Re: AppleCare paid for itself

[ppowells09]

I have not had that serious of an issue, however,  I have had reason to use my 
apple care. I know without it I would have been paying money I could not afford 
to keep my mac running properly.

Initially, they wanted my discs to reinstall software, but, they found out they 
had a copy of Mountain Lion (which I purchased anyway) so they installed that.  
Not only had they reinstalled Mountain Lion, but, the new hard-drive I received 
was a 500GB hard-drive.  And, all at no charge.  Guess they don't ship as many 
320GB drives anymore.  I'm not complaining.

Here's hoping I get even more use out of this one.

Re: where am I on voiceover?

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

Did you read my entire e-mail?  I mentioned that if it didn't work with vo+F1, 
then try fn+vo+F1.  Basically, just add the fn key as well.

Thank you kindly,

  Hi Chris,
  Thank you for your response on my query, but it didn't work in my system, 
could it be something changed in Mountain Lion?
   I am using MacBook Pro.

Yes.  Vo+F1.  If you do it twice in a row, you'll land in the app chooser 
menu of all your currently running applications.

Mind you, if vo+F1 doesn't work, then try fn+vo+F1.

Re: please can some one recommend an accessible alternative to iTunes that will allow me to mannege my current iTunes libary and iPod?

[Shawn Krasniuk]

Hi Scott. I appologize for that whole "Apple Hater" comment. I said that 
because you were thinking of switching to Android but since you have three 
Apple products I take that back. Yeah, when I updated my Itunes, I didn't like 
a few things that it did. That whole grid view thing was stupid though I 
changed it back to the classic view after I learned how, which by the way you 
don't need a hack for it as someone said earlier in this thread. And I didn't 
like that when I updated it changed my shuffling setting to off without my 
knowing it. These are minor annoyances, but I have faith that Apple will make a 
fix in the next update.

Re: Update on ChangeReaction and Stacey's Issue

[Chris H]

That's pretty cool updates to this game will be released just like that. 
On the Windows version I think only one version was released and no 
updates that I can recall anyway.

Hi all,


We have an update pending review for ChangeReaction, so as soon as Apple 
approves it, it will be available.

With Stacey's help, as well as the help of one of our beta testers, we were 
able to find the problem that occurs on some older Macs running Snow Leopard, 
and it is fixed now, along with another very minor bug that someone found. (You 
can pause the game during the intro sequence leading up to the starting pistol, 
which causes problems as there is nothing to pause yet at that point.)

Thanks to Stacey, and we here at Draconis hope that everyone is enjoying the 
game. There are more titles to come, and your support means the world, as it 
will continue to allow us to make great games.

Yeah, I have the same problem.

What I find interesting is that, when I first got the thing, all I had to do 
was remove the USB antenna and sound would return to the main speakers. Used

Re: AppleCare paid for itself

Hi guys
Well, poor  Apple. They  replaced my charger. Don't do what I did. I wrapped it 
around it's self one time too many and broke the cord in it

I paid for an extended warranty on my MacBook Pro. Last Tuesday, my computer 
said "you are running on auxiliary power." I said "so what computer! "Then I 
discovered what I had done over a little over a year. The gal at the Genius Bar 
said I was testing things. She wasn't being sarcastic, she was real nice. So, I

Re: where am I on voiceover?

[Eugenia Firth]

Hi guys
For those of you who have trouble pushing a lot of keys, do you know that you 
can lock your voiceover keys? If you press the voiceover keys plus the 
semicolon  key, then it locks your VO keys. Doing that again unlocks them.

  Hi guys
  For those of you who have trouble pushing a lot of keys, do you know that you 
can lock your voiceover keys? If you press the voiceover keys plus the 
semicolon  key, then it locks your VO keys. Doing that again unlocks them.

  Yes.  Vo+F1.  If you do it twice in a row, you'll land in the app chooser

  Mind you, if vo+F1 doesn't work, then try fn+vo+F1.

locking the vo keys

[Estelita]

Hi,
I found out that locking the vo keys, the Command key loses its function, and I 
cannot type when I'm on the edit field.
So I think locking the vo keys affects the general functions.

Re: locking the vo keys

[Alex Hall]

Yes it does. It is basically as though you had managed to glue your control and 
option keys down, so any other key you press will automatically have those two 
keys added to it. I have never found it a helpful feature, particularly after 
mapping my vo keys to caps lock.

adding memory

[Eugenia Firth]

Hi guys
I just want to comment on my observation so far on adding memory to my Mac Book 
Pro. I had 4 gigabytes before and now I have 8. I have noticed a difference 
when using a braille display with grade 2 braille. I am not finding as many 
mistakes where keys are left out of the translation. Before, I would press say 
an l key and get a bb sign or a b. This happened with my Focus 40 as well. Now 
it does not seem to be happening any more, if yours truly could type better. 
You know, these computers can't type worth a flip. Sometimes my computer 
dictates better than I type! 

Regards, 
Gigi

Re: where am I on voiceover?

[Eugenia Firth]

I have used this feature in Safari, although I guess I could have used Quick 
Nav just as well. I sometimes have used it if I needed to use three or four 
keys together which involved the VO keys. I didn't feel like changing my VO 
kemys to anything else, so I use it sometimes.

Re: locking the vo keys

[Scott Davert]

I'm not sure why this function is useful, but maybe it was before Snow
Leopard? I think that QuickNav also pretty much eliminates the need
for this.

 Yes.  Vo+F1.  If you do it twice in a row, you'll land in the app
 chooser menu of all your currently running applications.

 Mind you, if vo+F1 doesn't work, then try fn+vo+F1.

Hi,

I found out that locking the vo keys, the Command key loses its function,
and I cannot type when I'm on the edit field.

So I think locking the vo keys affects the general functions.

Maybe, but it's just one more way of doing something. On just about all of the

Re: New Braille Sonar iOS App

[Scott Davert]

HI.
I've already recommended to the few people that I know who are
studying contracted braille with iDevices that they get this one. I
like how it lists the rules associated with the translation along with
the dot combinations. I hope they'll develop one for UEB as well. The
dev indicated that it is something he's looking into.

Re: please can some one recommend an accessible alternative to iTunes that will allow me to mannege my current iTunes libary and iPod?

[Scott Davert]

NO worries Shawn. Again, I know most software has its own flaws, and
while I'm glad iTunes is reasonably accessible, I just wish I wasn't
required to use it. Oh well, I'm about to load my iPhone on my new
Macbook air, and from what I've read, it should be a more enjoyable
experience than working with iTunes on Windows.

Take care,

Assigning braille keyboard commands to nonvoiceover functions?

[Scott Davert]

HI all.
In my quest to eliminate the need for my keyboard, I'm I have been
giving some common commands like VO plus J a braile keyboard
equivalent. However, there are a couple of taks I can't seem to
accomplish. One of them being closing a window (Command W on the
keyboard), and another being to quit an application (Command q on the
keyboard). Does anyone know of a way to somehow create such commands
with braille devices?

With many thanks for any help,
Scott and my braille display Dotty

Re: AppleCare paid for itself

[Chris Blouch]

I really like AppleCare for laptops as they get banged around a lot. For 
phones and desktops not as much. Like most extended warranties they are 
betting that you won't need any help so it's just profit. Most failures 
I've had in desktops were hard drives since that's one of the few moving 
parts left and usually they died long after the AppleCare would have run 
out. Sure there will be an odd early failure every now and then but 
mostly the desktop boxes just work. Likewise for mobile devices which 
have no moving parts. All that said, I have had to use Applecare a few 
times when my wife's laptop failed. Turned out the motherboard and a few 
other things were bad. While it's annoying to have something break the 
service was a great experience. We were just about to head to the inlaws 
for a holiday and Apple went so far as to ship us a box the next day, 
picked it back up the same day, fixed it the next day and shipped it to 
the inlaws the day after that. So total time the laptop was out of our 
hands was about 48 hours. Not sure how they could make it much better 
than that.

Hi all:

Well, I know Clark Howard doesn't like extended warranties, but, today, I just 
got my Mac Mini back from the repair center.

My 320GB hard-drive crashed--making the click of death, a few days ago.

I had purchased an AppleCare warranty for my Mac and they felt the repair would 
be covered.

So, I brought it to the local repair facility with my certificate in hand.

They took a look, and, I got a call from their tech saying the hard-drive had 
crashed (which I already knew), and they were ordering another one.

I got a call a couple days later, letting me know the machine was fixed.  
Initially, they wanted my discs to reinstall software, but, they found out they 
had a copy of Mountain Lion (which I purchased anyway) so they installed that.  
Not only had they reinstalled Mountain Lion, but, the new hard-drive I received 
was a 500GB hard-drive.  And, all at no charge.  Guess they don't ship as many 
320GB drives anymore.  I'm not complaining.

Here's hoping I get even more use out of this one.

Re: Assigning braille keyboard commands to nonvoiceover functions?

[Red.Falcon]

Hi there!
OK I do not use Braille but if you can set a braille command to use a mod-key 
then you can set that to a trackpad stroke and set that to Command W, but I 
could not see anywhere for Command Q,
But you can just use the trackpad as is!
When on the APP you wish to close just 2 finger double tap at the top middle of 
the trackpad and that should bring up the main menu and then just 1 finger 
flick to the APP name then flick down to quit and double tap!
And that should do it!
Likewise you could just find the close window option and double tap that so no 
need to set up commands!

easier to update apps, and of course the Mac App Store helps with this, too.

Re: New Braille Sonar iOS App

[Eugenia Firth]

Hi there
I have a question about this app. If I need it for Nemeth Code symbols, would 
you input your Nemeth symbol and/or expression with the braille display? I can 
see putting in dots for one or two cells, but I would think something else 
would be needed to input, say, a modified expression such as a circle with a 
number inside it. 

Regards, 
Gigi

creating smart playlists with the new iTunes.

[Jessica Moss]

I've just upgraded Itunes yesterday, and tried to create a smart playlist to 
burn to CD, something that used to be easy, and now can't paste the items into 
it that I copied from my music library for some off-the-wall reason.  When I 
find the playlist and tab to it, it just says "empty table," then makes the 
usual "bonk," sound when there's no option to do something, which is really 
frustrating.  Does anyone know of a work-around for this, or have the key 
commands changed?

Re: New iTunes

Yeah, I actually noticed that too now that you mentioned it and love it.  That

nerve, so I'm glad that's now been fixed.

You could do that in 11 too, or at least I could. The only thing I couldn't
do, and still can't do consistently is scroll through the artists view and
have it read.

Macbook Air question

[Alex Hall]

Hi all,
I just got an Air for my business, so I can't use it for personal stuff, but I 
can still play with it! I'm unboxing it now, and I found two cables. One is a 
normal charger, but the other is just a thick cable with prongs on one end and 
what looks like a Mac Mini connection on the other. Obviously, no ports on the 
Air will fit the larger cable, and I have no idea what it's for. It has no 
transformer box like the charger, either. Any ideas? Thanks.


Have a great day,
Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini)

RE: Macbook Air question

[Daniel Miller]

That's the extention cord for the charger. The little piece that has the
foldable prongs on it can be removed from the charger, and that extention
cord attached to make a longer cord.

Hi Alex.
I hope you enjoy your macbook air even if it's just for business.
The cable can connect to your power adapter.  it's an extension.

Re: creating smart playlists with the new iTunes.

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but, Smart Playlists normally cannot be pasted into. 
 Smart Playlists are populated using search and matching criteria that you set 
up in the Smart Playlist attributes.  I would expect that if you use a regular 
playlist, the Copy and Paste should still work.

Later...

verify backups function in time machine with voiceover

[Andrew Lamanche]

Dear Listers,

In time machine, there is an option that allows you to verify your backups. 
This option makes sure that your backups are actually usable. According to what 
I have read in the various support pages, a sighted person would be able to 
choose this option via the time machine icon in the menu bar by clicking on the 
time machine icon while holding down the option key. This would result in the 
"verify backups" to appear which you then click to activate. 

I've tried to perform this action with voiceover but to no avail. Does anyone 
on the list have an idea how to accomplish this? 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Andrew

Re: verify backups function in time machine with voiceover

[Chris Blouch]

Once you do VM-M twice to get to the various widgets in the menu bar you 
don't have to hold down the VO keys anymore. Just right or left arrow to 
find the Time Machine menu. Then up/down until you find "Backup Now". 
When you press just the option key you'll find it changes to "Verify 
Backup".

It's an extender cable, you can plug the charger in to it and then plug that
