Re: Switching Between Alex And Nuisance Voices
Did you mean to commit a pun? I do like it. :) Are you talking about Nuance voices? To switch voices, go to the VO utility with VO-f8. Interact with the Speech option in the list and choose from the popup menus which voices you would like to use. If they aren't in the list, choose "customize". Depending on your situation you may have to download a voice, but VO will prompt you for this, and you can use the voice as soon as it's downloaded. hTh, Teresa "Man is matter's ability to contemplate itself."--Albert Einstein On Jan 26, 2012, at 9:34 PM, ezzie bueno wrote: > Hi folks: > > How can I switch to one of the nuisance voices I've set up on my computer for > Spanish?

An Icloud problem.
Hello Everyone. Recently I had to reset my I phone 4S and restored from an I Cloud Backup. Now however, some of my albums which bought from the Itunes store will not play or I can't hear the tracks even though they have been loaded from I Cloud. Even syncing with Itunes does not help although all music is now synced with Icloud rather than Itunes. If some one could tell me what's wrong I'd be grateful. Thank you. Kawal. -- 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.

Re: Can someone teach me about twitter, I am a little new to this
The most important thing is that you're trying. Never forget that. You are doing what people are either not thinking to do or not bothering to do. You are giving people a chance. There are blessings in that. Never forget that. Even in your most discouraging days. I can't tell you how proud I am to get to know you and how much I would love to get to know you more. I am honored to know someone of your character. It's people like you that make me believe in human kindness again. If it weren't for my father I wouldn't have my Mac mini now and I am so grateful for him. My husband Brad and I are very poor, just on the low side of disability and you know what that means, barely scraping by, but we are happy and for the first time in my life, I am in a relationship that I feel truly loved and appreciated. Even valued. That is something I'm still not used to even after a little over two years. My parents didn't show me that self worth so after 36 years I finally am learning that I have worth. It's kind of a strange feeling but I'm slowly getting use to it. I would love to get to know you better. Do you have a family, children, are you married? Do yu have a guide dog? I am proud to know you and I admire you so much. Be blessed my new friend. Jenny and my goofy guide Brooks On Jan 26, 2012, at 2:24 PM, Mr. L.

Re: Can someone teach me about twitter, I am a little new to this
I agree with you Lou. The only reason that I participate on Facebook at all is to watch from afar, my thirteen-year-old son who lives in a different city and who was adopted by my parents. They bullied me into the adoption and now treat me as if I was just the "uterus" from which he came. I have no contact with him so all I can do is watch from afar and pray that he is all right. Not the best situation but it's the best i can do. Jenny and my goofy guide Brooks On Jan 26, 2012, at 3:52 PM, Mr. L. Alexander wrote: > I never understood the point of facebook either. Still don't.

RE: Can someone teach me about twitter, I am a little new to this
I agree with you a zillion percent regarding facebook. I never understood the point of it, and especially when one factors in the accessability issues, it's just a complete waste of time in my opinion. I have an account, but haven't logged in for ages. I think I should just delete it and never give it a second thought. I do like twitter, though.

Re: Can someone teach me about twitter, I am a little new to this
Well, the point of Facebook is the same as the point of Twitter: Sharing what you're doing and keep in touch with your friends. :) I don't like Facebook for lots and lots of reason, but I really like Twitter cause it's simple and accessible. I love how my Mac and iPhone works together with twitter, and I like the fast way to read the news. I haven't got used to all twitters features yet though. If Facebook was more accessible, I might use it just a bit, since all people here in my country use it all the time. Some peoples life is even stored on Facebook and they can't live without it. I wish people here would switch to Twitter or something more accessible, but Facebook is what people enjoy here, because all their friends are on Facebook and just because others enjoy it without many reasons.

Re: Can someone teach me about twitter, I am a little new to this
I honestly couldn't even consider using my iphone for internet use. I don't know, I just feel more comfortable with a keyboard than typing addresses to a touch screen. OK the ipad's pretty decent but again a laptop like my macbook pro does me justice everywhere I am. Twitter to me is a decent tool and I have to admit it's pretty funny too. if you're following someone and they happen to have others with warped or insane humour, it's a good thing so if you need cheering up it's a bloomin good idea. I can't believe the weather here has changed from decent to freezing cold, heavy rain and hail stone. good thing I came home early from a job. lew On 27 Jan 2012, at 15:57, Søren Jensen wrote: > Well, the point of Facebook is the same as the point of Twitter: Sharing what > you're doing and keep in touch with your friends. :) > I don't like Facebook for lots and lots of reason, but I really like Twitter > cause it's simple and accessible.

Re: Can someone teach me about twitter, I am a little new to this
I totally agree. Internet on the iPhone is awesome. I use it every day in different apps. Well this is of course a personal thing, but what is the point of having an iphone without using it on the internet? There's a huge difference between using the phone on websites using Safari and using it on the internet in generel with apps, which would have been off-topic if I didn't mentioned the Twitter app. :) I wish people would stay on-topic instead talking about the weather. Yeah you could tweet that anyway. :) Best regards: Søren Jensen Mail & MSN: s...@coolfortheblind.dk Website: http://www.coolfortheblind.dk/ Den 27/01/2012 kl. 17.12 skrev Kawal Gucukoglu: > Internet on the I phone is Marvelous.

Re: Can someone teach me about twitter, I am a little new to this
I have to get my husband to set my account up through firefox cause they have that captia thing that they can get someone to read it and put it in for you. I'm not good at captious at all. Once that's done, I'll be able to do twitter. Is there any app that you use to use Twitter? I'm going skiing this weekend cause the Lions Club is taking a group of us from our area so I won't be able to write back till Monday but let me now about the app OK? Thanks.

River Bible
Hi all, In my quest to find a good bible app that I felt comfortable with, I have found River Bible. It has a simple interface, that allows you to search, read a selected book, or write journal entries. I'm still playing with it and learning, but it seems nice. I got it from the app store. -- 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.

Nunbers question
Hi guys. I am having to use Numbers for figuring payroll. 1'More going to start February, and I've already got January done.

It showed me a new table, great. But it wouldn't let me interact with the new table. What am I doing wrong? I figured another way to do this, but it has itsdisadvantages.

You can always use a bt keyboard with your iPhone. Its all about practice I guess.

Re: Lion Server
Hey Scott, Yes both server admin and workgroup manager are available as 3rd party iphone/ipad apps from which you can monitor, configure limited ammounts of settings (for server admin) and most importantly quickly and easily create users and groups in the workgroup manager app. This way all is pretty much done remotely and pairing it with server admin on your mac client you basically don't need anything on your server like peripherals.

google imap issue in mail app
Hey list, I thought for a while that this was a lion issue, but after checking my web gmail, i found all of the messages i supposedly deleted on my mac as being stored in its gmail server counterpart. I've set everything so that no copies are stored on the server, but this doesnt change a thing, as locally gmail is becoming a real drag, messages being repeated by voice over all the time as there are lags between when i delete a message locally and the same response on the server, etc etc. The experience is getting nightmarish and random.

good news for Drop box users!!
Okay. I have some good news for those of y'all wondering when Drop Box would improve their accessibility. Under Lion, it is actually possible now to fully access the Drop box prefs menu and windows. Here's what you need to do. 1. In the Voice Over Utilities, make sure you set your mouse to announce when ever it enters a new window. 2. Now, press control+F8 or other wise access the universal prefs window. 3. Now, you want to rout the mouse to the Universal prefs window by using VO+command+F5. 4. Now, move the mouse directly in a straight line leftward until you hear, "Entering Drop Box". Click right there. 5. Now, arrow down till you hear "preferences". Press return here. HTH. Note, this works with the latest version of Drop box which is 2.51. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! Now a very proud and happy Mac user!!!

Re: Audacity or amadeus pro?
Hi Ewoud, There is a lite version and full version of Amadeus Pro in the App store. I would recommend going with the Full version. As you develop your skills you will want more of the functions. I found Amadeus Pro to be a solid reliable program and it was easier to use then Audacity on either the Mac or PC platform. Both programs are good but Amadeus Pro is much easier to use with Voice Over, the functions such as labeling tracks is much easier, and more of the advanced functions are accessible. I hope this recommendation helps.

about the workgroup manager app message for Tim
Hi Tim, You previously mentioned a method to access user preferences in Workgroup manager, which would probably be helpful to SCott's home server endeavor. Can you give us a short how-to? I can't remember the one that was suggested for adding users to groups etc as i now use the iphone app. Best regards, Yuma -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: OCR on the mac
Yes; but I don't like the fact that everything you scan gets uploaded to seretek's server.

RE: OCR on the mac
Hello, For what it's worth, you do have the option to save your scans to Serotek's server, but you can also save them to your computer.

Re: google imap issue in mail app
I haven't, but googling "imap gmail with lion mail" turns up a lot of tutorials on the topic. You should check some out; when I first set mine up, I followed one and have had no duplication or delay problems (except for the usual delay in mail).
