Is I Tunes broken?

2013-05-22 Thread Kawal Gucukoglu
Hi All.

Since I updated Itunes, plug my I Phone in, Itunes is not opening. It was fixed 
in the last update but I think Apple have broken it again! Is this so for 
anyone else?

Kawal.

Re: Chess clock, was, Re: Excell macros in numbers

2013-05-22 Thread Brandt
Hi there,

The two clocks must be linked, meaning when you are timing a game, you must be 
able to stop one clock and have the other run with one keystroke. That is why I 
believe apple script is the way to go, for you can have it integrate with 
voiceover.

For example, Starting the clock for white, use right option +1. For the black 
clock, right option + 2. For pausing both clocks, right option + 3. For reading 
time remaining on the white clock, right option + 4. Black time remaining is 
then right option + 5. For different clock settings, which should be a 
dialogue, you should use right option + 6. I know that apple script is 
powerful, so I cannot see why this can't be done.

The only issue is that I have no idea where to start.

Warm regards,

Brandt Steenkamp

Hi guys personally, I like using the cloud for high-traffic list. That way, I 
can set the iPhone or the Mac, for that matter, to show message by 
conversation. Then, it's a simple matter for me to manage list traffic. That 
way, everything syncs with no trouble at all.

Re: Chess clock, was, Re: Excell macros in numbers

2013-05-22 Thread Alex Hall
Okay, so when the white clock starts, the black automatically stops, right? I'm 
actually not sure a script can do this, since it would have to sit in the 
background constantly. Calling a script with the keyboard commander (or any 
commander for that matter) starts the script, so there would be no way to, say, 
pause a clock since each keypress would start the script over again. I think 
you'd have to have an actual app for this purpose, perhaps with scripts to 
control it, but I doubt a script in itself will work here. Can any scripting 
experts tell me if I'm wrong?

 Hi Brandt,
 
 There is an iPhone chess clock app that is accessible with VoiceOver
 called the Merkmatics Chess Clock ($0.99 in the U.S. App Store).
 Unfortunately, it does not seem to be available in the South African
 App Store,  (I know you remember the problems of getting the
 accessible versions of chess game apps into the South African App
 Store.).  Here's the URL for the developer's web site, where you can
 read a complete description of its features:
 http://www.merkmatics.com
 For users in other countries, here is the App Store URL:
 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/merkmatics-chess-clock/id347870076?mt=8
 
 This is a universal app, with simple layout for the two counters, with
 the record of time and number of moves. The one unlabeled button in

 set the startup clocks and delay times for each player, as well as
 choose the type of delay.  Delay notifications are switched on by

Guide, filtering gmail in different inboxes

2013-05-22 Thread Terje Strømberg
Hi

Since i messed up the last forwarded messages, i try again.

Hi

Other may fill in and add details or correct. No problem.

In my opinion a filter option is  a great tool to keep order in our inbox. 
Noticed that some have 3000 - 4000 emails after 3 days without checking the 
email. I like many others are using gmail. A very good email client. Accesible. 
Filtering using Label and filter. You can use the Mail account built in IOS 
with gmail inside Mail IOS. If you make a new Label or a Map(this is the same 
i.e..Label is an map in your mailbox list under inbox, sent, deleted etc). 

If you don't have an gmail account you ca register one first on google.com 
Don't remember exactly how, but it is pretty straight forward and not 
dangerous. Chose IMAP if it is an option between IMAP or POP. IMAP synchronize 
email between iPhone, iPod, Mac and iPad. If you want to use the built in Mail 
program in IOS you register first on google.com then go to Settings > Mail > 
add Account. Find gmail in the list.. If memory serves, you only have to set 
username and password inside the built in IOS MAIL IF you already have signed 
an account on google.com 

Making a Label or Map.
1. Log in to gmail.
2. Go to Settings > Label. Settings are in the upper right corner. A window 
pops up and you find the Label knob.Above the inbox there are also an link 
called make a filter and after above the inbox. Opening this, the same window 
opens.
3. Find the text box. Type the name viphone for the Label or Map(it is the 
same). Hit setup knob. Now you have a Label or Map in your list under Mailbox 
i.e. inbox, sent, all e-post etc.

Make a filter rule. It is easy. Gmail is accessible and straight forward in 
this case at least.
1. Find the knob Filter in the same window above the table in a list above the 
table. Hit filter. Now we want to filter viph...@googlegroups.com to go into 
the Label or Map you made.
2. Find the knob "make a new filter". A new window with a table opens. Set a 
filter. Make search criteria.
3. Find the text field "from". Do not type anything here - leave this field 
empty. 
4. Tab to "to" field Here you type viph...@googlegroups.com. 
5. Tab to subject. Leave this field empty.
6. Tab to "cotain these words". Leave this field empty.
7. Tab to "do not contain". Leave this field empty.
8. Tab to have attachment. Leave this empty.
9. Before you tab to next step, be aware of that the only field you enter any 
text or mark is in the field "to". Tab to the knob "next step" A new window 
containing an headline called "make a filter" a table called something lile 
chose an action or command for this filter.
10. Tab to jump over the inbox. Place a check mark here. Very important.
11. Tab to mark it with a star. Leave this empty.
12. Tab to use the label. Make a check mark here. Very important.
13. Tab once to a know with a drop down list.Find the Label or Map called 
"viphone and hit it. Important: check that the Label viphone are chosen.
14. Tab to "delete it". Leave this field empty.
15. Tab to "do also use this filter on the conversations below. Leave this 
field empty. Very important that this field is empty.
16. Tab to "make filter". Finished. 

Now all the e-post sent to viph...@googlegroups.com will be sent to the label 
or map called viphone. This Label will reside in the last list under your 
inbox, sendt e-mail, delete etc. If it do not work, you have entered wrong 
address i.e. email address, period. It works. If you do exactly as described 
above. 

You will receive exactly the same 3000 emails as before, but the will be in the 
label viphone. You have therefore more space in your inbox for non list emails. 
You can do these steps for any list or from any sender. You can test the other 
options and delete those filters which do not works. Let us think about 8000 
thousand emails. You can have 4 Labels or Maps containing 2000 in each. And 
only have 70 emails in your inbox with more private subjects ore none email 
list post.

Take care

Shortcut for Sound Preferences and Settings?

2013-05-22 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, all,

I have a Mac Mini, and since it doesn't have a microphone jack, I've been 
switching back and forth between using my USB headset for system sound when 
Skype is loaded, and using my  headphone jack/speakers. I'm wondering if 
there's a way to get to these settings quickly so I don't have to open system 
preferences, then sound. Of course, I could just keep the sounds dialog open, 
but I'm curious if there might be a way to show this in the status menu volume 
control settings, or something similar?

Thanks,
Teresa

Its working here. Last time, earlier version of iTunes synchronizing did not

changed the name of the mac computer what bluetooth devices will recognize or

with usb synchronizing, but i believe it was the last thing i messed with

inaccessible third party program

2013-05-22 Thread jean parker
All:
This is my first time posting to this list but I have very much enjoyed all the 
postings thus far.
I am a new Mac user having left Windows and Jaws.  
I need to use a third party program for a job function.  I installed the 
program but it gives no Voiceover feedback.  Since I am new to this, I don't 
know if there are  things I need to change first before contacting the 
developer.  A sighted person has looked at it with me and based on his 
feedback, I know the program itself is working properly.   
So I don't know where to even begin and thought you might give some useful 
suggestions to try.
Many thanks,
Jean

Re: Shortcut for Sound Preferences and Settings?

2013-05-22 Thread Esther
Hi Teresa,

You can bring up your system sound settings using the keyboard
shortcut Fn+Option+F10, or substitute any of the other media keys for
controlling sound for F10 (e.g. F11 or F12, where Fn+F11 mutes, Fn+F11
decreases volume, and Fn+F12 increases volume).  I'm assuming that
your keyboard preferences are set with "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as
standard function keys" checked. The general rule is that you can get
quick access to the preferences settings menu for a related F-key
control by pressing the Option key together with the shortcut
combination you'd use.  So adding a press of the Option key to any
volume-related F-key shortcut will bring up the sound preferences
settings menu.  Similarly, adding a press of the Option key to any
brightness-related F-key shortcut will bring up the display
preferences settings menu, which contains a slider for setting
brightness.  On my 13" MacBook AIr there are controls for raising and
lowering the brightness of the backlit keyboard keys with the F5 and
F6 keys, so pressing Option+Fn+F5 or F6 will let me bring up the
keyboard preferences settings menu.  That won't work on laptop models
without backlit keyboards, like the 11" MacBook Air, and I don't think
it will work with your Mac Mini.  Also, if I'm giving instructions to
someone who isn't using VoiceOnver the shortcut keys are Option+F10,
F11, or F12 (without the Fn key press) to bring up the sound
preferences settings menu, and Option+F1 or F2 to bring up the display
preferences settings menu.

A second tip, if you want to adjust volume or brightness in finer
grain increments, hold down the Option+Shift keys as well.  So for
lowering volume with the media keys, this is Fn+Option+Shift+F11, and
for raising the volume this is Fn+Option+Shift+F12.

Now, an easier way to switch your audio devices without having to
bring up your system sound preferences settings is to get a free app
named Audio Switcher.  This sits in your status menubar, so you
navigate there with either Control+F8 or VO+m+m, and then switch
devices from its menu.  I'll point you to the MacUpdate page:
https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/26433/audio-switcher
You can download from there, but you should also check the link to the
developer's web page to read the documentation.  For people who
remember using SoundSource, a freebie from Rogue Amoeba that worked
accessibly up through Leopard to let you switch your audio devices,
Audio Switcher is like that.  (SoundSource isn't compatible with
Mountain Lion).

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: inaccessible third party program

2013-05-22 Thread Alex Hall
There is nothing you can do in any settings to get vo to work with an app. If 
the developer has not set things up correctly, the app won't work, and that's 
that. Apple makes it easy to figure out if an app will work or not: just try 
it, as you have. There are no Jaws or review cursors to try, no special modes, 
no access bridge, none of that, which is quite nice actually. I'd contact the 
developer and explain what Voiceover is and why you need the program to work 
with VO.

Re: Shortcut for Sound Preferences and Settings?

Yes, bluetooth Apple keyboard. If you use a bluetooth or usb keyboard not made 
by Apple, you're out of luck. Mine is a $10 keyboard from Wal-Mart that has 
served me perfectly for over a year, but Apple didn't make it so I don't have 
the shortcut keys.

Re: Shortcut for Sound Preferences and Settings?

Hi Esther and Alex,

Thanks for the great info. I have a generic standard keyboard with separate 
buttons for volume and mute. I just tried the option key with this and it 
brought up my sound preferences. I tried it with the volume buttons and the 
mute button and all with the option key gave the same result. This is something 
I probably wouldn't have thought to try if not for both your messages. Thanks 
much.

 Hi Teresa,
 
 You can bring up your system sound settings using the keyboard
 shortcut Fn+Option+F10, or substitute any of the other media keys for
 controlling sound for F10 (e.g. F11 or F12, where Fn+F11 mutes, Fn+F11
 decreases volume, and Fn+F12 increases volume).  I'm assuming that
 your keyboard preferences are set with "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as
 standard function keys" checked. The general rule is that you can get
 quick access to the preferences settings menu for a related F-key
 control by pressing the Option key together with the shortcut
 combination you'd use.  So adding a press of the Option key to any
 volume-related F-key shortcut will bring up the sound preferences
 settings menu.  Similarly, adding a press of the Option key to any
 brightness-related F-key shortcut will bring up the display
 preferences settings menu, which contains a slider for setting
 brightness.  On my 13" MacBook AIr there are controls for raising and
 lowering the brightness of the backlit keyboard keys with the F5 and
 F6 keys, so pressing Option+Fn+F5 or F6 will let me bring up the
 keyboard preferences settings menu.  That won't work on laptop models
 without backlit keyboards, like the 11" MacBook Air, and I don't think
 it will work with your Mac Mini.  Also, if I'm giving instructions to
 someone who isn't using VoiceOnver the shortcut keys are Option+F10,
 F11, or F12 (without the Fn key press) to bring up the sound
 preferences settings menu, and Option+F1 or F2 to bring up the display
 preferences settings menu.
 
 A second tip, if you want to adjust volume or brightness in finer
 grain increments, hold down the Option+Shift keys as well.  So for
 lowering volume with the media keys, this is Fn+Option+Shift+F11, and
 for raising the volume this is Fn+Option+Shift+F12.
 
 Now, an easier way to switch your audio devices without having to
 bring up your system sound preferences settings is to get a free app
 named Audio Switcher.  This sits in your status menubar, so you
 navigate there with either Control+F8 or VO+m+m, and then switch
 devices from its menu.  I'll point you to the MacUpdate page:
 https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/26433/audio-switcher
 You can download from there, but you should also check the link to the
 developer's web page to read the documentation.  For people who
 remember using SoundSource, a freebie from Rogue Amoeba that worked
 accessibly up through Leopard to let you switch your audio devices,
 Audio Switcher is like that.  (SoundSource isn't compatible with
 Mountain Lion).
 
 HTH.  Cheers,
 
 Esther

 Okay, so maybe there's nothing to be done about it. That would be strange

 I won't waste your time with trying things you've already done, but one

 Mail? E.g. classic versus modern view? Whether the message pane is open or 
 collapsed, etcetera?
 
 Best,
 
 Nic

inaccessible third party program

2013-05-22 Thread jean parker
All:
Thank you for all of the responses.
You are correct that in many ways it is actually easier that it either works or 
it doesn't.
It is also possible that some setting is not quite right.

The program is one that allows voice communications over the internet.  It has 
a similar function to Skype but is proprietary.  
I would like to know more about which settings to check.  I would also like to 
know how to direct the developer to make the necessary changes.  
All help is much appreciated.  
Jean

Re: inaccessible third party program

Hi Jean
I personally don't use Skype, but several people on this list do, both on the 
Mac and on the iPhone. Although I know you will want to use this program 
instead at work, have you thought about putting Skype on your Mac so that you 
could check it out Since we know it's accessible? That would give you practice 
in using a program that for sure is accessible, and it may give you some ideas 
with this one, especially if you also get in touch with the developer.

Gigi

press control option right arrow til you get to the all pop up button.
press control option space and then choose single or range.
Keep navigating right and depending on which option you chose, you'll have edit

  Chris,
  Another thing you may want to consider aside from what Ricardo suggested, 
related to the level of iTunes volume, is potential lead the way that the video 
was encoded, I don't know much about video encoding, but I'm sure that VLC has 
alternative decoders, that may be able to handle the audio better than iTunes. 
i personally never use iTunes for video watching, and always have VLC on hand 
if I need to watch a video. Just a suggestion, oh yeah, and how is the audio 
using QuickLook, by pressing the on the file in the finder?

Re: inaccessible third party program

2013-05-22 Thread Alex Hall
Aple could not make it simpler to add accessibility. If the app is written in 
something other than Objective-C, you may have a problem, but anything that 
uses the native Mac APIs and frameworks can easily be made accessible. I don't 
have links on hand, but a google search for "accessibility programming 
objective-c" or similar should yield plenty of resources.

Re: Shortcut for Sound Preferences and Settings?

2013-05-22 Thread Alex Hall
The line in jack is the microphone jack. Macs do not support unpowered 
microphones - you either need a powered one, or a USB sound card to use these. 
It's annoying, but I read somewhere that the reason has to do with the 
reliability and sound quality of powered mics - after all, Macs are generally 
aimed at artists and other people who would appreciate the difference, or at 
least they used to be.

Re: Printing from Priview

2013-05-22 Thread Agent086b
Thanks,
so I must write each page number I wish to print, is this correct? I have 30 
odd numbers and 30 even. When I used this printer on a PC I had an option to 
print all odd numbers pages and also an option to print even ones.

Oh well.
Max.

Re: Shortcut for Sound Preferences and Settings?

2013-05-22 Thread Ricardo Walker
Hi,

Yes.  There is a shortcut.  Depending on how you have the Function keys set up 
on your Mac, pressing FN, option F11 or F12 will take you directly into sound 
preferences.  You might not have to add in the FN key, if you have your 
function keys set up to act as hardware keys.  You would just press option F11 
or F12.

Hi,

I've used this technique before as well.  Just one correction, to take a screen 
shot, you press command shift and the number 3.
