I did it!  I actually? did it!  Just two days ago, on Saturday, I went up to 
Best Buy and with a chunk of extra income I had this month, I bit the bullet 
and bought me a mac mini!  So now I have my 13 inch mid 2010 white macbook, and 
I also now have this mini.  I am taking the mini  back to swap, as Best Buy 
messed up though.  They gave me an opened box mid 2011 model.  They didn't even 
tell me it was opened.  Imagine my horror when I got home and tried with its 
serial number to register it.  It told me the purchase date I entered was not 
correct.  When I called Apple, they told me it had been purchased by someone 
else over a year ago.  We went and looked in the About this Mac page and saw it 
was a mid 2011, not the newest 2012 model.  That really pissed me off.  Anyway, 
I called Best Buy and spoke with the manager.  He was extremely apologetic, and 
said if I could run it up there, he'd swap it for no cost for the correct newer 
2012 model.  I love this system as is, but it's only got the I5, 2GB ram, where 
what I wanted was the I5 4GB ram.  NOt only that but I discovered this morning 
earlier when trying to charge my IPhone, that one of the USB ports is bad.  I'm 
not very happy about this transaction, but, here is the bottom line.  It's 
gonna get swapped, and then I'll use Migration assistance and move all my stuff 
from the macbook back over which won't take but maybe an hour or so, so really, 
I'm honestly not very concerned as far as losing data.  I have this thing right 
now hooked up to my 5.1 home theater system via HDMI, high deff, and I gotta 
tell you, sitting here now typing this e-mail on the thing… this is amazing!  I 
never thought Alex could sound so good through a set of surround speakers.  I 
shutter to think once I get the new system with the 4GB ram how good this will 
be.  I actually don't even have my windows desktop hooked up any more.  If I 
absolutely must do windows, I have a Dell Inspiron system I can use in a pinch, 
although I'd rather not, if I can help it.  LOL!

Anyway, I am so glad to finally officially be a full mac user!  I still find 
myself wanting to fall back on Windows, but my guess is now that I don't have 
an easy way to do so, in time I'll get more used to things over here.  I know 
what I'm doing, it's just a bit awkward.

Anyway, just wanted to share.  Hope that was OK.

Re: I did it! Bye bye Windows!

Hi, Chris,

Congrats! I was very excited when I got my Mac Mini in April 2010. It was like 
Christmas all over again. Anyhow, I plunged in without a backward glance, 
figuratively speaking, and I haven't regretted it. The only thing I really have 
missed are my favorite games in Windows, but that's even being rectified with 
the help of those good Draconis folks. :)

That is really a shocker about the opened model. I'm glad that is being 
resolved in a professional manner.

Anyhow, have fun.

Teresa

Re: I did it! Bye bye Windows!

OK, I confess I've had access to a mac for a while before my mini, but really 
haven't used the mail app much.  I hope I'm doing this right by replying.  I 
just hit command r on your message which seems to have worked.  I'm really 
enujoing it so far.  I actually have YoruFukurou and Pianopub running and am 
listenning to a praise and worship station in Pandora with Pianopub that I 
created a while back based off the artist Chris Tomlin.  The sound is 
unbelievable, especially since I have it going through surround sound.  I even 
have Adium up and running.

RE: Question about bookmarks

Thanks.  I finally got it to work.

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.

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

Hi there
It seems to me that the only way some of us could help Sarah is to volunteer to 
be a beta tester. This is because a lot of us, me included, do not have access 
to anybody's copy of Microsoft office. I had a Windows copy of Microsoft 
office, but I sold it when I sold my Windows laptop running under windows seven.

Re: I did it! Bye bye Windows!

2013-02-04 Thread Erik Heil

Hey chris,
Congrats! I don't have a Mac myself, but I'm using this list as a learning
experience when I do get a Mac, which hopefully should be in the near
future. i"ll have to admit that Alex is one of the major highlights of the
Mac experience imho. So, you're on a winning streak. BTW if you wanted to
run Windows on the same machine as OSX, there's no reason why you can't run
it within a virtual machine. You mentioned your specs, and for a serious VM
installation, its not possible, but you could do basic tasks with a Windows
VM. Allocate 1GB of RAM to it, and Windows should run OK. Not ideally, but
it would be a at least functional experience.

Chris,

Re: Adding Album Art in iTunes

Hi Nic,

You asked about Audiobook Builder, and described your fears about its
limitations:

"I have bought and used a similar app called AudioBookBinder. It
seemed to work really well. However, I discovered, sadly only after
converting most of my audiobooks, that it seems to have some
limitations. It doesn't seem to be able to create files longer than 14
hours. Many books I have bound into one file have stopped around the
14 hour mark, despite the fact that the book was actually much longer.
Moreover, I haven't seemed to be able to get the chapter navigation to
work, despite the app stating that it did this automatically. So I'm a
little reluctant to try one of these apps again, in case I get similar
results."

I can explain why you may have hit a limit of about 14 hours in the
playback of your books as a single file, but the actual limit depends
on the specs you used to rip your tracks. Oddly enough, there's a list
post from two years ago that I wrote to another Nic on this subject.
He had some very long recordings that he could play in their entirety
if he used QuickLook to stream them (e.g., select the track in Finder
and press space bar to start it playing), but which cut off before the
end when he tried to play them in a music player.

Most digital music players, including QuickTime Player -- the actual
software that plays back your tracks interactively with controls --
cannot generally handle tracks with more than 2 billion samples.
There's a digital counter in the header encoding along with the tag
information of your MP3 or AAC that turns over when you reach the
maximum number that can be represented by a 32-bit unsigned integer,
which is slightly more than 2 billion.  If you rip a track at CD
quality sampling, or 44.1 kHz, then for constant bit rate sampling,
the time in seconds it takes to reach that maximum number is 2 billion
divided by 44.1 thousand per sec.  That works out to about 13.5 hours
for a stereo track, and about 27 hours for a mono track. If you simply
stream  play your track, with no efforts to adjust the playback
position, rewind, fast forward, or use bookmarks, then in principle
you can play tracks that exceed this size (at least on a computer).

In order to navigate to bookmarks, your music player on an iPhone, or
iPod needs to be able to tell where in the track you want to go to.
If the counter has "turned over" you won't be able to find the
location.  Somewhat like trying to set an alarm for "13 o'clock".  If
you're ripping from CDs, you can change your importing settings by
either customizing the sampling rate or, in the AAC format, selecting
one for "Spoken Podcast" which uses voice optimization but samples at
22.05 kHz.

Audiobook Builder will let you choose the sampling rate (and may give
you a warning if your size goes over).  Here's an excerpt from their
FAQ:
"Why does Audiobook Builder limit part length?
The iPod and iPhone can handle files that contain approximately 2
billion audio samples or less. This translates into roughly 27 hours
for Audiobook Builder's Low Quality preset (22.05 kHz), 18 hours for
its Normal Quality preset (32 kHz) and 13 hours for its High Quality
preset (44.1 kHz). The lower the audio sample rate the longer your
parts can be. It's possible to reach a maximum part length of 74 hours
by selecting the Custom... Quality option and choosing an 8 kHz sample
rate. Files that exceed the 2 billion sample limit will not play
properly on the iPod or iPhone."

Actually, I don't use Audiobook Builder that much now, but yes, it
works well with VoiceOver. I used to do this all by hand, and import
audiobooks from CDs as joined tracks, for 1 track per CD.  There are
other reasons for not pushing the maximum length limit if you used
early iPods or iPod Shuffles, because bookmarking wasn't always
reliable if you exceeded the local cache memory of the device.  But
it's true that most of the impetus for figuring out how iTunes works
came from wanting to play my audiobooks.  Now I get most of them from
Audible.  The default settings for importing from CD may set a 13 hour
maximum for a single file depending on the preset you use.  You can
also join existing tracks you've already imported into iTunes.

If you want to check out the trial download, you can get it from the
downloads page of Splasm's web site:
http://www.splasm.com/audiobookbuilder/downloads.html

It looks as though currently a single user license is $4.95 through
their web site store, and $5.95 from the Mac App Store.  As for your
existing joined tracks using AudioBookBinder, you may be able to
recover access to the rest of the books if you split the tracks.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: I did it! Bye bye Windows!

I already advised you of my opinion yesterday, however I have to say 
unfortunately this is what happens when you work with Best Buy. This is one of 
the main reasons why a lot of the retail stores are closing. However, 
congratulations on the new Mac Mini. I am very excited for you!

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

2013-02-04 Thread Max

 

A few notes on MS Office for Mac OS from my perspective:

-In my experience both Word and Excel are unusable. In Word I 
cannot actually write and read back what I’ve written. In Excel, I can’t 
navigate and manipulate cells. For these reasons I do not use either 
programme on the Mac. Really, this is very basic and MS should be ashamed 
of themselves for shipping such an unaccessible  product.

-The fact that Word is broken on Mac has forced me to explore 
alternatives. I’ve leart to use both Pages and Scrivener. I am now a 
Scrivener fan and would probably not go back to Word even if it became 
accessible on Mac. I would probably never even have tried Scrivener had 
Word been accessible.

-I am encouraged that MS is seemingly trying to take accessibility 
more seriously. However, good intentions only go so far. Even their own 
operating system is inaccessible without extremely expensive third party 
software like JAWS. Apple has put them to shame with Voice Over. I will 
only believe in change at MS once I see it. Until they start putting their 
code where their mouth is, I will encourage other blind people to switch to 
Mac.
Finally, my criticism above obviously does not apply to Sarah, but rather 
to MS as a whole. Thank you Sarah for joining the list and taking the time 
to read all the comments posted here. Hopefully you can be part of a new 
more decent MS.

Re: I did it! Bye bye Windows!

Hi guys
In all fairness, I do have a friend, a sighted friend, that bought a Mac book 
from Best Buy. She paid for accident protection or something like that. One 
fine day she spilled a cup of water into her computer. She took it back to Best 
Buy, and after they determined that they couldn't fix it, they replaced it. So, 
I guess it just depends on the people you're dealing with.

Gigi

Re: I did it! Bye bye Windows!

I personally have never in the past had issues with Best Buy let alone this 
franchise location.  Having said that I don't doubt your opinions.  You're not 
the first person who has had nothing but trouble.  Maybe I've just been lucky 
up to now.  Anyway, I am going to be getting it swapped, so I'm a happy camper. 
 Plus the fact they're even for an additional $100 gonna install more ram for 
me up to 16GB.  They even told me this time, they won't let me leave the store 
or even pay for the ram until I myself have had them plug the system into a 
keyboard and monitor behind the counter, and boot it up turn VO on, and make 
sure it is exactly to a T what I need.  So it really does sound like Erick is 
trying his best to make things right.  And, as I said he sounds very very 
embarrassed for what happened.  As long as he's willing to work with me, I'm 
personally willing to work with him to come to a good satisfactory resolution.

Re: tabs in safari

Hi, Jed,

To open a new tab, press command-t. To move between tabs, press control-tab. 
You can use control-shift-tab to go to the previous tab.

Re: tabs in safari

Hi Jed.

Yes to both.  To open a new tab, simply hit command+T.  You'll then be in your 
address bar, so either type your address, or google search, then hit return as 
usual.

To move between the tabs, you have a couple of option so pick the easiest for 
you.  One way's to quit interacting with the html area, then move up to the top 
of the screen, and find the tab of your choice, then vo+space on it.  The other 
easier thing to do is to just hit ctrl+tab for the next tab, or ctrl+shift+tab, 
just like you did in Windows to move between the tabs.  I don't do much tab 
browsing, but I  remember that working last I tried.  If it doesn't let me know 
and I'll look it up.

Re: I did it! Bye bye Windows!

Gigi,

I have to agree.  Though I'm ticked to no end that they did to me what they 
did, and though I have my suspitions if it was done unintentionally or not, the 
bottom line is, they're trying to work with me.  It took some complaining, but 
I didn't have to raise much of a stink, thank goodness, as had I, I definitely 
would a.

Re: Adding Album Art in iTunes

2013-02-04 Thread Emilio



Hello Esther and others,


I am writing because I observed in the message that Ester has been having 
some issues with Audio Book Binder(ABB) . I am not sure if this program is 
the same app available in the Appstore, but if so, I have not had any 
issues joining audio books longer than 14 hours.

While I will agree that chapter navigation is not possible, it is not a 
deal-breaker.

However, when converting my audio books so as to join them using ABB, I 
first remove the DRM protection using Tunes4Mac Audio Converter, which can 
be purchased from http://www.tune4mac.com. The caveat for this software is 
that audio books should be imported into iTunes, so they can be recognized 
by the program. With this said, upon launching Tunes4Mac will highly 
suggest that you do not use iTunes while the conversion takes place. Upon 
completion the books will be placed in an “audio books” folder within the 
“documents” folder. These files will be converted into the m4a format. At 
which time, then you can join the tracks using ABB regardless of the 
length, as it has been proved in my case. For instance, Moby Dick by Herman 
Melville is 26 hours as a single track, The Camel Club by David Baldacci is 
16 hours, and Bag of Bones by Stephen King is 21 hours.


Hope this has been helpful.

Re: Google books

Yes, you can go to the Google Play site in Safari on the Mac or use the Google 
Play app on the IPhone. The books are a little tricky to read on the desktop. 
You just have to press the "next page" button instead of  using standard 
browser keystrokes.

AccessNote

> 
> Hi Kawal and others: 

For my way of thinking, I say forget Word for the iPhone and let's AFB to do 
more with the program they just put out. I think I'm really going to like this 
AccessNote program, especially if AFB can figure out a way to start selection 
at the point user designated and then end it, also user designated. I also 
would like the option of syncing with the Cloud and not just Drop Box. I know 
they would have to talk Asple into that, but I can wish. What I really wan is 
brf files because it appears that ;this program takes out the carriage returns 
some of us have been wanting to get rid of when using a braille display. In 
fact, I am even considering whether or not it would work to change the 
extension to a brf file to txt so that you could get a brf file easily onto the 
iPhone or any other IOS device. 

Currently, what I don't have is Drop Box set up on my iPhone. Someone may have 
answered this at some point, but I can't remember. How much does it cost to 
have Drop Box? 

Regards, 
Gigi

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

2013-02-04 Thread Phil Halton

in that case, I think it was ricardo who gave the advice to uncheck the "add 
media to iTunes library", or something like that in the iTunes preferences. 
Then, when you add the movie files to your iTunes library, it'll just make a 
pointer to them instead of actually copying them over to the iTunes library.

Hi Phil,

Thanks.  I guess I'll just have to try it and see what happens.  What I

Sounds doable, I'll have a go at it and see what happens.

If you disconnect the external drive, and then start iTunes, I believe

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.

Re: AccessNote

Hi Gi Gi.

Drop ghox is free. You download the App from the App Store. You then go to Drop 
Box.com on your Mac and download it after creating an account or logging in if 
you have one. If could sink notes to the Cloud then that would be orsome but 
Apple again keep control of their software.

Re: AccessNote

2013-02-04 Thread Krister Ekstrom

I haven't seen accessnote and i think the price tag is outrageous just to test 
and probably diss the product. What i for the life of me can not understand and 
probably never going to get an answer to is this: Why do we blind people so 
want to get back to the isolated state we were in before the IPhone? Why do we 
want to get back to being in the hands of people who make apps that are badly 
coded, lacks the most common features and often, though admittedly not always 
is a downright insult of our inteligence and to a ridiculous price when other 
apps exist that work? Is it because we've talked to the developers of apps and 
haven't got positive responses quickly enough? Is it that we lack the knowledge 
to tell the developers what we want? I don't know, the only thing i know is 
what i remember from when this list started, and how it has developed up to 
now. I also know i'm going to get flamed to bits for saying this, it's just 
that i think it needs to be said. Not that it matters, i am only one voice and 
one voice can be ignored, and i may even be wrong altogether in what i feel, so 
i don't know anything.

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

Not to overstate the obvious but there is a disincentive to MS to make 
office accessible. As has been stated by many folks, with Office on Mac 
being inaccessible people have turned to VMWare or a second machine to 
run a full instance of Office AND Windows. That means Microsoft gets to 
sell two licenses instead of one Office Mac license. While there is some 
value to making Mac Office users happy, there is also something to be 
said about the value of locking folks into Windows and sidelining the 
Mac for "real work" purposes.

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.

word count for mac?

2013-02-04 Thread Rachel Feinberg

Hi All,

Would any one of you folks know where I could get either an application, or a 
word processor that supports word count for mac? I'm not seeing the feature in 
bean or TextEdit. The word service app, unless I'm overlooking something, 
doesn't appear to have that feature either.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Rachel

Have you tried Pages?  It definitely has word count.  You just go into your

Well, there happens to be an app called "Word count".  There's also an apple

Glad to help.  Yeah, it's $19.99 in the app store.  Once in your document, hit 
command+option+I to open your inspector.  I can look further for you in my copy 
if you need further instructions.

In the app Bean, hit command-option-G, this will give you word count, character 
count, and a few other statistics.

 Would any one of you folks know where I could get either an application,

 Thanks for any suggestions,

VoiceOver getting Started resources [was Re: o. t.: Microsoft Office for Mac! Important: read and leave comments!]

Hello Sara,

The quickest resource to point you to is Apple's VoiceOver Downloads page:
http://www.apple.com/accessibility/voiceover/downloads.html

That contains the link to the current VoiceOver Getting Started Guide (that is 
also on your computer if you start up VoiceOver with Command-F5), and can be 
accessed once VoiceOver is turned on by pressing Control-Option-F5 by accessing 
the VoiceOver Help menu with Control-Option-h

The Control and Option key combinations are referred to here as the "VO-Keys", 
and are pressed in combination with other letters.  So to bring up the help 
menu with VO-h means pressing Control-Option-h.

When you turn on VoiceOver with Command-F5, you will be taken through an 
introduction training in the basics.  More details are given in the VoiceOver 
Getting Started Guide (on the web), with a summary of commands in the 
appendices.

There are different resources for learning about the accessibility APIs for 
developers.  Another good place to get basic information is the AppleVis.com 
web site under the Users Guides,  David Woodbridge has been running a series of 
podcasts for new Mac users there, and also has a number of resources at the 
Vision Australia Web site.

This is an older link to their web pages, but is more suited to an introductory 
impression:
Adaptive Technology Related POD casts, files, and links


HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: VoiceOver getting Started resources [was Re: o. t.: Microsoft Office for Mac! Important: read and leave comments!]

Hello Sara,

Some more quick additions of sources of information on VoiceOver related 
topics:  

I mentioned earlier in the thread that you can find out a lot about previous 
discussions on these lists by using the Mail Archives web page for this list at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries@googlegroups.com
and running a search in the text box.  Searching supports wild cards, boolean 
arguments, date range, author, and many other features, but you can get a lot 
from just putting in basic searches.  Apart from the fact that the search 
algorithms are much better than the ones from Google Groups, and that the pages 
are accessible to all user platforms and browsers, what is particularly useful 
is the ability to read up and down threads with access key combinations, 
because you can quickly view exactly what posts a user is responding to in the 
context of long threads.  I forgot to note that if you start up Safari without 
VoiceOver running, the access key prefix combination is "Control-Option" and 
not simply "Control", so you would press Control-Option-n to read the next post 
in the thread.  The archived list posts go back to December 2005, before this 
list moved to Google Groups in 2009.  The old archives are at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss@macvisionaries.com

The mac-access list, another list for Mac VoiceOver users, is also archived at 
the mail archive site, and is searchable:
http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net

If you want to find out about more lists of Mac users, many of these are 
summarized at John Panarese's Macfortheblind.com  web site.  You can also 
create a web shortcut file for the mail-archive sites to email or place on your 
Desktop, or elsewhere.  This was previously detailed here, but is more easily 
found on the "Tips and Tricks" page at John's site:
http://macfortheblind.com/Tips-and-Tricks-for-the-Mac
(VoiceOver users can use item chooser menu VO-i to navigate to "Web Shortcut 
Files", or navigate by heading).  This web shortcut file works on Windows 
machines, too. to open the default browser to the designated web page.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: AccessNote

2013-02-04 Thread Mary Otten

I don't think anybody wants to go back to "being isolated" as you put it. What 
they do want are certain features not available in the mainstream, such as what 
Anna has pointed out in her posts about the AccessNote app. I didn't hear her 
or anybody else who is enjoying the app say they want to be isolated. They want 
to get jobs done efficiently, and if the mainstream doesn't offer that, then 
they will use those apps that do, and never mind who produced them. These 
phones and apps are tools, means to an end, not sociological statements about 
blind ghettos and other such nonsense.

what i remember from when this list started, and how it has developed up to 
now. I also know i'm going to get flamed to bits for saying this, it's just 
that i think it needs to be said. Not that it matters, i a

Hi Kawal and others:


For my way of thinking, I say forget Word for the iPhone and let's AFB to do 
more with the program they just put out. I think I'm really going to like this 
AccessNote program, especially if AFB can figure out a way to start selection 
at the point user designated and then end it, also user designated. I also 
would like the option of syncing with the Cloud and not just Drop Box. I know 
they would have to talk Asple into that, but I can wish. What I really wan is 
brf files because it appears that ;this program takes out the carriage returns 
some of us have been wanting to get rid of when using a braille display. In 
fact, I am even considering whether or not it would work to change the 
extension to a brf file to txt so that you could get a brf file easily onto the 
iPhone or any other IOS device.

Currently, what I don't have is Drop Box set up on my iPhone. Someone may have 
answered this at some point, but I can't remember. How much does it cost to 
have Drop Box?

Regards,
Gigi

password prompt for no reason

Hey guys,

On this new macbook, i have told it to never go to sleep.  Yet about every 10 
minted if i just sit here with the screen open and don't touch the keyboard, 
it'll ask for the password.
Any ideas?

strange happenings in apple mail

Hey guys,
Whenever i am outside of apple mail it's telling me that i am getting messages, 
it starts reading who it is from, etc.
I'll be in another window, and it'll start saying who it is from.  Should this

Re: password prompt for no reason

Hello Jed,

There are two things happening: 
1) Your security settings are checked to require a login password if your 
computer goes to sleep or if the screensaver goes on
2) You screensaver is set to go on if there is no activity in 10 minutes.

Neither of these settings have to do with your energy saver settings for 
computer sleep or display sleep, except that it doesn't make sense to have the 
screensaver go on after the display goes to sleep.

I think you can fix this by going to your System Preferences for "Security & 
Privacy". You may need to press the "Click the lock to make changes" button and 
supply your password before you can change the setting. Either uncheck the 
check box that requires a password for the screen saver or display sleep or set 
the pop up button to only have this kick in after a long time of inactivity -- 
like an hour.  Then click the lock again to prevent further changes.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

You can go to system preferences, then notification center, and disable mail. 
Right now, it is popping up a notification for every message, and vo is

Re: How to Jailbreak iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS Using evasi0n [iOS 6.1 - iOS 6]

It is not illegal to jailbreak your device, there was a ruling in 2010 that the 
Federal Communications Commission deemed it to not to be inappropriate to 
jailbreak your device. However, last Saturday, started another thing that the 
Federal Communications Commission began in 2010. This is, it is illegal to 
unlock your device.
Jailbreaking your device provide you rude access to the device, and allows you 
to make any modifications to the device that you would like. Whereas, unlocking 
a device will allow you to utilize of that device that was designed for a 
specific carrier, on another carrier's network. The FCC no longer wants 
individuals to purchase phones at discounted prices, and then move them to 
better networks.
You can hear a demonstration of the jailbreaking process on my blog below.
In my opinion, this is one of the easiest process is once you get it going, 
that there has been for jail braking iOS

Re: How to Jailbreak iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS Using evasi0n [iOS 6.1 - iOS 6]

With all laws, there are obviously technicalities. For example, if you were 
outside of the United States, and unlocked your phone to allow it to be used 
outside of the United States, I don't see how the United States Federal 
Communications Commission would have jurisdiction then. But, I am not an 
attorney, and do not advise individuals utilizing my knowledge for legal advice.

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

Hi Sarah
Esther, as usual, has given wonderful information to help you get started. But 
I would like to say that, having learned that several screen readers, I have 
always found it easier to learn one in conjunction with other programs. In this 
case, text edit and finder would be good choices so that you can see how they 
work together with a word processor and file organization. Then you can work 
with the mail program a little and send us some emails. That way, you can try 
to accomplish some things in those programs, and see how everything fits 
altogether. Then, when you want to do something, you can ask us if you get 
stuck. Regards

Gigi

Re: some questions about getting new ram

What model identifier is your Mini? If you do "About this Mac" from the 
Apple menu then "More Info..." and then "System Report" you should find 
all kinds of good info in the second pane to the right of the vertical 
splitter. Hard to say exactly what will work without details.

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

2013-02-04 Thread Christina C.

Hi,

I am barely fiddling with the mac app but I figured out how to do a scan. If 
you go to file and click on new, then VO around in the window that opens up 
until you hear something like import from camera and scanner. Select that than 
VO and interact until you find the name of your scanner. I had to do an actual 
mouse click on the name of my scanner, I'm not sure why VO plus spacebar didn't 
work, but I had to use the command vo plus command plus F5 to route my mouse 
pointer to the VO cursor first though, even though I have that already set up 
as a default in VO. It gets muddy for me after that but I will play with it 
later.

Good Luck,
Christina

Thanks, I ended up finding some ram that works very well. The difference 
between having 2gb and now 8gb is simply amazing! I am now, finally, able to 
run a vm for windows so I don't need Bootcamp anymore. The mouse is doing odd

Re: some questions about getting new ram

Games within the VM or on the MacOSX host? If within the VM, you have to
be sure to install the latest VMWare tools to make sure all the audio,
network and other stuff behaves correctly within windows. I suspect you
already did that but just wanted to be sure.

mouse oddities in Windows VM (was some questions about getting new ram)

2013-02-04 Thread Alex Hall

In Windows. I'm using Virtualbox, not VMware, because it is free. I did the 
setup in Bootcamp where the program is marginally accessible, and then imported 
it on the mac. I had a sighted person look at the mouse options, though, and 
there was nothing there. I'm pretty sure the app is up to date, but I'll double 
check. Still, no one online seems to have the problem I'm having, and the 
situation is made worse by the fact that it only happens in games. Using NVDA's 
audio mouse tracking, I can hear that the mouse is moving normally, yet when I 
even touch it in a game my character spins around like crazy. I've turned the 
mouse sensitivity down in Windows, but that made zero difference. I thought 
someone using VMWare had a similar problem, but I could be wrong. Still, if you 
did, what did you do to fix it? The game is Swamp (by Aprone - 
www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames) if that helps.

 Hi all,
 I'm finally going to get 8gb of ram for my poor, neglected Mini. Is it 
 better to get a single 8gb stick, or to get two 4gb sticks? My 
 understanding is that dual channel mode (using two sticks) will be a bit 
 faster since both can be accessed at once, but I'm not sure if that makes 
 a practical difference. Also, Newegg.com lists a lot of mac-compatible 
 ram, but almost none of it specifically mentions the Mini. I looked at the 
 specs someone posted, but some of the items there are never mentioned on 
 product pages. If ram is safe for Macbooks and iMacs, and is DDR3 10600 at 
 1333mHz, can I assume it will work with my Mini?

Re: Uncut demonstration of jailbreak iOS six using voice over

2013-02-04 Thread Blake Sinnett


Hello,

Well, you get a bunch of stuff. For example, the ability to have buttons do 
nonstandard things like launch apps, put apps on your device that Apple 
doesn't want you to have and modify the files in the file system very 
easily. So you can change the sounds for VoiceOver to something totally 
different if you so chose. And that's just the beginning.

Podcasting client for the Mac. Any suggestions?

Hi all.
Other than iTunes, can anyone recommend a VO friendly podcasting client for the 
Mac? I'm looking for one that will stream over downloading. This is something 
that iTunes does not do well, and my Mac's SSD really isn't made for storing so 
much stuff.
Thanks for any suggestions.

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

2013-02-04 Thread William Windels

Hello,
This app seems interesting, accessible with voiceover and seems to have more 
features then abby fine reader express that I am using on the mac.

However, I can figure out if this program is also designed to work with a 
scanner:  should it be possible to start/stop my scanner from inside the 
program?
Or is this program (only) designed to import pictures from the hd to ocr them?

If I can use the program with my scanner,  is it also possible to scan from 
inside the app while the ocr process is going?

Thx for your remarks.

Kind regards,
William Windels

I believe it's spelled with a Z instead of an S. "PRIZMO"

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

2013-02-04 Thread Christina C.

William,

I cannot speak for ABBYY as I have never used it. Nor, can I offer much info 
about prizmo as I am very new to prizmo 2. I have a little bit of experience. I 
was able to use my scanner directly from prizmo. I scanned a two page paperback 
book and the results were good. I was able to export the OCR'd document into a 
pdf.  I found it a bit cumbersome and a bit difficult to get around, but it's 
brand new to me so I'm not sure if I am just a slow learner and it's actually 
simple. If you go to the mac app store it will tell you all the ways you can 
import documents for OCR. A few I remember is, from a camera, from a scanner, 
from a file, and from screen capture. I believe you can even use your iPhone 
while hooked up to your computer to take a picture.
HTH,
Christina
