Re: Word processing on the mac

[Daniela Rubio]

Hello:
You are in a list where you can find very good advice of expert mac users, but 
I can tell you that there are a lot of work arounds on what you are saying. I 
use iWork with no trouble each day more. The more you use it, the more 
comfortable you will feel with it. It is just about learning a new way of doing 
things.
Take care!

SALUDOS, DANIELA R.T.

Accessible blogging client for Eric

[Allison Manzino]

Hi Eric,

As Robert said, use marsedit. I love it and use it for my blog at:
http://www.allisonabroad.com


Well worth the price in my opinion. Have a great weekend.

Knowledge Navigator - YouTube

[Eugenia Firth]

Hi Guys. 
My husband sent me this YouTube link, and he assures me that Apple made this as 
sort of a "this is how computers can be in the future." Please note that it 
won't work on your iPhone or iPad; you have to use your computer. Also, I had 
to copy the link into Safari before it would work for me. 

Of course, this computer's not real yet, but who knows one of these days. 
If I had a computer like this, my first instruction would be "Don't you dare 
show me anything graphic unless I tell you otherwise." Some people have said 
they wouldn't want their computer to be this smart. I say "Hop to it computer!" 
Just think, if these computers were made right, no more accessibility problems. 
It reminds me of Star Trek, and it would definitely be a giant step forward for 
us if a computer ever did anything like this. So, go to science fiction land 
for a little while and dream on; have fun. Who knows, maybe we'll get it 
someday.

Re: can you upgreat your MBA2012?

[irid domnori]

Hi,
Yes you can.
You can buy a ram or a SSD and  upgrade it by yourself or anyone can do it for 
you.
A friend of mine recently bought a 16 gb ram for something like 70 euros for 
her 2011 mac book pro.

RE: can you upgreat your MBA2012?

[Daniel Miller]

Hi,

 

Actually, Apple changed the way the SDD is connected to the logic board on
the 2012 MBA. It's a completely different connector as opposed to the one
used in the 2011 model.

As for ram, that's also only upgradable at time of order.

Re: can you upgreat your MBA2012?

[Matthew Campbell]

Hi.
To add to what Daniel said, this is the air not the pro that is being asked 
about.
The air isn't upgradeable. The RAM and the SSD are both soldered to the 
motherboard. This is why the upgrades can only be gotten at the time of 
purchase.
HTH,
Matthew Campbell.

Hi,
Ok, I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about the mac book pro.
I don't know about the air but about the mac book pro I'm sure you can change 
the ram.

time capsule, and airport extreme's competition?

So, earlier this month western digital releases a line of routers, and looks
like they are similar to the time capsule, and airport extreme that apple
offer.  Read more about them here

http://www.wdc.com/en/products/network/routers/

That link gives a detailed chart on each items features.

The individual links below explain them individually.  The one that says
central, is what has the internal HD.  Enjoy

may need a new machine

[Eric Oyen]

hey guys. I may need a newer machine. my current machine cannot support later 
versions of OS X. unfortunately, I find myself in a situation where there is no 
possible way for me to save up funds to get more current (rent went up, among 
other things). does anyone know of a charity or organization that can help with 
this? I would prefer not to go to a windows machine (NVDA works on most apps, 
but has limitations and HAWS is far more than I can afford). Even the cost of a 
windows based netback is more than I can afford. Frankly, I would rather have 
an apple product as accessibility is built in.

anyone have suggestions on where to look? google isn't exactly being useful on 
this.

Downloading bard books with the mac

[Rachel Feinberg]

Hi Everyone,

I've had the mac for a month and a half and absolutely love it thus far. I was 
recently presented with a challenge when downloading bard books. Is there some 
sort of progress indicator I could somehow receive so I know when it has 
finished downloading in Safari? And beyond that, what is the best way to 
extract the zip contents of the folder? Wehn I use the default program on the 
mac, or even iZip, it doesn't extract anything useful and i get a folder with a 
.zip.CPGZ extension. I ended up using windows through a virtual machine to get 
the  book downloaded  and extracted as their was progress indicator's given, 
and I was able to successfully extract the folder contents then put it onto a 
supported device.
Help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Rachel

Re: Downloading bard books with the mac

[Mark BurningHawk Baxter]

Rachel:
I download BARD books with the Mac all the time.  I'm using Snow Leopard and 
Safari, but the process cannot be much different across systems.

Simply click on the "download," link as you would do.  The progress of your 
downloads can be seen by interaction with which group has the file name of the 
progress you want to check, and VO right-arrowing once to hear it's status; how 
much is down, how fast it's going, now long it will take.

Once you download the ..chip files, any extractor will work; I use the 
unarchiver myself.  You cannot play the files that are in the resulting 
unpacked folder, at least I don't know of an app that plays ppg files.  
However, you can insert a thumb drive into your Mac's USB port and copy the 
folders into an "Audio+podcasts," folder on that thumb drive for an NLs player 
or whatever.

Let me know if you'd like to talk about it further, we can set up a time to 
talk.

A couple more questions about embeded attachment documents

[Johnny Angel!]

Thanks to whoever it was who sent me the much needed information on how to open 
an embeded attachment.

When using the Command+Y command, the attachment document.txt opens in 
something called quick look.First, how can I get this txt doc to open in Pages? 
 Or what is the select all command so I can paste it into Pages.

Also, is it possible to open more then one or two docs at the same time and alt 
tab between them so I can copy and move text between them?  How can I do this?  
FYI, There are four txt documents I need to be able to manipulate in Pages..

Thank you,

Johnny

Re: Downloading bard books with the mac

[Christina]

Hi, I am on Snow leopard.  If I want to see my progress I need to open the 
downloads window.  I can do this by either pressing command plus option, plus 
L.  I can also get to this via the menu bar then going to the window menu drop 
down.  Once, You are in the downloads window in Safari, you can VO around and 
interact with the list and you can access this info.  Also, my mac 
automatically unzips my DTB files for me once the download is complete.  I 
think there is a setting to have the mac automatically open downloaded items,  
I think this is why it automatically unzips the files for me.  I am sorry, but 
I cannot remember where I saw this setting.

HTH,

Re: may need a new machine

Are you a student or looking for work? If so, your state's vocational 
rehabilitation agency may be able to justify the purchase of a mac if it

Re: Downloading bard books with the mac

[Eric Oyen]

you will have to download either a 3rd party app or use archive utility 1.06. I 
use the latter and it creates the proper folders and places the files in there. 
after that, moving them to a usb stick is trivially easy.

Strange mail issue: "this message cannot be sent by the server" etc.

[Christine Grassman]

Why are some of my messages being sent out with no problem, while others are 
getting a "cannot send message using this server" message? There is seemingly 
no rhyme or reason to what is being "rejected" and kept in my Outbox.
Thanks for any ideas.

Re: Downloading bard books with the mac

[Rachel Feinberg]

I appreciate your explanation as well. So I interact with the item and choose 
the  window menu from within the downloads folder to see progress? And the 
setting to have items automatically unzipped might be nice as well. Will see if 
it can be tracked down.
Thanks again.

Re: A couple more questions about embeded attachment documents

[Rachel Feinberg]

You can vo Left arrow from within the quick look window, and go to the "open 
file" button. then it'll open in the default, which must be pages for you.
Also if you open 1 file in pages, then press command+o to open others, 
(referring to the 4 documents you mentioned), you can press command+` to cycle 
through open windows of that application and in your case, your documents and  
move text as desired.
hope this helps some,

Re: Downloading bard books with the mac

[Eric Caron]

Hi Rachel,

It sounds like you are getting many different ways of approaching 
downloading books from NLS BARD.  I'll add a few comments that I hope help.

I'm using Lyon and Safari.  I have the Safari preference setting under General 
set to open safe files after downloading.  This means the file is unzipped 
automatically so I have the book waiting for me and ready to go in my downloads 
folder.  I don't generally worry about the download status but If I want to 
check it you can go to the downloads list and interack with the group 
associated with the download and the information is there.

Once the book is downloaded I simply either copy it to the NLS cartridge I 
purchased from American Printing House For the Blind and it works just like a 
NLS book.  Only I fit many books onto the single cartridge.  To access the 
multiple books just hold down the play button on the NLS machine and it will 
open the bookshelf.  
To copy to the cartridge you will need a USB extender cable also sold 
at the American Printing House for the Blind.

If I'm using the Victor reader stream then I copy the folder from my Mac to the 
book shelf folder on the SD card and it works fine. 

If you don't have a NLS cartridge for the NLS player a thumb drive will work 
the same way. 

Hope this helps.  I find the process quick and easy on the Mac.

Best.

eRic Caron

Re: Downloading bard books with the mac

[Rachel Feinberg]

Hi eric,

i have the option in Safari checked to open safe downloads, but I usually don't 
see the book extracted after the process has finished. and where is this group 
located I must interact with in order to see the status? In the downloads 
folder?
Thanks so much for the  comments and for the specific place to find the 
automatically open downloads option.

Re: Downloading bard books with the mac

[Eric Oyen]

it is in Downloads unless you have chosen a save as dialog. one of the icons in 
the downloads pane has an icon called "view in finder" and it will open a 
finder window for you. to interact with a zip file with something other than 
the default application do:
ctrl-option-shift-M and that will open a dialog box with a number of items 
(open, open with..., move to trash, etc.). choose the open with if you have 
other apps installed that can handle zip files.
