RE: Games for Mac and MUD Clients and other little questions of new Apple Eater
I tried TinTin, but it just didn't impress me. How would it be different if the cursors followed each other? For now, I just use Gmud and if I want to play on the mac, I use my bootcamp partitian with windows 7. I did keep tintin around, but it just isn't practical. Atlantis is supposedly accessible, but so far, I haven't heard it say a word. I do like its approach, but it needs to read the output automatically or it just isn't useable. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Greg Aikens Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2012 12:52 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Games for Mac and MUD Clients and other little questions of new Apple Eater I use TinTin mud client to access muds. It's not the best thing in the world but gets the job done, especially if you play with the cursors so they do not follow each other. Also tintin has a nice gag feature so you can easily eliminate unnecessary lines, such as blank lines.

Very true. What I meant was that is the typical corperate answer. We messed up, and we will fix it soon with no date for a fix.

Re: Chrome has become unusable
I am using Chrome with little issues with most websites. However, there are some sites that using Chrome with VO is not an option Maybe this is just one of those cases. At times I find buttons on pages that no matter what, neither VO or Vox works. Chrome, like most of Google's products, still has some issues with accessibility, and going to Google's help desk is the only way to solve it. I know this does not add much, so good luck and it will be interesting to hear the cause and solution.

Re: Netflix forIPhone
ANd that probably is somewhat a true statement. Assuming they get the fix then they have to wait for Apple to approve. I imagine like most larger organizations it will take them time to affect a fix.

Re: Using your air in public.
Hi Vivianna, Alex, Ricardo, Chris, Jane, Garth, Gigi, Emrah, Kawal, and Marc, First off, there is a "Find My Mac" program that is like "Find My iPhone" for iOS devices. You can register your machine for it if you are running Lion, and also have enabled iCloud services. Since I've only migrated to Lion about a month ago, and still need to keep my MobileMe services active for a while more, I can't speak directly about this program. However, I can run "Find My iPhone" even from the MobileMe pages with VoiceOver. It's not as simple as it was with VoiceOver and Safari not upgraded under Snow Leopard, but it's workable for me, so I assume this is also possible for "Find My Mac". (The truly bizarre aspect of this is how much easier it was to use "Find My iPhone" with VoiceOver on version of Leopard -- two versions back -- on a system with OS X 10.5.8 and the latest version of Safari at that time. I switched to one of these machines just to contrast the "Find My iPhone" web experience with VoiceOver, latest Safari, and Lion.) Here's a link to an old New York Times article about "Find My Mac" from last November: http://gadgetwise.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/25/using-apples-find-my-mac-feature/ Use Command-Shift-R to read this in Safari Reader. Secondly, I highly recommend that everyone register their Apple products using the MySupportProfile page: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do This is a personal service that has been around for at least 8 years, and is designed as a way for customers to keep track of their Apple products. It's not the same as warranty registration, although I think you can register products through the MySupportProfile page. This is meant to be a convenient record for you, the customer, so you can input this information at any time. Although it's obviously easiest to put in this information soon after purchase. You log in with your Apple ID and enter the serial numbers for products you own. Once this is in place, you have a permanent record of your serial numbers and product descriptions all in one place. Items can include your Mac computers, iPhones, Apple TVs, AIrport Express units, Time Capsules, etc. What makes this page useful, in addition to keeping a record of your serial numbers, is that there are related support resources. So you can read about the technical specifications for your model of device, find out whether there are firmware updates, find related articles, and also track service case issues. If you give your Mac or iOS device to a relative, or sell it, you can remove the item from the devices that are registered to you, but you can also provide them with details about the exact product they are getting from you. And, if worst comes to worst, and one of your items is misplaced or stolen, you have an accurate record of the serial number and the detailed product description. Understand that the MySupportProfile page is not meant to be a way to make Apple track lost or stolen items. It's a convenient resource for you, the user. The only information that gets added to the pages are for devices whose serial numbers you add. You can find these in your purchase receipts from Apple, or by using the "About this Mac" entry of the Apple menu. (VO-M or Control-F2 to the Apple menu, arrow down to About this Mac, and Navigate with VO-Right arrow to the Version number (e.g. 10.7.3), then VO-Space to cycle through the build to the serial number. You can copy the last phrase to the clipboard with VO-Shift-C, then paste in information anywhere with Command-V.) For those of you using QuickNav, just press Right arrow instead of VO-Right arrow, and select by simultaneously pressing Up and Down arrow keys instead of using VO-Space. And for those of you using TrackPad Commander, use a two-finger double tap near the top of your TrackPad to move to the Apple menu on the menu bar, flick down into to the submenu, then flick down again to "About this Mac" and double tap. In the "About this Mac" window, flick right to the OS version number and double tap until you cycle through to the serial number, Then use VO-Shift-C to copy the serial number information to the clipboard, and paste with Command-V. Keep a bookmark set to the "MySupportProfile" page for easy access. At present, "MySupportProfile" supports entries from the US and Canada, the UK, Germany, Italy, France, and Spain. And in answer to Marc's question, you can use FileVault to encrypt your disk. Here's a link to an Anandtech article about FileVault in Lion. Again, use Command-Shift-R for Safari Reader: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4485/back-to-the-mac-os-x-107-lion-review/17 HTH.

Re: Mac Book Air & cooling fan?
hi. i have noticed my MBA's fan is kicking in much much more these days. started about a week ago. it kicks in when i'm browsing, word processing, or just while the computer is on stand by. this can be on my lap, on a table, on a lap tray. Looking under the activity monitor, the thing that is using the most CPU is Voice Over. is this the same on anyone else's Mac? if it is VO, how come it hasn't done it until now? bit worrying :-( thanks.

Re: Mac Book Air & cooling fan?
Hi Phillipa. this has to me a few times, and when it happens and the fan keeps going, it usually means I had a problem, like the time Finder wouldn't stop being busy. I had to call Apple Care, and we had to reset the fan. I am not sure I can remember how to tell you because it was that real awkward command that takes about ten hands, ha ha. It seemed that way to me when I was doing it.

Re: Need to confirm the number of songs in iTunes library post MusicMatch
The thing is, I fly on long international flights where I need my whole iTunes library available, even when the phone is in Airplane Mode. I don't want to be stuck in a plane and find that some track won't play because there's no web access.
