Re: auto corrections in mail messages and while typing

[Nicholas Parsons]

In iOS, if you hear the sound, you can just double tap to dismiss the 
suggestion. If you wish to accept the suggestion, just press space. To review 
the suggestions, as Alex said you just need to swipe down.

Re: Importing favorites in to safari

[Nicholas Parsons]

I exported my favourites to Dropbox, and then imported that file from Dropbox 
into Safari. It's really quite easy. There should be an export menu in Firefox, 
probably in the file or bookmarks menu. Follow the instructions to save the 
file wherever you want; on a flash disc, for example. And then choose import 
from the file menu in Safari and then simply brows to the exported file from 
Firefox and select it. Safari will do the rest.

I do suggest once you have imported those favourites/bookmarks, you copy them 
into your Bookmarks Menu in Safari. That way you can access them from the 
Bookmarks Menu in the Menu Bar in Safari.

Re: Question about bookmarks

[Nicholas Parsons]

Hmm, that's odd. I get Open, Open in New Window, Open in New Tab, Rename 
Bookmark…, Edit Address, Copy and Delete. Not sure why this is so. If you 
VO-Left Arrow from the bookmark, do you get its address? A work around might be 
for you to copy that address, press Command-L to move to the address bar, and 
paste it in, then press enter.

If you're in that table view, there should be two tables. IN the left most 
table there should be a folder called Bookmarks Menu. Select this, and then 
paste your bookmarks into the right most table. I would not put all my 
bookmarks in the other folder, Bookmarks Bar, if I were you. I keep Bookmarks 
Bar just for the nine bookmarks I use most often. Then you can easily switch 
between these using Command and numbers one through nine.

QuickTime plugging Apple Mail problem.

[Danny Noonan]

I've asked once before but thought I'd ask one more time as this issue is 
getting worse.  Several times a day, mail will crash telling me there's a 
problem with the quicktime mail plugging and restart mail.

Is this a known issue? Any solutions round or is there a way I can attempt to 
track down where why how and the like?

Many thanks.

Re: o. t.: Microsoft Office for Mac! Important: read and leave comments!

[Chris Moore]

lol so it is not just me then Riccardo, I am finding the same problems with 
Numbers.  Shame really, as it could be quite a nice app.

If MS Office was accessible, I would buy it within a heart beat.  Most of my 
work resolves around using MS Office on Windows, but for everything else, I try 
to use my Mac instead, as I much prefer the Mac.

I love Microsoft Word, Excel, and even don't mind Outlook, I have also now 
started using Access.  Power point is a bit hit and miss with me.  The thought 
of being able to run these apps on my Mac would mean I could quite happily give 
my employer my Windows laptop back.

 Hello,
 
 I honestly think that the lack of Voiceover accessibility of the MS Office 
 suite holds back many potential Mac users from switching over.  For 
 example, I've spent much time talking with adaptive tech specialist, rehab 
 and state agencies and, most see the Mac as a entertainment console 
 instead of a well rounded machine that can support both ones professional 
 and leisure computing tasks.  These agencies are all about getting 
 visually impaired people through college, vocational training, and 
 ultimately employed.  They look at the lack of MS Office accessibility as 
 a non starter for those wanting training or, access to Macs.  Many blind 
 and visually impaired people look to these institutions for their computer 
 training and equipment.  If the Mac could be viewed as a more productivity

Re: o. t.: Microsoft Office for Mac! Important: read and leave comments!

[Richard Ring]

I know a number of people who are employed who have to use office because 
that's what their employers insist upon. Making MS Office would make the Mac 
such a viable solution. Freedom Scientific and GW Micro wouldn't like it, but 
we would!

 What I'm talking about has to do with the screen reader telling you where

 left-hand column as a header is well so that you can get it to tell you 
 information as to where you are.

Hi Jessica, 

If I can figure this out I'll definitely let you know, because like you I am 
able to fix a current word, but I'm still not able to, and have never been able 
to get to this list of corrections.  Same with my iPhone, I have no clue how to 
do it there either.  Alex and a few others have been really helpful, and for 
this I am really thankful. 

Talk soon,

I feel like an idiot because the down arrow trick just simply is not working

by left-right to get to the list of words does nothing for me.

VoiceOver slow to appear after sleep

[Phil Halton]

Sometimes after my iMac has been asleep, usually overnight, VoiceOver will not 
come up talking right away after I press a key and the system wakes up. 
Sometimes it takes several minutes. 
In fact, its not only 
VO, but system sounds as well that are tardy after a wake up. 
 
I've also noticed the same problem with the AppleTV, but my only real concern 
is with the Mac. Any ideas about this?

Re: mac application prismo is half price in Mac app store

[Les Kriegler]

Hi Esther,

Thanks for the link to the demo.  As John indicated, it's hard to figure out 
how to perform an actual scan.  I did interact with the toolbar and was able to 
configure settings, but that's as far as I've gotten.

Re: o. t.: Microsoft Office for Mac! Important: read and leave comments!

[Keith Watson]

It depends on the form that you get. Some of the forms have complex tables and 
elements that text edit don't handle very well. Sure you can get the gist of 
the letter but there are elements that are add to the docs in order for them to 
be 508 compliant per SSA requirements. And text edit does not read those 
changes. Believe me I have tested and read hundreds of thousands of documents 
over the past 3 years.

Re: mac application prismo is half price in Mac app store

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi.

I have in fact godt prizmo to work, but I would recommend to do the scanning 
with vuescan, and do the OCR with prizmo.

I bought it a wile ago on a macupdate desktop offer.

The Ocr is very good. In fact I got better results with some cookbooks than in 
finereader 11. But I have an a3 scanner, and the prizmo for mac can still not 
use a3 format, that will hopefully be fixed soon, it can still not split 
doubble pages, that will also be fixed.and there should also be some VoiceOver 
improvements.
Send a mail for the developer, so that they know, that we would like to use 
their app, and would like some improvements.

Best regards Annie.

Amadeus Pro Tutorial

[Scott Rumery]

Hello,

My friend Mike Malarsie has recorded a new tutorial on his How To Be Blind 
website and I thought that some people might like to check it out. He is  doing 
a really good job creating some useful content on his site, and he also 
produces a very good podcast if I do say myself. I made that last statement 
because I am one of his co-hosts on the roundtable podcast.

Hi.

I agree with you Christer.

Here in Denmark it is exactly the same situation.

A very important thing will be to make tables and all text areas accessible. We 
are having major problems with tables on the mac as VoiceOver users, they are 
not accessible in any application. To make ms office accessible will be 1 of 
the most important steps forward for mac users.

Best regards Annie.

Re: Question about bookmarks

[Rachel Feinberg]

Greetings:

Is there a way to move bookmarks from the bookmarks bar to the main bookmarks 
menu? I wasn't aware that the bar was only for those favorites you wanted to 
access often. And i'd like to move them to the regular menu, below the bar.
Thanks,
Rachel

Re: Question about bookmarks

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

Try going up to the Bookmarks menu, select Show All Bookmarks, then you're able 
to Cut and Paste items from one area to the other.  There will be two Tables, 
one that lists your categories like Bookmark Menu, Bookmark Bar etc and another 
that lists the contents of the selected category.  Simply highlight the 
category, navigate to the table of its contents, and Cut what you want moved to 
another Bookmark location.  Next, go over and highlight the category where you 
wish it to reside and Paste it into there.

HTH.

Re: Using time capsule to play movies?

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

I believe that it may be technically possible but not extremely practical.  You 
would need to probably partition your TC so that the backups were on a separate 
partition then set your Mac to automatically mount the other partition where 
your iTunes content is stored.  Then when you started iTunes, it would access 
its Library from that network drive.  I think that performance would be 
compromised and other inconsistencies may occur.  Why not simply use the Home 
Sharing feature built-in to iTunes so that all users with the same AppleID in 
your house could access that Library?

Hi Sara,
I don't have MS Office for the Mac and can't give you any specific details on

 To my fellow peers on this list, Sara and I have been communicating

 It's more genuine coming from her. Me not being the middle man.

My Spotlight is out

[Richard Ring]

I can no longer use Spotlight search. When I press command space, nothing 
happens. I tried vo m 3 times, no joy. Then I repaired permissions from the 
recovery partition. I also checked system preferences to make certain I had a 
keyboard shortcut set. I am out of ideas now, any advice would be greatly 
appreciated.

Re: My Spotlight is out

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

The VO-m three times is no longer available as a Spotlight shortcut.  The 
cmd-space is a built-in function of the Mac so you shouldn't need to create it 
yourself.  Not entirely sure why yours is not working but you could just use 
cmd-f (Find) when in the Finder which accesses the same engine I believe.

Re: auto corrections in mail messages and while typing

[Alex Hall]

Where on the word are you? Also, are you possibly mistaking the "misspelled 
word" sound for the "suggestions available" sound? The former is the sort of 
ratchet sound, the latter a higher, shorter tone. Finally, do you have "correct 
spelling as I type" enabled in system preferences and in the application? I had 
it on in system preferences, but for the longest time it would not work in 
Mail. I finally found that I had to go into the edit menu, then the spelling 
and grammar submenu, and turn on the option in there.

Re: My Spotlight is out

[Alex Hall]

Have you tried a good old restart? It sounds like all your status menus are 
gone, so restarting everything might bring them back. As I understand it, 
Spotlight is part of that group of menus, so you'll need them back before 
Spotlight will return.

Re: Using time capsule to play movies?

[Donna Goodin]

Hi Tim,

We already have home-sharing turned on.  We were thinking that it would be cool 
to store our movies on a drive that connects wirelessly to my MBA.  but I 
suppose if we have to use a standard portable drive, that isn't the end of the 
world.  But it does raise another question or two.  Can I set up iTunes so that 
only the movies in my library are stored on a portable drive?  And if I do 
that, will iTunes be messed up when that drive isn't connected?
Thanks,
Donna

Re: o. t.: Microsoft Office for Mac! Important: read and leave comments!

Just to add some. My wife has it. I can access most menus but none of the 
editing area. This is why I don't use word. I need access to view the document 
I am building. I have not explored this thoroughly by any means. I wish to have 
it accessible because it is a good program, but will either patiently wait for

Reminder that BrailleTouch goes up in price tomorrow

[Alex Hall]

I know this is a bit off topic for this list, but many of us have iOS devices 
on here. Don't forget that today is the last day to get BrailleTouch for $15; 
tomorrow it goes up to $20. If you are on the fence about upgrading, consider 
taking the plunge today, since that same plunge tomorrow will be $5 more. If 
you haven't yet tried out the app, please do so; it is really amazing, and free 
to try. What your $15 (or $20) gets you is the ability to use the text you 
write for emails, messages, tweets, or copying to the clipboard to paste into 
any app.


Have a great day,

you have to connect your phone to the computer and run software when it
reboots. Additionally, there has been a very difficult time of it from the
hackers on getting it working right. So, the good news is that if you wait
for the long-awaited untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.1, it's a good chance it
will be made available this Sunday. Now, to address some of the other things
which came up in this thread.

This is because of Apple signing each firmware installation for your phone.
I don't understand the specifics, but if you Google for shsh blobs, it will
give a better description for it. I have been able to downgrade in the past
before, but that was because I had saved my shsh blobs from a prior iOS
version.
>>> 
>>> The question I see come up often is if jailbreaking is worth it. I mean,
you lose Apple tech support, and supposedly void your warranty if you have
one. If you find that you need to have your device serviced, then you can
restore and go back to the current iOS and it will be unjailbroken. Of
course you will lose your settings and jailbreak apps, but that's a risk you
take when you go for the jailbreak path. I just realized I didn't answer my
own question on if jailbreaking is right or not. Like with all things in
life, it depends on the user and whether said user wants to trade in the
warranty for certain conveniences. Or even more importantly, it highly
depends on whether jailbreaking will enhance the user experience for the
specific user.
>>> 
>>> I'll give an example, if you have been using the iPhone unjailbroken and
it's met your needs, or you are really concerned about tech support from
Apple and/or warranty service, then jailbreaking isn't for you. If you
aren't concerned about their tech support or warranty, but you don't need
the enhancements that jailbreaking provides, then again, jailbreaking may
not be for you. I teach new users how to use the iPhone and even though I'm
a huge jailbreak fan, I don't recommend it to my clients unless they ask
about it first, and only if they feel they really need it.
>>> 
>>> I could go on and on about all the cool things you can do extra with a
jailbroken iPhone, but the list would be too long. Suffice it to say that
even though I'm using iOS 5.1.1 still on my 4S, I'm enjoying most of the iOS
6 features due to some sort of jailbreak enhancement. The one feature I will
mention here is probably 80% of the reason why I jailbreak in the first
place. I'm a Google Voice user, and I have totally integrated my Google
Voice number so that even tapping on phone numbers in text messages or web
pages or apps, will use my GV number to call the tapped number. Furthermore,
sending and receiving text messages using my Google Voice number is seamless
and can be done through the messages app. These are things you cannot do
unless you jailbreak.

Skype help needed

[Bill Holton]

Hi.
Had Skype working fine yesterday on my Mac Mini with a desk mike and my
speakers.
Today I tried adding a usb headset, and everything went downhill.  
I have Skype set to use the usb headset in the call speakers pop up box, and
the volume is set to 75%.  I have ringers set to use all devices.
Now, when I make the Skype test call, I hear the begin call blurp in the
headset, but then it's silence everywhere, no ringing, no voice,  until the
call ends and I get the call end sound.  If I try to now put the speaker
back to the Mini's external speakers, again silence.  
Any help with what I may have done wrong greatly appreciated.

Hi Bill,

If possible, with the USB headset plugged in, go to system preferences, to the 
sound category. Change the sfx tab, input, and output tabs, to all use your 
headset as the default device.
that may help,

Gifting a book in iTunes

[Andrew Lamanche]

Dear Listers,

I've just tried to buy an audiobook for a friend in iTunes 11. Previously I had 
no problems going into the actions menu when finding a book I wished to buy for 
somebody and choosing buying it as a gift. A new dialogue would open which 
would allow you to do so. However, now this has turned out to be difficult. 
Firstly, I had to try and activate the button a few times before it allowed me 
to see the dialogue. Having done so once, I wanted to buy another book. No way 
could I activate that button. Strangely though, when I examined the screen 
carefully with Voiceover, I found at the right edge of the screen/page the date 
on which I'd like the gift delivered. This is indeed a part of the dialogue 
page where you fill in all the necessary details for the gift. But I could not 
find any other elements of that dialogue. Has anyone else noticed this strange 
behaviour? I must have spent nearly an hour trying to accomplish the purchase 
of the gift but to no avail.

Andrew

Re: Skype help needed

[Ray Foret Jr]

Ah, you need to set not only the output to use the headset, the input must also 
be set that way also.

HTH.

anyone store the movies in their iTunes library on a portable hard drive?

[Donna Goodin]

Hi all,

I have two questions re the storing of movies in the iTunes library.

1.  Is it possible to store them on a portable hard drive?

2.  If the answer to No. 1 is yes, if the drive is not connected to your Mac, 
does that mess up your iTunes library?

Thanks for any thoughts or experiences anyone can share.
Cheers,
Donna

Re: buying ipad mini, will it be ok?

[Alex Hall]

That depends on what you want it for. The iPhone5 supports the phone things, 
like messaging and phone calls, and is pocket-sized. The iPad Mini is larger, 
and cannot do phone calls or texts, plus rumor has it that a new one will be 
out pretty soon. So, if it is a phone you want, go with the iPhone, else wait a 
month or two and see what the next-generation Mini looks like.

Re: anyone store the movies in their iTunes library on a portable hard drive?

[Daniel Miller]

Hi.

Yes, you can store them on a portable drive, but the drive does need to be 
connected in order for iTunes to access them, otherwise they'll just be stubs 
in your library that aren't able to be played.

Re: anyone store the movies in their iTunes library on a portable hard drive?

[Donna Goodin]

Hi,

thanks.  I figured the drive would need to be connected in order to access the 
movies.  What I meant by my second question is, if the drive is not connected, 
is iTunes rendered unusable, i.e. can I play music or access other content that 
does reside on my computer?

Also, how do you configure iTunes to tell it that your movies are on a remote 
drive?
Cheers,
Donna

Re: anyone store the movies in their iTunes library on a portable hard drive?

[J.P.]

It would work with time machine. Your portable drive would show there. You 
could configure what to save to portable. It shouldn't affect your iTunes.

OK, now I'm confused.  Are you saying I don't have to tell iTunes too look for 
content on the portable drive, it will do that automatically?
Thanks,

Re: buying ipad mini, will it be ok?

[Alex Hall]

Yes it can, but you'd need then to get a cellular iPad, plus the app you use 
may charge you to have a phone number which landlines or other cell phones can 
call. Also, you cannot hold the iPad up to your ear, so if you are out and 
about you'd need to use the speaker/microphone in the iPad or carry a headset 
of some kind. I'm still not sure what your goal with the device would be, so I 
cannot give you better advice.

Re: anyone store the movies in their iTunes library on a portable hard drive?

[J.P.]

No, it would automatically show the backup drive. You would interact with both 
drives for your specific setup. You would decide what you want where. Most 
portable drives are very user friendly to understand. Just remember to keep 
extra backup of portable, in case of fail.

Re: anyone store the movies in their iTunes library on a portable hard drive?

[Phil Halton]

I have my iTunes library on an external drive and I have several movies 
contained therein.


If you disconnect the external drive, and then start iTunes, I believe you 
will be prompted for the location of a library for iTunes to use.

Hi all,

I have two questions re the storing of movies in the iTunes library.

1.  Is it possible to store them on a portable hard drive?

2.  If the answer to No. 1 is yes, if the drive is not connected to your 
Mac, does that mess up your iTunes library?


Thanks for any thoughts or experiences anyone can share.
Cheers,
Donna

Re: anyone store the movies in their iTunes library on a portable hard drive?

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

yes. You would.  You would first need to go into iTunes preferences and under 
advanced, uncheck that option to copy added media to your iTunes folder.  After 
that, you just add your movies to iTunes from your external drive like you 
would anything else.  But, instead of copying the movies to your internal 
drive, or where ever your iTunes media folder happens to be located, iTunes 
will play the content directly from the external drive.

Where's the mic on an iMac?

[Phil Halton]

I'm trying to record a voicemail message from my iPhone into GarageBand on the 
iMac. I've decided the quick and easy way to do this is just to hold the 
iPhone, with speakerphone on, up to the builtin mic.

Its a late 2011 21.5 iMac. I assume the mic is in the center of the top edge of 
the screen, am I close?

My little experiments tell me I am, but I just want to hear from someone else 
on this.\

Also, is it possible to use the mic on the iPhone earbuds to record? How would 
i set things up to do that?

Thanks for any help

Thanks.  Problem turned out to be with Audio Hijack Pro.  I had bought a

it was taking the audio from Skype and noa allowing it to come through to
me.  I restarted the Mini, and now all is working fine.  Only problem is
now, the skype.mp3 files won't play in iTunes, I have to move them into my
dropbox and onto my Win machine to play them.

Re: Jailbreak iPhone 4S

[Michael Babcock]

Please read this entire message to the ends, to find a link to get more 
information. Apparently, the date of Super Bowl being when iOS 6.1 jailbreak 
will be out, was slightly incorrect. The website below explains that it is 91% 
of the way complete, and the next step is to be released. According to the 
Twitter, linked out the website below, they will be releasing at sometime 
tomorrow. Therefore, I hope this helps a little bit of people.
For those of you interested in the jailbreaking process, my suggestion would be 
to monitor this website, as this is the website to the developers. Therefore, 
you would CS soon as it is available if you monitor this site, or follow the 
individuals on Twitter.

 Anyway, jailbreaking iOS 6.0 or 6.01 is not really possible right now if 
 you want untethered, and believe me when I say that untethered is the way 
 to go. Otherwise you will be depending on a tethered jailbreak, and it

 the hackers on getting it working right. So, the good news is that if you 
 wait for the long-awaited untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.1, it's a good 
 chance it will be made available this Sunday. Now, to address some of the 
 other things which came up in this thread.
 
 If you have a new iPhone and it came with iOS 6, you can't downgrade. This 
 is because of Apple signing each firmware installation for your phone. I 
 don't understand the specifics, but if you Google for shsh blobs, it will 
 give a better description for it. I have been able to downgrade in the 
 past before, but that was because I had saved my shsh blobs from a prior 
 iOS version.
 
 The question I see come up often is if jailbreaking is worth it. I mean, 
 you lose Apple tech support, and supposedly void your warranty if you have 
 one. If you find that you need to have your device serviced, then you can 
 restore and go back to the current iOS and it will be unjailbroken. Of 
 course you will lose your settings and jailbreak apps, but that's a risk 
 you take when you go for the jailbreak path. I just realized I didn't 
 answer my own question on if jailbreaking is right or not. Like with all 
 things in life, it depends on the user and whether said user wants to 
 trade in the warranty for certain conveniences. Or even more importantly, 
 it highly depends on whether jailbreaking will enhance the user experience 
 for the specific user.
 
 I'll give an example, if you have been using the iPhone unjailbroken and 
 it's met your needs, or you are really concerned about tech support from 
 Apple and/or warranty service, then jailbreaking isn't for you. If you 
 aren't concerned about their tech support or warranty, but you don't need 
 the enhancements that jailbreaking provides, then again, jailbreaking may

Have you set up your account on other devices? I'm wondering if you do not
have IMAP enabled on your gMail settings yet.

Re: o. t.: Microsoft Office for Mac! Important: read and leave comments!

[Nicholas Parsons]

"The only question I have: How interested might Microsoft be to make the Mac 
more attractive to blind users?"

I don't think Sara would have joined this thread if Microsoft were not 
interested in making MS Office for Mac accessible.

However, I agree with you that making the Mac a viable alternative to Windows 
for blind people would not seem a likely incentive for Microsoft. Hence I am a 
little puzzled why so many people seem to be posting about this issue, rather 
than about what in particular Sara and her team at Microsoft could do to make 
Microsoft Office for Mac more accessible.

Personally, I'm already using a Mac, as I guess are most people on this list. 
Making MS Office for Mac accessible would make me a loyal purchaser of MS 
Office for Mac, which I am not currently. I would likely continue to still use 
Windows in some capacity as I do now given work requirements and better support 
for reading PDFs.

Re: anyone store the movies in their iTunes library on a portable hard drive?

[Donna Goodin]

Hi Phil,

Thanks.  I guess I'll just have to try it and see what happens.  What I want is 
to continue to keep music on my MBA, but keep movies externally.  Sounds 
doable, I'll have a go at it and see what happens.

You don't when you select gmail as the account type it should configure the

Re: Making my macbook go to sleep

[Chris Bruinenberg]

Hi Jed.
I think there is no way of doing this.
I will look around the settings a bit more.

Re: Apple mail and retreiving mail

[Nicholas Parsons]

Tid Bits Publishers produce a great series of books on how to use Mac OS X. 
It's called the Take Control series. In particular, they have a new Take 
Control of Apple Mail in Mountain Lion book. It goes through how to set up Mail 
in great detail. At first I thought it was silly getting a whole book on 
something so simple, but I'm so glad I bought it. It's been a great help and I 
only regret not buying it earlier. It's only 10 or 15 dollars.

You can access Take Control of Apple Mail along with many other titles from 
http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/catalog-accessible

Best of luck.

Nic

Re: Is skype accessible

[Nicholas Parsons]

Yes, it's accessible.

•   To the right of the tool bar there should be a table. Interact 
with this table and use the VoiceOver keys (control and option together) along 
with the up and down arrows to select contacts.
•   Stop interacting with the table and then navigate with 
control-option right arrow and you can choose between all contacts, skype 
contacts, online contacts, address book contacts, Facebook contacts etc.
•   Then if you control-option right arrow some more you'll come to 
another table. Before this there will be a contacts view mode radio group. I 
recommend you interact with this radio group and select list as your view mode. 
Then stop interacting with the contacts view mode radio group and navigate to 
the table to the right.
•   This should contain all the contacts of the type you have 
selected (e.g. Skype, Facebook, Online etc).
•   Navigate to the contact you want to interact with and then 
press control-option-shift-m, to bring up the context menu. From here you can 
choose to call or instant message.

Best of luck.
