Re: Any cheaper way to get a new charger that works with my somewhat older Macbook?
the firmware update will resolve power support. however, there are 2 different power packs available. these have different wattages and therefore a lower wattage will not help you with both power and charge cycles, in fact this can cause damage to the battery and power inverter of the laptop. in regards the keyboard, I have been checking up on my technical databases with apple and the only way to resolve your problem is a keyboard replacement. as the key in question has been damaged in removal and a mount point is missing. sorry but that's how it is. it's not like buying a windows laptop, undo a bracket and the keyboard dismounts, the macbook is a different kettle of fish all together and requires attention to service. if you were in the UK, I would be willing to service this for you but as you're in the USA, you would need to find a techie that's willing to udnertake the work as a favour with parts. lew On 9 Apr 2012, at 22:12, Esther wrote: > Hi Chris, > > Brent's correct that the older MacBook models from 2007-2008 require a > firmware update in order to charge from the recent model power bricks (with > the L-shaped connectors).

Notes Experiment
Hi Guys. I have been doing some experiments with Notes and braille, specifically brf files. Hey, guys, Apple never intended for it to be used like this, but Notes will swallow a whole brf file such as o you would get from Web Braille. Notes will do transformation such as making all the text lower case, but it's faster to do that in TextEdit and also to avoid Mail Busy. However, Mail Busy did come out of it on ÿ computer. Also, Notes takes the display of the most irritating outhe control characters, the carriage returns and the line feeds. The spaces and the page breaks are displayed, but they are displayed in such a way that it doesn't interfere with where the goes on the idsplay. In other words, what's supposed to be in cell 40 is. If i had known this sooner, I would have tried it two weeks ago when I was using my Mac to read brf files. Because Web braille files have a margin of cell 38, this reading using this method should better on them. This is because the computer insists on showing a blank line if there is acharacter in cell 40. There won't be a character in cell 40 in a Web braille file. I think the display of control characters is a silent one in notes, and that's why you see a blank line with files that have a 40 cell margin. But for those with cell 38 no what appears to be a blank line should be displayed. I hope all this makes sense. This means yours truly can use an iPad with Notes for my reports because they are much shorter than those brf files. It also means, that, if I wanted to, I could use either a Mac or the iPad to read a brf file with very little conversion.

Re: how to rip a DVD on a mac?
I think the default m4v format compression should work for youtube but I've never tried it. The main buttons are Rip, unlabeled, unlabeled and Compress. The first unlabeled will eject the DVD.

Hi, Gigi, I'm glad this works for you.

Re: scientific calculator after some use
Just noticed there is one little gotcha. There is a scale command to say how many digits of accuracy you want bc to do. It defaults to 20 but that actually means the last digit will not neccissarily be correct. For example, I did 4*a(1) which gives you pi but noticed the 20th digit was actually wrong and not just rounded wrong. It showed the 19th digit as 4 when it should be 6. Yes, for a while I memorized another digit of pi for each birthday but stopped that silliness after 22. It was a moment of geekness.

Re: Creating a list of all the headings and links on a webpage
When on a web page, press vo+u and you will be presented with a choice of elements in categories. You can then use your right and left arrow keys to move from category to category, e.g. headings, links, visited links, form controls, tables, regions, etc. Once you find the category you wish, use up and down arrow to read the headings or links within the category and then press enter on the one you want. You will find yourself on the element you want to examine. If you don't want to make any choices, just press escape to get out of the list of categories. Also, remember that item chooser menu which you call up with vo+i, will list all the elements/objects on the page, and if you know what you are after, you can just start typing the first letters of the element/object and you will be on it. Press enter to land on it. Press escape if you don't want to make a choice, press backspace while in item chooser menu to start typing a new string if you have failed to find what you are looking for or if you change your mind and want to look for a different string. Hope this helps.

Re: Signatures
Hi, Stacey, Go into Mail preferences. Find the signatures button and press it. The first thing you'll encounter is a table that allows you to choose which mail account to use with your signatures. Go on to the names table. Here you'll find a default name for a new signature that Mail suggests, such as Signature number 1. You can backspace that out and type your own name. Then navigate to the "contents area" and type in your signature the way you want it. Then you can use command-w to close preferences. Just before you get to the body of a new message while composing, you'll find a signature popup menu. You can use any of the ones you've created, or you can be strange like me and use "random". :) HTH, Teresa "Visualize whirled peas."

Re: Creating a list of all the headings and links on a webpage
Sure you can: You can use the web rotor (vo U) which will activate a table in which you can find all the objects of a page in columns. Links, Headings, form controls, tables, etc. Also, you can navigate with the quick nab commands of l for links, h for headings and so on. Good luck SALUDOS, DANIELA R.T.

Re: Creating a list of all the headings and links on a webpage
Hi Teresa, Rahul, and Simon, Just to add a few comments to Simon's answer. Remember, too, that if you are working in Lion and want to browse web pages, that you can enable single-key web page navigation when using Quick Nav mode. Quick Nav mode, where you just press the right or left arrow keys to navigate instead of using VO-right arrow or VO-left arrow, and can activate links and elements by simultaneously pressing the up and down arrow keys instead of pressing VO-space, is particularly useful in navigating web pages. You can toggle Quick Nav mode on or off by simultaneously pressing the left and right arrow keys. To enable single-key web page navigation when Quick Nav mode is turned on, bring up VoiceOver Utility (VO-F8) and navigate to "Commanders" (e.g., press Command-8 to quickly go there), then navigate to the "Quick Nav" tab and select it. On the Quick Nav tab, check the box for "Enable single key navigation when using Quick Nav", then close the window with Command-w to exit VoiceOver utility. You can now type "1" for the next heading level 1, etc. up through the number 6. You can also type "m" to find the next heading at the same level, etc., or just "h" to find the next heading. This is one of the features that may be familiar to users of the iPhone and other iOS devices who use paired Bluetooth keyboards. It was added to Lion as a Quick Nav option. A very common problem for new VoiceOver users, however, is keeping track of when they are in Quick Nav mode. Remember that if you need to enter text, such as typing in your login name and password on web pages, you have to exit Quick Nav mode if you want this to work. If VoiceOver suddenly doesn't seem to be behaving the way you expect, check whether you are in QuickNav mode and need to turn this off by simultaneously pressing the left and right arrow keys. Another follow-up comment to Teresa and Simon's remarks about using item chooser menu (VO-I): as Simon described, you can type the first few letters of the element you are searching for, and the item chooser menu window will use your search terms to filter out resulting matches. You can then navigate through this filtered list to find the item you want to select. However, you can also use item chooser menu to further filter this list by category. So if I want to find a specific element that I know is a link or a button, after quickly typing the first few letters of the element to get a list of matches, I can then type "b u t" or "l i n" to further filter the list of item chooser matches to only include matches that are buttons, in the first case, or links, in the second case, before I navigate through the list of matches to find the one that I want. Also, remember that when you select one of the item chooser menu entries (either by pressing "return", using VO-space, or by simultaneously pressing the up and down arrow keys when in Quick Nav mode), this only takes you to the position of the item you've been searching for. If it's a button or link, you still need to press or activate it with another VO-space or whatever, if that's what you want to do. (And we haven't even mentioned using TrackPad Commander for navigation and activating links -- that's also possible to use.) HTH.

Re: scientific calculator after some use
Hi Chris and Others, FIrst of all, the dev for "CalcMadeEasy" has made accessibility improvements to the iOS app in the time since Yuma's original post, as I think Scott Howell posted (may have been on the viphone list, though). He has also been working on the MacOS App Store version of this app. And to follow up the "moment of geekiness" experience Chris described, there are various famous tricks for remembering the number of digits in pi, like "May I have a drink, alcoholic of course?" or "See I find a rhyme assisting, my feeble brain its tasks resisting" where the number of letters in each word give the next number in the sequence of digits for pi. Of course, you then have to count up the letters in each word, if you don't simply remember the digit sequence. I think it's one of the those random acts of trivia -- like being told that you can remember the square root of 3 as being 1.732, because 1732 is the year George Washington was born. Of course, at the time you're told this, you also didn't know that George Washington was born in 1732. Geek mode off.

Re: Notes Experiment
Hi Gigi, Teresa is speaking about an iOS app: • Filer ($3.99) by Dan Leehr L.L.C. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/filer/id318884764?mt=8 It's a download app, but also lets you organize and play many formats of documents and multimedia files within then app, with the benefit of generally keeping your bookmark location. Also a handy way to transfer downloaded files so you can open them in other iOS applications. Theres a quite flexible web browser interface, with bookmarklets, too, as well as the ability to download directly from your Dropbox, etc. The nice feature is using this for documents reading and keeping your place. I don't know how to get around Teresa's question about the behavior of bookmarking for large files in Braille, though.

Re: Notes Experiment
Hi Stacey. It was real easy to get it in there. Get TextEdit to accept brf files. On my computer these days, I told TextEdit to open brf files. Then I did a transformation by first selecting all the text, going to edit, and down to transformations. Then I chose to make all the text lower case. This has no effect except to make the braille easier to read by taking out most of the dots 7 & 8's. This all took no time at all. Then I did command c, went into a Note file, and pressed command v. I could have done the transformation within Notes after I copied the text. However, TextEdit does not go into busy mode and is faster. I haven't tried Filer yet. Notes does take out most of the control characters as I said before. It should work fine in Web braille files, although I guess you could read them in Safari. If you did it in Notes, however, you wouldn't have to have the Internet. Try it. If it's a brf file that's near and dear to your heart, you may want to copy it first and do this on the copy. This because you can easily change it by banging the space bar or another key. As far as Notes is concerned, I worst thing that could happen is having to force quit if you have the same problem Teresa did.

Re: Notes Experiment
Hi, Gigi, I use Filer on my IPod, and I use textEdit on the Mac for brf files. Notes is fine on the Mac, but really struggles for me on the Ipod. It used to be possible to read brf files with Safari, but now there doesn't seem to be an eight-dot mode on the Mac. Teresa "Slow down; you'll get there faster."

Re: Notes Experiment
Hi Teresa. I have an 8 dot mode on my Mac. That's how I got computer braille to come up so I could read grade 2. Do you not get a choice for 8 dots when you go into the braille option in the vo utility? I use TextEdit too for brf files, but I can't stop TextEdit from showing control characters. This is` important for me because I'm not reading; I am proofing brf files for pay. Since these characters take up one or two spaces on the display, any word that would normally end either in cell 39 or 40 is pushed over to left side of the display. Most of the time I can figure out what's what, but occasionally I have to get the cursor to the beginning of the line so I `an determine for sure if a transcriber has made an error and the word in the wrong place. I've figured out how to do that, but it would be more efficient If did not have to do that.

Hi Max. I'm not the one to answer that question. However, if I had a two-week-old Mac, I would either go for my five minute Genius Bar appointment or call that Apple Accessibility phone number at 877-204-3930. If you're not in the States, I guess you can call with Skype. Otherwise, you cn have your serial number handy and talk to those folks there. They are very helpful,and you sure are lucky they have this number these days.

Re: flashback virus fix commands.
hi gigi to make sure you are updated on JAVA, the first thing is to determine if JAVA is installed. to do this, go to your applications folder, then go into utilities, go to JAVA preferences. run it, if it presents a message saying it needs to download java, please install it, it then connects to the software update interface and installs straight away. when installed, then load it. quit it, then use the scripts provided on the link in my last email or here http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/06/tech/web/mac-flashback-trojan-check/index.html then run these scripts. if they tell you they cannot find the files, your system is safe. any problems, please drop me a line, if you're on skype, I'll walk you through if you need it. take care. lew On 10 Apr 2012, at 19:32, Eugenia Firth wrote: > Hi Max. > I'm not the one to answer that question.

hi.

Re: logic
ProTools is not a straight download. pro tools is a combined hardware and software system. though ProTools 10 is now hardware independent, it requires an iLoc key which is a USB dongle to use. then your audio interface of choice to work. it is voiceover friendly and avid are constantly working on improving the system. each update will contain some tune ups for voiceover. I am not a pro tools user but have been over the years, I've recently road tested it and am impressed. you need to find an avid dealer for pro tools but be advised, pro tools is rather pricy. about £545 for the software, you can pick up a package deal including Avid's Mbox series interfaces for a reasonable price. ProTools is used in educational establishments and in most production and recording studios, sound design environments and much more. so look into it. for more info on Avid ProTools systems, check out http://www.avid.com/US/products/family/pro-tools lew On 10 Apr 2012, at 20:29, Walter Harper wrote: > Ok, > I will see if I can find protools in the app store. > Does it have voiceover support? > Walter > On Apr 10, 2012, at 3:09 PM, Lewis Alexander wrote: > >> hi. >> >> I have worked with logic studio 8 and 9 with no success. it was a waste of >> money. it is not accessible for the most part as there is no interaction nor >> labeling for any objects, windows or functions in the main windows including >> mixer, etc. it's a waste of money and apple need to pull their finger out to >> fix it. >> >> your best option is to go to Pro Tools 10 which is a little higher than >> logic in price but it's the only blind friendly pro audio system on the >> market at the moment for multi tracking, authoring, etc. >> >> lew >> >> On 10 Apr 2012, at 19:59, Walter Harper wrote: >> >>> Hi all listers, >>> I was wondering if anyone has used logic on the mac.

Anyone Had Any Luck Using ZTerm in Lion With Notetakers?
Hi, all, I used to use ZTerm to put brf books from WebBraille onto my Braille Lite. I've tried updating my serial-to-USB drivers and making sure I have the latest version of ZTerm. I get no communication with Zterm and my Braille Lite 40. The notetaker works fine with Windows computers. Any thoughts?

Resolved, was Re: Anyone Had Any Luck Using ZTerm in Lion With Notetakers?
Ok, I'm going to post this in case I or anyone else looks it up on the list. I went into the settings menu in ZTerm and looked up Modem settings. Sure enough, it was set on Bluetooth. My decrepit Braille Lite knows not a glimmer about Bluetooth, so I reset it to my serial-to-USB adapter driver and everything works without a hitch.

Hello Everyone, I am cross-posting this to both the V iPhone and Mac Visionaries Mailing Lists. National Braille Press will send you a free hardcopy of the computer Braille Reference card upon request. This is an extremely useful pamphlet used to acquaint Braille readers with the finer points of computer Braille. They also sell a Nemeth code reference card for approximately $20.00. To order the free computer Braille reference card call: (888) 965-8965 Or go to their website at nbp.org If calling, keep in mind that they are located on the east coast of the US.

Re: Anyone Had Any Luck Using ZTerm in Lion With Notetakers?
The braille Lite isn't supported as a Braille display in OS X. I use an application called ZTerm, which communicates to the serial port as a file-transfer option. I still like to transfer files back and fort to it. It's my old, quaint, legacy, bearskin-and-flint-knife method, and I'm used to it. :) But it is a little tricky. Again, doing this does not allow it to function as a Braille display. This is why I broke down and bought a Focus 40 Blue eventually.

Re: Tips for reading PDF documents on the Mac
I haven't, but you raise a good point, I have never found it possible to read PDF columns properly with Jaws and used to have to use fine reader to translate into an MS Doc. The PDFs I am currently putting into Safari are mainly journal articles-they have some tables and I don't think those read properly, but I will try to remember to take a look at some PDFs in columns and see. I think we're likely to have little success however, as it's about translating graphical representation into words and a logical order to people-many of whom don't have a great concept of layout and formatting.

Re: logic
Lew, Thank you for all the wealth of information you are sharing so patiently. Your detailed replies are always pleasant to read. Thanks to this thread I know that Pro Tools is seeing some accessibility efforts. I always thought that only the basics were accessible with VO. It looks like you are in a tough patch and I wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors.

Re: Recording app that allows recording of audio from other apps?
Sorry. As far as I know, this app works on Macs. Good luck finding an app that'll work for you!

something to make it easier for you
Hi Guys, Just wanted to drop you guys a little script i made to help you with copy and pasting stuff from pdfs web or anything actually. The basic premise here is to copy whatever sentence paragraph or whatever text you have, use the copy last phrase to clipboard command and my script will automatically paste it to the end of your text editor window. This is very useful if you have long text that you want copied and pasted from pdf files just as they are supposed to be without wasting time on switching apps, reformatting etc. Here's the script: set thetext to get the clipboard tell application "TextEdit" set theindex to every paragraph of front document set thecount to count theindex set thecount to thecount + 1 set paragraph thecount of front document to thetext say "pasted to text editor" end tell Copy it all, paste it into your applescript editor which is /applications/utilitiesapplescript editor / The best thing to do next is to apply a gesture to the script. Here is how i do this: I have option one finger flick down to read the next sentence Option tow finger flick down for next paragraph Then i have option four finger flick left to copy last phrase to clipboard Lastly, i use option pinch out for running the script With this, every paragraph you want to copy is then pasted without switching to the text editor and back. I'll make a better version later on but if you want to play with this one already and test it out, be my guest :) I might make a short podcast to demonstrate how faast one's productivity can get with this technique Yuma -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
