Hi listers,

I recently tried installing and using CleanApp, which is an app which is meant 
to help remove related files when you trash an application. However, it seemed 
a complete mess to me, at least from a VoiceOver perspective, and so I deleted 
it.

Are there any good and accessible apps similar to this?

Alternatively, I noticed there is a simple way in the Finder to search for 
related system files. I watched a youtube video about it. However, I couldn't 
seem to do with VoiceOver the things the video tutorial were saying to do. Does 
anyone know how to do this in the Finder?

Cheers,
Nic

Re: Slow start-up and log-in

[Esther]

Hi Jonathan and Rob,

Alsoft's Disk Warrior can be run from a bootable cloned backup.  It's just that 
running it from the DVD is not accessible because the system can't load 
VoiceOver from the DVD. However, if you've installed a version on your hard 
drive (either from the DVD or, more commonly, from the download) and have made 
a bootable clone with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! onto another drive, you 
should be able to run this application without problems. Since you won't be 
able to run these diagnoses on your MacBook hard drive, you attach a cloned 
hard drive, hold down the option key when your press the power on, and then 
after giving your system 20 or 30 seconds to start the boot, press either left 
or right arrow and then return.  You want to have a version of Disk Warrior on 
your bootable clone, too, and then run the program from there.  

Apple Genius bars used to keep Disk Warrior on a separate boot drive to run on 
suspect systems.  I think that most diagnostic programs like Drive Genius and 
Disk Warrior that are run from the DVD won't be accessible, but if they're 
installed on your hard drive and are available on a bootable clone, they can be 
run with VoiceOver.  (Actually, I'm not sure how much of Drive Genius is 
accessible, but I was told that at least some of this program was.  I know that 
Disk Warrior has been usable with VoiceOver, but I haven't had to do this in a 
few years.)

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Hi all! I'm wondering how to set up facebook with Adium and/or the messag Mac 
app. I looked at the internet site I found and it said i had to go to my 
profile and change something in my settings, and I have no clue how to do that. 
Can someone give me a step-by-step idea of what I'm supposed to do? I basically 
need to be walked through the whole thing. I'm new at facebook, and I tried 
Trillian, but it doesn't work well and the growl app crashes, and everyone 
always appears offline, so I can't actually chat with anybody. Thanks1
God Bless1!!
Helena

Re: a slight question about buying a mac?

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

Much of what I suggest has already been mentioned but I'll chime in anyway.  

• Due to speed and RAM on-board, I suggest you get one of the Retina Display 
units.  It will come with more RAM, usually 8 GB and with the SSD HD which is 
considerably faster for doing the production work of Pro Tools.

• The external SuperDrive is a USB3 model which connects easily with the Retina 
Display models and has very quick transfer speeds.

• The Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor is available although you may need to 
purchase a Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 as well as the 800/400 Firewire cable to 
make your scenario work.

This would be a very quick machine with the likelihood of being useful longer 
than the older models.

Just my opinion, of course.

Later...

Re: Accessible Uninstallation Apps

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

You could try logging in as root which may give you more results in the 
searches although I'm not certain that it actually does.  It does, though, give 
you easier access to normally hidden or inaccessible files.

One thing I forgot in my list of files to delete was to go into 
/Library/Preference Panes and remove any Sophos files from there as well.

Re: a slight question about buying a mac?

[Chris Blouch]

The Digi 002 uses Firewire 400 but the newer Macs come with Firewire 
800. The good news is that it is backwards compatible but you'll need a 
little dongle to change the shape of the plug. I've used these to 
connect older firewire drives to my newer laptop. Something like this:


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812191015

Or you can get a cable that has a FW400 on one end and 800 on the other 
which does the same thing but you'll pay a bit more. That might be nice 
as it means one less connection to slip apart. Of course that assumes 
the software will run ok on modern OSX. I'm not a protools user these 
days but the Digi 002 specs say they want OSX 10.2 so I'd do some 
checking whether it will work on the current rev. Maybe you've already 
done that. Sounds like these folks have tried it and it worked:


http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?p=1954064

Drivers say they have been updated to add Mountain Lion support so maybe 
it works ok

 Hi folks,

 Still I really enjoyed the wisdom Anita got when she was putting hers

 Let me ask the more pro-tools like question first however.
 My desire will be a laptop.  I want to put things together much the way
 people guided Anita to doing, being sure I still has a cd optical drive
 being very very sure I can still have firewire 400 access.  I use a digi
 002, and want absolutely to connect this device to the machine.  I think
 there is still an adapter for this if needful.
 Now, my goal would be if I can to put what I want together, but pick it up
 in store, the apple store here in Toronto where I intend taking advantage
 of the in store training apple provides.
 I want to support this effort with my business.
 Assuming I can actually finance the machine in the first place smiles, can
 I
 1, still find a laptop with the sort of firewire connection required for
 the digi 002?  That one is for those on list here who can answer that.
 2, if I follow the steps in the other thread choosing the size and other
 pieces I desire can I indeed place the order  either on the phone, on
 line, or in a store with the item going to a store for pick up?
 I imagine this will be a unit or so back, which is perfectly okay.
 My registered copy of pro-tools goes back a bit.  it is critical that I
 can connect the digi if this is impossible, then I will either wait to get
 the new mac, or get one still with things like the cd optical drive  and
 be sure I can connect other aspects of production to that machine.
 I know I will be using the full sized keyboard I have with this older mac
 anyway, so I can type normally lol.
 
 I have an older mac here already  that I use for production now.
 I know that seems confusing, but trust me lol.
 Let me stop here, as I am wanting to be very firm about what I do not wish
 to negotiate on smiles.
 Thanks,
 Karen

 Hi all,
 Recently, I began noticing a problem with the Messages app on my Mac. All 
 other services (AIM/iMessage) seem to be working just as they once did. 
 However, the buddy list for Facebook chat is no longer populating. 
 Typically, the list is completely empty, though I do get 1, no more than 2 
 names in there occasionally. THis is likely just after they sign in. I 
 haven't yet heard anyone else express experiencing this issue, so perhaps 
 I inadvertently clicked something to bring this on.
 Thoughts?

Re: MP3 amplifier

[Alex Hall]

I'm not sure what the original question was, but if it's increased volume you 
want, try VLC (videolan.org). That app seems to go way above the volume iTunes 
or Quicklook can manage, and I usually leave the volume down some to keep 
things manageable. Sorry if your question was something different.

Installing Flashplayer

[Rahul Bajaj]

Hello everyone,

I've been trying  to install Flashplayer for the last few days
without any success.
I went through the archives and found a post in which someone said
that one can install it by opening the downloaded file and selecting
"resources" by clicking on the'show package contents' option.
According to that post, after selecting "resources", one  gets a list
of options from which one has to select 1 particular option which will
open an accessible version of the installer.
However, I only get the following options after selecting the
"resources" option: app.bundle, app.ICNS and en.lproj.
What should I do to make the FP  installer work?

Skype on Mac: what should I know?

[Alex Hall]

Hi all,
I am about to put Skype on my Mac for the first time. I know the program, but 
have used it only on my iOS devices for a couple years, and on Windows before 
that. Are there accessibility concerns regarding this application on the Mac? 
Is there anything VO-related I need to know? Any settings I should configure a 
certain way? Thanks in advance.

Re: a slight question about buying a mac?

[Chris Blouch]

Need to be careful with the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter. You device 
shows up as a Thunderbolt device which some software doesn't know what 
to do with:


http://www.infoworld.com/t/mac-laptop/how-cope-the-end-of-firewire-205957

The retina can go be configed with a 2.8Ghz processor while the regular 
(cheaper) MacBook tops out at 2.7Ghz. Not sure why this is but I'm not 
sure you would really notice a 3.5% speed difference.


That said, it is odd that for a retina and non-retina machine, both with 
8GB RAM, 256GB solid state storage and max CPU speed the retina machine 
was $200 less, so why not spend less to get more? That's assuming you 
can work around the lack of a CD drive, Firewire and wired network 
connection. Ok, maybe there is a reason it's $200 cheaper. Also, the RAM 
is not upgradable on the retina macbook so order all you'll need up 
front since it's soldered in at the factory.

This would be a very quick machine with the likelihood of being

Re: Skype on Mac: what should I know?

[Mark BurningHawk Baxter]

I use Skype on the Mac all the time. While there are no accessibility concerns, 
I would say that some of the command patterns are a little lugubrious, 
involving many keystrokes to accomplish seemingly simple action. Other than 
that, however, it is perfectly accessible in music, and as I said, I use it all 
the time.

If you have specific questions, once you start using it in daily operations, 
feel free to let me know.

Great, thanks. Hopefully the options I use will be in the menus, so I can 
assign my own keyboard shortcuts to them. Well, I'll find out soon. Still, I'm 
glad there are no major problems; I see Skype come up on here every so often, 
but never followed the conversations because I never used it before. I thought, 
due to its coming up so much, that there must be problems with it. I'm glad I 
was wrong!

Re: a slight question about buying a mac?

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi Tim, all.
Because I already have pro tools hardware, including a fast external USB  drive on 
which I do all my production work, some of this is not relevant.
I cannot speak for the music people, but the first thing I was told in 
radio production is never put pro tools  itself and your production on the 
same drive.  therefore drive speed is not an issue the pro tools program 
itself and the stuff it will be working on are not going to be on the same 
hard drive.
second the need for a cd optical drive is critical.  If the retina machines 
do not have a cd  optical drive then they are not options.
so if I understand  the earlier suggestions, I will need to get a macbook 
pro circle 2012 in order to insure the firewire 800 and obtain the 800 to 
400 adapter for this to be workable?
If this machine will have any value to me for production, I must connect my 
already existing several thousand dollar control surface.


If I am incorrect about the earlier model retina  units and the cd optical 
drive  let me know.
 I might compromise slightly on the firewire because I have perfectly 
functional older mac for production in this studio.  However I cannot 
compromise on the cd drive  for transferring things
between the several other pieces of professional production equipment 
here.
Although I might have missed one, no one has addressed the pick up in 
local apple store need, even if basically put together from 
site information so i suppose this is doable.

Thanks all,
Karen

Re: Skype on Mac: what should I know?

[Chris H]

I actually think Skype is much better accessibility wise on the mac 
however I do admit to using the client on the other platform but require 
third party software in order for it to be fully accessible. not so on 
the mac. One nice feature in the mac client is the ability to use the 
system voice to announce various events on Skype. It was a while since I 
set up Skype on my mac but it's all there in Preferences, command-comma.

Hi all,
I am about to put Skype on my Mac for the first time. I know the program, but 
have used it only on my iOS devices for a couple years, and on Windows before

Is there anything VO-related I need to know? Any settings I should configure a 
certain way? Thanks in advance.

Re: MP3 amplifier

[Marc Rocheleau]

Sorry, I thought my original e-mail would be included in the last one.
I am looking for a program that can boost the sound volume in mp3
files. On the PC, I used mp3gain because it worked better than
soundcheck does in iTunes and amplifies the file itself instead of
just when you listen on iTunes. You could also decide how much to
increase the volume yourself on an individual track, so quieter
ballads weren't louder than they should be.

There's a mac mp3gain but I found it doesn't do anything to the files
one way or another. I'm going to be putting some albums on an iPod
shuffle for someone as a gift and want them to be at a similar volume
level.

I hope this makes more sense now. Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: MP3 amplifier

[Chris Blouch]

A hacky way is to play with the gain on the iTunes equalizer. With EQ on 
you can up arrow on the pram vertical slider to add 12dB of gain. It 
won't announce the value as you up arrow but 5-6 up arrows should max it 
out and if you VO-right and left it should announce 12dB preamp. In 
addition you can move up each of the EQ sliders for another 12dB. You 
can save this as a preset and if you get info on a track, under the 
Options tab, you can pick that preset to bump up the volume for just 
that track. This is in addition to the Volume Adjustment on the same 
Options tab which will let you double to volume on a track by track basis.

The Digi 002 uses Firewire 400 but the newer Macs come with Firewire 800. The

drives to my newer laptop. Something like this:

Or you can get a cable that has a FW400 on one end and 800 on the other which 
does the same thing but you'll pay a bit more. That might be nice as it means 
one less connection to slip apart. Of course that assumes the software will 
run ok on modern OSX. I'm not a protools user these days but the Digi 002

 My desire will be a laptop. I want to put things together much the way

 I want to support this effort with my business.
 Assuming I can actually finance the machine in the first place smiles, can

 2, if I follow the steps in the other thread choosing the size and other

 I imagine this will be a unit or so back, which is perfectly okay.
 My registered copy of pro-tools goes back a bit. it is critical that I can

 I know I will be using the full sized keyboard I have with this older mac

 I have an older mac here already that I use for production now.
 I know that seems confusing, but trust me lol.

Re: Encryption Question

[Jonathan C. Cohn]

I have never seen an option from the finder to encrpt a physical disk. I have 
seen it for disk images.

There are two versions of File Vault full disk encryption and user level 
encryption. Every discussion I have seen recommends using the full disk 
encryption of file vault. One truly amazing part of File Vault full disk 
encryption is that it creates a secondary partition for the encrypted data and 
encrypts in the background providing the user with a merged view of both the 
encrypted and unencrypted partitions. I haven't verified this behavior recently 
but I remember it being discussed after Lion was released.

Best wishes,

Jonathan

FS:mint mac book pro with I7 quad core processor, 512gb ssd, 8gb ram, extras, and AppleCare...

[Cameron Strife]

Hi everybody. I'm putting this on list one more time in case anybody
is interested... I don't use it much and I'd like to use the cash to
upgrade my mac pro desktop and some studio gear etc. Please write me
off list to make an offer. Thanks!

The machine has Applecare until November 30, 2014. (Includes in store
or mail in repairs, e mail support and phone support etc.) It's in
mint condision, has no issues, and has only seen lite use in my smoke
free home. I had Apple upgrade it with a 512gb solid state hard drive
and 8gb of ddr3 ram. It was done by Apple with Apple supplied
hardware, (unlike a lot of upgraded mbps around on e bay and other
places that someone did with inferior ssds etc.) All in all it was
over $3500 from the Apple store.

This machine is very powerful and very fast! it would be great for
pro tools, garage band, logic pro, game design, software design, cad,
video production, graphic design, etc or just entertainment and
general computing/office work.

Includes world wide power supply, firewire 400 to firewire 800
adapter, pouch style protective case, OSX/iLife dvds, documentation,
and a bootable copy of OSX Mountain Lion on a thumb drive. I'll
reformat the machine and do a fresh install of Mountain Lion before
shipping. If you'd rather have OSX 10.6, I could do a fresh install of
that instead.

Re: smc fan control for leopard,

[Chris Blouch]

Interesting. I wonder if there were some special characters that say 
interpreted as commands rather than stuff to say. Say normally shouldn't 
care what the source of the text is.

Hi,

To reset the SMC on an Intel based Mac:

1.  Shutdown the computer.
2.  Unplug the power cord.
3.  Leave it unplugged for 15 to 30 seconds.
4.  Plug it back in.
5.  Wait about 10 seconds.
6.  Press the power button to turn the machine back on.

That should do the trick.

Re: a slight question about buying a mac?

[Cameron Strife]

Hi. Regarding audio work, yes, of course you want to have all your
sessions on an external hard drive. Upgrading the internal drive is
still a good idea though. The likelihood of a mechanical drive failing
is far higher than that of a solid state drive failing. so, for peace
of mind, it's a good idea if you can afford it. (This can always be
done later in any case.)

Having an ssd moves things along a lot quicker with everyday tasks
too;software updates, backing up, restoring if need be etc.

Also, for critical recording, a machine with a solid state drive is
going to be far quietter than one with a mechanical drive.

And just a note on pro tools for anybody who may not know already...
Pro tools under mountain lion has some accessibility setbacks that
have not been resolved yet. Edit fields being read as "blank" and
certain menus and plugs not being accessible being some of them. The
best course of action for now is to stay with the latest versions of
pt8 or pt9 under OSX 10.6 or 10.7.

Finally, there are no gains with the new version of pt10 that was just
released, or in pt11 so for now, save your pennies. Hopefully these
issues will be resolved but Apple aren't very open with progress or
any sort of time table as is the case with the lack of logic
accessibility. We shall see...

Cameron.

The say command certainly has some special processing when encounterring

the save text as MP3 contextual menu.

VmWare, screen raiders, and the apple keyboard with numeric keypad.

[Daniel Miller]

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone has used any screen reader running under Windows and 
VmWare with the apple keyboard with numeric keypad?
My question is this. Where that keypad provide you with a JAWS/NVDA key, like a 
normal PC keyboard with a keypad does? Or are their differences with the apple 
keyboard that don't allow for that function? I'm asking because I want to have 
access to such a key for the little time I need to run Windows on my mac, and 
with my Macbook Air not having said key, it makes things quite difficult.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

Good speakers for mac mini

[Marc Rocheleau]

Hi all,

I've been making due with my mac mini's internal speaker since my old
PC speakers, a 5.1 set that hadn't worked properly in years, went
kaput. After grieving the loss for months (not really,) I think I'm
finally ready to move on and get a nice set of speakers.

Now I throw it to you for any recommendations you may have. I do have
a certain criteria though:

- I listen to music... a lot. I want it to sound good coming out of
these things.
- I will most likely be setting this up to watch DVDs since, when I
move out eventually, we'll be hooking up a TV as a display with HDMI.
We're getting a futon so our office will double as a movie room.
- I'm moving into an apartment building and don't want something too
bass heavy because of that. I don't think the neighbours would
appreciate it. ;)
- The less space it takes up, the better. I am not opposed to 5.1 but
don't want huge speakers since we'll have other stuff taking up space.
- I don't want to spend tons of money on these. $500 is my absolute
limit but I'd like to keep it quite a bit lower than that if possible.
- I'm in Canada... any links provided would be even more useful if
they're from Canadian sites.
- I want something easy to set up on the mac mini... I don't want to
mess with a bunch of adapters.

I think that's about it. There's a couple of two-speaker sets from
Bosse on the apple store but reviews are so varied that it leaves me
unsure. Many say that it has tons of bass too so I am reluctant to put
out the cash for one of those. I have had a hard time finding other
options though so I am hoping some of you may have recommendations
and/or experience that could help me make a decision.

Either way, thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer!

-Marc

Re: MP3 amplifier

[Alex Hall]

If you are looking for file modification instead of presets, try Audacity. Just 
open your file, install the MP3 encoder as described in the documentation, and 
then open your file. Go to effects, then amplification, and make your changes, 
then export the file to MP3.

Re: VmWare, screen raiders, and the apple keyboard with numeric keypad.

[Jonathan C. Cohn]

I regularly plug my apple USB keyboard with numeric pad into a windows system.
1. The numeric keypad works mostly as expected, though they keys used for 
left/right mouse buttons are shifted one position clockwise from my PC 
keyboards.
2. The insert key in the 6 pack is described on my mac as "Help" and does not 
work directly as an insert key.
3. The keys that are used for "Windows" and "alt" are reversed.
4. There is no application key on the right side.

Best wishes,

Jonathan

Re: VmWare, screen raiders, and the apple keyboard with numeric keypad.

[Daniel Miller]

Hi,

I suppose I should've phrased my question about the insert key a little bit 
better. I meant to ask if that keyboard when running under windows allows the 
numlock to be turned off, therefore allowing the use of the numpad 0 as an 
insert key for jaws and/or NVDA?

[Cameron Strife]

Hi. I'd accept $2179 and that would include shipping with tracking and
full insurance to anywhere in the continental USA. Shipping to Canada,
the Uk, and Europe will cost extra. Yes, it is an amazing machine! I'm
just not doing any on location work and the money could be used
elsewhere.

Thanks,

Cameron.

Re: Good speakers for mac mini

[Chris Gilland]

I can't give you an exact model, but have you looked at any of the stuff 
from Altech Lanzing?  I have a set connected to my windows computer, and 
believe me, all else considered, they sound amazing.  I can get them so basy 
you'd blow the roof off the place, but! I also! can make them so tinny 
sounding that it's almost ear piercingly trebbly.  these things have quite! 
a dynamic range.  Frankly, I don't think any of the two speaker+sub woofer 
sets I've seen that were manufactured by them have been bad.  Most of them 
are extremely good for what they do, not to mention very very reasonably 
priced.  I'd say check those out.  Granted the set I have was around $300, 
which I know is upwards of your budget, but trust me, you get what you pay 
for.  Take it from a guy who is a certified/qualified sound engineer who 
does audio production 8 hours a day 5 days a week for a living profession.


I don't know if they ship to Canada, though I see absolutely no reason they 
wouldn't... I'd check out


http://www.sweetwater.com

They have some amazing! and I do mean amazing! audio hardware gear!

Subject: Good speakers for mac mini



Hi all,

I've been making due with my mac mini's internal speaker since my old
PC speakers, a 5.1 set that hadn't worked properly in years, went
kaput. After grieving the loss for months (not really,) I think I'm
finally ready to move on and get a nice set of speakers.

Now I throw it to you for any recommendations you may have. I do have
a certain criteria though:

- I listen to music... a lot. I want it to sound good coming out of
these things.
- I will most likely be setting this up to watch DVDs since, when I
move out eventually, we'll be hooking up a TV as a display with HDMI.
We're getting a futon so our office will double as a movie room.
- I'm moving into an apartment building and don't want something too
bass heavy because of that. I don't think the neighbours would
appreciate it. ;)
- The less space it takes up, the better. I am not opposed to 5.1 but
don't want huge speakers since we'll have other stuff taking up space.
- I don't want to spend tons of money on these. $500 is my absolute
limit but I'd like to keep it quite a bit lower than that if possible.
- I'm in Canada... any links provided would be even more useful if
they're from Canadian sites.
- I want something easy to set up on the mac mini... I don't want to
mess with a bunch of adapters.

I think that's about it. There's a couple of two-speaker sets from
Bosse on the apple store but reviews are so varied that it leaves me
unsure. Many say that it has tons of bass too so I am reluctant to put
out the cash for one of those. I have had a hard time finding other
options though so I am hoping some of you may have recommendations
and/or experience that could help me make a decision.

Either way, thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer!

-Marc

Re: Tricking the Mac Mini into thinking it has a display

Just so I'm clear on all of this. The DVI to VGA converter is the one that 
makes it possible to hook up a PC-style monitor, right? Where do I get the 
second converter?

Re: Sophos Anti Virus and VirusBarrier Express

[Terje Strømberg]

Hi

I read in macroumors forum that Sophos is regarded by some peaple to be a bad 
antivirus software. 

I am just an average computer user and not an expert myself, but it seems like 
Webroot SecureAnywhere works fine here so far. Cloud based. Google it and see 
if you can try it.

Take care

Re: Good speakers for mac mini

[Marc Rocheleau]

Just to double-check, these speakers you're talking about should run
on the mac mini with no problems? I like that they have that kind of
range, being able to adjust the sound like that is a major plus for
me.

Re: Good speakers for mac mini

[Chris Gilland]

Well, here's the thing, some of them might have an equalizer, but mine for 
example doesn't.  Mine basically has 3 buttons on a little box which is 
connected to the two satelite speakers.  The set I have actually was meant 
for a gaming system type computer, but yes, one of the settings makes it 
really really tinny, one makes it about middle of the road, and the other 
makes it extremely basey.  I usually keep it on the middle preset.  I may 
not have spelled lanzing correctly, so you probably're gonna wanna google. 
As for the compatibility, abg, suh, lootly! they'll run on the Mini.  I 
myself have actually done it.  Granted, I normally don'[t.  Normally, I have 
it connected to my JVL studio monitors, which is then being fed through a 
send bus, then fed back through a receive on my 24 channel board, but for 
you, that would probably be over kill!  Yes, most Altech speakers I have do 
have either nickle, or gold tipped stereo 3.5MM male plugs.  The nice thing 
too is that the cords all are balanced, so your ends and outs give you the 
same wattage both ways a-syncronously.  Again, I can't tell you the exact 
model of these speakers.  I doubt this exact model is even being made 
anymore being they're several years old, but man are they worth it! 
Frankly, I'm probably just biased, but I l'l'luv! my Altechs.  Again, as I 
said initially, in my book, I don't think I've yet seen a single bad Altech 
speaker setup yet.


You really honestly can't go wrong with them.  I still do however strongly! 
encourage you to look on the Sweet Water web site.


Again, I'm not totally sure if they ship outside the US, but I would think 
they'd at least! ship to Canada.  Hold on let me call and I'll ask 'em.
So, ok, I just spoke to a guy there named Dan.  He said it depends on what 
your'e looking for if they can ship outside the states or not.  He said 
they're not an Altech dealer, so the answer there would be no, but, he did 
say they offer tons of good speaker systems and that he did based on your 
requirements have a few ideas.


So, you may wanna give him a call.

1-800-222-4700.

If that number doesn't work, being it's a US based toll-free number, then 
try their local number which is:


2604328176

and Dan is at extention 1253.

Either that, or you can try talking to the guy who I normally deal with in 
sales who is one of the nicest! gentlemen I've ever had the pleasure in a 
sales situation with working with.  I'd strongly suggest talking to him, if 
you can't get Dan.  Ironically, his name is also! Christopher.  More 
specifically, Christopher Geissler, pronounced Ggighssler.  Gice, ler.


Same number as above, and he's at extension 1297.  You can tell him your 
visually impaired friend who he should know well, Christopher Gilland 
recommended him.  I think he'll be very pleased to talk to you.


Anyway, I really hope I'm being helpful.  I'm sorry I can't give you more 
specific information/models to look at.


If you need any further help, you also can call my company and speak to the 
tech support department.  We don't directly sell speakers, but we could 
probably help you with your research to find a good set.


our number is:

704-256-0067, then choose option 2 from the main menu for tech support.  Or, 
you can reach me, directly at extension 401.

Re: Good speakers for mac mini

[Chris H]

Try the Beatbox portable wireless speaker system from
www.speeddots.com
$70 is the price, they work either via bluetooth or via a simple line in 
cable that connects to a standard 3.5 mm audio out socket, doesn't sound 
too basy from what I have heard, and as the name suggests portable, in 
fact very portable.

Good luck.

Re: Skype on Mac: what should I know?

[Rachel Feinberg]

Vo+J is your friend when accessing chat history and when going from table to 
table.
Also, keep in mind that when you're sitting in a chat window on skype, it won't 
make the sound to let you know a new message has come in. So you'll probably 
want to command+tab away from the application while waiting for a new message, 
then skype will make the alert.
Other than that, and if you remember to be out of the application when waiting 
for a message, it's a pretty good experience.
Have fun, and shout if you have questions!

Re: Good speakers for mac mini

[Chris Blouch]

Just an FYI, if you really are doing a 5.1 surround sound setup you can 
run the optical output from your mini to a standard 5.1 decoder receiver 
so when you play a DVD you get all the surround-sound goodness. Other 
than that, what speakers sound good is a pretty subjective thing. 
Personally I like my old JBL 4408 studio monitors.

Right. Then you hook that to the VGAtoNTSC converter I linked to from

Yup, it was this one:

It does take a USB port for power but my Mini has four so that was fine. I also 
already had an HDMI or displayport to VGA adapter from somewhere or other. I 
think they only ship with HDMI to DVI these days.

The end result is the mini stops its fruitless search for a monitor that isn't

Re: MP3 amplifier

True, but each time you re-encode an mp3 the sound quality gets a little 
worse. The iTunes method is non-destructive but that also means it only 
works inside the player. Have to pick the lesser of two evils.

There's a mac mp3gain but I found it doesn't do anything to the files

I hope this makes more sense now. Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: MP3 amplifier

That's why I liked mp3 gain on the PC, it just boosted the file's
volume without requiring a re-encode. I am lucky though, I can get wav
files of these particular tracks, amplify them and then encode to
mp3... so it works as a stopgap solution for now. I really wish I had
something like what I had with mp3gain on Windows though.

Re: MP3 amplifier

[Chris Blouch]

So is this the ReplayGain stuff?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReplayGain

If so then using SoundCheck in iTunes should give you something similar. 
There is no data field in the MP3 standard which specifies how loud the 
file is but there are some 'conventions' which do so. Apple has their 
convention through SoundCheck and anything that uses the baked in 
playback engine (Mac, iOS) should work just fine.


If you're really curious you could also use mac ports to install aacgain 
which is based off mp3gain which you can then operate through the terminal:

That's why I liked mp3 gain on the PC, it just boosted the file's
volume without requiring a re-encode. I am lucky though, I can get wav
files of these particular tracks, amplify them and then encode to
mp3... so it works as a stopgap solution for now. I really wish I had
something like what I had with mp3gain on Windows though.

True, but each time you re-encode an mp3 the sound quality gets a little

If you are looking for file modification instead of presets, try Audacity.
Just open your file, install the MP3 encoder as described in the

A hacky way is to play with the gain on the iTunes equalizer. With EQ on
you can up arrow on the pram vertical slider to add 12dB of gain. It
won't announce the value as you up arrow but 5-6 up arrows should max it
out and if you VO-right and left it should announce 12dB preamp. In
addition you can move up each of the EQ sliders for another 12dB. You can
save this as a preset and if you get info on a track, under the Options

This is in addition to the Volume Adjustment on the same Options tab
which will let you double to volume on a track by track basis.

Re: Installing Flashplayer

[Nicholas Parsons]

Yes, I have always ben able to update Adobe FlashPlayer normally. You open the 
disk image, open the app, then, as Teresa said, you navigate with tab and press 
space bar to activate the relevant buttons. If you navigate with VoiceOver you 
just here "image", and are not able to see the buttons. But, if you tab, you'll 
here the buttons and be able to activate them by just pressing space bar. 
VO-Space will not work. If you press VO-F4 you will here that keyboard curser 
is not focused on the same thing as VO curser. Pressing space bar activates 
what is in the keyboard curser.

Installing Mountain Lion on Partition (Probably a very basic question)

[des delgadillo]

Hi, all:
This might be a very basic question, but I've never done this before. I want to 
install Mountain Lion on another partition of my internal hard drive. I'll try 
my best to detail my situation.
What I want to do is install Mountain Lion, but have lion around in case I ever 
decide to get ProTools. Right now, the hard drive has about 350 GB full and I 
have about 400 GB of free space left on it. So what I want to do is get 
mountain Lion installed on the second partition and get all my Lion settings 
restored onto the second partition from my Time Machine backup. I want the 
first partition, the one still running Lion, to take up as little space as 
possible, since I won't be using Lion for a while.

Does this make sense to everyone, and if not, please let me know what questions 
you have and I'll try and clarify. This is my first time doing this so I'm not 
sure what information is necessary to help.

Thanks very much in advance,

--Des

Re: frontstage and vo?

What I did, is left the application open for the evening while I slept. This is 
then downloaded all of the GarageBand jam packed files, it looks like it takes 
about 3-4 hours. That's what my cited fiancé had said. When I installed it. You 
won't be able to use this application with voiceover, but the loops will become 
available in GarageBand when they are completed.

Re: Good speakers for mac mini

Just an FYI, if you really are doing a 5.1 surround sound setup you can
run the optical output from your mini to a standard 5.1 decoder receiver
so when you play a DVD you get all the surround-sound goodness. Other
than that, what speakers sound good is a pretty subjective thing.
Personally I like my old JBL 4408 studio monitors.

Hi all,

I've been making due with my mac mini's internal speaker since my old
PC speakers, a 5.1 set that hadn't worked properly in years, went
kaput. After grieving the loss for months (not really,) I think I'm
finally ready to move on and get a nice set of speakers.

Now I throw it to you for any recommendations you may have. I do have
a certain criteria though:

- I listen to music... a lot. I want it to sound good coming out of
these things.
- I will most likely be setting this up to watch DVDs since, when I
move out eventually, we'll be hooking up a TV as a display with HDMI.
We're getting a futon so our office will double as a movie room.
- I'm moving into an apartment building and don't want something too
bass heavy because of that. I don't think the neighbours would
appreciate it. ;)
- The less space it takes up, the better. I am not opposed to 5.1 but
don't want huge speakers since we'll have other stuff taking up space.
- I don't want to spend tons of money on these. $500 is my absolute
limit but I'd like to keep it quite a bit lower than that if possible.
- I'm in Canada... any links provided would be even more useful if
they're from Canadian sites.
- I want something easy to set up on the mac mini... I don't want to
mess with a bunch of adapters.

I think that's about it. There's a couple of two-speaker sets from
Bosse on the apple store but reviews are so varied that it leaves me
unsure. Many say that it has tons of bass too so I am reluctant to put
out the cash for one of those. I have had a hard time finding other
options though so I am hoping some of you may have recommendations
and/or experience that could help me make a decision.

Either way, thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer!

Re: frontstage and vo?

[Danny Noonan]

To start the downloads it's a menu option and the menus are accessible. The 
download progress window can also be read and gives status of each pack. Also 
if you have to stop dl just open the app and you'll get a notification to 
continue the download. 

I assume once you have the packs you can remove the front stage app but I'm 
afraid to try. I also want to know how to backup all the packs incase I ever do 
a fresh install.  

Danny.

Re: Good speakers for mac mini

[shane christenson]

The audio jacks are located on the very back bottom panel of the mac mini. I 
believe from what I've read, the jacks are capable of accepting optical cables, 
provided they have the correct tips to correspond with the jacks. The left most 
jack, if you're looking at the mac mini, reaching around to the back, are, 
going from left to right, audio out, then audio in. They are located below the 
SD card slot. HTH

Just an FYI, if you really are doing a 5.1 surround sound setup you can
run the optical output from your mini to a standard 5.1 decoder receiver
so when you play a DVD you get all the surround-sound goodness. Other
than that, what speakers sound good is a pretty subjective thing.

Re: drop box

[Gerry Cook]

Hi mike i've noticed that the menue extras don't work like they use to and to 
quit dropbox, is a little more difficult, because you may have to use the 
trackpad, like you use to, rather than vo m twice which made it easier. I found 
this out last week with the 205 version. I can get in to dropbox by vo spacebar 
when in menu extras however, if you want to quit dropbox you may have to go in 
to users and groups, and login items and uncheck dropbox from your mac when it 
starts, up! that's how i've found it anyway. Thanks and all the best.
