Re: text edit find question

2011-11-27 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Paul,

You've almost got it.

• Press Cmd-f to open the Find window;
• Enter the text to find in the search box;
• press Return;
• Press Escape;
• You should be on the first occurrence of the text you want.

To find further occurrences, press Cmd-g and the word will be highlighted.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: reading special characters

2011-11-27 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Banu,

This is a problem you'll have to take up with Apple.

Send an example of text giving you trouble to:
accessibil...@apple.com

Give them as much information as you can to help them understand the problem.

Are you having the same trouble with PDF files and file names? These give 
trouble in French and I've reported the problem to Accessibility.

Cheers,

Anne

Hi bill.
tell me step-by-step what you want me to do.
If it  works fine when VO is turned off it is not a Voiceover related
problem though, but of course your backup with time machine should
work just fine.
I have a 20 gb Usbdrive that i am willing to test it on, if you give
me clinical instructions.


kind regards Sandi

Hi,

If you have your devices syncing through iCloud, as you fix them on the
iPhone, they will fix the related items within iCloud.  Similarly, if you
fix these items on your Mac in AddressBook, they will automatically be fixed
on your iPhone.  You can confirm this by going to the other device and
checking it.  That is, if you did the corrections on the iPhone,, just go to
your Mac and take a look in AddressBook and the same items should also be
fixed there.  Again, this only is relevant if you have the same iCloud
account on both devices and you have Contact syncing turned on.

HTH.

Hi BIll,


So, just to confirm, if you attach an external USB drive, partition/format the 
drive, and then attempt to access it VO will go busy? I have been having some 
interesting drive issues myself, but not sure if this is related to what you 
are experiencing. I'm more than happy to subject a drive to the experiment. :)

Re: Anyone want to help confirm a bug?

2011-11-27 Thread Mr. L. Alexander
The reason Voiceover goes a little crazy is two fold.

firstly, disk utility is rather intense when it comes to disk management as 
it's handling your SATA buses as well as USB and Firewire handling. When you 
format an external drive as an example, your USB or firewire BUS is taken over 
with that particular instruction, so the CPU is taking up some resources to 
manage that process.

as regards voiceover, Sometimes the speech synthesis server has a bit of a 
wobble. May I ask what version OS you are using at this point? if it's 10.7, 
there are a few niggles to be aware of. 10.6, I've noticed a few things but 
nothing that restarting voiceover won't harm.

I use an external disk destroyer suite / diagnostic interface for managing 
drives including partitioning, volume testing, data destruction and disk aging 
and it's linked via USB so I can either use it standalone or VIA USB / firewire 
with disk utility where needed.

just to let you know, don't worry, just quit voiceover and reload it. no 
problem.

Interestingly I had not had issues very often in the past when dealing with VO 
and Disk Utility; however, I don't have to partition disks all that often 
either. I'm going to check this out a bit more because this is not something 
that should be happening, IMHO.

Feedback on secure Edit boxes

2011-11-27 Thread David Griffith
Thanks  for the suggestion. The problem with my banking site is that I never 
enter a single password  
but instead have to enter characters from it generated by random number 
selection. This is good for security but defeats password automation.

I would settle for audible feedback but Safari and voiceover does not appear to 
deliver this consistently. So some edit boxes will not provide any click 
feedback and others will only provide sporadic feedback. So for example if I 
try to sign to my Gmail some of my key presses will provide feedback and others 
will not. This is very confusing and can lead you to believe that your have not 
pressed a key  that you have in fact made.  
The problem with the Nat West site when I tried it was that no feedback at all 
was being received. On my netbook Windows XP setup I get Jaws announcing star.  
.  after every key press. This is all I want Voiceover and Safari to do 
consistently, that is provide a click on secure edit boxes,  and I would be 
happy.

Hi matthew, what mac are you using? model and a rough date please would be 
ideal? if your speaker is not working, there may be a hardware issue or again a 
mute or audio setting somewhere depending on your situation.

Hi Lu,

My name is Jenny and I have no clue about outspoken or most things about Macs 
but I just wanted to say that I think what you're doing is really great and I 
have so much respect and admiration for you.  Thank you for what you do.  If it 
weren't for my Dad, I wouldn't have my Mac Mini so I totally understand and 
appreciate the generosity of others.  

You are a gift from GOD and my he bless your efforts.

Re: Outspoken 9.2 help needed please.

2011-11-27 Thread Mr. L. Alexander
Hi Jenny,

Thanks for your kindness. I really appreciate it. I do this work for two 
reasons. 

1: can't stand the thought of young people especially students with 
disabilities who don't get support and are turned away from colleges, etc not 
having the right access to equipment,
2: can't stand the thought of a good mac, no matter what it's age, going to the 
tip or be destroyed. it just sickens me. a perfectly good, working mac of any 
kind which can still be used by anyone just being savaged to death is wrong. So 
I'd rather a fellow blind user get the benefit and my technical support as a 
hardware based engineer / consultant.

this is a pretty much, eat, sleap and drink FreeMacsForTheBlind job.

anyway if ever there's something I can do on here in return, like hardware 
diagnostics, online system repair training, etc I'm happy to spare the time..

Re: the cloud

2011-11-27 Thread Mr. L. Alexander
on your iphone, the quick way is to tap on phone, when open go to contacts. 
from there tap on the name of the person you wish to remove, this opens the 
contact info for that person, tap EDIT. then swipe down until you hear DELETE 
CONTACT. Tap and it will ask you if you wish to do so,  then tap DELETE contact.

done.

Sorry, it's the way I know of it. I'm not so hot on mobile communications. my 
phone is just a work horse, no internet solution, etc.

new user to mac how to access on line help

2011-11-27 Thread Nancy Stevens
I just purchased my Mac book Pro a week ago. 
I'm having a couple issues.
When I go to the on line help I get stuck in a text box.
How do I exit the text box to find answers?
When I open a PDF document, I also get stuck in a text box how do I get past 
the text box to read the document?
Are there any good audio tutorials available to get started?
Thanks for your assistance.

 May I possibly suggest freecycle, if your country and region has such a site, 
I would recommend it. after all, you can pick up monitors in working order  for 
free if it would help you.

Re: new user to mac how to access on line help

2011-11-27 Thread Mr. L. Alexander
Hi Nancy, a great choice. I use a macbook pro too and love it to bits.

If ever you find yourself stuck in a text box and can't get out, here's what 
you do. VO-SHIFT-UP ARROW. this stops you interacting with that particular 
section and should then say "HTML Content" or "Window"

this applies to anything as a window navigation function.

hope this helps you.

Well, I am still very much a baby when it comes to the Mac.  I know very little 
about it and am learning every day I use it.  I don't have an Apple store in my 
area so no training is available.  I'm also not good at just listening to a

to play with it and then get to something I don't know how to do and then say, 
"How do I do this?"  basically OJT so to speak:)  I've learned a lot that way.  

There are so many blind people that don't have computers cause they just can't

I certainly will.

Yep It's one of those things. technology being one of those big expenses, 
especially when it comes to disabled users.

I remember the battles I've gone through to get where I am now. that's what has 
partly driven me to this work.

your learning method is a good idea to be honest. We're all here to help. each

Re: Mac Mini Headphone Jack not Working

2011-11-27 Thread Mr. L. Alexander
do you still have apple care protection? if so, I'd recommend popping in to 
your nearest apple store or contacting apple for a hardware repair.

if your audio settings are all there, your sound card is visable, etc then the 
internal speaker may have shorted. it's a rare issue.

I need to know more about your setup in terms of are you using line out to 
headphones or speakers? have you accidentally muted or disabled the settings in 
audio / midi settings? etc

You can also use the entertainment portion of samnet  if you install google 
chrome with the chromevox speech extension. It is a new thing and you will need 
to get used to using google chrome. there have been a lot of posts on the list 
about google chrome. When using it turn VO off. Also the chrome key is the same 
as the VO key combination (Control+option) this  using a mac so just apply that 
principle when using the program. It still has a way to go but it works. I have 
listened to a radio play and a part of a movie without any problem. I am not 
able to access the Chrome menu using control+f2) so if anon knows how this 
might be done without turning  VO back on I would like to know.

I also like the interactive tutorial that has been developed for google chrome.

It has been fun playing around with it.

Re: Mac Mini Headphone Jack not Working

2011-11-27 Thread Mr. L. Alexander
big clue given there.

your USB headset if left in, is your default audio device most possibly, then 
your external speakers. the chime, etc may be diverted to another sound output. 
just a thought without actually being there.

Hi,

If you have your devices syncing through iCloud, as you fix them on the
iPhone, they will fix the related items within iCloud.  Similarly, if you
fix these items on your Mac in AddressBook, they will automatically be fixed
on your iPhone.  You can confirm this by going to the other device and
checking it.  That is, if you did the corrections on the iPhone,, just go to
your Mac and take a look in AddressBook and the same items should also be
fixed there.  Again, this only is relevant if you have the same iCloud
account on both devices and you have Contact syncing turned on.

HTH.

Re: Mac Mini Headphone Jack not Working

2011-11-27 Thread Mr. L. Alexander
go to applications > utilities > audio Midi setup.

To solve a problem like this, lets go into the main window where the devices 
are found. as an example, there are 3 instances. Default line input, default 
mic input, default line output.

in this instance, lets go to the default audio output. select it, Move around 
until you hear SOURCE. then it should give either internal speakers, etc as an 
option in a pull down menu. in this instance, lets use internal speakers as the 
mac default.

now navigate around until you hear 2 buttons. add aggregate device / remove 
aggregate device, the next one after that is a pulldown menu just says menu. go 
into it and make sure that both "Use this device for system sounds" and Use 
this device for sound output" are enabled.

this then should help.

if not, let me look into things and where possible, I'd like to try and help 
you remotely.

Re: the cloud

2011-11-27 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

To remove a Contact on your iDevice, do the following.  You can use split-tap 
instead of double-tap, whichever you're most comfortable with.

• Double-tap on the Contacts app.
• Double-tap on the contact you wish to delete.
• Swipe right to the Edit button and double-tap it.
• Place four fingers near the bottom of the screen and release to move focus to 
the bottom.
• Double-tap the Delete button and confirm.

This is cumbersome if you're wishing to delete numerous entries but there is a 
round-about way of deleting them all at once if that is your goal.

• Go to your Setting app.
• Select the iCloud option
• Turn off Contact syncing.

When you do this, it will ask you if you wish to keep the contacts that are on 
your iDevice or to remove them from your device.  If you choose to remove them 
from your device, they will all be deleted.  I would then sync your iPhone, 
which has the contacts all fixed thus sending them to iCloud and when you turn 
Contact syncing back on the Touch, the good ones will be synced.

Hope this is not too confusing.

Later...

RE: Anyone want to help confirm a bug?

2011-11-27 Thread Bill Holton
Hi.

Actually, it's not a problem using Disk Utility.  What I was explaining was
that after I use DU to re-partition and format a drive I can't access it
using Finder.  Ironically, I learned last night that if I use the go to menu
to go to the computer and then open the drive from that list it opens fine.
If I close the drive, move to finder and try to open it from my desktop it
won't open.  Nor will it open from any file menu box.  Finder starts saying
busy, and it will continue to say busy for 8 hours, which is the longest I
have let things run.  The fan starts running hot and doesn't stop until I
turn off VO, still can't access the drive when I turn VO back on, Finder
crashes and won't let me force quit, have to restart the Mini. Command
Option Escape will supposedly restart it, but all VO sees is a blank screen.

I have checked the activity monitor while this is happening.  Finder stays
at a low menmory useage, but VO goes up to 360%--mine is a quad core.

And it's not just USB drives.  When I reformatted one of the mini's two
internal drives I couldn't access that one, either, until after I had used
the right click menu to copy a file onto the drive.

Last night I reinstalled Lion.  Everything worked fine, until I did a
software update, then it started happening just as before.  So the problem
seems to be in one of the software updates.  

I have a server edition of the Mini, which may be the specific Mac or mac
software update this is a problem on.

Any further thoughts and suggestions welcome.

Bill

Subject: Re: Anyone want to help confirm a bug?

 

The reason Voiceover goes a little crazy is two fold.

 

firstly, disk utility is rather intense when it comes to disk management as
it's handling your SATA buses as well as USB and Firewire handling. When you
format an external drive as an example, your USB or firewire BUS is taken
over with that particular instruction, so the CPU is taking up some
resources to manage that process.

 

as regards voiceover, Sometimes the speech synthesis server has a bit of a
wobble. May I ask what version OS you are using at this point? if it's 10.7,
there are a few niggles to be aware of. 10.6, I've noticed a few things but
nothing that restarting voiceover won't harm.

 

I use an external disk destroyer suite / diagnostic interface for managing
drives including partitioning, volume testing, data destruction and disk
aging and it's linked via USB so I can either use it standalone or VIA USB /
firewire with disk utility where needed.

 

just to let you know, don't worry, just quit voiceover and reload it. no
problem.

Hi.

Here's the situation.

A few weeks ago I started having trouble with my Time Machine backup.  So I
figured I would just go ahead and repartition it-it's a two-tarabyte drive,
format it and go from there.  Did this,formatted with Mac Extended
journaling, but when I tried to open the drive Finder kept hanging and
reporting busy, busy, busy..  Eventually the fan would come on, the only way
I could stop it was to restart the Mac.This error has been driving me and
the folks at Appple nuts.  First they thought it was a bad USB drive,
happens on all three of my drives.  And if I turn off VO and let my wife
have a crack at it she can get to the drive easily.  Turn back on VO, try to
acces the drive, Busy.  Busy.  Busy.

Strangely, if I copy a file from one of my folders and use the right click
to copy that file to the drive it copies fine, and from that point on I can
access the drive-I'm just not convinced this is a long term solution, and
eventually I will start having more Time machine problems.

So today I bit the bullet and reformatted the drive.  Everything worked
fine.until I tried using iTunes.  iTunes required a software update, and so
the Mac took the opportunity to update all of my OS files as well.  As you
have probably guessed at this point, as soon as the system updates were
installed and the Mac restarted I was back to the same old problems.

I don't have a second mac to try this one, but is anyone else having trouble
accessing freshly partitioned drives via Finder?

Any help much, much appreciated.

Bill

to copy that file to the drive it copies fine, and from that point on I can
access the drive-I'm just not convinced this is a long term solution, and
eventually I will start having more Time machine problems.

So today I bit the bullet and reformatted the drive.  Everything worked
fine.until I tried using iTunes.  iTunes required a software update, and so
the Mac took the opportunity to update all of my OS files as well.  As you
have probably guessed at this point, as soon as the system updates were
installed and the Mac restarted I was back to the same old problems.

I don't have a second mac to try this one, but is anyone else having trouble
accessing freshly partitioned drives via Finder?

Any help much, much appreciated.

RE: Anyone want to help confirm a bug?

2011-11-27 Thread Bill Holton
Basically, if I partition and format a drive, put it on the desktop and then
try accessing that dirve via command-o VO goes busy and wont stop until I
restart the computer.  I am running a mini server with the latest updates.
I don't have problems with the original pre-iCloud version that came with
the mini.

Hi bill.
tell me step-by-step what you want me to do.
If it  works fine when VO is turned off it is not a Voiceover related
problem though, but of course your backup with time machine should
work just fine.
I have a 20 gb Usbdrive that i am willing to test it on, if you give
me clinical instructions.

Re: Anyone want to help confirm a bug?

2011-11-27 Thread Mr. L. Alexander
can I clarify something please.

1: is the drive an external hard drive?
1 a: if so was it purchased as a complete drive or built by you?
2: are you using firewire or USB?
3: what is the drive partitioned as and what format was used?
4: is the drive itself producing strange noises on occasions?


sorry to ask these, I'm just trying to fathem this issue out. Sometimes the 
finder can hang causing voiceover to lock in "Busy loop

this can be due to an issue with external media and I've come across it.

making notes on i-devices with listrecorde/pear notes/auditorium notes should be great! all comments are very welcome!

2011-11-27 Thread William Windels
Hello,
During a meeting this evening, I was making notes in listrecorder while 
recording the speaker.
I have seen that the record stops when moving between the textfield and the 
record/play/pause buttons. It happens when I came back in the textfield and I 
activate the field with a double tab so that I can move by line.
If I don't do a double tab, I can write but I can't read the written text 
because I hear: " empty textfield".
The problem seems to be solved when I restart voiceover or if I turn off 
quicknav, I can navigate and so I can hear the written text but navigation is 
more difficult then.

Is this a voiceover bug , a bug in listrecorder or something else?
Also, when I use my ipad in landscape mode, listrecorder is always using the 
portrait mode which makes it more difficult to find the buttons on the screen.
The orientation is locked with the physical switch button.

And then a feature request:
At the moment , there are no accessible programs for us like pear note or 
auditorium notes. They use the rtf-layout to write texts and voiceover can't 
handle this very well.
Apple accessibility is not giving any solution to write in rtf-fields on 
iOS-devices.

This programs let you write and record at the same time, like listrecorder is 
doing but, afterwards, you can jump to a moment in the record by activating the 
text you have written on that moment.
So, every time you write something, a kind of bookmark is made in the record.
This is so great to make notes as student and , for this, it would be so great 
if listrecorder should have this feature implemented.

Or, if pear note / auditorium notes could be made accessible on any way , it 
would be great to hear.
  
All comments are very welcome.
kind regards,
William Windels

The reason Voiceover goes a little crazy is two fold.

 

firstly, disk utility is rather intense when it comes to disk management as
it's handling your SATA buses as well as USB and Firewire handling. When you
format an external drive as an example, your USB or firewire BUS is taken
over with that particular instruction, so the CPU is taking up some
resources to manage that process.

 

as regards voiceover, Sometimes the speech synthesis server has a bit of a
wobble. May I ask what version OS you are using at this point? if it's 10.7,
there are a few niggles to be aware of. 10.6, I've noticed a few things but
nothing that restarting voiceover won't harm.

 

I use an external disk destroyer suite / diagnostic interface for managing
drives including partitioning, volume testing, data destruction and disk
aging and it's linked via USB so I can either use it standalone or VIA USB /
firewire with disk utility where needed.

 

just to let you know, don't worry, just quit voiceover and reload it. no
problem.

Bill, this actually does sound really familiar. You say you have been working 
with Apple? If so, I will conduct another test and circle back to you. I think 
this is what I was seeing yesterday, but was attributing it to something else.

Re: text edit find question

Hi Ann,

Your input was invaluable. It works. Thanks a lot. To write text, I am used to 
text edit, well, sort of, but to find text in a large document, I had to fire 
up fusion, then windows, then notepad, then get the documents, find text, and 
shut it all down again. Now that the trick did it, after typing text into the 
search field, what happens when I press enter? Is done the default button and 
will that do the same as find next? In that case, why are there 2 buttons for 1 
thing? Slightly confused on this, but it works now. Would you mind explaining 
why this works?

Paul.

The reason Voiceover goes a little crazy is two fold.

 

firstly, disk utility is rather intense when it comes to disk management as
it's handling your SATA buses as well as USB and Firewire handling. When you
format an external drive as an example, your USB or firewire BUS is taken
over with that particular instruction, so the CPU is taking up some
resources to manage that process.

 

as regards voiceover, Sometimes the speech synthesis server has a bit of a
wobble. May I ask what version OS you are using at this point? if it's 10.7,
there are a few niggles to be aware of. 10.6, I've noticed a few things but
nothing that restarting voiceover won't harm.

 

I use an external disk destroyer suite / diagnostic interface for managing
drives including partitioning, volume testing, data destruction and disk
aging and it's linked via USB so I can either use it standalone or VIA USB /

Re: text edit find question

2011-11-27 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Paul,

Having typed in your search, pressing Return carries out the default action, as 
it does everywhere on the Mac. However, you are still in the Search window, so 
Escape puts you back in the body of the text where the word you were looking 
for is highlighted.

There are often several ways of achieving the same thing on the Mac, you just 
use what suits you.

Anyway, glad to have helped.

Cheers,

Netflicks issue: changing order in queue

2011-11-27 Thread Christine Grassman
Good day/night all. I am hoping someone can assist with a frustrating Netflicks 
issue.
It used to be a siple matter of hitting delete and inputting the number where 
you want to place the movie. However, although hitting "queue move" will take 
whatever movie I am vocusing on to number one in the queue, whenever I interact 
with the movie number edit box, I get tossed out of Netflicks, or nothing at 
all happens. Is there I am doing wrong, or if not, is there a workaround to 
rearrange my queue without having to remove something and then add it again? 
Thanks in advance.

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.


Thanks,

Hi,

Do you use your mini without a monitor? I found that mine did the same thing if

Hi,

I just want to say this book is a great read.  Walter Isaacson did a great job. 
 I thought the book was balance in portraying Jobs good and bad attributes.

I suspect that you are closing the Mail window by accident.  If you press cmd-w 
to close a message, then you may inadvertently close the main Mail window as 
well.  Just press cmd-1 to bring up your InBox if that occurs.

Later...
