discrepqncy on activities feature

2012-01-07 Thread Yuma Decaux
Hi list,

I was just setting up some performance configurations for two applications i 
use often, applescript editor and preview.

I have two discrepancies going on right now.

I've set a hotspot 2 and monitor hotspot 2 on the result pane in applescript so 
that everytime text changes, it declares it to me without me having to go there.

This doesn't work.

Second discrepancy, i've set two gestures, shift flick left and shift flick 
right, which are particular to both applescript and preview whereas shift flick 
left from within applescript would open preview, and vice versa. However, when 
i assign the custom command/open application/preview, the assign menu pop up 
shows nothing.

Has anyone experienced this?


Best regards


Yuma

Re: Making iPhone remember Bluetooth pairing

2012-01-07 Thread Michael Busboom
Alex and others, I solved the problem in a more or less indirect way.

It turns out that the Bluetooth keyboard apparently doesn't forget the pairing 
code.  If I hit the reset button on the keyboard after turning it on, it works 
fine.  I don't understand why, but I can live with this.

Thank you very much, and we'll consider the problem satisfactorily resolved.

Mike

Re: Making iPhone remember Bluetooth pairing

2012-01-07 Thread Paul Hunt
You want the keyboard to remember the pairing so that it will pair 
automatically when you turn your keyboard on. I had this issue last week. Just 
remember to pair when changing devices.

bootcamp: windows 7 black screen issue

2012-01-07 Thread f10r14n
Hello all,

I want to run windows 7 on my macbook. Take note, i said macbook, so
no macbook pro or mba.
This thing has a core 2 duo 2.4ghz processor and 4 gigs of ram. The
graphics card is nVIDIA GEforce rt320m I believe.
Why this is important will become clear in a second.
I went around bootcamp's back because it messes up what currently is
supposed to be my partition table.
I have an NTFS partition big enoughfor windows 7, an HFS+ partition
for the mac and yet another NTFS for writing files bn Windows. I did
this because I am likely to need more data from my windows side.
This is because I plan to run cakewalk sonar on it, together with a
number of big sample libraries and software synthesizers.
Now to the problem.
The darn thing fights me at every opportunity. I preformatted the
partition as NTFS because windows 7 doesn't automatically reformat a
partition when you select it the way XP does, you have to enter some
sort of custom options screen for that. Me doing this without sighted
assistance for the most part cannot do this so I formatted using disk
utility and the Tuxera utility.
Anyway, until this point everything goes well. I select the partition,
windows is being expanded, but then:
When it tries to reboot into Windows, all I see is a black screen.
Sometimes there's also a blinking cursor.
Researching this issue, I found that this happens on iMacs due to a
video card incompatibility with thbasic windows driver that is
installed for NVIDIA devices.
Checking that folder however there is no default NVIDIA driver, and
placing said driver into the correct folder yields no results.
I have tried this a few times now, even using 2 different DVD's. I
haven't checked if it did at first, but now the partition where
Windows has been expanded does not show up as a bootable partition in
system preferences -> Startup Disk.
I can however select it when holding down option during boot. That is,
I can see the screen go dark, like Windows on a mac always does. The
thing is that xp used to make the screen glow after that, but with 7
this does not happen.

If anyone has a clue on how to fix this, please let me know.

Florian

Command f5 problem

2012-01-07 Thread Bill Holton
Hi.

Suddenly my Command f5 stopped working.  It won't turn VO off and on.  I
have tried with two different keyboards, and with the Apple Bluetooth
keyboard I have tried both with and without holding down the FN key.

When I do a VO-k keyboard command pressing all the other keys describes the
key press and the vo function.  But when I press command f5 and command f8
it simply repeats the key names.  I can't find anywhere where I may have
changed or disabled these commands.  I have keyboard commander turned off,
as a matter of fact.  Any thoughts appreciated.

Bill

Re: Command f5 problem

2012-01-07 Thread Mr. L. Alexander
by the sound of it, you may have accidentally turned on keyboard learning. 
Well... at least sounds that way.

off the top of my head, my advice here would be to restart the system and see 
if voiceover defaults. if not then lets do some further investigation.

Hi Bill!
I do not know if the lay out is different but under snowy kitty!
In system pref's under keyboard and then keyboard shortcuts tab you will find 
in the table of categories universal access then next to that in the table of 
commands at the end should be the command+f5 selector just check if that has 
become unchecked!
And if so re checking it should solve that!

Everything else works fine.  As a matter of fact, I am replying to this message 
from the mini.  Safari started acting funny, busy, refresh, busy, refresh, so I 
figured I'd shut down and restart VO.  That's when I learned I could no longer

Did check quick nav, it is off.

 Firstly, how much zoom do you use? I will regularly jump up to around 30 
 times depending upon what I am doing. The max zoom on the Mac currently is 
 20 times. Add to this the minimal colour options. Normal or reverse video, 
 no brightness inversion or other more advance colour management in the 
 zoom option. I should say that there is also contrast control.
 
 I have also come across an extremely annoying bug when using VO with Zoom. 
 You can't navigate the menu bar properly with the keyboard. It can be done 
 with the track pad or by turning down the zoom level though. There are 
 also a couple of keyboard shortcut conflicts between zoom and VO. .
 
 I have basically given up on using the Zoom component on the Mac. I will 
 qualify this a bit as not to mislead. I didn't plan on using zoom that 
 much and so bought an 11inch rather than the 13inch MBA. However I did get 
 a connector to hook it up to my 32 inch TV and have probably only done 
 this once or twice.
 
 You can tell by the fact that I often use the zoom at 30 times that my 
 vision is on the low side of usable :)  I am using JAWS with Zoomtext on 
 the PC. I also have MAGic but prefer Zoomtext. I haven't had the stability 
 issues you describe with Zoomtext.
 
 The thing I most love about my mac is the physical hardware it's self. I 
 would often prefer to browse the web on my iPad.
 
 Good luck with your choice.
 
 Garth

Re: status menu trick not working

2012-01-07 Thread Ricardo Walker
Right,

and your saying, voiceover reads the 3rd party icon in the status bar when the 
mouse pointer is over it?  Now, I haven't tried this in a while but, I remember 
this not being the case.  It might have reported Apple icons like time machine 
and wifi etc, but not 3rd party icons.

Re: iMatch - Removing Music

2012-01-07 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi Neil,

Let me clarify a few things first.  It simply replaces the iTunes Library 
database so that it reflects the iTunes Library that you've synced to the 
iTunes Match service from your computer.  So, you'll see the "iCloud Download" 
button beside items that were originally on your iPhone as well as ones you've 
listened to that your iPhone downloaded.

The deleting process I've found to be awkward as it works sometimes and 
sometimes you have to try it numerous times.  The key though is to make sure 
that the song you wish to remove does not have the play focus.  that is, when 
VO reads the title of the song along with the artist and such, it will say 
"playing" if it is the play targeted song.  Simply double-tap another song then 
pause it so that you can act on the one you wish to delete.  To delete it:

• Double-tap and hold until you hear the blip blip sound then lift your finger.
• Double-tap and hold again until the blip blip sound then swipe right or left. 
 I usually swipe right but it seems to work either way.
• swipe right again and a "Confirm Deletion" button will be there if it worked.
• Double-tap on the "confirm Deletion" button and the song will be removed from 
your iPhone.

This process works but sometimes I had to do things five or six times before it 
did what it was supposed to.  I didn't find a consistent pattern although going 
to the top or bottom of the list seemed to do something one time.  Other times 
it didn't right away.  If you or someone else figures out the exact thing to 
make it work every time, let me know.

Have a good one.

Later...


1.  the iTunes Match service does not actually remove the songs that you have 
on your iPhone when it is first set up.

Managing lists in YoruFukouru

2012-01-07 Thread Shannon Curry
I'm trying to keep my twitter lists up to date using Yoru Fukouru. But I can't 
seem to figure out how I add people to lists I've already created.

Is there a way to deal with lists through that interface, or do I need to go to 
the website to add people to my lists? If so… where exactly do I go?

Thanks!

RE: bootcamp: windows 7 black screen issue

2012-01-07 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Florian,  

You wrote:  
"... I went around bootcamp's back..."

Bad idea.  Florian, I Have successfully installed Windows 7 via BootCamp on
several MacBooks (Not MacBook Pros), although it has been quite some time
since doing so.  Nevertheless, in each case, I followed the BootCamp
installation instructions to the letter said instructions being extremely
specific in how to accomplish the task.

So, I respectfully suggest that you do the same; in short, let BootCamp do
what it is designed to do.  

Most Sincerely,

Mark

Subject: bootcamp: windows 7 black screen issue

Hello all,

I want to run windows 7 on my macbook. Take note, i said macbook, so no
macbook pro or mba.
This thing has a core 2 duo 2.4ghz processor and 4 gigs of ram. The graphics
card is nVIDIA GEforce rt320m I believe.
Why this is important will become clear in a second.
I went around bootcamp's back because it messes up what currently is
supposed to be my partition table.
I have an NTFS partition big enoughfor windows 7, an HFS+ partition for the
mac and yet another NTFS for writing files bn Windows. I did this because I
am likely to need more data from my windows side.
This is because I plan to run cakewalk sonar on it, together with a number
of big sample libraries and software synthesizers.
Now to the problem.
The darn thing fights me at every opportunity. I preformatted the partition
as NTFS because windows 7 doesn't automatically reformat a partition when
you select it the way XP does, you have to enter some sort of custom options
screen for that. Me doing this without sighted assistance for the most part
cannot do this so I formatted using disk utility and the Tuxera utility.
Anyway, until this point everything goes well. I select the partition,
windows is being expanded, but then:
When it tries to reboot into Windows, all I see is a black screen.
Sometimes there's also a blinking cursor.
Researching this issue, I found that this happens on iMacs due to a video
card incompatibility with thbasic windows driver that is installed for
NVIDIA devices.
Checking that folder however there is no default NVIDIA driver, and placing
said driver into the correct folder yields no results.
I have tried this a few times now, even using 2 different DVD's. I haven't
checked if it did at first, but now the partition where Windows has been
expanded does not show up as a bootable partition in system preferences ->
Startup Disk.
I can however select it when holding down option during boot. That is, I can
see the screen go dark, like Windows on a mac always does. The thing is that
xp used to make the screen glow after that, but with 7 this does not happen.

If anyone has a clue on how to fix this, please let me know.

Florian

My only problem is that I have seen an app prove this person wrong.
When I use Read2Go on my iPod 4th gen, it nearly always gives me a low
memory warning. If I then go through my app switcher and take out
everything, Read2Go once again runs fine. If what the blogger says is
true, then it should not matter what is in my app switcher, yet it
seems to matter very much.

Re: Switching to a Mac from PC

2012-01-07 Thread Eric Oyen
well,
in this case, I disagree. the tool is only useful if one can use it. Firefox is 
a fine browser (works well with ORCA in linux) but the folks at mozilla Inc. 
didn't want to support more than one version. I came up with a solution that 
involves having a few custom tags in the configure and compile scripts. all 
they would have to do is use a --include= argument to include the proper 
library files for core audio and accessible buttons/pane libs. this way, they 
can compile 3 versions (OS X, Linux and windows) and not have a completely 
separate compiler source tree. now, I am not a programmer, but I do have 
experience with troubleshooting program source errors (like missing libs, 
etc.).

 I fully agree.
 
 the trick of IT is getting the balance right. There are things windows can 
 do that mac does differently and things that windows can't offer directly 
 that mac does. each screen reader offers different levels of support and 
 interoperability between OS and applications.
 
 For me, I've worked between windows, Mac OSS both old and X versions and 
 linux. each OS and screen reader can offer different functionality. each 
 has their strengths and weaknesses. Though I firmly stick to my mac and 
 voiceover, I still have to work on occasions with windows. now more than 
 ever with the use of adaptive hardware for system repairs and testing.
 
 so it's back to either jaws or window eyes or something like that to do 
 what I need to do on a windows notebook.

Yes. With something like readToGo, it definitely matters. If I have more than a 
couple of things in the app switcher, I get the low memory warning when running 
ReadToGo. Once I clear the switcher, the app runs just fine.

Re: Fraser Speirs - Blog - Misconceptions About iOS Multitasking

2012-01-07 Thread Teresa Cochran
I can definitely see the point the blogger raises about apps not sucking up CPU 
usage and battery life. However, I think that many blind people tend to use a 
good number of background apps at once. I use Awareness!, Music, and VO at 
once, and I'm sure that takes up a lot of memory. This might be an exception 
that proves the rule. I have never thought to wipe all the apps from the app 
switcher, though. When IOS started implementing "multitasking", this word was 
always put in quotes with a lot of grumbling from a lot of folks, saying that 
it wasn't "real multitasking". So, yes, I will be aware of the number of 
potential background apps I run, but won't go through and clear everything 
manually.

Re: Fraser Speirs - Blog - Misconceptions About iOS Multitasking

2012-01-07 Thread Sean Murphy
Hi,

The blogger is correct in relation to OS on smart phones. If an app reports 
straight away it doesn't have enough memory. Then either there is a memory leak 
in that app or some other problem in relation to the app not reporting 
correctly to the OS.

You are hitting a bug, not a miss explanation of the OS handling of apps.

Dvd remaster pro can do the job for you. It is not free but it works great and

You can also do this using "hand break" but then you need some other utility to

Hi,

 

I'll have to check out that app. Thanks!

Hello. 

Dvd remaster pro can do the job for you. It is not free but it works great
and is accessible. 

You can also do this using "hand break" but then you need some other utility
to bypass the css protection found on Dvds. 

 

Regards.

Hello,

 

Has anyone had any experience with ripping DVDs they own for streaming from

want to purchase them again through iTunes.

Any responses back would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Switching to a Mac from PC

2012-01-07 Thread Sean Murphy
Hi chuck,

I think people have missed the main point of your message and have gone on a 
tangent which isn't what you were asking.

Large (magnification) on the Mac is very good from my understanding. You can 
quickly change the size of the font. But I do not know what the feature 
differences between Zoomtext and Mac Magnification. Only think I do know is 
that it is very feature reach.

Web development and other like presentation tools under the Mac is very feature 
reach.

Here are the main differences between ZoomText and Zoom on the Mac.  Zoom on 
the mac doesn't offer windowed or partial screen magnification as ZoomText 
Does, though to It's benefit, it does offer several tracking options of how the 
screen moves with the pointer.  I use Continuous mode.  and of Course there is 
keyboard tracking as well.   Like ZT, there is also font smoothing.  Zoom does 
not have the doc reader app, but will happily move along with VoiceOver as VO 
reads text.  Zoom can quickly change magnification with ctrl+ 2 finger up/down 
on the trackpad, which I find is just as handy as using the wheel on a mouse.

What's Up With Facebook?

Hello folks:

I use to be able to tag people successfully on Facebook by 
inserting the AT symbol in front of a person's name.  However, 
when I try to do that now, the list of suggested names and pages 
no longer pops up.  Did FB change something again?

Hi all,

Sorry about the multiple or redundent messages.  I recently got my 4S and I was 
trying out using the dictation feature on it.  I didn't think the first message 
went through to the list here, but obviously I was wrong.  And now you are 
saying, you had to post a third time about this?  Yep?  I was so enamored  over 
the I-Phone, I forgot to tell you guys that I was talking about looking for a 
Bible app for my I-phone 4S.

Does anyone know about this app and it's accessibility or lack thereof?

Thank you,

Johnny

RE: Switching to a Mac from PC

2012-01-07 Thread M. Taylor
Hello All,

I think I missed the genesis of this thread; but, as for zoom on the Mac
versus Zoomtext for Windows, Zoomtext is far superior.  This truly saddens
me as, were they equal or more closely matched, I would use my Mac even more
than I currently do.  

I have been lobbying AI Squared, the makers of Zoomtext, to port ZT over to
the Mac.  I hope, someday, that it will.  

I do not fault Apple for this as Apple is an OS developer where as AI
Squared is a screen magnification company.   I am certain that if Apple were
primarily a screen magnification company it would be the best on the planet.

Re: Switching to a Mac from PC

2012-01-07 Thread Louie P. (Pete) Nalda
Just out of curiosity, can you name other areas of superiority of ZoomText over 
Zoom besides what I've mentioned?  And do you think maybe these extra features 
add to the instability problems the OP mentions?  I'm just curious, as Zoom 
does seem to run very flawlessly on the mac, limitations aside. And you don't 
have to pay $150 for upgrades every time the browser or OS is updated (I'm only 
stating what the Original poster said earlier).  I think knowing what features 
ZT has that people want could help the folks at apple know how they can best 
improve Zoom.  Myself, I never really miss the features I had with ZT and 
Windows.  I get very close using Zoom and VO together on my Mac.  Ymmv.

2012-01-07 Thread Jürgen Fleger
Hi Folkes,

in Pages there is an option what allows to show changes in a document by 
others. For a discription I need the correct term of that option in an english 
Pages. When I translate literaly from my german Pages it should be called as 
"protocol of changes" or "change protocol" or similar.

Could you pleas provide me with the correct term? It's in the edit menue.

Thanks and all the best
Jürgen

peopel discussing it here before, but I don't think that topic was
