Re: Mail Problems, using Lion.

[Scott Howell]

Veronica,

Having no idea who your mail provider is or anything along those lines I have a 
question or two.
First do you have to use pop? I have not used pop in a very long time so I 
cannot comment on whether there is any issues with Apple mail and pop servers. 
Is the pop server using standard pop on port 110 or something like APop which 
is a secure version of pop. Of course as a side note, pop sends passwords in 
the clear and is truly insecure. I forget which port APop sits on.
I'm assuming you have the proper server name such as smtp.example.com, but 
assuming all of this have you looked at the Connection DOctor screen to see if 
there are any messages and if so did you see any messages that might indicate a 
problem with outbound connections?
Sorry I have not been paying close attention to all the threads rolling through 
here.

Re: Mail Problems, using Lion.

[Keith Watson]

Veronica,

Try to create another user and setup your mail there. If this works then I 
would delete and recreate the original user account. I know this seems brute 
force and it is, but I don't know enough about plist files to tell you to go 
remove the correct one.

Hope this works.

Re: Mail Problems, using Lion.

[Keith Watson]

Also, you might create a gmail account and have it pop your email there. Then 
use imap on your Mac. This is the way I do it and it works out well for me.

Track pads

[Marc Rocheleau]

Hey all,

Okay so my search for Mac info continues...

Basically, this is a simple one. I've heard mentions of track pads
before and, to my understanding at least, it seems like they enable
mouse or touch screen-like navigation? Is this a fair assessment and
if not, what do track pads serve to do? If so, how much can it
substitute for navigation with the keyboard?

Thanks in advance!

-Marc

Re: Track pads

[Lewis Alexander]

trackpad accessibility is basically the emulation of most functions of the 
iphone / iPad touch screen interface in terms of functional gestures. needless 
to say it's a great system which apple have pioneered with the first versions 
of the macbook air and the newer versions of the macbook pro, etc. now it's 
common place. other manufacturers like sony, HP and toshiba have taken on this 
interface technology to the windows user interface, however from a blind user 
aspect, it dos not work with windows based screen readers correctly, if at all.

this is where we mac users have the upper hand.

I LOVE IT!

Re: Track pads

[Marc Rocheleau]

Is there any brand of track pads people can recommend? Using an
iPhone, this intrigues me a great deal -- are all the gestures the
same as on that device as well? Obviously my next question is what
limitations does the track pad have when it comes to navigating
through the Mac OSX?

Thanks!

Mac to PC network -- is it possible?

[Marc Rocheleau]

Hi all,

The subject describes my overall question but I'll provide some
details so you have a better idea of what I'm looking at.

Right now I have my computer upstairs in my room. If I got a Mac this
year like I'm planning to, I'll still be living with my parents for
another year and they use our home network to get the internet from my
computer. Their PC is set up in the basement at the opposite end of
the house so they're linked to my internet connection via network
cable and d-link wifi router.

My iPhone, laptop and fiancee's lap top all run the internet off of
wifi thanks to the router as well.

My question is, given all of these factors, can I create a network
with a Mac replacing the main PC hooked up to the internet, which is
what all other devices gain internet access from? Obviously I know my
iPhone and Apple TV will connect but I just want to make sure that A)
Any other non-Apple laptops/products can use the wifi and B) my
parents computer will be able to share the internet connection via
network cable if I'm using a Mac. The wifi signal just doesn't seem to
be strong enough to reach the basement.

One last question, I assume I'd need to buy a new router for the Mac
to create a home network. If so, can someone recommend a router that
works well with Macs?

Thanks in advance! :)

Re: Track pads

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Marc,

If you buy a Mac laptop, you'll have a built-in trackpad, but if you buy a 
desktop Mac, you'll have the option of buying the Magic Trackpad instead of, or 
as well as, a mouse. There are no other brands of trackpad that work with a mac.

As for it's limitations, there are a number of navigation commands already 
mapped to gestures on the trackpad, but you can add the VO commands you use 
most frequently and map them to unused gestures.

It isn't exactly like the iPhone because Mac OS X isn't IOS 5. So, on the Mac, 
you have gestures for interacting and stopping the interaction, for instance.

None of this will make sense to you until you have a Mac and learn about the OS.

Using the trackpad with VoiceOver means turning on the trackpad commander which 
renders the trackpad inoperable for moving the mouse. However, a simple gesture 
turns the trackpad commander off and on, so getting sighted help to fix a 
problem is still possible.

I can't give you any comparisons with Windows and its various screen readers as 
I've never used Windows.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Libre and Open office

[Steve Holmes]

All that to jump to a desired cell?? That's a huge work-around.  I thought the 
command in Excel and I know it is, just press f5 and type in the cell cordinate 
like G9 and hit Enter. 
Yeah, I sure hope Apple improves on this.

Also, I need to find that bug report on Libreoffice and see if we can raddle 
some cages over there.  I heard it used to be really good under Snow Leppard 
and it is a bloody shame that it had to break under Lion.
But that was over nine months ago so we need to get moving on this.

Re: Previous Recipiants Mail Question

[Teresa Cochran]

I think of the previous recipients list as a sort of holding tank of addresses 
that have been dealt with in mail. You can then take these and put them in your 
address book or delete them. I actually like this feature. When I used to use 
Outlook Express in windows, I was a little annoyed to find every single address 
I'd replied to in my address book. I don't necessarily want every address in 
there.

Re: Track pads, broken

[Mark BurningHawk Baxter]

Turn Track Pad commander on by holding down the VO keys and doing a two-finger 
rotating gesture, called the rotor, on the track pad.  So, hold down the VO 
keys and rotate two fingers on the track pad like turning a dial.  You'll hear 
a really cool bleep and Track Pad Commander will come up--assuming VO is turned 
on of course.

My track pad is flaking out.  It's clicking when I don't want, and switching me 
out of windows randomly.  When the computer gets hot, apparently this is worse. 
 My question, since I'm not really much of a gesture person myself (I'm more 
retro old schoool with keyboard shortcuts and so on), how do I turn the track 
pad off or disable it, so it doesn't do random cursor weirdness?
Thanks.

That GOD aweful screen!

[Jennifer Perdue]

Hi,

I know a couple of people have called to help last week but with some health 
problems and the emotional stress of having to retire, and then give up my 
guide dog, I just haven't had the strength to deal with a phone conversation.

Please tell me what to do with that horrid screen.  It happens every other time 
I turn my computer on, and to get it to go away I have to manually turn my 
computer off and then turn it back on to get it to go to the desktop.

I know there is a way to get past that screen, someone told me via email a long 
time ago, but I can't remember it now.

HELP!

Jenny

Absolutely. What topic would you like? You can also search Malarsie and

Re: Mac to PC network -- is it possible?

[Steve Holmes]

Well, you are going to be using a router no matter what so none of your own 
computers need to be involved with sharing any internet connections.
I personally recommend Linksys for home routers; most have a decent web 
interface for configuration and they have four hardware network ports plus you 
can get WIFI on them.
So let the router do all the work and your computers and those of your parents 
can just co-exist on this single network.  Oh, your mac will work just fine on 
a setup like this. My mac mini and linux laptop get on just fine with my 
Linksys router here.

A lot of people like the Airport Extreme for use with their Macs but they are 
at least twice as expensive but they might support other Apple-centric 
features; not sure.

Re: Track pads

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

hold down the control and option keys then place 2 fingers on the trackpad and 
turn them clockwise as if you were turning a dial.  Of course, Voiceover needs 
to be on first for this to have any effect.

Re: Track pads

Hi,

When you buy iMacs, you now have the choice of getting a Magic trackpad or a 
mouse with your machine for no extra charge.

webpages question

[Kirsten Edmondson]

Hi all, 
Three web-based questions below, I use Google Chrome and Safari 
interchangeably, making you aware of that in case your answers are different 
depending on the browser  I'm using. 
1. Is there a way to stop a webpage reverting to the top of the page when it 
refreshes? When on the Tesco Grocery site, when I click add to basket it 
refreshes the page and then I have to work my way down to where I was. 
2. Conversely, is the trackpad gesture to get to the top of a webpage 3-finger 
swipe up? I just can't seem to get it to do it ... 
3. Finally, is there a way of getting a page to refresh? I have particular 
problems with the Mastercard secure code/verified by Visa page which more often 
than not refuses to load properly, to cancel or reload the page might mean 
losing where I am or even paying twice and I don't want that. What I'm really 
looking for is if there is a command like insert-escape for Jaws which will 
make sure everything is brought up on the screen. I think this page in 
particular is quite difficult to load and often I have to close it and go 
through the whole thing again before I can confirm payment and write in my 
code-and this often allerts my pushy bank who then decide it's fraud, when in 
fact, it's a rubbish page not doing it's job properly. 
Thanks all, advice much appreciated. 
Kirsten.

Logic pro tips and questions.

[Nektarios Mallas]

Hello list. 
I am fighting with Logic pro these days and I am wondering if anybody here 
found any tips to access information in the arrange area. 
For example, how to get time position or info about bars etc. 
Also any specific view or configuration that will make life easier with Logic 
are very welcome. 
Please save yourself some time and keystrokes, not remind me that Logic is 
inaccessible and a lost cause because I already know that. 
Thanks for any suggestions. 

Nektarios.

Re: Mac to PC network -- is it possible?

[Scott Howell]

I would not consider a Linksys router for any reason. In fact if you were to 
invest in an Apple router you will get a device that is by far superior in 
security than Linksys routers. Linksys use to make some good stuff, but just 
not the case any longer. ALthough if you insist on buying a Linksys, I would go 
look at OpenWRT or one of the other firmware replacements for Linksys.

Re: Logic pro tips and questions.

[Lewis Alexander]

as it's a discussion on here which will cause a few twinges to some here 
including myself, I know how you feel about logic.

unfortunately, there's no work arounds at all for logic. as an example, in the 
main arrange window, you cannot get track name or header info, nor any 
functions regarding recard arm, solo, etc nor it's control of track cursor, 
etc. Seriously, I advise abandoning this lost cause in logic and moving to 
ProTools 10. it's the only way and I'm sorry to have to say it. There's nothing 
else on the market that's voiceover compatible which focuses in multi track 
recording, editing, sound design or production needs for the pro audio user 
other than pro tools.

My background here is having worked with logic studio 8 and 9. the only way of 
using it was as a tape master from a 48 channel digital desk with MMC control. 
This meant  that voiceover couldn't respond anyway but for my work at the time, 
that was the only way for it. so the desk was the only way of tactile access. 
through track arming on the fly, record automation from the desk using  logic 
as a tape and MMC slave, etc.

Re: Adjusting system and VoiceOver volumes independently in Lion.

[Veronica Elsea]

Hi there!
Yes, I know about function F11 and F12. But they lowered the volume 
for both VoiceOver and system sounds. In this example, they were 
separate. And in my original post, I quoted how the demo went and I 
was wondering why I didn't see the same behavior on my machine.

Thanks.

Okay, here was the question I was trying to ask when things really 
fell apart.
This evening I found the David Woodbridge tutorial on adjusting the 
system volume and VoiceOver volume independently. In his example, 
he was playing a relax something in the background. When I did it, 
I was playing his mp3 tutorial. I then used the 
command-option-command left arrow to find volume. I then held down 
the modifier keys and moved down to lower the voiceover volume. I 
followed his exercise and then started moving back up. In his 
example, when he hit 96 per cent, the next thing was system volume 
20 per cent. He could then raise, but not lower the system volume. 
In my attempt, after 95 per cent was 100 per cent and that was 
that. When I use function F11 to lower the system volume, it 
lowered VoiceOver as well.
In trying to look around, I can't find any setting that refers to 
separating these two volume levels.
I keep having this experience with his tutorials. He says do this 
and that will happen. I do this and just hear bink! According to 
the about this mac, I have 10.7.3. Where am I going wrong here?

Thanks.

Re: Mail Problems, using Lion.

[Veronica Elsea]

Hi everyone!
First, I know I've entered the correct information because it worked 
for two weeks. When I got it to work, I had a friend who owns a 
server just like the one where my mail is stored create a fake 
account for me. That one worked. After creating that account, my real 
account started working.
The reason I use pop mail is that on my main windows computer, I'm 
using Eudora, which started out as pop a long time ago. I have all my 
folders set up on my computer along with way too many messages in my 
inbox. 
This MacBook air is to be used when I'm traveling or not at my desk. 
What I want to do here is to read mail and leave it on the server. So 
if I readjust everything, it could work, but it's just a bit more 
than I want to do at the moment because Mail busted something.
And I can't imagine what kind of mess I could create as I delete this 
account over and over again.
And I'm also sure about the port settings and such because we 
couldn't get it to work at the Apple store either. In searching 
online I have found a bunch of references to people having problems 
with Mail, it working for awhile, losing it again and so on. It sure 
is discouraging though.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll probably end up doing all sorts of 
strange things in the near future. I just can't believe how much time 
I've wasted on this. Yikes!

Hi there
I have this happen occasionally with in email. Somebody on this list posted 
this hint, and it is been very helpful to me. Press the power key five times 
quickly, wait just a little bit, and it should say voiceover on. At that point 
you may have to get back into where you were. However, it should bring 
voiceover back.

Re: webpages question

[Jonathan C. Cohn]

Depending on how the web page is set up for refreshes, you are probably out of 
luck.  You might be able to use a "sweet spot" to have focus go where you want. 
  A sweet spot is a web spot that is set when you indicate to set the same 
location as a webspot twice.  I have found that in Lion, if one is not on the 
browser when the page stops loading, then the various functions to go to 
next/previous heading or link do not work...  Turning on and off Voice Over 
often will help.

In Chrome I suggest you use the chrome vox functions when possible.

Best wishes,

Jonathan

Re: ABBYY Fine reader

[Esther]

Hi Johnny, Jim, and Others,

Here's the link to the page where you can get a trial download of ABBYY 
Finereader Express:
http://www.abbyy.com/finereader_for_mac/trial/#
You can also just purchase it from the Mac App Store for $99.99 (but there's no 
available trial download when you use that site):
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/abbyy-finereader-express/id412310371?mt=12

The price is standard, although I was surprised to see that they dropped the 
Mac App Store price to $49.99 on Black Friday (the Friday after Thanksgiving) 
last year.  It was either just for that day, or possibly the weekend, and I've 
never known them to do that before.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: How do you add someone to your address book?

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

When in the AddressBook app, press cmd-n to create a new card or go up to the 
File menu and select New Card.  By default, your cursor should land in the 
first name field, enter the first name of the individual you wish to add.  
Press tab to go through the various fields for entering information.

HTH.

Later...

Re: How do you add someone to your address book?

[Brett C.]

You can also add the sender of an email from Mail to your address book. This is 
done by highlighting the email and the key combination of command shift Y.

Re: Apple TV, dvd extras & chapters?

[Paul Henrichsen]

Ripit will allow you to choose what you want to rip, but the default is to just 
rip the movie. It will drop it into iTunes for you  if you want.
If you are ripping a tv series, there is a nice check box where you can ask it 
to separate the episodes. 
I haven't seen this in any other ripping program thus far.
