the shrink-wrap know the non-intel Mac users have nowhere else to go and will price accordingly. That cheap ppc Mac might not be such a deal if you want it somewhat current legally. CB Sent from my iPhone On Sep 23, 2011, at 7:54 PM, Aimee Glover wrote: > Thank you so much.

But I have a small problem in Disk Utility Restore operation: I am trying to make my own Lion Installer USB disk using the Lion disk from the App Store. The problem I am having has to do with dragging the USB disk to the destination. First, I can do other actions well like selecting the disk from the Disk table and mark it for drag with VO-comma. I then also select the Restore tab. I can drag the lion image to the source, and fortunately there is the Image Button that opens a dialog box for choosing the image. Now the issue is with dropping the disk to the destination: even if I drag the usb disk or its partition, VO always says, "fails to drop on the destination icon". Is there another way to place a disk into the destination other than drag and drop? If drag and drop is the only way, did anyone ever succeed in dropping the disk there? How do I do it? I think this affects all Restore operations. tIA, Sunshine -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

NO, you cannot transfer partitions, you may only have 3 partitions, I say this because you've got a lion partition, lion recovery partition, and your bootcamp partition.

Re: Disk Restore, drag and drop problem in Disk Utility
Hi: Perhaps the most painless way to create a Lion recovery image is to use the program called Super Duper, from http://www.shirt-pocket.com It will let you select the "install esd.img" file as a source, and you can then select your USB drive as the destination. I have used it to create both a Lion bootable flash drive for the installer, but, also a bootable installer from Snow Leopard. This part of SuperDuper is free. Hope this helps.

Re: Tiger or leopard?
I have one installation disc of 10.6 Snow Leopard but am keeping it as I may need it to reinstall if my Snow Leopard MacBook Pro I bought on eBay goes haywire [came without installation disc]. It only cost me $25.00 from Apple. Still prefer my MacBook Pro with Leopard [which I refused to upgrade] as it can do the things which Snow Leopard can't do as I have no updated drivers for my peripherals which date all the way back to 2007. I feel it is a crying shame that eBay and others are charging so much for the Leopard disc! After finding out what Lion has left out, I chose not to upgrade and did not buy the Lion install disc. Also was going for $25.00, I believe. Good luck to all of you with your Power PCs. Just loved mine [iMac G4] and miss it sorely, but it was destroyed [power supply and logic board] during a dozen, rapid-fire property lightning strikes 29 November 2009. I had upgraded it to Panther so as to have VoiceOver. JG On Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 6:35 PM, Aimee Glover wrote: > Well I'll have to check it out.

Re: Fusion 4 and Window-Eyes
Yes, Mike. I did find out that xp was a bootcamp issue. Still, very odd that folks are having problems with fusion four. It works great for me. My upgrade went without a hitch.
