 Hi all.
 So i'm thinking of selling my macbook pro.
 The only reason i want to sell it is because i want a lighter laptop

 I will be commuting for several hours a day and will need a lighter

 My question is, since i purchased the upgrade for the laptop, will i
 have
 to transfer the mountain lion upgrade?
 If somebody were to ever restore it.
 Also, if anybody is interested please feel free to contact me.

Re: using windows on a mac

[Mauricio Almeida]

Greetings,

Once your installation is complete, there is no slowing to your
system, simply because you will always be running one system at once.
the process of switching can be done easily by going to system
preferences>startup disc and selecting windows on boothcamp.
after that, your computer will restart on windows.
to come back on the mac, simply visit the boothcamp control pannel
(type booth on the search box of windows seven's start menu) and ask
it to restart on the mac again.

enjoy,

Mauricio

Re: shortcut keys for vo

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Alex,

You can't change the shortcuts for VO commands, the idea is that at least one 
basic set of commands will remain consistent on every machine, no matter what 
the user does. The commanders give us the flexibility to assign commands to 
shortcuts that suit our personal needs.

Cheers,

Anne

Bootcamp again

[Phil Halton]

Okay, I'm gonna do it - I'm gonna install windows7 on my iMac! But, My sighted 
assistant is a extremely technically challenged person, so I would like to know 
the level of difficulty they will encounter. I can get them to read the screen 
and help me select combo boxes and buttons etc, as long as they don't have to 
do any thinking or require any technical skills.

Also, I have a wired keyboard, but no mouse. Can I get through the install 
process without a mouse?

Finally, I assume loading a screen reader, like JAWS, will simply be a matter 
of inserting a CD with the installer package and running the setup? Once I have 
speech in windows I should be okay from there.

Any help, info, or suggestions greatly appreciated - and please don't skimp on 
the details.

thanks

Re: shortcut keys for vo

[Alex Hall]

Thanks. I didn't think it ible, but you never know until you ask. I have 
re-enabled the keyboard commander now and am busy modifying and building useful 
scripts which I'll share once I am happy with them. I also had a problem with 
the keyboard commander when I first started out since I thought it would get in 
the way of other, application-specific commands, but I don't think I have ever 
seen an application use just the option key as a modifier yet.

Re: Selecting to End of Line in Safari Edit Fields

I'm having the same issue in Safari. I figured it was a quirk of VO and ML, but

Re: i o s and visually impaired users

[Shawn Krasniuk]

Hi Ed and others. I actually answered my own dumb A** question last night. I 
went into the App Store, changed the roter to headings, and sure enough, I was 
able to navigate the search results properly. Before I did this, I used to 
press and or hold down either side of the screen to navigate it, but 99% of the 
time Voiceover didn't read the next or previous search result. So thanks. It 
would be nice if we could tell our iPhones to keep it on headings when we're in 
the App Store. Or like on the Mac, set an activity so that the roter is 
automatically on headings. Thanks again.

Re: Bootcamp again

[Mauricio Almeida]

hello,

you can definitely do that without a mouse because you can still click
with the mac one.
they will encounter no difficulty.

here is how this will go (number is below, you may call during installation)

1: run boothcamp utility from utilities folder.
2: select download apple support software, as well as install windows 7.
3: insert a usb drive and save the folder it downloaded. you will need
it, i promise.
it should move on to installing windows:
4: insert your disc, and click on continue.
4: it will restart.
that is where you need a sighted person.
they should select the following screens according to your preference:
language
timezone
keyboard
type of installation (go on the normal one and select boothcamp)

wait the installation to finish.
install the boothcamp software you saved (basic setup)
install speech

enjoy your new life.

RE: using windows on a mac

Let's get this straight because I have been rebooting to switch between the
two lol.
System preferences and start up disc when I am using the mac and windows
seven, I can click computer and look for the boothcamp control pannel type
booth, bring up the context menu and click um, from there I don't know.
If you have boot camp set up can you send the list steps on how to do this
for the benefit of all users.

RE: Bootcamp again

[Paul Hunt]

Hello everyone. Please be careful. Part of the process is formatting your
partition. You must choose bootcamp and never change the partitions from
Windows. If you make any changes to your partitions you could wipe out Lion.
You won't know this unless you read the Bootcamp installation guide which is
the first step in the process. Since you will need sighted assistance to
install Windows with Bootcamp anyway, I recommend that you print the
installation guide and ask him or her to read it before you start the
process. The installation is straightforward and is well documented in the
installation guide. I did it with my son-in-law for my wife's computer.
Since I didn't have sighted assistance available when I needed to install
Windows 7 on my mac, I downloaded and save the support files without
installing Windows.
Since I have Apple Care, I scheduled a Genius Appointment at an apple store
and they did it for me. We're fortunate in Austin because we have an Apple
store and a Microsoft store. Since the Mini is so small, I can take it to
the store and they will do this for me. It's also an opportunity to point
out to the Microsoft staff that their OS installations are not accessible.
By the way, Microsoft recommends that bootcamp partitions be used. Also,
both Microsoft and Apple personnel understand that people run Windows on
macs all the time and they will make reasonable efforts to help.

Re: using windows on a mac

[Cameron Strife]

Hi. You don't need to go through all of that to reboot in a different
OS. Just restart your mac and when you hear the startup sound, hold
down the option key for a few seconds. This will bring up a list of
operating systems which will allow you to choose the one you'd like to
boot into. Hitting the left arrow once should select OSX and the right
arrow should select windows. Just hit enter once you make your
selection and it will boot into the chosen OS. If you have more than
two operating systems installed, you'll be able to arrow through the
list as above, but, you might want to get a sighted person to tell you
the layout on the screen.

Hope that helps,

Cameron.

Re: Bootcamp again

[Phil Halton]

Thanks kimsan,

I think I'll be fine. I've read the installation and setup guide and have 
downloaded the support drivers. All I need is a copy of windows7 which I'll 
order from microsoft. I think I'm going to hire a sightet, tech minded person 
to go through the install with me. I'm still wondering if I need a mouse for 
the install, or if the apple wired keyboard will suffice. Is a wired mouse 
necessary?

Re: python development on the mac

[Bejarano, Rafael P.]

I use TextEdit, although my programs are relatively simple, so I haven't really 
had a need for a full-fledged editor.

I haven't found an easy-to-use python GUI solution for the Mac, so if you know 
of one, please let me know what it is.

Re: Trouble Interacting with the HTML Area in Messages

[Chris]

Thanks for duplicating the same problem I had and I think still having 
despite a reinstall of Mountain Lion. No solution I have here. Sorry!

HI,

Just today I started having a problem with the Messages app. I'm running the 
latest version of Mountain Lion.

When I first start messaging someone, I'm able to interact with the HTML 
conversation area fine. However, after carrying on the conversation for 
sometime, VoiceOver suddenly refuses to interact with the HTML area.

The only solution I've found for this so far is to quit Messages and re open 
it. This works for a short time and then I am unable to interact again.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Cheers,
Nic

RE: using windows on a mac

[Kimsan]

My wife told me the lay out and its OSX, windows and recovery something.
The reason why I want to find out another way, unless someone can clarify
this but when rebooting and pressing option, will it be focused on the last
OS you were on or in my case will it be on mac OSX.
Since we are on this topic, how do I boot from windows or the mac by
default?
Someone mentioned this but I lost it.
Thanks.

Re: using windows on a mac

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

It will be focused on whatever is the default OS at start up.  If you have the 
Mac OS set, it will always be on the Mac OS by default even if you just 
restarted your computer from windows.

Re: using windows on a mac

[Rodney Haynie]

If you use the press and hold the Option key method, every time you
will land on the OSX option, which is the first option. That is
consistent.

Personally, I do not use the other methods.

HTH.

Re: Trouble Interacting with the HTML Area in Messages

[Gavin Grundlingh]

Hi,

What seemed to resolve that issue for me is moving the VoiceOver cursor to the 
html content area and pressing Control-Option-A. This should automatically 
interact with the html content area and start reading whatever is in it. I 
sometimes have this problem in Skype, too.

RE: using windows on a mac

[Paul Hunt]

The order is OSX on the left, Windows in the middle and the recovery
partition on the right. If you have your system set up to boot in OSX by
default and press and hold the Option key then you press the right arrow
then the enter key to boot into Windows. On the other hand, if you have your
system set up to boot in Windows by default, then press your option key hold
it down then press the left arrow to boot into OSX.

Re: shortcut keys for vo

[Eric Caron]

Hi Alex,

If you are wanting to change the key assignments to make the commands 
easier why not use the key
remap4macbook application to do this?  You could either make the caps lock key 
into a Voice Over Key or add a control key to the right side of your keyboard 
giving yourself another set of VO keys.

Re: shortcut keys for vo

[Chris Bruinenberg]

i really do like using the caps lock.
It does make somethings quite a bit faster.
One thing to note: if you use the keyboard commander, you will have to change 
the right command in the options.

Re: shortcut keys for vo

[Alex Hall]

I have remapped my caps lock key, I did that almost as soon as you first 
emailed us the directions. My only thought was that the vo-cmd commands, like h 
for heading or t for table, are not fully used (there are letters and 
characters unassigned) and some are useless to me, so I'd like to modify them 
to make more sense for my situation. Still, the keyboard commander is really 
helpful and does what I want. What's this about changing the right command key? 
I selected the right option key as the modifier and all is working as expected.

Re: iPad and iOS 6

[Lisette Wesseling]

Hi
I am using in iPad 2 and all is running fine including the onscreen keyboard. 
The only thing which is not working so far is the full Karen voice. I choose to 
turn compact voice off, and it stays on. I'm not greatly bothered by this. 
Everything else is working fine for me.

Hey Chris,

I run Ios 6 and it runs beautifully for me.  I use the mode where you 
type and then you touch the letter you like.

Finally!: An Audio Action/Adventure Game on the Mac!; BlindSide

[Teresa Cochran]

Hi, guys,

I just played this on the Mac, because I have an IPod Touch 4 and it is very 
sluggish. On the Mac, the game window stays on top and VO is automatically 
disabled. you just use the arrow keys to navigate, and the spacebar to shoot.

It's not available on the Mac app store. It's on the Desura game portal.

This game reminds me a lot of Terraformers, as far as the interface is 
concerned. However, it's a horror game with shades of Day of the Triffids. The 
game is $2.99 US, and it is apparently Episode 1, which leads me to believe 
there will be more episodes to come. In that sense I'd say it's similar to Soul 
Trapper.

Here's the home page, which has download links and info:
http://www.blindsidegame.com

Have fun. I did. :)

Teresa

Re: selling my mac

[Pam Francis]

I have both an air & a macbook pro. They both have their place. However the 
pro, especially the 2011 edition is the last one upgradable. The air is 
completely sealled as are the new macbook pros. I am going to hang on to my 
2011 macbook pro as long as software upgrades will allow. The air is lighter, 
but there is a definite trade off.

Absolutely. Most games of this type have been priced at $20 to $30. The price 
of this game frankly surprised me.

Re: selling my mac

[Chris Bruinenberg]

Hi Pam.
What kind of tradeoffs do you feel you have with the macbook air?
I have already stuck a samun sad in mine so the hard drive really isn't an 
issue/
DO you notice that the macbook air runs cooler then the pro?
It's small things such as the usb's on opposite sides.
Ha ha, i know i may sound crazy i'm sure.
Thanks for any help.

MBA versus MBP (was selling my mac)

[Alex Hall]

I think what is being pointed to is the inability to update the insides. On the 
2011 pros and earlier, you could, say, put in more ram or a bigger hard drive. 
With the Air line, and the 2012 Pros, that is no longer possible. You must get 
the computer with the internals you want when you first buy a machine, because 
there is no way to upgrade or replace anything as all parts are meshed with the 
motherboard instead of being the plug-in type many of us are used to. Of 
course, the Airs also have less ports, and only the 13-inch ones have a line-in 
jack, so that's something else to think about.

Re: selling my mac

[Eugenia Firth]

I just thought of something. Is the issue is wagging your Mac around, you might 
consider what I do a lot when I have a lot of stuff, including my back, that I 
want to carry around. I got myself a rolling backpack. I have a case for my 
mac, but when I want to add a braille display including the stand, into the 
mix, I put it in my rolling backpack. Just a thought.

Hello, I would like to create some more folders  in the side bar of Finder.

Also could somebody please explain what a smart folder is and the difference

Re: selling my mac

[Esther]

Hi Chris, Alex, Pam, and Others,

Just a small correction: the 2012 models of the MacBook Pro in 13"
size are upgradable in the same way that the 20122 MacBook Pros are.
It is only the 15" MacBook Pros with Retina graphics that can't be
upgraded among the 2012 MacBook Pro line.  Like the MacBook Air,the
memory on these units is soldered onto the logic board, so you need to
decide how much memory you want when you purchase your system.  The
15" Retina models also use proprietary SSD drives, and are hard to
open up.  While the Unibody MacBook Pros use small screws, and are not
as easy to open and upgrade as the earlier models, there are standard
kits for this available from Other World Computing and other sources,
and you can upgrade both memory and hard drives.

Anne's correct that the MacBook Air models are very nice to use, and I
don't miss the lack of an optical drive in the MBA, but I can use the
optical drive of another Mac if I need this.  I will point out that
you can use the SD slot on the MacBook Air (or on the MacBook Pro, for
that matter), to add some additional storage capacity.  There's a
Kickstarter project called "The Nifty Mini-Drive" that has designed a
MicroSD card adapter for the SD card slot in these devices.  The idea
is that it would sit flush with the side of your laptop, and you could
insert micro SD cards that you purchase into the adapter to use as
additional storage. This is more significant if you have a MacBook Air
with an SSD drive that is only 128 GB or 256 GB than if you have a
MacBook Pro, because being able to add a 64 GB (or larger, in future)
micro SD card has more of an impact for storage, even if it's not
giving you the SSD drive access speeds.

Here's the Kickstarter link:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1342319572/the-nifty-minidrive

The estimated delivery date is November.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: Create folders in Finder

[Esther]

Hi Max,

Usually you can create new folders with the Command-Shift-N shortcut
in Finder, unless you are in a directory where you don't have
permission to do this -- like under an account that somebody else
owns, or a directory that is limited to System files and folders.
When you use this shortcut, or equivalently, when you navigate to the
File menu after going to the Finder menu bar with VO-M or COntrol-F2,
your new folder gets created in your current directory. So if I've
navigated to my home directory with Command-Shift-H, using that
shortcut will create a new folder under the top level of my user
account, while if I use Command-Shift-O to navigate to my Documents
folder before issuing that shortcut, the new folder will be created in
my Documents folder.  (I can also navigate with my arrow keys in
Finder to subfolders if I want to create the new folder somewhere
else.)

If you want to place a folder in the Finder sidebar, first create it
in the location that you want, then select it and use the Command-T
shorcut for "Add to Sidebar".  You can also find this option under the
"File" menu as "Add to Sidebar" if you don't remember the shortcut.
To remove an item from the sidebar, when you're focused on that item
bring up the Contextual menu with VO-SHift-M, and select the "Remove
from Sidebar" option.

Smart folders are folders whose contents are specified by rules rather
than by selecting specific items.  They can also be the saved results
of specific searches that you do in Finder.

Cheers,

Esther

Re: Create folders in Finder

[Alex Hall]

You seem quite knowledgeable about finder, so perhaps you can explain this? 
Why, when I paste items, do they sometimes paste into the folder I am in, and 
sometimes into the folder I am pointing to? If I am in my home folder and 
paste, for instance, I might get the item in home. However, say I'm sitting on 
the documents folder when I paste, sometimes the item goes into home and 
sometimes it goes into documents. I usually use list view if that makes a 
difference.

Re: DVD Player Again

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

If you can Shutdown your Mac, do so.  Then when you start it up again, hold 
down the trackpad button while the startup chime is sounding.  Hold it down 
until the DVD ejects, usually it ends up taking about 5 seconds.  If it does 
not eject in a reasonable amount of time, release the mouse/trackpad button, 
let it start up and then try again.  Sometimes, if you are too quick (before 
the chime) or too late after the chime, it will not eject.

Later...

Re: Create folders in Finder

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

Interesting, I use column view, and I don't have this inconsistency when 
pasting or moving items into a folder.  I just navigate to the folder I want to 
place the item without actually entering it, and then pasting..

Re: Calibres ebook-converter

[Cheryl Homiak]

i saw these posts about calibre. I had tried it once before but found it 
inaccessible and didn't know it could be run from the commandline. I just 
reinstalled it and still find it pretty much inaccessible with voiceover though 
I did manage to select a location for the folder. But everything in the menus 
is dimmed. I read in the information about calibre that you need to go into 
Preferences to install command line tools but this also looks inaccessible to 
me. Am I missing something here or can somebody tell me what to do? I do have 
the posts giving the terminal commands to use to convert a book. Also where can 
I find a list of what file types it will convert.

Thanks.

Re: Create folders in Finder

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

When in List View, I've found that things get pasted into the level of the 
Window title.  That is, for example, if I press cmd-shift-h to go into my Home 
directory then create a new folder or paste an item, the item is put into the 
Home directory level.  Even if folders are expanded or you've navigated within 
an expanded folder, because the window title is my Home directory, the item is 
placed in my Home Directory.  Therefore, the best way to ensure that things are 
placed where you wish when in List View, navigate to the desired folder and 
cmd-o (Open) the folder and then paste or create the item.  In this case, 
because you've opened the given folder, the window title is now changed and 
whatever is placed there will, guaranteed, be placed in the desired location.  
This has been the behaviour in List view from way back in the Classic OS 
versions of the MacOS.

Save dialogs act a little different than this when in List view but This works 
every time when in the Finder itself.

Later...

Re: Calibres ebook-converter

[Cheryl Homiak]

Never mind. I tried the directions that had been posted (like I should have 
done in the first place) and they work. I didn't have to install anything or 
open the application. Would be nice if it was accessible from within the 
application itself but I'm glad it can still be used.

PDFPen for iPhone Now Available

[Emilio Hernandez]

Hello everyone,

First, than you Esther for replying to my post inquiring about dragging & 
dropping a bookmark into the toolbar for Instapaper.
Smile Software just released PDFPen for iPhone. We are unfortunately going to 
assume that it is not voiceover compatible? Want to try it at the introductory 
price, but fear it will be like the Mac client.
Just my thoughts.

Chers.
