Re: Show all Bookmarks shows me the table of folders but not the bookmarks within the folders
Another small problem. When I go to the bookmarks bar and go to the bookmarks table, choosing the bookmark doesn't allow me to load that page. I don't know why. I can edit my bookmarks but I can't seem to go to a website using the bookmarks from the table. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: some MacBook Air questions
hi, as a whole i will say that given size and all it is pretty responsive. I have used Airs since they came out, why? Im a thin girl so it was the only option for me, have not tried too use a vitural machine on it though, but since it have a Flash drive i am 90% sure that should not give you any problems though. The only irritating thing i have found, but i am sure that is tied too the operating system is that sometimes if you are scrolling fast in a rtf file textedig becomes unresponsive, there is a nice little hack for that. Make a plane txt file and just dump what you wanna read in to that. If you have more questions don't hold back but write. Never ask to ask, just ask. /Sandi On 11/24/11, Matthew Campbell wrote: > Hi all. > I've got a few questions for those of you who are using the 2011 MacBook > air. > 1. How's the speed?

Kevin, Have you tried interacting with the bookmark and do a VO-shift-m to bring up the context menu? There you can choose open.

Re: Attaching a file in apple Mail seems ridiculous
Cnage view to collom is the fast way, then you should just be able to move to the right of downloads folder and scroll down to the specific file then back out of interaction and then proceed on. That is the advantage of collom view, however, in some situations it will do the "busy" thing too. On Nov 13, 2011, at 6:18 AM, David Eagle wrote: > Here we go again.

Re: iTunes 10.5 And Mudding On the Mac
Multi User Dungeon games. Mud. Text based games so multi pal rooms, places, and even worlds depending on the game and of course multi player. That's muding as I know it. Now if anybody knows a good client that will work in Lion feel free to let me know. Mud walker apparently won't work because it was written originally as a power pc, or my new machine sees something pertaining to power pc and so it doesn't want to work for me Suppose could just go into my games though and link throughout the telnet and see how terminal works it worked before when I was using my power pc.

Re: Disabling reopening last visited file on app specific basis in Lion?
Hi, Sorry, I have misinformed you as the Safari option I was thinking of doesn't appear to work as it should. You could, though, use the Terminal script that was mentioned in an earlier post: defaults write com.apple.Safari NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false ...but, instead of the boolean value set to False,, you should set it to True. Therefore, defaults write com.apple.Safari NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool true I have tested this and it does appear to work as it should. I also suspect that you could use this same command to set specific apps such as Pages by simply changing the com.apple.app as in: defaults write com.apple.pages NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false I have not tested this but it seems logical. You may need to look in the Preferences folder of your Home Library folder to learn the specific com.apple.app or org.mozilla.app file to reference in the terminal command. HTH. Later...

Re: Mac feel natural
Hi, I would also have to disagree with the comments made with respect to keyboard commands being an after thought. In fact, many of the keyboard commands that Windows uses are more or less the same as the MacOS. eg. Cut, Copy, Paste, Print, Open Save as well as commonly used style commands such as Bold, Italic and Underline all use the same keyboard letter. On Windows you simply use the control key whereas in the MacOS, you use the cmd key. There are numerous other commands that are so very close to each other that it is quite easy to move back and forth. I admit that there are many commands that are totally different and these, for the most part, are simply accomplished differently, not necessarily more or less difficultly. eg. On Windows, press Alt to quickly get to the menubar, in the MacOS, VO users can press VO-m or anybody, including VO users, can simply press control-f2. There are tons of keyboard alternatives on the Mac but I'd venture to say that most people don't know or realize that they exist. The concept of Interacting With items can in some cases slow down one process/activity but in most cases, speeds up navigation. The reason that one must Interact with something also means that one can quickly navigate past that entire group quickly without Interacting, if they do not wish to deal with the detail of its contents. The GUI for the MacOS was out about 10 years prior to the release of Windows 95 and I'd guess that MS based much of it's interface on the same concepts that Apple had already implemented. Since then, improvements have been made on both platforms and I'd also guess that some improvements on each, were built on concepts the other had already implemented. I'm certainly not an expert on Windows, as 99.5% of my computer use is on the Mac. The only things I use a PC for now is accessing the Active Directory on our Windows Server at work. I see it more as a different way of doing things, and being that us humans are creatures of habit, what we believe as more logical or intuitive, sometimes is primarily due to the way our brains have been trained Parents often find the new way that their kids do Math and such as totally confusing but their kids find our ways confusing. Parts of the world, like the UK, find it much more logical to drive on the right side of the car and on the left side of the road, very illogical and problematic to people in North America and other countries that do otherwise. I've belaboured this enough, so I'll stop. Have a great day. For my neighbours to the south, don't spend too much money on Black Friday deals. Later...

Black Friday Mac App Store Sales
Hi All, I'm forwarding excerpts from a post I made to the mac-access list about Mac App Store sales. Apologies to those of you seeing this content again. Also, you can refer to Scott's earlier post to the Macvisionaries list about Soulver for more details about that app. In connection with Black Friday, the first day after U.S. Thanksgiving, when there are sales to start off the Christmas shopping season, a number of interesting sales have shown up in the Mac App Store for applications or subjects that have been recently discussed. Some of these will be for today only, some for the Friday and Saturday, and some will extend through Monday. Here are a few of the items I've noted: • ABBYY Fine Reader Express $49.99 (50% off regular price, this weekend only) http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/abbyy-finereader-express/id412310371?mt=12 • Bento 4 $33.99 (price just dropped from $49.99, no comments about this sale price or how long it will last at the App Store or at the main Bento web page, where the price is still listed as $49.99) http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bento/id413293930?mt=12 • YummySoup! $4.99 (75% off regular price of $19.99 Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday) http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yummysoup!/id402757302?mt=12 All three of the above applications (ABBYY Fine Reader Express for OCR with scanners, Bento for database, and YummySoup! for recipes) have been previously discussed on the mac-access list. All of these products have 15-day free trial downloads at their main web sites (through the link on the Mac App Store page for each product). (I'll give a direct link for the ABBYY Fine Reader Express trial download, since navigating the main web page is confusing, and while there is a link that eventually gets you to the Mac product buried in the page under a name like "Try Try", the link to "Trial Downloads" takes you to trial downloads for their Windows products). The ABBYY Fine Reader Express trial download can be found at: http://www.abbyy.com/finereader_for_mac/trial/# Other applications at the Mac App Store that have been mentioned as accessible, but that I've not used, include: • Checkbook $6.99 (normally $14.99, on sale this Friday only) http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/checkbook/id412485361?mt=12 • Checkbook Pro $11.99 (normally $24.99, on sale this Friday only) http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/checkbook-pro/id412490330?mt=12 Another Splasm Software product that I have used is flagged with the same "over 50% off for Black Friday only" label, but as far as I can tell, the price has only dropped by a dollar: • Audiobook Builder $4.99 (normally $5.99) http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/audiobook-builder/id406226796?mt=12 • Soulver $11.99 (normally $24.99, on sale for Thanksgiving and Black Friday) http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/soulver/id413965349?mt=12 Scott Howell posted elsewhere about Soulver, which is an app for doing calculations that gives you a combination of functions somewhere between calculator, spread sheet, and text editor. I'll excerpt a bit from the recent MacLife article, since that site puts in annoying ad pop-ups if you just open a link to the page: Source: http://www.maclife.com/article/reviews/soulver_calculator_review "Soulver Calculator Review posted 11/21/2011" Hey! You got your text editor in my spreadsheet! Wouldn’t it be nice if the calculations you scribbled on scrap paper were interactive, or if spreadsheets were easy enough to use at the drop of a hat? Soulver is a calculator that aims to combine these tools into something that’s both easy to use and powerful enough to crunch data in useful ways. Soulver lets you enter problems from simple arithmetic to trigonometry in natural language—using words as well as numbers and symbols—and combine the answers in flexible “math-processor” documents. Typing “15.3% of $29.95” will get you an answer, for example, but Soulver isn’t quite magic, or even Siri. You have to use the vocabulary it expects, which is usually varied enough to get the job done, but it still requires a trip to the built-in cheat sheet every now and then. Nevertheless, its text-friendly design is great for adding notes and context to your numbers, and it’s even better for unit and currency conversions. Soulver even recognizes stock ticker symbols, so you can quickly figure out how much your 50 shares of AAPL are worth in yen (lucky you). Soulver offers more power than just a cool input gimmick, however. You can easily define custom variables and save them for use in multiple files. Answers are summed automatically, and you can view their average, variance, or standard deviation with a click. You can even save answers as keys to use throughout a document, so when the original answer changes, problems containing its key update instantly. When you’ve finished working, Soulver exports to multiple file types, including PDF and HTML, with various styling options. The bottom line. While pricey as a simple replacement

Re: Attaching a file in apple Mail seems ridiculous
Hi, copy and Paste is the easiest but if you prefer using List view, simply press VO-back slash to open the Downloads folder then navigate to the item you wish to attach then press return. What Mail is allowing you to do here in your original post is to actually attach folders which is quite useful and was not supported in the past. Later...

switching radio stations in iTunes
Hi all, When I'm running down the radio list, how do I play one station then move onto a second one to play? I get press spacebar to play my first choice, but I can't figure how to play that second station. Pressing spacebar seems to toggle play for that first choice.

Re: Black Friday Mac App Store Sales
Esther and all, I did want to mention that I did get a note back from Zac the dev for Soulver and he wil be working to make the iPhone and iPad versions accessible and there will be further enhancements. He was very responsive and willing to accept user feedback.

Re: slowing down a track in itunes
Not sure how/if you can do it in iTunes but if you pull the file up in QuickTime Player 7 you can open up the A/V Controls (Command-K) and among the numerous controls is Playback Speed which you can decrease at will. I think Apple stopped installing QuickTime Player 7 and instead puts the feature-lacking QTP 10 instead. So you might have to go get it. If you do have it QTP7 should be in your Utilities folder. Otherwise you have to pull it from your installer CD.
