Flowplayer Accessibility and Flash on the Web?
Hi, all, I've come across this embedded player for streaming flash content on various sites, most notably www.concertwindow.com . I've gone to the Flowplayer developer site and the documentation says it implements keyboard shortcuts. I've been trying to use it in conjunction with the ClickToPlugin extension in Safari. I've added the various sites using Flowplayer to my white-list, and tried to use the keyboard shortcuts. Is this the correct approach, or is there some alternative way to access it?

humorous story about the iPhone
Hi Guys. I could not resist telling you guys this story told to me by a blind friend of mine. He was laughing so much about this, that he just had to call me up and tell me all about it. This will just go to show you just how much we have come forward with accessibility, thanks to Steve and all his folks. This friend was having difficulty with his old phone, and he was thinking about getting an iPhone. I think he eventually will when his current contract runs out in a few months. He thought it was time because he thought his current phone was dead. He asked the salesman at Sprint to show him the new Siri iPhone. The man, with all the confidence of someone who thought he knew what he was doing blurted out: "I don't think it will work for a blind person. It's got a flat screen." After making this incredibly uninformed statement, he handed the iPhone to my friend at his request. Luckily, he had some experience with iPhones from his sighted iPhone using friends; he's never seen mine. He said to the guy: "just let me show you something here." Luckily they were so uninformed that they hadn't messed with the defaults on the Siri iPhone. So, my friend pressed the home key three times, and when it came up he said into it: "show me the weather in Miami, Florida." It did, and VoiceOver started reading it. The salesman, pretty much in shock, said: "I will never say a thing like that again. That shows me."

Re: downloading from the BARD site
Jenny just open the file with command o and the folder will unzip in your downloads folder. I suggest that you move your book to another folder before unzipping it to keep your download folder clean.

Re: bootable dvd with lion?
Gerry, I've only done a bootable usb drive. I'm posting below some notes on creating a bootable DVD which I had found on the internet when I considering doing it myself a few months ago. HOpe this will help. See the text below my signature. Simon === tuaw.com How to burn a Lion boot disc by KELLY HODGKINS • JUNE 7, 2011 READ LATER Mac OS X Lion will debut in July and this handy set of instructions from Egg Freckles will let you create a boot disc for installation. OS X Lion will be distributed via the Mac App Store and you can download the installer files to your hard drive. Once you have the installer files, follow these steps to create your very own boot disc: • Use Finder to locate the Mac OS X Lion installer, right-click and select "Show Package Contents" • Find the SharedSupport folder and look for a file names "InstallESD.dmg". This is the Lion Boot Disc image. • Copy the "InstallESD.dmg" file to another folder such as your desktop. • Launch Disk Utility and click the burn button • Select the "InstallESD.dmg" copy as the image to burn, insert a DVD, and in a few minutes you will have a brand new Lion Boot Disc. These instructions won't do much for everyone right now since OS X Lion is still in the hands of the developers. Bookmark, Evernote or Instapaper this post for future use. You'll be glad you did when Lion rolls out next month.

Re: heading navigation in safari
You bet there sure is and I'm going to tell you exactly how to turn it on. So, you open the VO utility, select Commanders, select Quick Nav, and check the box that says Enable single-key webpage navigation when using Quick Nav. Once you check this option you will have what your looking for. Now I'd like to make another suggestion. YOu make use of the ACtivities feature if you have not implemented this and setup one for apps such as Safari etc. This way you will not have this option on all the time should you choose to use quick nav in other areas. Remember that once you activate this Enable single-key webpage navigation when using Quick Nav feature, you will have to turn quick nav off to enter text. hth, Scott On Oct 23, 2011, at 6:35 AM, Denise Avant wrote: > Hello all, > I have the latest version of safari and lion. when i go into safari, i turn > on quick nav and try to move by heading or links by pressing h or l. but > nothing happens.

Oh, ouch. This is one thing that is refreshing about an Apple store: those folks know about Voiceover. I was in one cell-phone provider store once, and when I asked for speech, the salesman showed me a feature for sending voice-texts. Sad. That is a great story.

A few verbosity withh Mail questions
Hi.When I have my emails grouped by conversation how come I get several "One message in conversation" notifications whereas other single messages do not have this? Also, is there any way I can cut back on some of the excess verbiage when I get some thing like "Four message conversation?" Would rather it say something like 4mc or something like that.

Keeping Audio Hijack from Moving Through Playlist While Recording?
Hi, folk, A strange thing happened to me today. I woke up and found Audio Hijack recording things, as I'd expected. I noticed that the DJ seemed to be playing a lot of the same artist. It was then I discovered that my entire playlist of 4000 songs was merrily recording itself. I've encountered this problem before. Actually, the radio stations I record are in my "radio favorites" playlist, which was one I set up. I'm not sure why ITunes is finding other things in my main music playlist. Or perhaps it's Audio Hijack doing this. Anyone have ideas? Thanks, Teresa "Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough."--Richard P.

accessible apps from the mac app store
Good morning all, As a fairly new Mac user, I'm very interested in obtaining new apps, to expand the possibilities of my Mac, also, I'm an iOs app junky, so I'd like to cary that obsession over to the mac. All that said, I'm leary of plunging right in without a resource of apps that are and aren't accessible. I'd like to hear from those of you using different apps, For example, what RSS reader are people using, what podcast app, are there any accesible games? I downloaded the RS Games server thingy last night, and Zoom for mac osX, for text adventures, but what else is there? We really need an Apple Vis for mac!

Re: Pages for the Mac.
DOn't quote me on this, but I think the kluge workaround is to use the iWorks beta site, which can be accessed through the apps in the iWorks suite such as Pages. I know APple is working on a new version of the iWorks package and I would anticipate full iCloud integration. So for now you may have to punish yourself and do the e-mail thing, but hopefully soon APple wil have iWorks updated, more accessible, and integrated with iCloud. Hey, how do you like pages on the iOS platform? I now have all of the iWOrks apps and they are really starting to show promise. There is work to do yet, but progress has been made. I was even able to work with a PowerPoint presentation. Now I would not say I did much to impress anyone, but I could at least read the file and make some edits; all be it a little basic and messy. :) Scott On Oct 23, 2011, at 5:45 PM, Kawal Gucukoglu wrote: > Hi All. > > I bought Pages for the Mac although I did buy Pages for the I phone. > > My question is, if I import all my word documents into pages, is there are a > way to save them in I cloud? > > Any help will be appreciated. > > Kawal. > ___ > Kawal Gucukoglu > (E-mail/MSN): > kawa...@me.com > > (Skype ID): > > kawalgucukoglu > > (Mobile/text): > > +447905618396 > > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: accessible apps from the mac app store
Well News Rack is pretty accessible for RSS, but don't like it for the iOS platform. Itunes is more than sufficient for podcasts, but since I use Downcast on the iOS platform, I don't need anything for the Mac and actually would not want to listen to podcasts on my Mac. Pages, Keynote, and NUmbers, are reasonably accessible, but Apple will surely have an update out before long that will improve things further. I don't really play games and those I do, I prefer to play on my iOS devices. I think someone did or is working on a site to showcase accessible software for the Mac. I'm sure you will get lots of folks sharing their favorites as well.

Re: iCal Bug in Lion?
Turning VoiceOver off is not necessary for any functions in the Address Book nor iCal. I have successfully created calendars and I also posted steps a few days ago if memory serves; however, I will post below for your reference. 1. Go to the File menu in iCal and locate the "New Calendar" submenu. I'm going to assume it is a submenu for you because here is where you get to choose where the calendar will be created, (i.e. on your Mac, iCloud, etc.). 2. Press enter and you should get a popover that says something like: "Interact with Calendar List table row 2 selected column 1" 3. Locate the "Untitled" calendar in the table (look at column two of the table) and interact with the "Untitled" title. 4. Erase the word or type over what is there and give it your own name. Stop interacting and you are done. Note: you do not have to press enter etc. The checkbox in column one hides or shows the events of that calendar in the overall unified calendar. So, to clarify, all the calendars that are checked will present the events on a unified calendar.

Re: accessible apps from the mac app store
Cheree Heppe here: Because I have purchased useable products from Wallgreen's, I downloaded their free app. I found it in the Lifestyles section of the app store. It seems very accessible. I also have successfully used the Amazon mobile app. I have others, and at first, because of my conditioning about how all things other than blindness specific gadgetry are s inaccessible, I didn't experiment. That has gone by the board and now, I try the apps. Most of the time, they are okay or even great. Some of the time, an app isn't accessible and I go into its app store info tab and write a review and rate it as low as I can for not being accessible. That's where the app developers will feel the urge to work accessibility in, when we are all trying and rating these apps. There are a lot of us and we have friends and relatives also. I suggest scrolling through the apps sections and trying what seems really interesting to you If yo're wrong, just delete it.

Re: iCal Bug in Lion?
Hi: It does not work. As soon as you choose where you want the calendar saved, it immediately creates it and calls it "Untitled." You cannot edit the name, just delete the entire calendar.

re: accessible apps from the mac app store
Hello Angie, My favorite app for using Twitter is YoruFukurou. It is excellent and readily accessible. I bought the World Capital Quiz in the Mac App Store. At first, it was comfusing to figure out and quickly answer the questions. But it's awesome. I also have the 2011 Multimedia Encyclopedia. There, I can listen to music samples of all sorts, research articles on my favorite topics, go through timelines in history, etc. HTH, Ezzie - Original Message - From: Angie Giltinan As a fairly new Mac user, I'm very interested in obtaining new apps, to expand the possibilities of my Mac, also, I'm an iOs app junky, so I'd like to cary that obsession over to the mac.

iCal and iCloud not playing nice - any suggestions?
Hello List. Well I've got calendar syncing working fine on my iPad and iPhone but not working on my Mac using iCal. Am I missing a step here? I've got iCloud fully set up on my Mac, I've tried using Apple's rather useless troubleshooting articles, and I checked iCal's help and my preferences. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there something about IOS calendars that make them incompatible with iCal? Thanks for any suggestions.

steve Jobs in 1994.
Hi All, I promised to share this, and I am sorry it took longer than planned. I must admit that since my dad's recent passing, I can have a hard time getting things done. Anyway, it totally amazing, the article, not just because of what it reveals about Jobs, but about how he was thinking ahead. So much so that you may laugh out loud at how correct he was...even about how long it would take cable boxes to do very much. He even points out why it is hard for screen reader developers to get Windows to be as flexible as the mac, although the comment is not specific to speech. it is all here, and a long one, but worth it. Karen Steve Jobs in 1994: The Rolling Stone Interview Anne Knudsen/Liaison The story of Apple CEO Steve Jobs is one of the most familiar in American business -- shaggy Bob-Dylan-loving kid starts a computer company in a Silicon Valley garage and changes the world. But like any compelling story, it has its dark moments. Before the iPad or the iPhone, Jobs, then the head of the short-lived NeXT Computer, sat down with Rolling Stone's Jeff Goodell. It was 1994, Jobs had long ago been booted from Apple, the internet was still the province of geeks and academics, and the personal computer revolution looked like it might be over. But even at one of the low points in his career, Jobs still had confidence in the limitless potential of personal computing. Read on to get Jobs' prescient take on PDAs and object-oriented software, as well as his relationship with Bill Gates and why he wanted the internet in his den, but not living room. Steve Jobs died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 56 on October 5th, 2011. Like other Phenomena of the '80s, Steve Jobs was supposed to be long gone by now. After the spectacular rise of Apple, which went from a garage start-up to a $1.4 billion company in just eight years, the Entrepreneur of the Decade (as one magazine anointed him in 1989) tried to do it all again with a new company called NeXT. He was going to build the next generation of the personal computer, a machine so beautiful, so powerful, so insanely great, it would put Apple to shame. It didn't happen. After eight long years of struggle and after running through some $250 million, NeXT closed down its hardware division last year and laid off more than 200 employees. It seemed only a matter of time until the whole thing collapsed and Jobs disappeared into hyperspace. But it turns out that Jobs isn't as far gone as some techno-pundits thought. There are big changes coming in software development -- and Jobs, of all people, is trying to lead the way. This time the Holy Grail is object-oriented programming; some have compared the effect it will have on the production of software to the effect the industrial revolution had om manufactured goods. "In my 20 years in this industry, I have never seen a revolution as profound as this," says Jobs, with characteristic understatement. "You can build software literally five to 10 times faster, and that software is much more reliable, much easier to maintain and much more powerful." This article appeared in the June 16, 1994 issue of Rolling Stone. The issue is available in the online archive. Of course, this being Silicon Valley, there is always a new revolution to hype. And to hear it coming from Jobs -- Mr. Revolution himself -- is bound to raise some eyebrows. "Steve is a little like the boy who cried wolf," says Robert Cringely, a columnist at Info World, a PC industry newsweekly. "He has cried revolution one too many times. People still listen to him, but now they're more skeptical." And even if object-oriented software does take off, Jobs may very well end up a minor figure rather than the flag-waving leader of the pack he clearly sees himself as. Whatever role Jobs ends up playing, there is no question evolutionary forces will soon reshape the software industry. Since the Macintosh changed the world 10 years ago with its brilliant point-and-click interface, all the big leaps in computer evolution have been on the hardware side. Machines have gotten smaller, faster and cheaper. Software, by contrast, has gotten bigger, more complicated and much more expensive to produce. Writing a new spreadsheet or word-processing program these days is a tedious process, like building a skyscraper out of toothpicks. Object-oriented programming will change that. To put it simply, it will allow gigantic, complex programs to be assembled like Tinkertoys. Instead of starting from the ground up every time, layering in one line of code after another, programmers will be able to use preassembled chunks to build 80 percent of a program, thus saving an enormous amount of time and money. Because these objects will work with a wide range of interfaces and applications, they will also eliminate many of the compatibility problems that plague traditional software. For now, the beneficiary of all this is corporate Americ

can't figure out iCloud on Mac
Hi guys. I thought I could figure this out, but no go. I set up iCloud on my iPhone, and I know it works because I can see when it was last updated. However, do I need to do anything more with the Mac? I say this because my husband went onto his Windows computer onto iTunes, and it asked if he wanted to download the iCloud software. This all came up because this same computer used to be my desktop computer. It had my Apple Id on it, and my husband has his own. So, when he told me that it had stuff on there he didn't want, like my stuff, I panicked and told him whatever he did he needed to start over on that computer and reinstall iTunes with his own ID. Luckily, on that computer he said no to the iCloud software, so I think I'm safe for that computer telling iCloud to wipe me out. But should I do anything more on the Mac?

Re: Steve Jobs Biography Reveals He Told Obama, 'You're Headed For A One-Term Presidency'
Did others catch the 60 minutes program tonight? Besides the story on Jobs himself, there was a second one. Individuals who have the form of autism that prevents them from speaking are using voiceover in their ipods to communicate for the first time. honestly that made me cry.

Nine months later, he got the operation but it was too late. Those are just some of the tidbits about Jobs' life revealed in the upcoming biography, a copy of which was obtained by The Huffington Post. The publication date of the official biography of the notoriously-secretive Apple co-founder was pushed up after his death in October. "I wanted my kids to know me," Isaacson quoted Jobs as saying in their final interview. "I wasn't always there for them and I wanted them to know why and to understand what I did." Among other details unearthed in the book on the notoriously-secretive Apple co-founder: Jobs' Meeting With Obama Jobs, who was known for his prickly, stubborn personality, almost missed meeting President Obama in the fall of 2010 because he insisted that the president personally ask him for a meeting. Though his wife told him that Obama "was really psyched to meet with you," Jobs insisted on the personal invitation, and the standoff lasted for five days. When he finally relented and they met at the Westin San Francisco Airport, Jobs was characteristically blunt. He seemed to have transformed from a liberal into a conservative. "You're headed for a one-term presidency," he told Obama at the start of their meeting, insisting that the administration needed to be more business-friendly. As an example, Jobs described the ease with which companies can build factories in China compared to the United States, where "regulations and unnecessary costs" make it difficult for them. Jobs also criticized America's education system, saying it was "crippled by union work rules," noted Isaacson. "Until the teachers' unions were broken, there was almost no hope for education reform." Jobs proposed allowing principals to hire and fire teachers based on merit, that schools stay open until 6 p.m. and that they be open 11 months a year. Aiding Obama's Reelection Campaign Jobs suggested that Obama meet six or seven other CEOs who could express the needs of innovative businesses -- but when White House aides added more names to the list, Jobs insisted that it was growing too big and that "he had no intention of coming." In preparation for the dinner, Jobs exhibited his notorious attention to detail, telling venture capitalist John Doerr that the menu of shrimp, cod and lentil salad was "far too fancy" and objecting to a chocolate truffle dessert. But he was overruled by the White House, which cited the president's fondness for cream pie. Though Jobs was not that impressed by Obama, later telling Isaacson that his focus on the reasons that things can't get done "infuriates" him, they kept in touch and talked by phone a few more times. Jobs even offered to help create Obama's political ads for the 2012 campaign. "He had made the same offer in 2008, but he'd become annoyed when Obama's strategist David Axelrod wasn't totally deferential," writes Isaacson. Jobs later told the author that he wanted to do for Obama what the legendary "morning in America" ads did for Ronald Reagan. Bill Gates And Steve Jobs Bill Gates was fascinated by Steve Jobs but found him "fundamentally odd" and "weirdly flawed as a human being," and his tendency to be "either in the mode of saying you were shit or trying to seduce you."

Hello Cheree, The 2011 Multimedia Encyclopedia runs on a Macbook and is found in the app store. In that app, you can read articles found in the Worldbook Encyclopedia.
