Hi,

you can interact with the table, go to the message, turn trackpad commander 
off, and then double tap with the trackpad.  This will open the message.  
Although, I'm of a mind, if your checking mail, you will more than likely be 
responding and composing as well.  this obviously, would require a keyboard.  
In that case, it might be easier to just press enter.

Re: Trackpad Question

2013-01-17 Thread Brian Fischler

Hey guys thanks for the responses. It sounds like using the keyboard
with mail is just the best way to go, as if you need to toggle the
trackpad voiceover on and off you are just defeating the purpose of
speeding things up. I like the trackpad and will just use it for
browsing the web and other things it seems to be good for. Luckily I
do love my bluetooth keyboard, was just looking to see if I could
learn another way to do things.

Re: Trackpad Question

2013-01-17 Thread Red.Falcon

Hi there!
OK when your interacting with the message table and you get to the message you 
wish to read!
Do a 2 finger flick left to stop interacting and then do a 1 flick right past 
the vertical splitter into the message area and do a 2 finger flick right to 
interact with the message text!
no need to turn off commander or use a custom command!
and just stop interacting  and 1 finger flick back to the message table and 
look for another message you want!
hth Colin
PS while looking through the commander menus I saw that there are some presets!
Like control+rotate clockwise is increases the rate and anti clockwise 
decreases the rate!
If you use the option key with both clockwise moves that changes the pitch!
And with the command key that does the volume!

Re: accessible diet nutrition app?

2013-01-17 Thread cait furness

Hi Eric,
What are you looking to do, exactly?  If you want to track your foods, there is 
lose it and spark people. They are both accessible.  Sparkpeople also has a 
very good website and they have tons of very good articles on there about 
nutrition, and they also have a whole section devoted to type 2 diabetics, 
which might interest you since you mentioned insulin resistance.  They are 
free, btw.

Accessible word processor

2013-01-17 Thread Marc Rocheleau

Hey all,

This is pretty simple. I just need a word processor to handle working
with .rtf files. I guess the ability to open other formats would be
good as well, but my main use will be editing .rtf files. The person
who came to assess me for my computer mentioned that Pages was
accessible but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions that
might be better and available in the app store. If Pages is just fine
too, I'd like to hear that as well.

Thanks again for all your help as I get adjusted to the wonderful
world of Mac! :)

Hi there
If your main thing is RTF files, it is very likely that TextEdit will work for 
you. What you might want to do, is start out with text edit, and then if you 
need Pages, you can get it. To get it you just go to the app store. I paid a 
big $21.64 for mine,.

From what I could find there are two ways to get audio in - Via the
dock connector and via the headphone/mic jack. Apparently the
headphone/mic jack is mono so I suspect you'll want to go with some kind
of dock dongle thing. Of course you'll also need some recording software
for the phone. You would think there would be some kind of dock to line
in cable but the best I could turn up was this $80 dock adapter:

http://www.zzounds.com/item--LINMOBILEIN

I found a lot of headphone mono adaptors but it seems like if you want
stereo and without built-in mics you are suddenly doing 'pro audio'. I
did find a discontinued thing called a tapedock:

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/886580-REG/Ion_tape_dock_Portable_Cassette_Player.html

which included both the tape player and interface for about $70. Guess
it wasn't that popular.

Found a tidbit here:

http://www.gearslutz.com/board/gadgets-gadgets-gadgets/767098-iphone-5-stereo-audio-recording-line.html

Apparently the dock connector (4 and 4s) only has mono analog input so
any doc connector that does stereo will have to do its own digitizing
and send the signal in as a digital audio stream. That explains the
somewhat high price of the Line 6 device I cited above. The 5 has only
digital input so even mono analog through the dock isn't possible.

Do you have access to a mac? GaragBand and a mini-headphone to RCA cable
would do the trick there.

accesseries, was re: need for a trackpad?

Hi all. I have a Mac mini, as you all are aware. I have a bluetooth Apple 
wireless keyboard, which I will either try to look into getting a less 
expensive, but more durable, keyboard, as this one has a stuck power button, it 
is stuck down, not sure how to get the spring to pop it back into place, or 
even if there is a way. But things like that is why I want a better keyboard, 
but I digress, and maybe will start another topic about that. Or I might change 
the subject to include all excesseries. Yes, I'll do that before I send the 
message; the original being only about trackpads. Anyways, is there a need for 
a trackpad? Is there any convenience to having one?

Hi,

no. you don't need a trackpad.  Is there use for one? sure. I mean, its just 
another method of interfacing with your Mac. You might decide you like using it 
for some tasks more than your keyboard.  Especially if you happened to own an 
IOS device before owning a Mac.  The navigation gestures might be more familiar 
to you.

Ah, OK, good. And do you know of a good, durable bluetooth or USB keyboard that 
I could buy, for hopefully less than $80, for my Mac? I'd prefer it to be 
bluetooth, so that I can also use it with my iPod.

Receipts: Requesting, turning on and off, responding to those sent to you

I've been working on this receipts issue and I'll try to lay out what I've 
done. I am now able to request receipts, reply to a request for a receipt (only 
tested on sending to myself), check to see if requesting receipts is turned on 
and off, and turn requesting receipts on and off.

Disclaimer: I'm not responsible if you accidentally delete already existing 
email headers or have other problems with email, terminal or anything else on 
your computer or in your life :-) while doing this, though of course I'll be 
willing to help troubleshoot if you post problems to the list. This is my first 
draft and though I've looked through it for errors, there's certainly the 
possibility - the overwhelming probability! - I've made some. So if in doubt, 
check things over, ask questions, and do your own research. The links where I 
got most of this information are at the bottom of this email, just above my 
signature. There are plenty of people on this list who will spot errors and 
probably find easier ways to do this. I didn't attempt to include in-depth 
instruction about terminal or applescripts. None of what is written here is 
original with me.

Mac OS version: These instructions are specifically for Mountain Lion. They may 
be used in earlier releases of Mac OS but there will be differences. For 
instance, there have been changes in the location of applescript folders in 
Mountain Lion.

Before we start, a note about copying and pasting: Be careful to get all the 
content as there are apostrophes, braces, semicolons, etc. that really are a 
part of the line to be copied and pasted. If you copy a line by doing 
shift-down-arrow, this could result in the line being put in terminal and enter 
being executed before you have a chance to check the line, so if you want to be 
able to check what you've done, highlight from left to right, making sure you 
include everything. I know that working with terminal can be a challenge with 
voiceover; I have the benefit of a braillelite with brltty in Terminal so if 
you have problems, do some research and/or ask for help on the list. Also, I 
will be referring to the return/enter key as enter. Those with older Macs may 
have both, but it's my understanding that all the newer keyboards now just have 
return. But I don't want to have to write return/enter all the time and the 
term "enter" seems to get used more though they are not identical and the key 
on most Macs is now really return, so if you have both and one doesn't work, 
try the other.

Step 1. Checking for headers:

Since sending receipt requests involves adding something to your email headers, 
first you want to check to see whether you presently have any custom headers 
and what they are. This is done with one line that you can paste into terminal 
and then press enter. The line is:

defaults read com.apple.mail UserHeaders

Step 2. Enabling request receipts for the first time

Note: it is possible to just wait and do this with the applescripts in Step 3 
but it may be better to do it this way the first time to ensure that there are 
no problems.

A. If in Step 1 you get something like:
The domain/default pair of (com.apple.mail, UserHeaders) does not exist":
that means you don't have any custom headers. If that is the case, things are 
simpler because you have nothing you have to keep from deleting. In that case, 
type or paste the following line in terminal, replacing Name with your name and 
email.address with your email address:

defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"Disposition-Notification-To" = 
"Name "; }'

You shouldn't see any results from this line's entry. You can check to make 
sure the Disposition-Notification-To header was added by running the line in 
step 1 again. If these are the only lines you have just done in terminal, you 
can easily get back up to the first entry from step 1 by arrowing up twice in 
terminal. You won't hurt anything if you accidentally do the line from this 
step over but you won't see any results.
You won't have to type or paste to turn this on and off each time as we will be 
using apple scripts or other alternatives for that. Skip to step 3 if you 
completed 2A successfully.

2B. If the line you entered in Terminal in step 1 gives you something that has 
a line with a left brace and the beginning and a right brace at the end, it 
means that you do have some custom headers which you may not want to delete in 
the process of adding what you need to generate receipt requests. Here's an 
example of what you might get (this is only an example; what you get will vary 
according to your custom headers):

{Bcc = "b...@example.com"; }

In this case you have two choices to proceed. One, which I haven't tried, would 
be to edit the .plist and add in the header. You can find more about this by 
following the link where I got most of this information, which will be at the 
bottom of this email. However, this may have changed somewhat because I notice 
that the path to the .pl

Re: accesseries, was re: need for a trackpad?

Well, I have one. But I got this one for some80, from Radio Shack. It has a 
stuck power button, and the front, not the top where the keys are, but the 
front is slightly scratched from a few drops.

Hi,

if you've had it for less than a year, you can probably get a new one from

seeing which processes or apps are hogging rousources?

Hi all,
Every time I start my mac (2011 Mini with 2gb ram and 10.8), it is sluggish for 
at least ten to fifteen minutes. Eventually things calm down, provided I stay 
within three or four apps, but for those first minutes everything is slow and 
busy more often than not. Is there a way I can use Activity Monitor to see 
which apps and/or processes are taking up the mac's resources, such as CPU time 
or ram? Thanks.


Have a great day,

Re: accesseries, was re: need for a trackpad?

Hmm. I'm not sure I have the receit. And I'm not sure I really want another 
one, since this one messed up so easily. Do they usually break so easily? I 
mean I can still use the keyboard, but the power button seems to press in, 
turning the keyboard on and off, randomly.

Re: seeing which processes or apps are hogging rousources?

2013-01-17 Thread candiestiles

I had a similar problem with my macbook when I installed mountain lion. I 
upgraded to 4 gigabytes of ram and that took care of the problem. I rarely ever 
get the "busy" notice, and when I do, it lasts for a brief time and then 
everything works fine.

Re: seeing which processes or apps are hogging rousources?

I know I have low ram, but the question stands: can you sort process lists by 
CPU usage or ram? I tried the vo-shift-backslash command and was taken to the 
headers list, but activating the buttons there did not seem to do anything at 
all. Is there any way to do this?

Re: urgent urgent urgent urgent help resetting voice over to factory defaults in osx lion

You may not have to. Assuming vo is otherwise running normally, use the 
vo-cmd-arrow commands; by default up/down will change voice, so hit vo-cmd-down 
several times to set vo to a working voice. Once you do that, you should have 
no trouble getting rid of Infovox and re-selecting your preferred voice.

Re: urgent urgent urgent urgent help resetting voice over to factory defaults in osx lion

Actually, you assume incorrectly. It says plainly on the website that 3.1, 
which I assume is what you have, works with 10.4 and later as long as they are 
Intel Macs.

So what exactly is it doing? Is it not talking or repeating the nag message 
over and over? And how are you sending emails? I'll help if I can but I need 
more information. Did you use the voice manager to install and make sure your 
voices showed as activated?

Re: urgent urgent urgent urgent help resetting voice over to factory defaults in osx lion

Yes, this will work. But if it's silent, it's also possible that the voice has 
just gone down in volume; I've had that happen though not when installing 
Infovox. As for getting rid of infovox, that may not be necessary either when 
you figure out what happened.

Re: urgent urgent urgent urgent help resetting voice over to factory defaults in osx lion


I am using bootcamp windows 7 to send the email.
I am running latest version off the website a imac intel
it doesn't talk it says like  a sillable.
it then sounds like a click or bomg or something I really can't discribe 
it but it doesn't talk and does like a click click click or something 
like that
it could possibly be blinking? I have a little bit of light preception 
in my write eye and it looks like it is blinking as well.

not sure if this is making any sense.
I tried the hiphop voice if this is any help.
as far as it being activated before I switched the voice I went to the 
manager and hit the space bar to view the sample and it said this is a 
evaluation voice and then the name of the voice I installed.
I figured sense it said this it was a evaluation voice it was in in demo 
mode.

hth a little

Re: urgent urgent urgent urgent help resetting voice over to factory defaults in osx lion

If you can find the volume item in the vo-cmd-left/right rotation, move two 
items right and you will be on the voice item. Vo-down until you get to a voice 
that actually works. Also remember to give it a minute to load new voices; it 
won't be instant since no voices are held in memory that are not used.

It works with Lion, at least according to the website. I'm running the latest

Re: urgent urgent urgent urgent help resetting voice over to factory defaults in osx lion

Hold down command-vo-keys and arrow two to the right. Then try the arrowing up. 
If you are on volume you are two to the left of voices.

Re: urgent urgent urgent urgent help resetting voice over to factory defaults in osx lion

Turn vo off, then back on. The setting should be on voice by default once vo is 
restarted, so just vo-cmd-down a few times without going left or right once vo 
is running again.

Re: urgent urgent urgent urgent help resetting voice over to factory defaults in osx lion

Hiphop must be new; I'll have to go look. But you can straighten that out once 
you get a voice back. But yes, it should be working if it said it was in 
evaluation mode.

Re: urgent urgent urgent urgent help resetting voice over to factory defaults in osx lion


when I try to do what u suggested it still stays on volume.
it doesn't want to advance to the next item in that rotation thingy 
meaning it doesn't switch to the voice oppsion it just sticks on volume.

I have never ever seen this behavior before in my life.
I can't get thing to switch to a different voice no matter what I do.

won't be instant since no voices are held in memory that are not used.

Actually, you assume incorrectly. It says plainly on the website that 3.1,
which I assume is what you have, works with 10.4 and later as long as they are
Intel Macs.

So what exactly is it doing? Is it not talking or repeating the nag message
over and over? And how are you sending emails? I'll help if I can but I need
more information. Did you use the voice manager to install and make sure your
voices showed as activated?

Re: accesseries, was re: need for a trackpad?

Hi,

I honestly haven't heard of the keyboard being plagued with issues.  Mine has 
been working for over 2 years now.  But, if you do want to go another route, 
you might want to check out one of logitechs line of BT keyboards.  They are in 
the same price range as the Apple bluetooth keyboard.  I know they have a 
couple solar powered models as well.

 Ah, OK, good. And do you know of a good, durable bluetooth or USB keyboard 
 that I could buy, for hopefully less than $80, for my Mac? I'd prefer it 
 to be bluetooth, so that I can also use it with my iPod.

 Hi,
 
 no. you don't need a trackpad.  Is there use for one? sure. I mean, its 
 just another method of interfacing with your Mac. You might decide you 
 like using it for some tasks more than your keyboard.  Especially if you 
 happened to own an IOS device before owning a Mac.  The navigation 
 gestures might be more familiar to you.
