Alarm Clock?
Anyone know of a good alarm clock for the mac that is Lion ready? Obviously, i know about the one on the IPhone. I use it all the time. Works like a charm! I just would like something for the mac as well. I kind a recall seeing something a while back, but that was back when I used Tiger, way way way back in the days, and I totally forget the name of what it was, or if it would be Lion compatible.

Re: Mac Mail behaving oddly
Hello Lisette, First of all I am using the new Mail layout of Lion, for what it's worth. Then I just interact with the vertical splitter and arrow up or down to change values and stop interacting and it's set, that's all I do. Perhaps you cannot get beyond 93 percent because of the values of the second vertical splitter and horizontal splitter. Mine are both 0 percent, maybe you need to change these first to be able to change the first vertical splitter. Hope this helps. good luck Ronald Op 2 jun. 2012, om 22:55 heeft Lisette wesseling het volgende geschreven: > Ronald > How did you manage to change the size of the vertical splitter?

Re: problem when trying to play apple's keynotes on Mac
Of course, but if I keep getting apple's keynotes downloaded to my computer and even if I delete them, would my computer still get slower. To give an example, lets say I downloaded 10 videos a bit crazy I know but continuing on form there, lets say I have listened to them all and my Mac has gotten a bitl slower. Next though lets say I have deleted them would my computer be as fast again before I even downloaded them?

If any has youtube and have played a video where it keeps freezing and you have to pause it so it can buffer it more quickly then this is basically the same thing but with the addition of losing what Tim Cook has said.

Just had a very strange thing happen in iTunes
Hi all, I just tried to import one of my CDs into my iTunes library, and something happened that I've never seen before. iTunes has switched the titles of two of the songs, so that when I click on Song A, song B plays and vice versa. All the other titles on the CD are correct. Does anyone know if it is possible to edit the song info so that the correct titles display for these two songs?

Re: problem when trying to play apple's keynotes on Mac
Hi, why do you think downloading a few podcasts would make your computer any slower? I mean, thats what hard drives are designed to do. Store and delete information. Maybe over many years, especially if using a SSD but, these are things rated in multiple years of use before meaningful degradation. Someone more knowledgeable about such things can chime in if I'm mistaken but, I don't think this is anything to worry about as long as you have the storage space on your drive to accommodate. This will not make your computer any slower.

reading with text edit
Ok, for the life of me I can't remember how to do this. Shows how often I use this program. How do you get text edit to read from top of the document? Also, once you stop it how to resume it from where you left off. Control, command b is not it.

Re: problem when trying to play apple's keynotes on Mac
Hi Ricardo, I was just concerned about taking up too much space when it comes to playing youtube videos online. I have had in the past a Windows XP computer that I stored a lot of music files on the hard drive I should point out that they were WMA or some kid of windows media format anyway this was before I knew about MP3 files. To cut a long story short, XP computer was crawling along and when it came to playing youtube videos they kept playing a bit then stopped and started again. I was just concerned about video files slowing down a computer that's all. If there are anyone on the list who listen to apple keynotes by iTunes podcasts have you ever experienced your mac slowing down on you.

That is to do with memory I checked the video file and it was well over 1. something GB which is a lot. I've got no problem with this but if I keep doing this for apple's keynotes I am worried that my mac book pro will become slower over time. However would it get faster again if I did a re-install. I noticed as well it said play preview of the keynote that you want to listen to in iTunes. Rather than having it downloaded. Would this play the whole video? If so I could listen to it without having to download it. Never the less I am grateful for the feed. Now for your question Recardo. My Mac is connected to wi-fi as for my computer I'm sorry to say that I don't know the technical term for how this is connected. I have broadband a Hub if that helps other than that I know nothing. Its no good asking my mum because she knows nothing about what the computer uses for connectivity for the internet. However I do know that having wires is technically more reliable than Wi-FI. I also have a laptop running windows Vista. After you asked the question I went to the apple site but I think they have removed the "new iPad" keynote because I was gong to try it on y laptop to see if it was a WI-FI fault. Unfortunatly I can't use my PC is out of action for the moment due to a software update being corrupted which basically just keeps on logging on and re-starting at the log on screen which is pretty annoying because it requires someone sighted to fix it for me. I basically can get this done but I can't comment on when I am going to get the sighted person to do it for me at college. With all this though, When the apple keynote comes out I can try it on the windows PC I have college cos that's connected over WI-FI so I can see if that is the problem. I've got the feeling it was my Mac though. We will se if it happens again in the up coming keynote though! Smiles. Sorry for the long post!

Re: reading with text edit
Hi May, first of all I would advise interacting with the document in question because if you was going through it line by line, if you did a say all with Command A, voiceover will start from the very top. This is why when I'm working with documents, I always interact with it 1st because then whenever I do the say all command no matter where I am in the document Voiceover will read from that current position and will keep track of it when you stop. This is how I deal with documents and I hope it helps you. LOL I remember what it was like in the beginning. I should mention that I don't use Text Edit.

VMWare Fusion questions
Hi everyone. I have a copy of Windows 7 floating around here, and I was thinking about playing with VMWare fusion. I have a few questions before I get started though. I understand that when you're setting up the virtual machine, you allocate a certain portion of your system resources in order to run it. Let's say, for example that I allocate four of my eight gigs of ram and 250 of my 750 gigs of hard drive space for the virtual machine. When I shut down the virtual machine, will those resources be returned to my mac? That is to say, will I once again have all 8 gigs of ram and 750 gigs of hard drive space available for use on my mac? I apologize if this sounds basic. Thanks.

New Mac-mini and old printer
Hello everyone, I'm getting a new Mac-mini and wanted to know if I can use an old printer that had been connected to my PC. It is a Canon Image Class MF4100 Series I found a Canon support page on the web with the drivers I would need but the install CD's that came with the printer are for Windows. I am just confused enough over peripheral equipment that I don't have a clue if I can use this printer or not. Recommendations would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

Re: VMWare Fusion questions
I would think some of the disk space would be used up to store the VM image on the mac. Whether it's the 250 gig you make for it, or only a portion depends on whether fusion can grow the file as needed, or if it fills all 250 gigs with nothing before formatting for the Windows install. I like boot camp better, but wish I could have the best of both worlds, but I would have to come up with more JFW keys and another XP license, most likely, even if I import my boot camp into fusion. - Original Message - From: "Allison Mervis" To: Sent: Sunday, June 03, 2012 4:26 PM Subject: Re: VMWare Fusion questions Thanks Matt.

Re: VMWare Fusion questions
Hi. A couple of things to keep in mind. 1. If you do go the boot cam route, you will need sighted assistance to get windows installed. Also, you'll be able to have Fusion treat the bootcamp partition as a virtual machine. This has some advantages such as being able to utilized all of the Mac's resources when you need to do something that needs a lot of them but still able to boot in to windows quickly through fusion when you don't need to do something system intensive. 2. The quick install option in fusion will have fusion install windows without sighted assistance. The only thing you need do after installation is install you're screen reader of choice.

RE: VMWare Fusion questions
Hi! I'm by no means an expert, but thought I'd share my two cents worth on this topic. I had a friend set up bootcamp and vm fusion for me. VM fusion ended up being too sluggish to use, and I found that bootcamp meets my needs much better. I know a lot of people like the virtual machine, and I suppose there's a chance that my friend set it up incorrectly, but my humble opinion is that bootcamp is a much better option over all. Granted, it requires sighted assistance to set up, but since I wouldn't have known what I was doing setting up a VM, I would have required sighted assistance no matter which option I went with. Good luck, no matter what you choose, and I hope that this ends up helping a little. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Allison Mervis Sent: Sunday, June 03, 2012 5:26 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: VMWare Fusion questions Thanks Matt.

Valiantly Trying -- And Miserably Failing -- To Post on Wordpress.com
Good day/night to all. I have a blog on wordpress.com, and typically, every few months, I have to experiment to figure out how to post because of changes made to the layout of the add new post screen. With some trial and error, I have been able to do this for several iterations of wordpress.com "upgrades". However, tonight I am stumped. Where most recently, there was an edit box under "Enter title here," and then another right afterwards into which either one wrote or inserted a prewritten post, I cannot for the life of me locate the proper editing field for the post contents. I have tried several edit boxes, and all result in the appearance of the text, but a word count of zero, and no appearance of the post except for the title upon publication. I do notice one edit box that is dimmed, and I refreshed the screen, left Safari and came back in and started things up again, and tried clicking on the dimmed edit box several times. If anyone is on wordpress and can give me a clue as to what to do, I would appreciate it oh so much. I am using a Macbook with Snow Leopard. TIA.

question for all voice over trainers: trouble interacting with items
okay… I really could use you awls help. I myself am also a Mac voiceover trainer. I have a student who is starting from ground one. to the best of my knowledge, I do not believe that she even knew what voiceover was left alone how to use it until I told her of its existence. she is doing great, however now we're to the point where I am trying to help her learn the concept of interacting with certain items. at this point, she is following behind miserably. I'm not saying that it's her fault, it's probably the way that I am presenting it to her. I honestly am not sure how else to make this easier. I have tried literally almost every analogy underneath the sun. I tried explaining to her that voiceover works very hierarchically. to her, that made entirely no sense. she somewhat gets the concept when interacting with tables, but that's about as far as it goes. even then, I can tell that her concept on the matter is very hazy. I told her also to think of a bookshelf with three or four ring binders if she wanted to get to the third binder, and then look at the 15th page within that binder, she would first have to cross over the first and second binder without even looking inside of them. then, once at the third binder, she could then open it up, and then flip to the 15th page. I tried explaining to her that interacting with items on voiceover is much the same. you have an item where your voiceover cursor sits. you can either use voice over navigation to pass right over the items, or you can climb a level down and see what is underneath that item, by interacting with it. her exact words when I said this work: "okay, now you really lost me! " I am pretty much out of options. I don't know what else to tell her to try. I am determined to help her. However, it seems like until we get past this concept, voiceover is going to be very hard for her to use. whether she uses keyboard commander, trackpad commander, or for that mind, even quick nap, she's going to need to know the concept of what it means to interact. There's just no other way around it. she does not have any learning disabilities, so it kind of surprises me that all of my other students catch on to this pretty quickly, yet she is not. I have asked her specifically to tell me what she does not understand about the concept, however she is not able to articulate what exactly it is that she does not understand about the concept. I think a lot of it too, is the fact that she is barely even practicing. I give her certain exercises to try throughout the day, and every time I do, next time we get together, I asked her if she practiced, and she very truthfully tells me know. I have had absolutely nothing to practice with, even though she is fully aware that I gave her an assignment. I do not know how she ever is going to learn if she keeps not practicing. I understand her getting frustrated, but when I am genuinely trying to help her in any way form or shape that I can, I would expect for her to at least have enough respect to put forth a bit of effort. I just wonder how much of this is that she really doesn't understand, versus how much of it is she really seriously is just not trying. I do not want to be rude to her, however when I see that she is making no progress at all, and that it's obvious by her admission, that she is not practicing, what the hell more am I supposed to do? pardon the language, but this is extremely frustrating. what do you all who are also trainers do when you have students like this, is simply either one do not get the concept of something, or simply click do not try and it's very obvious that they are illustrating their lack of effort. this student has had her state lend her a MacBook for three weeks. This means she only has that amount of time to learn. We are extremely early in the three-week process, however, I won't hurt to get the most out of this that she possibly can. most of the things that we already have learned, she is also forgetting almost constantly. No, I do not expect for her to learn all of these things in one night, absolutely not! however, I know that she would be remembering way more than she is if she were willing to sit down for at least 15 minutes a day in practice. She does not seem to even be given me that much. what would be the best thing to do? I do not want to be rude to her, but I also need to let her know I'm very certain terms, but I cannot continue this training with her, if she is not going to do her part. my responsibility is to train and be patient, her responsibility is to practice. maybe I am very strict of a teacher, but I know her potential. I know that she can get this. She just has to be willing to try. don't get me wrong, I am seeing some effort, just not very much. when we stepped a bit out of her comfort zone, she refuses to continue. any advice on how to handle this from a trainer's perspective would be most greatly appreciated.

Re: question for all voice over trainers: trouble interacting with items
The way I explain VoiceOver's interacting with an object or region is to think of what a sighted person does with their eyes when they want to focus in on a small region of the screen. They squint their eyes a bit and narrow their gaze and focus in on a region of the screen that might have small details. It's also akin (sort of) to the zoom feature of a camera; when in zoom mode, you can only see certain elements at a time, but you can see great detail.

Re: question for all voice over trainers: trouble interacting with items
Hi there! Well, I am not a trainer, but I thought I'd describe my difficulties understanding the interactive concept and see if it helps at all. I do understand your bookshelf analogy except for one thing. If I'm in the finder and come upon a folder name, I just issue an open command to go into it. If I don't want to open the folder, I just hit the arrow key to move to the next folder title. So, I didn't have to do anything there with VoiceOver. I'm really baffled by things like sometimes having to interact with a table and sometimes just arrowing down, as I do in the messages table in mail. So, what did I finally do for me? Gave up on trying to get the concept. I did better with rote learning. Interact here. Don't interact here. Try something and if it doesn't work, try interacting. I can't think of anything in the Windows screen-reader world that is like this. So the best phrase I was able to offer myself was this, some things just don't happen automatically in VoiceOver and you have to tell VoiceOver what you want it to look at. That's the only thing that allowed me to deal with what seems like inconsistencies in when one does or does not need to interact with something. It is kind of a goofy thing and I can see why some people would struggle. And you're right. The only real answer is practice, trial and error. See if it helps to tell your student that other people have trouble figuring this out too and we all just try things together. Maybe if your student can then relax a bit about it, not getting to that brain ache place trying to understand something, he or she may start practicing again. I know I've given myself breaks, just to let my own frustration wind down. And good for you for continuing to try to reach this person. Keep it up. Hope this helps. Veronica At 09:10 PM 6/3/2012, you wrote: The way I explain VoiceOver's interacting with an object or region is to think of what a sighted person does with their eyes when they want to focus in on a small region of the screen. They squint their eyes a bit and narrow their gaze and focus in on a region of the screen that might have small details. It's also akin (sort of) to the zoom feature of a camera; when in zoom mode, you can only see certain elements at a time, but you can see great detail.

Re: VMWare Fusion questions
Hi. I am also thinking about setting up a virtual machine. Is there a recommended amount of resources the virtual machine needs to run properly but leaving enough for the mac? Will a virtual machine run ok on a mac mini with 8 gigs of ram? And, how do I run a screen reader with an apple bluetooth keyboard? Is there a way to make this work? Or would i be better plugging in a standard usb keyboard? Is there anywhere i can go to read a tutorial or guide about setting up a virtual machine to run windows? thanks God Bless!

I have a copy of Windows 7 floating around here, and I was thinking about playing with VMWare fusion. I have a few questions before I get started though. I understand that when you're setting up the virtual machine, you allocate a certain portion of your system resources in order to run it. Let's say, for example that I allocate four of my eight gigs of ram and 250 of my 750 gigs of hard drive space for the virtual machine. When I shut down the virtual machine, will those resources be returned to my mac? That is to say, will I once again have all 8 gigs of ram and 750 gigs of hard drive space available for use on my mac? I apologize if this sounds basic. Thanks.

Re: Valiantly Trying -- And Miserably Failing -- To Post on Wordpress.com
Hi. YOu could try mars edit. I am using it to post to the blogger site as i was having the same problem. You can get mars edit for a 30 day trial, so it shouldn't cost anything to try. Just google for trial version of mars edit. Sorry i can't help with the word press site as I don't have an account with them. I'd love to see your blog though. Blessings!
