Re: High contrast on and off?
Hi there! Yes there is a con flicked! But it is with the Hotspots that command if you have a hotspot set at number 8 or any other will Describes the item at that hot spot! Also I have found that the command to switch from one to the other is unchecked in Keyboard shortcuts in the main Keyboard settings in system pref's! Under universal access in the table of categories! I do not have this turned on myself and I suppose if you check it on, as long as you do not set a hot spot at 8 it will work for you! hth Colin On 5 Apr 2012, at 05:17, Chris Blouch wrote: > I think this conflicts with voiceover which grabs anything with a > control+option combo.

Re: Text edit and Lion
Hi a.m. Actually, it hasn't been happening for me either if I decide not to save changes to do command W if I have already saved the file with Phylbeck. I noticed that if I haven't yet saved it and I do command W, then I do get the option to save or not. Is it I have something in system press preferences?

Re: Text edit and Lion
Hi Veronica Pages does something different then TextEdit. Pages makes a backup file that actually says back up before the name of your file in it. This has saved me a few times. I also got myself a drive that would work with Time Machine. Time machine is a program that does automatic backups every hour if you wanted to. Apple recommended that I get a terabyte drive, even though they said I didn't need something that big right now, it would give me anfor a long time to come. I really like using Time Machine.

Re: Braille displays
Hi guys It made me laugh to hear you guys talking about carrying those braille displays around, and the laptops. This is because, I used to carry around and Kappel Apple 2E in a backpack, together with the two disk drives. My dog and I used it to go zapping down Gaston Avenue carrying a backpack, that is I carried a backpack. I used to always carry around the tape-based person braille in a backpack too. We sure have come along way. I'm very glad I don't have to carry all that around these days. To make this discussion of mine or related to our topic, I have a question concerning iOS 5.1 Enbrel's place. What is the best way to read DRF files? I seem to remember we had a discussion on this before, but I can't find that discussion. On the Mac, I use TextEdit if I need to read it on the computer. Then, I have to do a transformation to change all the Brille to lowercase. For some reason that I don't understand, all the BRF files I get display in all caps. in. It's no big deal to change it in TextEdit, but I wonder how that's handled on an iPad?

Re: Braille displays
Hi again guys. Forgot to ask another question, and maybe you guys don't know. Does anybody know how I could get an iPad and a Focus 40 Blue in the same room at the same time without spending $2800 first? The Federation is coming to Dallas this year, and I am thinking about going to Louisville. I know these exhibit halls are not the best environment when you want to play around with something, but it may be the best shot I've got. A person at the Apple store here said I could bring in a braille display and pair it with an iPad if I wanted. He was horrified when I told him I would probably have to spend $2800 first.

Re: Braille displays
Hi, I suggest contacting your nearest reseller or rehab service provider. They should have a demo unit and sometimes they are generous in lending it. Or they may have a demo bluetooth braille display and and IPad so you can walk in and see it. I would do the demo myself if you were local, but I can tell you right now it works a treat. I'm not a huge fan of the focus blue, but i've got a client who has one. He's deaf-blind and he's using his ITouch and his focus display as a communication aid. Best, Erik Burggraaf Ebony consulting is pleased to offer the Comtech KDB300 omnidirectional bluetooth barcode scanner as part of our new product family. Pre-order before Friday, april 13th, and save $30 off the msrp of $599.99. Order two or more on the same order and get the sale price plus free shipping in North america.

Re: Braille displays
hi guys, I didn't ever have the lap top just the old apple 2 e and I just had to cary the perkins from class to class in middle and high school until I went to overbook. Then I had the computer and the braille window, I loved that display even though it was big and the braille lite 40 which I really didn't think was that great. I am really curious how you read BRF files as well, what if you want to read them with braille and VO? What do you use for Mac with Lion.

Re: Braille displays
Hi Erik. On the Mac, I can't figure out how, if there is a way, to turn off and on the displaying of control characters and still remain in computer braille. If you turn off dots 7 and 8, then you're not in computer braille any more. You're either in grade 1 or grade 2. This is an option I would like to be able to turn on and off. The displaying of the characters take up space which puts text in the wrong place on the display. This would not be problem if I were just reading; I'm doing proofreading, so sometimes it interferes with knowing where a word is really on the braille line. I need to see how this works on an iPad. Is it the same?

Re: Braille displays
You can use Safari to read Braille files, although they're displayed in eight-dot Braille. I've gotten used to the uppercase characters. Filer also works for downloading files from NLS Web Braille. It uses webkit as Safari does, although it kind of has a tricky learning curve.

Re: Braille displays
hey Becky, there are a lot of different ways to read braille, on the mac, using lion or snow leopard which I use at work, so it's a matter of personal preference. I use a refreshabraille on both my Ipad and now my mac, since it is interchangeable, but i have a focus 40 blue that I use on occasion that the state bought me for work, but I prefer the refreshabraille over that because of its size and the keyboard isn't as clunky as on the focus, but I digress. There are a lot of ways to translate files to read but it won't read straight brf files, you haveto translate them into epub files that willbe recognized by Itunes if you do it on anIdevice or translated into text to read on thedesktop, but it canbe done. If you have any questions about this let me know as I am a strong braillereader and was a little aggravated when Iwent apple until I found a work-around. but, like I said, it'sall a matter of personal preference as to what Sent from my iPad On Apr 5, 2012, at 7:17 AM, Becky Knaub wrote: > hi guys, > I didn't ever have the lap top just the old apple 2 e and I just had to cary > the perkins from class to class in middle and high school until I went to > overbook.

Questions
Is the ViPhone list gone Tried to send an email but it didn't get sent, so I'll ask my question here. I have a sighted friend who we are trying to convince to get an iPhone, but this is what he needs: An app that will automagically sync all of his Google calendars onto the phone--he should not have to hand-type each entry in. Then, it has to ring for each event, and the text has to remain on the screen till he dismisses it. He has very busy calendars, but he needs these reminders. Is this possible? Price is not an issue.What apps could he use? Names and links and brief descriptions welcome. Please email me off-list so we don't clutter this one with stuff others may not want.

What's new in List Recorder 2.3 podcast
Hello Listers, This is probably more appropriate for the viPhone list, but I'm not sure my messages are getting through over there. Can't see my messages or replies for the past 3 days or so. Below is a ;podcast that lives at applevis.com. It is a short review of the new features in List Recorder 2.3. It is the same info I posted in writing some time ago. I learn best from podcasts so I made this for those who might find it useful. This is not designed for a new user of List recorder. For podcasts like that go to sixthmode.com.

Re: lion mail layout messages marked as read as I pas through them?
No signature seen here. Iona, I also have this same problem. Having the checkbox unchecked for threaded mail does help but you're right; it still marks them as read when you cursor by the single messages. I have number of preview lines set to None but still have the problem. When I asked about this some time ago on another list, it had been suggested that I use classic mode. Not sure I want to go that route and besides, it still marked messages read as I went by them so I find myself sticking to mutt on my linux box but that's hardly the solution here. Another thing I have done which keeps mail from being marked read is to turn off the VO cursor tracking with BO-Shift-F3 and use VO - arrow keys to scroll down the list and hear the subject fields and I think most of the time, hear the message status flags too. But then you would have to bring the live cursor down to catch up with VO and proceed the ones you want. Again, this is also quite awkward. I would be interested in more ideas to deal with mail on Lion. I think in the Apple world, the mail app on the iPod is better than the one found on the mac.

Re: Braille displays
I suppose, the only real personal loan is the credit card, unless one could put it on another home mortgage, but renters don't have that option. I was looking into it once, and at around $100 to $150 a month, one would probably still pay close to the old prices for a braille display. For some, saving could be worse than having the loan to pay down. - Original Message - From: Eugenia Firth To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2012 5:52 AM Subject: Re: Braille displays Hi again guys. Forgot to ask another question, and maybe you guys don't know. Does anybody know how I could get an iPad and a Focus 40 Blue in the same room at the same time without spending $2800 first? The Federation is coming to Dallas this year, and I am thinking about going to Louisville. I know these exhibit halls are not the best environment when you want to play around with something, but it may be the best shot I've got. A person at the Apple store here said I could bring in a braille display and pair it with an iPad if I wanted. He was horrified when I told him I would probably have to spend $2800 first.

Then, I have to do a transformation to change all the Brille to lowercase. For some reason that I don't understand, all the BRF files I get display in all caps. in.

Re: Text edit and Lion
Hi Anne! I will check the setting in the voiceOver utility to see how they're set. But I am talking about opening a file within TextEdit. I'm just following along with the mp3 tutorials that David Woodbridge did, although Lion wasn't out yet when he did them. In his demo, when he finished writing in the sample practice file, he just quit the application with Command Q, without closing the window first. I'll try that and see if it responds differently. I did find something online that talked about how if you didn't want to save something in Lion, you have to go to the tool bar and find a previous version and save yourself that way. I've also just learned that it locks files if you don't open them for a certain period and that this preference can be changed in Time Machine. So I guess I'm about to learn Time Machine. I'm just not used to so many things being done for my own good without my knowledge. Wow! Thanks.

Re: Text edit and Lion
Hi Veronica. The reason that text edit isn't bringing up the save dialog when you quit it, is because of versions. If you want this to come up, press command S or close the window containing the document. This is a feature to help people who have a bad habit of closing things and not saving them, only to come back and say, "Where did my work go?" HTH, Matthew Campbell.

Re: Text edit and Lion
Hello Veronica, Quite a lot has changed from Snow Leopard to Lion. One of the most annoying is that, by default, windows left open are not closed when you quit an application. You can change this behaviour in System Preferences. Go to the General pane and look for the check box labelled Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps and uncheck it. A quick way to find this is to use the Item Chooser (VO-i) and type res to select only phrases containing that string. Press Return to have VO go to the selected item.

Re: Iphone 5.1 question

Re: Text edit and Lion
Okay, continuing. First, I did double-check my settings in the navis indeesection of the VoiceOver utility and it is indeed set to keyboard focus. Here's what happens when I open a file in Text edit. First I open the application. I'm beginning to think I should just go in through the documents folder. Anyway, I hit command-O. The first thing I hear is, plain text encoding. I then move with Vo-right-arrow and hear, forward. Then I reach a series of radio buttons, of which list view is the selected one. Then I reach arrange, menu button. Then I reach a popup button which used to say documents. But last time I was in, it changed to downloads. I pressed vo-space on this button and found my user folder as a choice but not documents. So I selected that. Continuing to move right, I pass search and a side bar table and eventually find the list view table, which does seem to contain my documents. Eventually I find my practice document and enter on it. So, I tried adding some text to it and then closing the document with Command-W. It just saved with no possibility of choosing a don't save option. So it looks like only with a new or untitled document do I get that option when using Command-W. Boy, it just seems like I'll fill up my drive with a zillion versions of my file. I then managed to sort of stop interacting with my text and use vo-left-arrow to work my way back to a versions button. I find a browse all versions button but can't figure out how to get to those versions. Hmmm, truly puzzled. Thanks so much.

Re: help with video
Sounds like you still have high contrast mode or inverse colors turned on when playing video. Unlike Windows, Mac HC mode is implemented on the video card so everything gets treated the same way, including whatever video you are playing.

Re: Text edit and Lion
Hi, this is because text edit is opening with no document. So, if you want a new document, press command N. If you want to brows and open an existing document, at launch of text edit, you should be placed into the browser. if you press the down arrow, this should be confirmed.

Re: stanza for the Mac.
Hi Ricardo, Are you sure that you're using the correct download link on the CNet download page? Try going to: http://download.cnet.com/Stanza/3000-2056_4-198177.html Then make sure you use the link that VoiceOver identifies as "Download Now CNET Secure Download" to start your download. One of the nuisances about the download.com pages is that there are multiple items labeled as "download" links on each page, and they point to downloads for other items. I just checked that this works, and that the resulting download does open up correctly. Lexcycle's home pages have been off line since November 2011, slightly after their final update release of Stanza for iOS 5, so you can't go there for the downloads of Stanza Desktop for either the Mac or Windows any more. Sites that point to the source link, such as MacUpdate, won't work. On the Windows side there are more alternate sources, but the softonic pages seem to be a reasonable choice for Stanza desktop: http://stanza-desktop.en.softonic.com/download I was going to put this information into a comment on the AppleVis site, along with some information on how to navigate, but just never had the time to complete my draft. I assume you're going to use this for file format conversions, which is what the app was primarily designed for, as well as an uploader for the Stanza iOS app. You can use it to read ePub, but there are some focus issues. Like, if you if you try to use the bookmarks function to move to a page, you need to move to the first visible item with VO-Command-Home in order to start reading at the first paragraph on that page. Most of the web navigation commands can be used (enabling the 1 letter navigation feature in VoiceOver Utility for QuickNav is useful), and navigation by headers works well. You can navigate by paragraph, line, sentence, word, character, etc. Hope you're not planning on using this as an ePub reader, because while it's doable if you take time to work through the focus quirks, I find the experience annoying, so for straight text reading (not interacting to review text) Adobe Digital Editions Preview 1.8 is better, or even the new paid app, Bookle, in the App Store, which is still somewhat primitive. (You don't have to press an arrow key to read the next page, the way you currently do in Adobe Digital Editions Preview, but it's irritating that, for example, you can't move back from the start of a chapter to the last page in the previous chapter with one key press -- you get taken to the start of the previous chapter.)

Re: Text edit and Lion
Hello Veronica, It's best to start from the document rather than the application. Find your document and press Cmd-o and when VoiceOver says "Edit text", interact and all the VoiceOver commands will work. However, before trying that, open System Preferences and go to the General pane and uncheck that check box I told you about. It will make your life easier.

Yes, you can copy the folders you mentioned in your original post, to a Windows computer; doing this will allow the Windows version of iTunes, assuming that you point iTunes to the correct .I T L file, to display your library as saves before the copy. 2. Using the method you proposed, you will have two copies of the same library that will very soon become out of sync. Unless you wish to engage in a world of repetitive copying I would not suggest this method for live multi-platform iTunes Library synchronization. 3. I do think your idea is great if you wish to merely get a familiar library structure up and running quickly. This would permit you to practice your Windows iTunes skills without running the risk of damaging your original Mac iTunes Library. 4. Given the method you described, in which you have a copy of the Mac iTunes Library on your Windows computer, you will have to manually select, each time you connect your iOS device to its adjacent platform, whether or not to make it the primary syncing platform. Should you do this, the entire Library on the selected platform will be copied, one file at a time, back to the iOS device. Depending on the size of your Sync selection, this could take quite some time. I do not recommend this. 5. It is possible to configure a home network, with an iTunes library stored on a NAS (network attached storage) to use either a Windows PC or Mac to view and interact with the same Library. This is to say, anything you do on one platform would be reflected in the other given that they are both pointing to the same Library. This would also have the advantage of allowing you to attach your iOS device to either in order to seamlessly sync. This is the current configuration I now enjoy; however, it does require an advanced understanding of the iTunes environment and connection protocols. Good Luck, Mark -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Erkens Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2012 8:08 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: itunes for windows: getting to know it with my mac apple ID Dear listers, Having been a satisfied mac user for some 2 years now, I haven't yet used itunes on windows so far. A lot of friends do not have a mac though, but they do have a windows box. When folks get a new iphone, I can help them set it up, but I don't know anything about itunes in windows. I do know enough about windows in general, but not about windows itunes. I would like to get to know the windows itunes experience, so that I can walk someone through it while on skype or facetime. While playing with windows itunes, I would like it to contain the same items as my library on the mac. Can I painlessly copy all items from the mac itunes library, over to windows, by simply copying the entire music/itunes/itunes media folder from the mac, over to windows, by dropping it into the automatically import into itunes folder inside documents and settings? Once all mac itunes library items are also present under windows, is it safe to sync my iphone with windows, without loosing stuff, or is itunes life more complicated than this?

RE: High contrast on and off?

Chat client that works with Office 2007
Folks, Our organization is still mainly windows-bound and a number of my coworkers use Microsoft Messenger (I think that is what it is called) some instant chat client that is bundled with the Office 2007 suite. I wanted to find something that would work on the Mac platform. The clowns at our IT helpless desk suggested I use Adium and Jabber, but that does not help me communicate with my coworkers who are clearly not using Jabber. THoughts?

Re: stanza for the Mac.
Hi Ricardo, OK, here's the link to the Stanza.dmg file that I used to install Stanza desktop on a 13" MacBook Air running Lion, OS X 10.7.3: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/460554/Stanza.dmg It shows up under Mission Control right after my Dropbox installation, which I think was done in mid-February. Had to do all these from scratch on a new machine, because my MacBook Pro went in for service, and I thought it would be easier to start fresh instead of using Migration Assistant from a cloned backup. So the download came from the CNet site. I had no trouble opening up the duplicate download that I just tried, following the outlined instructions. (Of course, I didn't try to install the program again.) I haven't yet applied the latest java updates from software update, but that's the only difference I can think of, apart from possible machine architecture. Try this, and let me know what happens. I probably won't keep the link active very long, because I prefer to direct people to the original source for programs that are available.

Re: Text edit and Lion
Hi Ann, The problem is that regardless of whether the box is checked or not in System Preferences, when you go to shut down or restart under Lion, the Windows checkbox is checked. I confirmed this behavior after speaking with an Apple rep. He stated, and it is apparently the case, that one has to uncheck this box every time you shut down or restart Lion. This might be why I have the problem of VO not talking at system startup without bringing focus to the Finder.

Re: quick Numbers question
Hi Ricardo and others. I realize, Ricardo, that you were asking a somewhat different question, one I would like to know myself. But I thought I would share some information that you might run into. I did. For those of y'all who are using Numbers, I just turned in an little bug to Apple, and I got back a message saying they sent it off resolution. I had asked, on this list, about a command to go to the bottom of a file in Numbers with the keyboard. I was using, Anne I think you said the command, control option fn shift right arrow. This is because I have a Mac Book Pro so I had to put in the fn key. I didn't think it was used that way, but I did the command and it worked fine, until one fine day I forgot to press the shift key. The minute i didn't put the shift key in there, Numbers went into busy mode and wouldn't come out of it without a force quit. It also turned the fan on and got my keyboard a little warm. I just thought I'd pass along a little warning here. I like Numbers, like it better than than excel which I really hate, since half the time I can't remember the commands.

Re: stanza for the Mac.
Thanks Esther, Now I'm at a complete loss. The app still won't open. The first time I ran the app, it said I needed to download Java run time, so I did. The installation was successful. Then the app wouldn't launch. It doesn't show up in the app switcher. When I press command tab, I hear it say stanza and when I go to force quit, its in the table saying not responding.

Hi Veronica, Well, if I have the restore Windows at startup option checked, I'm now getting speech.

Re: Braille displays
I realize it isn't like trying it yourself, but I can tell you that I was just using my Focus 40 Blue from my desk at work with the iPad in our technology resource center today, and even demoed using it with a deaf-blind client. It works very well. I have to tell you as a totally blind person my personal preference is to use my iPhone over the iPad, but that is personal preference and it doesn't mean that I am trying to tell you to get an iPhone instead. I just find that because of the way icons are place on the iPad screen it can be a bit more confusing to use the iPad as oposed to the iPhone for the totally blind user. But, that has nothing to do with using the Focus Blue with the iPad. That experience is equally as good with the iPad or iPhone. - Original Message - From: Eugenia Firth To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2012 5:52 AM Subject: Re: Braille displays Hi again guys. Forgot to ask another question, and maybe you guys don't know. Does anybody know how I could get an iPad and a Focus 40 Blue in the same room at the same time without spending $2800 first? The Federation is coming to Dallas this year, and I am thinking about going to Louisville. I know these exhibit halls are not the best environment when you want to play around with something, but it may be the best shot I've got.

Re: stanza for the Mac.
Hi Ricardo, I've come up with something else for you to try. Some time in Snow Leopard, Apple stopped supplying the default Java libraries. I've checked under my System Information, and I have a separate installation of Java Preferences (version 14.1.0) installed on my Mac. I installed this separately (maybe before even trying Stanza). I don't remember whether I rebooted after installing, but the symptoms you describe sound as though either Java runtime download and installation was problematic, or that it didn't take effect as far as the system was concerned. Try the following: 1) Use Command-Shift-U in Finder to go to your "Utilities" folder, and then press "j" to navigate to "Java Preferences" 2) Open "Java Preferences" with Command-Down arrow 3) If Java is not installed, you should get the error message: "To open "Java Preferences," you need a Java runtime. Would you like to install one now?" 4) If you click on the "Install" button Java runtime should be installed. OK, here's the kicker. I now remember that there's an accessibility issue in being able to view the entries in the "Java Preferences" menu on the General tab (that you get on opening). If you navigate with VoiceOver, you get a message, "Java applications, applets, and command line tools use this order to determine the first compatible version to use." Then you navigate to a place that says "Scroll area", and next "Drag to change the preferred order". If you interact with scroll area, you get an announcement about "empty table". You can screen capture the window, and send it to ABBYY FineReader Express to OCR the content, but that's scarcely acceptable. What you should find listed (from external documentation) are two items for Java SE 6, with the first item listing a 64-bit CPU type item, and the second item listing a 32-bit CPU type item, both for (currently) version 1.6.0_29-b11-402. Since you can't view these listed items with VoiceOver, you also can't do anything about re-arranging their order in the table (that appears empty to VoiceOver). I recall encountering this problem with Java libraries back in Leopard. Is it possible that you're running in 32-bit mode? If so, that could explain the problems. If you don't have Java runtime installed, or if you are using a version that is not appropriate to your machine, you'll get all the problems that you listed when trying to use an application that requires it: 1. Failures to launch 2. Prompts to install Java runtime when attempting to use the application 3. Application hangs on quit. This sounds like an instance where you want to call the Accessibility support number. I will say that I didn't do anything to try to change the Java run time libraries except to install them, and that I boot up the MacBook Air 13" (late 2011 model) normally, and Stanza runs. The only other thing I can suggest is trying to reboot into 64-bit mode. And you can use Activity Monitor to kill off the hung applications. Sorry not to have more suggestions. HTH.

farily urgent! Regarding Flash Back
Doubtless, by now, y'all have heard of the Flash Back Trojan and the fact that 6000 Macs were most likely infected by this thing! I found that the removal process for this bugger is quite complex and is done mainly from terminal. All I can tell you here is that you type in the following code in to terminal to see if you're infected: defaults read /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment defaults read /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES IF you get back the message saying that the default pairs does not exist or something like that, you are not infected. This nasty virus desgizes itself in the form of an update to the Adobe flash player. this hit me the other day and so I decided I'd better check to see if I was infected. so far, I appear not to be. In light of this, does anybody know of a good anti virus app for the Mac which is very accessible? Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! Now a very proud and happy Mac user!!!

Re: Spotify with VoiceOver on the Mac
unfortunately, spotify isn't very voiceover compatible. I ran into this problem a while ago and have since reported it as a bug to the company. now, this was a year ago and since I am still on snow leopard, there probably haven't been any changes that will work for me. your best bet is to go to their webpage, look up the contact info and drop them a note. other than that, I am not sure what else to do. -eric On Apr 5, 2012, at 7:25 PM, Victor Tsaran wrote: > Hello, > Has anyone figured out how to use Spotify for the Mac with VoiceOver?

Here are the instructions: Disinfection Manual Removal Caution: Manual disinfection is a risky process; it is recommended only for advanced users. Otherwise, please seek professional technical assistance. F-Secure customers may also contact our Support. Manual Removal Instructions 1. Run the following command in Terminal: defaults read /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment 2. Take note of the value, DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES 3. Proceed to step 8 if you got the following error message: "The domain/default pair of (/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info, LSEnvironment) does not exist" 4. Otherwise, run the following command in Terminal: grep -a -o '__ldpath__[ -~]*' %path_obtained_in_step2% 5. Take note of the value after "__ldpath__" 6. Run the following commands in Terminal (first make sure there is only one entry, from step 2): sudo defaults delete /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment sudo chmod 644 /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info.plist 7. Delete the files obtained in steps 2 and 5 8. Run the following command in Terminal: defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES 9. Take note of the result. Your system is already clean of this variant if you got an error message similar to the following: "The domain/default pair of (/Users/joe/.MacOSX/environment, DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES) does not exist" 10. Otherwise, run the following command in Terminal: grep -a -o '__ldpath__[ -~]*' %path_obtained_in_step9% 11. Take note of the value after "__ldpath__" 12. Run the following commands in Terminal: defaults delete ~/.MacOSX/environment DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES launchctl unsetenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES 13. Finally, delete the files obtained in steps 9 and 11.

Re: Material for showing Apple accessibility solutions
Daniela, first off, a big congratulations to you! Have you thought of contacting Apple accessibility? Perhaps they may actually have some of their own documents or material from their own site prepared into a presentational format that they'd be willing to share with you. -It may be a longshot but I personally think it's certainly worth a try. Yes?… Smiles, Cara :) On Apr 3, 2012, at 10:01 PM, Daniela Rubio wrote: Hello all: I have just received an invitation from a very important an mexican institution to give a talk on Apple's accessibility solutions. I know what I would like to say, but I am missing support materials, like keynotes, videos, etc which can help to illustrate my talk. The conference will be held in Mexico on may 3 and I have not support from a sighted person who can help me to prepare keynote that looks well. So, mi question is that if you know something or have any materials about this topic that could be of help? Thank you very much for your help! SALUDOS, DANIELA R.T.
