Text Expander from Smile Software

2012-07-25 Thread Harry Hogue
Hi, guys,

I would be very surprised if there isn't at least one member of this list who 
doesn't already use this application, but I just heard about it tonight on a 
podcast, and just now downloaded the free trial (the full version may be 
purchased for $35.00).  It is called Text Expander, and it allows you to assign 
abbreviations to type out your e-mail address, your e-mail signature, your home 
address, or even entire paragraphs of text.  If I had text expander running, 
for example, I could type, "You may contact me at ;em if you have any 
questions."  Then, the ";em" (without the quotes) would become my e-mail 
address.  It is fully accessible, and in fact mentions enabling universal 
access at the outset.  I will warn that it is a bit pesky at first, at least 
with the trial, as it wants yo to purchase, then sign up for the news letter, 
etc. but it truly does seem like a fantastic application.  Again, it is $35.00 
and runs on the Mac OS.  A feature which seems very useful, but which I have 
yet to try, is an ability to fill in custom fields when writing a reply,.  The 
example they give is for a response to a donation to a company, where the 
responder wishes to thank the donor and tell ways in which his or her specific 
dollar amount will be used.  I can definitely see myself using it when filling 
out online forms which constantly ask for name, e-mail, home address, 
telephone, cell, etc.

The website is www.smilesoftware.com/textexpander.  I haven't looked at any of 
the other applications on the site yet, and I was very surprised to find this 
worked as well as it does and is as accessible as it is.  So far, it is 
completely useable.  The only interesting point is that the test areas in the 
tutorial, where you go to set up the various snippets, as it calls the 
abbreviations for text to be inserted, is that the test area to try the 
abbreviations out do not work, at least when I tried it.

Again, if you have any questions feel free to ask.  I have just started using 
it, as of about ten minutes ago, but it truly seems fantastic.  For those with 
some sight, visuals such as images may also be inserted.

Take care.  Is anyone else looking forward to seeing how the dictation feature 
may or may not work so well in Mountain Lion?  I'm always unsure of dictation 
programs and things of that sort.

Take care,

Harry

Re: Text Expander from Smile Software

2012-07-25 Thread William Windels
Hello Harry,
I haven't bought this app for the mac but on the iPhone, it was very accessible.
On the mac, I find it very expensive while there is a free alternative built in 
to the mac which is doing basically  the same.
If you go to system preferences > keyboard > tab control keyboard > button 
input sources > text: you can do there the same. a difference could be that you 
can't type whole paragraphs because the return/enter key isn't accepted.
For this reason , I don't buy text expander for the mac.

If there are comments from others about that, please feel free to give a 
reaction.

kind regards,
William Windels

I'm not familiar with this aspect of the keyboard section in System 
Preferences.  I have yet to purchase this application, of course, so I will 
certainly give that a look as well.

Some applications will also have a list of keyboard shortcuts under the help

Re: Fonts in Pages and TEmplates with placeholder text in Pages and Numbers

2012-07-25 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Harry,

First of all, fonts in Pages. To change the font, select the text whose font 
needs changing (select all the text if the whole document is to be changed). 
Press Cmd-t to show the fonts. Press VO-Cmd-t to go to the first table and 
select the collection. Go to the next table and select the font (you can find 
it quickly by typing the first letter or two of its name). Go to the next table 
and choose the type face then navigate once right to the size field and type in 
the size you want. Just press Cmd-t to return to the document. For me, Times 
New Roman is announced as such.

As for selecting a template, you select from the table in the usual way, but in 
the grid, you have to bring the mouse to the VO cursor and do VO-Shift-Space 
bar to be sure of selecting the correct template.

When using a template, use the arrow keys and not the VO keys to navigate so 
that the placeholder text will be highlighted automatically and can be replaced 
by your own text.

Cheers,

Anne

RE: Mountain Lion is going to be released today, the 25th

2012-07-25 Thread Missy Hoppe
I've been counting down to this. Can't decide if I am going to buy it right 
away or not. My biggest concern is whether or not
Mountain Lion would affect my Bootcamp partitian. If it isn't going to break 
anything on that end, I'm ready to take the
plunge and get it right away. I still have my little 80 GB external drive that 
runs SL; can't afford another drive to back up
my current Lion install, and am hesitant to get rid of my SL drive to back up 
my current settings. There are still a few
things I use SL for, most noteably add text to spoken track; I was never able 
to get that working as expected under Lion.
Anyway, if anyone knows whether updating will have any effect on bootcamp, I 
would really appreciate it. I'm actually quite
excited about this update, so I hope I can get it.

Re: Mountain Lion is going to be released today, the 25th

2012-07-25 Thread Ray Foret Jr
I will put this off until I've seen, mainly from this list, how things go with 
10.8 and what is generally to be expected.  Therefore, if everyone on the list 
puts it off, I shan't have what I consider to be the most reliable indications 
of what I have to look forward to.  I rely on this list for not only assistance 
with personal Apple stuff, but, also, for honest feedback from blind Mac users 
about things to be expected with major releases.  Now, of course, I am fully 
well aware that not everyone on this list is going to update right away; and, 
that some will wait while others plulnge in.  I will do it soon myself; but, I 
wish to know generally (and therefore mainly from this list) what to expect in 
real world use circumstances.  Thanks.


Sincerely,
The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

As most of you know, I'm myself low vision, and I have games that are still

Re: Mountain Lion is going to be released today, the 25th

2012-07-25 Thread Matt Dierckens
Hi Ray, I too, will be waiting a few days/weeks.
The servers are going to be bogged down today, so no point getting it exactly 
when it comes out.
Hoping that everything works smoothly. Is there a site that will tel you what 
apps are accessible with ML?
Thanks.

brailliant BI displays

2012-07-25 Thread erik burggraaf
Hi all, I just checked the hardware compatibility list and the brailliant BI 
still isn't on it.  Does anyone happen to know if mountain lion will support it 
out of the gate?  I have a client who's been waiting a stupid long time for 
training because her unit isn't compatible.

Best,

Re: brailliant BI displays

2012-07-25 Thread Matt Dierckens
I am hoping so, because I too have the new BI32 and it didn't work with Lion. 
Here's hoping.
I think it's really rediculous, when in the manual it says it works with 
voiceover. False advertising much?

I have a BI 40, and it does work with my IPhone, but not with my Macbook. I 
believe HW did their thing, but Apple hasn't gotten it together on their

I am hoping so, because I too have the new BI32 and it didn't work with 
Lion. Here's hoping.
I think it's really rediculous, when in the manual it says it works with 
voiceover. False advertising much?

Re: mail question

2012-07-25 Thread Steve Holmes
If your list is very long or if you  have a large number of mail box folders, 
you may need to also add the shift key to these key combinations.  Remember 
that fn + VO + arrow keys will go to top and bottom of a list that is visible, 
where including the shift key will get you to the absolute top and bottom 
respectively.  

Hope this extra info helps.

Re: Mountain Lion is going to be released today, the 25th

2012-07-25 Thread Scott Berry
That's probably because it hasn't been released yet and also remember 
Apple is on California time so it may be released later in the day.  
Currently it is 6:10 in cupertino.

 Therefore, if everyone on the list puts it off, I shan't have what

Mountain Lion in one word: AMAZING!

2012-07-25 Thread Daniel Miller
Hello,

 

I just installed Mountain Lion, and it's simply amazing. Here's what I've
noticed to be fixed or improved with VoiceOver.

 

.VO now comes up speaking every time upon boot, unlike in Lion when you had
to press CMD+Tab to see if it was running or not.

.We now have access to menu bar apps, such as Dropbox, in an 'Extras' menu,
accessed the same way you'd access the battery status, etc in Lion.

.Notification Center is 100% accessible, as it is in iOS.

 

As I continue to fine more tweaks/features, I'll write back.

Re: Looking for a good stereo bluetooth headset.

2012-07-25 Thread Timothy Emmons
Hey Alison I use a Motorola HD10, which is a really good stereo bluetooth 
headset. The book Port does't have bluetooth capabilities, I wish it did but 
currently it does not. But, this particular headset works really well, batery 
life is great and the sound is quite nice as well. Not sure if it has two modes 
or not, but the buttons are very accessible and it is easy to pair with 
whatever you want to pair that with. Hope this helps and you might want to take 
a look at Amazon, Best Buy or something like that. But, it's the Motorola HD10, 
it's a step up from the motorola S9 that was previously released. Thanks again 
and tae care.

Silly question here, but this is the first time I've ever bought an OS or OS 
upgrade through the Mac app store.  I clicked the purchase button and followed 
that with the Convirm purchase button.  I now see a button that is dimmed but 
says "Downloading." I can't see any progress bars or dialogs; does this mean it 
is actually downloading the OS for me? Just wondering.  Hope I didn't miss any

problems installing 10.8

2012-07-25 Thread William Windels
Hello, 
I bought my macbook air on 26/06/2012 so I should have a free install of 10.8.


To receive a code for the app-store, I have to go : 
http://www.apple.com/benl/osx/uptodate/

There, I click on the link Here  to use the update-programme.

In the new screen , I should enter the date I bought the air but, after 
interacting with that field, Nothing of what I have typed comes on the screen 
and if I don't care of the result of that feels and fill in the other forms, I 
receive that some red fields are not filled in correctly.

This seems not accessible...
Any suggestions?

Kind regards,
William Windels

Yes, you need to go to your purchase section in the app store to see status.
Press CMD+4 to switch to purchases, and look for OS X Mountain Lion in that
table.

Re: Mountain Lion in one word: AMAZING!

2012-07-25 Thread Matthew Campbell
Hi.
If you want to see some progress, go to the purchase tab with command 4.
Use VO Command H to go to the next heading. THis should be the mountain Lion 
download. You will be able to VO arrow over and see progress.
Good luck,
Matthew Campbell.

Thanks to all of you for the quick reply.  It's poking along just fine.  
Unfortunately, I have to leave to go to work while download is progressing; I 
assume it will just just sit there after completion? I sure wouldn't want it to 
start installing while I was gone:).

 Hello,
 
 I just installed Mountain Lion, and it's simply amazing. Here's what
I've noticed to be fixed or improved with VoiceOver.
 
 .VO now comes up speaking every time upon boot, unlike in Lion when you
had to press CMD+Tab to see if it was running or not.
 .We now have access to menu bar apps, such as Dropbox, in an 'Extras'
menu, accessed the same way you'd access the battery status, etc in Lion.
 .Notification Center is 100% accessible, as it is in iOS.
 
 As I continue to fine more tweaks/features, I'll write back.

Actually, if you go to the dock and find Launchpad, you will have a progress

Re: Mountain Lion is going to be released today, the 25th

2012-07-25 Thread Tim Hornik
I have about 10 minutes before Mountain Lion is finished installing on my 
system. I cannot wait to play with some of the new features like the 
notification center and some of the other carry overs from the iOS platform. I 
am guessing we sill be spending some time learning or creating some new 
gestures and shortcuts to take advantage of the new features.

Happy clicking,
Tim

Installing mountain lion

2012-07-25 Thread Kirsten Edmondson
Hi all,
I plan to install ML on Friday or Saturday, when I come back from being away. 
However, my Mac, which I got 10 months ago, came with Lion installed. So I've 
never had to install anything big like this on a Mac before

I'm not very good at doing this sort of thing, so I wondered if there was a pod 
cast or some tips which I could use when I install it so that I get it right.

Is there anything I need to do before I install?

Where do I put it?

Will it more or less do it for me? Or do I have to get it to do things.

If anybody could direct me in the right place that would be great.

Sounds totally inept and stupid I know… But…

There's no rush, as I said, I won't be doing it till the weekend.

Thanks. 
Kirsten

Re: Installing mountain lion

2012-07-25 Thread Les Kriegler
Your question is a good one.  Let me assure you that you can do this.  First, 
you should do a complete backup of all of your data.  Also, make certain your 
programs are all up-to-date.  You can check in the App Store by searching for 
the word Updates to see if there are any updates available.  It's also a good 
idea to run Software Update to make certain you have the most current updates 
for Lion.  Now, once you've done this, just purchase Mountain Lion.  It will 
download and your system will re-boot.  You may have to turn on VO when your 
system restarts, but you will then have speech through the remainder of the 
installation process.  It took me about an hour to do the install, just 
finished, and all went well.

Loving Mountain Lion

2012-07-25 Thread Timothy Hornik
Hello everyone,

I am enjoying some of the new features within Mountain Lion. So far I played 
with the Notifcation Center, Message, and Dictation. I will cover some of the 
basics with these and installing Mountain Lion. First off, I am not an uber mac 
user, just a standard user with little to no experience with understanding 
anything outside fundamentals of Coive Over.

Installing Mountain is easy. As stated in a previous email, no worries. Just 
make sure you back-up your system. The only thing I did to prepare for the 
install was update my billing information. I did not update any software, run 
the checker, or anything else as my system is a Mac Mini from last year. The 
entire install took an hour from hitting the comfirm to buy button to logging 
in.

Notification Center Set up:
First thing to do is head to System Preferences, Keyboard, and then to the 
shortcuts tab. You will need to create a shortcut for the Notification Center, 
which is located in the Mission Control option. I am using Command Option Shift 
N for mine.

Once done with the shortcut, head back to system preferences and go to the 
Notification Center. You have a table with the various apps that use the 
Notification center. Select each one you wish to receive either an alert, 
banner, or none alert. These pop up just like they do on the iPhone and iPad.

Now use your shortcut to enable and play with the Notification Center. To move 
away from the center, either Command Tab or find the close button.

Messaging
I am really liking this feature. It using iMessage, so you can only sent a 
message to an email or another iMessage user. For this one, you need to dig it 
out from your Application folder, so hit Command Shift A or go through finder 
to find it. Once you find it, open it and insert your iCloud information. You 
will also want to go into the dock, and find the Message App. Hit VO Shift M 
and go down to Option and then keep in Dock. I say this, cause you will want 
this in your dock, unless you create a keyboard shortcut for it. 

The layout is as simple as Messaging is on the iPhone. Best part is, iMessages 
created on the Mac will appear on your iPHone and iPad with the same iCloud 
user ID. This allows you to carry on conversations from your Mac and then pick 
it up while traveling.

Dictation
Yeah, this works awesome, even with my mumbling Chicago-ish accent. Go back to 
System Preferences once last time and navigate to Dictation and Speech. Enable 
it and select your microphone. You will also need to select an activation 
method. The standard drop menu gives you Double Tapping of either the Function 
key, Command, RIght Command, or some other combination. When you are in a text 
field, double tap the key you selected and start talking. When you are done, 
double tap it again.
Thank you for your assistance,

Ok, Les, how do you know when it's ok to turn VoiceOver on when you're 
installing Mountain lion? I got my computer three days before Lion, and I did 
my install of Lion at the Apple store. I mean, until you get VoiceOver going, 
your computer has gone bye-bye for a while.

Re: Installing mountain lion

2012-07-25 Thread Kirsten Edmondson
Apparently vm is fine. 
I don't have iCloud set up, it scares me marginally more than iTunes with 
regard to loss and salvation of my data. 
Posts on list suggest its use is paramount. Should I set up iCloud before 
install? Is its use necessary? If I set it up, any tips for not losing 
everything from Mac, iPhone and iPad!?

I'm having trouble determining if I can upgrade my MacBook. On the tech specs 
page, it seems to indicate that only the aluminum MacBooks can be upgraded 
(along with Mbp, Mb Air, Mb Mini, and iMac). I bought my MacBook in February, 
2011. I've got a 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Dup processor. Am I okay?

 Hello everyone,
 
 I am enjoying some of the new features within Mountain Lion. So far I

 Installing Mountain is easy. As stated in a previous email, no 
 worries. Just make sure you back-up your system. The only thing I did 
 to prepare for the install was update my billing information. I did 
 not update any software, run the checker, or anything else as my 
 system is
>>> a Mac Mini from last year.
 The entire install took an hour from hitting the comfirm to buy button 
 to logging in.
 
 Notification Center Set up:
 First thing to do is head to System Preferences, Keyboard, and then to 
 the shortcuts tab. You will need to create a shortcut for the 
 Notification Center, which is located in the Mission Control option. I 
 am using Command Option Shift N for mine.
 
 Once done with the shortcut, head back to system preferences and go to 
 the Notification Center. You have a table with the various apps that 
 use the Notification center. Select each one you wish to receive 
 either an alert, banner, or none alert. These pop up just like they do 
 on the iPhone and iPad.
 
 Now use your shortcut to enable and play with the Notification Center. 
 To move away from the center, either Command Tab or find the close button.
 
 Messaging
 I am really liking this feature. It using iMessage, so you can only 
 sent a message to an email or another iMessage user. For this one, you 
 need to dig it out from your Application folder, so hit Command Shift 
 A or go through finder to find it. Once you find it, open it and 
 insert your iCloud information. You will also want to go into the 
 dock, and find the Message App. Hit VO Shift M and go down to Option 
 and then keep in Dock. I say this, cause you will want this in your 
 dock, unless you create a keyboard shortcut for it.
 
 The layout is as simple as Messaging is on the iPhone. Best part is, 
 iMessages created on the Mac will appear on your iPHone and iPad with 
 the same iCloud user ID. This allows you to carry on conversations 
 from your Mac and then pick it up while traveling.
 
 Dictation
 Yeah, this works awesome, even with my mumbling Chicago-ish accent. Go 
 back to System Preferences once last time and navigate to Dictation 
 and
>>> Speech.
 Enable it and select your microphone. You will also need to select an 
 activation method. The standard drop menu gives you Double Tapping of 
 either the Function key, Command, RIght Command, or some other 
 combination. When you are in a text field, double tap the key you 
 selected
>>> and start talking.
 When you are done, double tap it again.

It is $20 in the app store. That is an amazing price, though, and it
has the advantage of simply downloading and updating, not the
hours-long tedium and nail-biting of a windows upgrade (which costs a
lot more).

Re: upgrading to mountain lion was Loving Mountain Lion

2012-07-25 Thread Chris Blouch
Considering how new your machine is you should be fine. Main hindrance 
has been the video chipset. Apparently the latest UI makes heavy use of 
the GPU and some older ones aren't up to the task. osxdaily has a nice 
summary but generally if you have anything 2009 or newer you should be 
ok. If you have something older with an Intel GMA 950, Intel x3100 or 
ATI Radeon X1600 or lower you're out of luck.

Hello everyone,

I am enjoying some of the new features within Mountain Lion. So far I
played with the Notifcation Center, Message, and Dictation. I will
cover some of the basics with these and installing Mountain Lion.
First off, I am not an uber mac user, just a standard user with little
to no experience with understanding anything outside fundamentals of
Coive

Over.

Installing Mountain is easy. As stated in a previous email, no
worries. Just make sure you back-up your system. The only thing I did
to prepare for the install was update my billing information. I did
not update any software, run the checker, or anything else as my
system is

a Mac Mini from last year.

The entire install took an hour from hitting the comfirm to buy button
to logging in.

Notification Center Set up:
First thing to do is head to System Preferences, Keyboard, and then to
the shortcuts tab. You will need to create a shortcut for the
Notification Center, which is located in the Mission Control option. I
am using Command Option Shift N for mine.

Once done with the shortcut, head back to system preferences and go to
the Notification Center. You have a table with the various apps that
use the Notification center. Select each one you wish to receive
either an alert, banner, or none alert. These pop up just like they do
on the iPhone and iPad.

Now use your shortcut to enable and play with the Notification Center.
To move away from the center, either Command Tab or find the close button.

Messaging
I am really liking this feature. It using iMessage, so you can only
sent a message to an email or another iMessage user. For this one, you
need to dig it out from your Application folder, so hit Command Shift
A or go through finder to find it. Once you find it, open it and
insert your iCloud information. You will also want to go into the
dock, and find the Message App. Hit VO Shift M and go down to Option
and then keep in Dock. I say this, cause you will want this in your
dock, unless you create a keyboard shortcut for it.

The layout is as simple as Messaging is on the iPhone. Best part is,
iMessages created on the Mac will appear on your iPHone and iPad with
the same iCloud user ID. This allows you to carry on conversations
from your Mac and then pick it up while traveling.

Dictation
Yeah, this works awesome, even with my mumbling Chicago-ish accent. Go
back to System Preferences once last time and navigate to Dictation
and

Speech.

Enable it and select your microphone. You will also need to select an
activation method. The standard drop menu gives you Double Tapping of
either the Function key, Command, RIght Command, or some other
combination. When you are in a text field, double tap the key you

Tricky Process for DVD Creation of ML Install

2012-07-25 Thread Teresa Cochran
Oh, growl! Folks, I have a 3.43-gig image and a 3.37-gig DVD. Not good. 
Just be aware of this if you're doing a clean install. I'm going to use an 
8-gig USB drive. Clever Apple. ...

I thought DVDs, for data use, could hold 4.7GB? 9GB if it's a

VIP's in Mountain Lion?

2012-07-25 Thread brianna Snyder
Hi everyone, 

I'm trying to learn my way around Mountain Lion. The experience is 
alright so far. I love the access to status menus from third party apps. 

I just have a question. Does anyone know how you make a person a VIP in Mail? 

Thanks in advance,

Anyone who has upgraded to Mountain Lyon and who had a VM Fusion 
installation, please let us know if the machine is still working nicely under 
Mountain Lyon.  I'm especially interested in those with a JAWS VM as I had

Thanks for any reports.

Re: Installing mountain lion

Out of curiosity, has anyone done this with bootcamp? I have refit
installed, so I press m for mac or w for windows when I push the power
button. Should I press m after each reboot, or just leave it alone?
I've managed to update to 10.7.2, .3, and .4 okay, but I've never done
a full OS upgrade (my mini came with Lion).

Re: VIP's in Mountain Lion?

2012-07-25 Thread Ronald van Rhijn
Hi Brianna,

Only way i found so far is the following:
Open the message of the sender you want to add to VIPs.
Then interact with the Headerstext group (I don't know exactly how it's called 
in English cause I use Dutch, but I mean at the top of the message body).
Then at the far most left interact with the Headertext and focus on the address 
hou want to add to VIPs and hit vo+shift+m for the quickmenu and select Add to 
VIP.
that should do the trick.
Hopefully there is a shortcut for this as well:)
Kindly,
Ronald

It'll do it as an upgrade, and yes, if it says downloading dimmed, that means 
it's going, and eventually your installer window will pop up on the screen.  Be 
ware, I have a really really sweet connection over here, and even for me, it 
took a day and a year to finish the download, so don't be alarmed if it takes 
forever and a day.  That's perfectly normal.

Your system will restart twice.  Once to start the actual install, and a second 
time once it's finished.  Be ware that after the first restart, Voiceover will 
need to be enabled again with command F5, or FN+Command+F5, depending on how 
you had it previously set.

No, it won't wipe your drive, if you go through the app store to do it.  It's 
simply an upgrade.  Now, having said that though, I still would encourage you 
first to make a backup.  Be ware that because of the fact you're upgrading to a 
new version of OSX, I do not think, though I could be wrong, that you will be 
able to restore from a ™ backup from a previous version of OSX.  Your best bet 
would be either manually to back things up to an external drive, or to DVD's, 
or even better, do what I did, and buy a copy of Super Dooper.  Trust me.  It's 
really worth it!  OK, there is the free Carbon Copy Cloner, yes, but me 
personally… I never really could get that thing to work correctly.  Don't 
really know why, but it kept giving me errors left and right when I tried 
cloning.

No, you'll be fine.  You have to tell it to install once downloaded.

Re: Installing mountain lion

2012-07-25 Thread Les Kriegler
When you start the installation, VO will already be running, or at least it 
should be.  You only have to enable it when you re-start.  As to when to invoke 
VO, I waited about a minute or so, and tried it.  If it doesn't work, just keep 
trying with Command F5 and it will give the familiar message, VoiceOver on and 
then you're good to go.  The voice will be different, but when you re-start a 
second time once Mountain Lion is installed, the familiar Alex will return.

If I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, without doing a reformat of my

from a backup, or will all my stuff still be there?  I'm still mired in

Re: iMessage with a Mac

2012-07-25 Thread Chris Gilland
If I understand correctly, IMessage replaced IChat.  It's identically the same 
exact interface, except that now IMessage is included as one of the protocols 
in addition to AIM, Jabber, etc. that you can use.  So, my guess it you set it 
up within the app, which should be in the dock.  If not, it's definitely in 
your applications directory.

Hello,

 

I just installed Mountain Lion, and it's simply amazing. Here's what I've
noticed to be fixed or improved with VoiceOver.

 

.VO now comes up speaking every time upon boot, unlike in Lion when you had
to press CMD+Tab to see if it was running or not.

.We now have access to menu bar apps, such as Dropbox, in an 'Extras' menu,
accessed the same way you'd access the battery status, etc in Lion.

.Notification Center is 100% accessible, as it is in iOS.

 

As I continue to fine more tweaks/features, I'll write back.

Re: Loving Mountain Lion

2012-07-25 Thread Mike Arrigo
One of my mac minis will not run it, I plan on upgrading fairly soon, 
but I think I will watch the list traffic for a little while first just 
to make sure there are no major issues. I may wait until 10.8.1, not 
sure yet, I'm sure I will probably upgrade within the next few weeks.

Original message:

Good information, thanks! I plan to upgrade in the next few days,
maybe today, and I'll keep this all in mind.

Hello everyone,



I am enjoying some of the new features within Mountain Lion. So far I played
with the Notifcation Center, Message, and Dictation. I will cover some of
the basics with these and installing Mountain Lion. First off, I am not an
uber mac user, just a standard user with little to no experience with
understanding anything outside fundamentals of Coive Over.



Installing Mountain is easy. As stated in a previous email, no worries. Just
make sure you back-up your system. The only thing I did to prepare for the
install was update my billing information. I did not update any software,
run the checker, or anything else as my system is a Mac Mini from last year.
The entire install took an hour from hitting the comfirm to buy button to
logging in.



Notification Center Set up:
First thing to do is head to System Preferences, Keyboard, and then to the
shortcuts tab. You will need to create a shortcut for the Notification
Center, which is located in the Mission Control option. I am using Command
Option Shift N for mine.



Once done with the shortcut, head back to system preferences and go to the
Notification Center. You have a table with the various apps that use the
Notification center. Select each one you wish to receive either an alert,
banner, or none alert. These pop up just like they do on the iPhone and
iPad.



Now use your shortcut to enable and play with the Notification Center. To
move away from the center, either Command Tab or find the close button.



Messaging
I am really liking this feature. It using iMessage, so you can only sent a
message to an email or another iMessage user. For this one, you need to dig
it out from your Application folder, so hit Command Shift A or go through
finder to find it. Once you find it, open it and insert your iCloud
information. You will also want to go into the dock, and find the Message
App. Hit VO Shift M and go down to Option and then keep in Dock. I say this,
cause you will want this in your dock, unless you create a keyboard shortcut
for it.



The layout is as simple as Messaging is on the iPhone. Best part is,
iMessages created on the Mac will appear on your iPHone and iPad with the
same iCloud user ID. This allows you to carry on conversations from your Mac
and then pick it up while traveling.



Dictation
Yeah, this works awesome, even with my mumbling Chicago-ish accent. Go back
to System Preferences once last time and navigate to Dictation and Speech.
Enable it and select your microphone. You will also need to select an
activation method. The standard drop menu gives you Double Tapping of either
the Function key, Command, RIght Command, or some other combination. When
you are in a text field, double tap the key you selected and start talking.
When you are done, double tap it again.
