questions about nvalt v2.1
Hello, I have some questions about nvalt 2.1. It's interesting for me since you can very easily write notes and find them back and, you can make a link in files to other files you have made with nvalt. It seems very accessible and there are a lot off hotkeys but , voiceover is doing strange. Going to the beginning or end of a line with quicknav off and command+left/right arrow, seems not to work as expected. It seems not always to work for activation a link. I happens when I press the internal link, I am editing the link. Next to this 2 frustrating bugs, the program seems accessible.. Any comments about this bugs, workarounds or other possibilities are very welcome.

Re: Opinion on the Focus Blue and any other display.
Hi, Kawal, I use the Focus 40 Blue, and I'm quite satisfied with it. Every Braille display and notetaker I've had I've cleaned myself, using an alcohol wipe or a microfiber cloth with alcohol.

Re: Mail messages are in folder, but the text is not being read
Can you be more specific in terms of what feedback you're actually getting from VO? Upon hitting return on a message, there should be a "message content" table that you're already interacting with, and pressing VO + right arrow should get you to the intended text. It's a bit difficult to direct you without knowing what voiceover is doing in favor of what you actually want.

Re: Mail messages are in folder, but the text is not being read
Hi Christine, You probably need to rebuild one or more mailboxes. The best source of information about this kind of problem, and a host of other tips for working efficiently in mail, is the "Take Control of Apple Mail in Mountain Lion" guide by Joe Kissell, which I strongly recommend buying: http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/mountain-lion-apple-mail Here's the relevant section from the book: Fix Mailbox Problems Most of the time, Mail works as you expect it to, correctly displaying all the messages you’ve filed in any mailbox when you select that mailbox. If your mailboxes begin misbehaving, though—not showing messages you know they contain or taking an extremely long time to show their contents, for example, you can try some easy tricks to fix them. If your envelope index—a special database that Mail uses to track which messages are in which mailboxes—and the other files that Mail uses to catalog messages become severely damaged, Mail may exhibit any of several symptoms, including: • Missing messages • Incorrect message counts, in which the number of unread messages shown next to the mailbox name in the sidebar differs from the number of unread messages you see inside the mailbox • An empty mailbox, even though you know it contains messages • Failure to move messages into a mailbox (manually or using rules) 135 • Incorrect or missing results when searching by message headers (From, To, or Subject) If you suspect that a mailbox contains errors, the standard cure-all is to rebuild it. To do this, select the mailbox (or more than one) and choose Mailbox > Rebuild. If that doesn’t solve the problem, quit Mail, navigate to ~/Library/ Mail/V2/MailData and drag the files Envelope Index, Envelope Index- shm, and Envelope Index-wal to the Trash. When you launch Mail again, it’ll tell you that you need to “reimport” all your messages (just as it may have done when you upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion). Let it do so—it’s recreating your envelope index from scratch, but don’t worry, you won’t lose any data, such as labels or message status—and when it finishes, your mailboxes should behave correctly. I would also make sure that I had a complete current backup of all relevant mail library files, which the book also describes, and which includes • ~/Library/Mail: This folder contains all your mailboxes, rules, junk mail settings, and most of the other data Mail uses. • ~/Library/Keychains: This folder contains all your keychains, which store your usernames and passwords. • ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook: This folder contains your Contacts entries and your Previous Recipients list. • ~/Library/Preferences: This folder contains your preference files, among which is the one Mail uses. Alternatively, you can reference the Apple Knowledge Base support document on Rebuilding Mailboxes for Mountain Lion: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11811 HTH.

Re: Opinion on the Focus Blue and any other display.
Hello, I've been using the Focus 14 blue for a few Months now. This is my 1st braille display experience, and so far I quite enjoy it. I like the way the keys are laid out. Dots 7-1 on the left, dots 4-8 on the right. They are set is in a fan shape, very comfortable to type on. The spacebar is just below the 14 braille cells, good placement for your thumb. On the front edge of the display, just in front of the spacebar are 2 shift buttons, again quite handy for your thumbs. There are several more buttons than what I have gone into. :) Interesting descussion on cleaning the braille cells. Using a bit of alcohol is safe? Traci Caffeine & a cure!

Cannot get MacBook Pro out of recovery mode, and that may be the least of my problems ...
Hi all, Accidentally got MacBook Pro into safe mode. Then I was able to put it into recovery mode, but it will not boot up from either the cd or the hard drive partition where the recovery disk is. I have run the verify disk and verify disk permissions. It's odd, because the message that comes back is that everything is ok, but something is definitely wrong.

Re: Cannot get MacBook Pro out of recovery mode, and that may be the least of my problems ...
Hello Jessica, I'm no expert on Mac's but I've played around with GNU Linux a lot. I don't understand what you mean that the DVD doesn't work. Can you boot from the DVD drive? Or is your DVD disk damaged and the machine can't read it. If you have the option of booting from a USB or DVD drive. I'd grab myself a copy of GRML or other talking GNU LINux distro. Then grab a external drive. Boot into talking Linux then mount the external drive and copy all files or image your Macbook drive. Then see about formatting and starting again. That's the independent way. But here in the UK, we have the genius bar which I'd make an appointment and ask the experts what your options were. Is it an older machine? What version of OS X is it? Are there any known hardware issues? What may have caused this problem? Good luck. Gena On 15/03/2013 18:05, Jessica Carter wrote: Hi all, Accidentally got MacBook Pro into safe mode.

using bootcamp inside win7 to restart the mac
Hello, Are there some tricks to set osx as boot disc for the next time from inside win7? I have win7 installed with bootcamp and osx 10.8. On windows I can use nvda or window eyes8. With the option bootdisc in osx, I can easily setup the bootcamp partition to load after reboot. But, when I want to reboot in mac after using win7, It seems more difficult. In the start menu of win7, I type bootcamp and can find a couple of things but not the possibility to reboot directly in mac. My workaround for now is to shutdown win7 by pressing alt+f4 until I have the restart option. Then , when The mac reboots, I press command+r to boot in recovery-mode and there I can change again the boot disc. But, this seems a unnecessary long way to me. thx for your help, Kind regards, William WIndels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Cannot get MacBook Pro out of recover mode ...
> Hi Georgina, Whoa, Linux? Never played around with that, but maybe will give it a go sometime. I have heard lots of good things about it. What I ended up doing was creating a copy of everything on an external hard drive, and then reinstalled Leopard on the Mac. Currently Mountain Lion is downloading, and if the migration assistant works, I will use that to reload everything back onto the Mac. Never had to do this before, and it was kind of scary. A friend helped out, as I did not know where to start. For some reason the DVD drive was not reading the disk, and that's why I installed OsX on the external hard drive. The computer is about 3.5 years old, running 10.8.2. There does not seem to be any hardware issues regarding this matter, except for getting the computer into safe mode, and putting it into recovery mode, after that. Have a good one.

Re: Reverse Panning, Was Opinion on the Focus Blue and any other display.
Actually, if you go into VO utility with VO-f8, then go to the Braille section, select the layout tab. Press the assign commands button, and there you will be able to reverse panning. I reversed it long ago, and really like it, although occasionally I've considered changing it again, since the iOS thingies don't support reverse panning, and I am constantly pressing wrong buttons going back and forth between computer and iThingie. :) HtH, Teresa On Mar 15, 2013, at 3:19 PM, Kerri wrote: > I use it too both with windows and Mac and am very happy with it on the Mac. > The only thing I wish voice over had was reverse panning but then again, I'm > probably fussy. > On 2013-03-15, at 7:08 AM, Teresa Cochran wrote: > >> Hi, Kawal, >> >> I use the Focus 40 Blue, and I'm quite satisfied with it. >> >> Every Braille display and notetaker I've had I've cleaned myself, using an >> alcohol wipe or a microfiber cloth with alcohol. >> >> HtH, >> Teresa >> On Mar 14, 2013, at 7:12 PM, Kawal Gucukoglu wrote: >> >>> Hello Everyone. >>> >>> I am selling my Essys in due course (as I've been thinking about it for >>> some time) so am in the market for buying another Braille Display when I >>> can afford it. >>> >>> So, all opinions welcome on what braille displays work well with the Mac >>> and I phone.

Re: Cannot get MacBook Pro out of recovery mode, and that may be the least of my problems ...
Hi, I understand from another message that you have already began reformatting and reinstalling your HD so this may be moot. When in Recovery mode, did you attempt to Quit the Recovery app? When you do this, it should ask you to pick a Startup Disk. If your Startup Disk is fine, it will show up as an available Startup system from which you can simply select it then press the Restart button. If your HD does not show up as a valid Startup Disk, then it may be that it has lost its blessing. The blessing process tells the computer which System folder on your Mac has all the proper requirements to allow for booting. One thing to try in this situation is to go up to the Utilities menu when in Recovery mode, choose Terminal from that menu then enter the following in the Terminal window: sudo bless -folder /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/System/Library/CoreServices -setOF Press return then you'll need to enter your Admin password. Quit Terminal then Quit the Recovery app and see if your Macintosh HD is now available as a Startup Disk. If so, life is good and your computer should start up normally. If you still have problems, something more drastic has occurred and you may need to either re-install and migrate or restore from a backup. HTH. Later...

Re: Opinion on the Focus Blue and any other display.
you can make your own reverse panning you know? Just go into the braille hotkeys and switch the two panning buttons and their functions. if you need to switch between standard and reverse panning, it's a bit clunky, but you could save the configuration files one for standard and one for reverse and then just load the one you need at any particular time. For that matter, you can do this with any braille display not only the focus. All the reverse panning feature really is is a shortcut to the actual settings to do it in jaws come to that. There's no magic involved. best, Erik Burggraaf Follow my series of articles about setting up a small business through the ontario disability support program at http://www.erik-burggraaf.com/blog Ebony Consulting toll-free: 1-888-255-5194 or on the web at http://www.erik-burggraaf.com On 2013-03-15, at 6:19 PM, Kerri wrote: > I use it too both with windows and Mac and am very happy with it on the Mac. > The only thing I wish voice over had was reverse panning but then again, I'm > probably fussy. > On 2013-03-15, at 7:08 AM, Teresa Cochran wrote: > >> Hi, Kawal, >> >> I use the Focus 40 Blue, and I'm quite satisfied with it. >> >> Every Braille display and notetaker I've had I've cleaned myself, using an >> alcohol wipe or a microfiber cloth with alcohol. >> >> HtH, >> Teresa >> On Mar 14, 2013, at 7:12 PM, Kawal Gucukoglu wrote: >> >>> Hello Everyone. >>> >>> I am selling my Essys in due course (as I've been thinking about it for >>> some time) so am in the market for buying another Braille Display when I >>> can afford it. >>> >>> So, all opinions welcome on what braille displays work well with the Mac >>> and I phone.

Re: Opinion on the Focus Blue and any other display.
Hello. Thank you everyone for responding to my questions. I have some more. If one wants to clean the cells on the display, is there something you have to lift to get at lifting the cells up to clean? I am no expert on alcohol as I've never so much poured any in a glass as I do not drink so does anyone know if you can get any kind of solution (like you can get to clean your LED screen with)? so that you spray it on the cloth to clean? Also, how long does the battery last if you use constantly? I am very much decided on getting the Focus Blue now, thanks to all you great people. I like these lists very much and appreciate everyone's opinions. Kawal. On 15 Mar 2013, at 03:09 AM, Sharonda Greenlaw wrote: > I have the Focus 40 Blue and I love it!!

Re: Reverse Panning, Was Opinion on the Focus Blue and any other display.
thanks for this, I just reversed it. I must state that it is not in the layout section of Braille, it's under Braille displays. Hope this helps.

Re: radium
Yeah you can. Go into the more options menu beside the search for stations field and under more options you will see the different outputs and volume controls for headphones and other output types. Interact with whatever slider you want to change and you can do it that way. Hope that helps.
