Hi David,

It certainly should not be accessible.  Can you give us specific steps 
you are taking to create these reminders and we can try it and see what 
happens?

Re: Dragging and Dropping a mailbox to Favorites

2013-05-30 Thread Brian Fischler
Hey Tim,

I did have safari open in the background. I have shut it quit mail, and toggled 
VO off and on, then relaunched mail, but even with safari closed can't seem to 
get the mouse down to remove the mailbox and the trackpad still seems to want 
to open the Apple menu. I am thinking it is somehow focusing on the Apple menu 
on the top of that menu bar that runs across mail. Thanks for all of your 
continued efforts, and I will continue plugging away here seeing if I can get 
it to work. Thanks again.

 Hey guys,
 
 Must be some kind of a VO issue on my machine, as I followed all of your 
 steps exactly from the F5 and sure enough the drafts mailbox was under the 
 VO cursor the entire time. I also checked my settings per Tim's email and 
 my navigation was properly set up per his suggestions. I am still getting 
 an Apple menu to pop open when I push down on the trackpad over the drafts 
 mailbox when trying to remove it from the favorites bar. I also tried 
 using the VO command shift space bar but this jumps me in to the messages 
 pane of the drafts folder, which is weird since I used that same command 
 to remove the other mailbox successfully that I wanted out of favorites. 
 So it is strange that the same command will not work a second time, but 
 nothing ever shocks me when it comes to voiceover. So strange, and its not 
 the end of the world if the drafts mailbox stays in the favorites, but 
 obviously would be nice to get it out of there. 
 
 And yes, Tim I had toggled VO off and on several times previous to your 
 suggestion, as I usually find VO needs to reboot itself at least once a 
 day for some reason some times.
 
 Thanks again, and please do let me know if you think of anything else.

Re: accessible dictionries for mac or ios?

Hi Anouk,

OS10 comes with a dictionary app built-in. For further translation needs, 
you'll probably need an additional app, but for definitions as well as 
searching other things, the built-in dictionary can be quite useful!

Number of solutions mentioned here:

although it sounds like what you have should work. Never needed to do it 
but I've heard you can mount the drive under your virtual machine and 
re-share it to yourself to read from the Mac side as an SMB network volume.

Does anyone know if the keyboard voice can be changed on Voiceover?

2013-05-30 Thread Megan Bening
Hello all, 
I'm wondering if anyone knows how to change the keyboard voice on 
Voiceover. I've noticed some lag with Alex when I'm typing between the time 
I press the key and the time it's announced. No such lag is evident when 
using Samantha on my 2006 iMac, 2009 Mini, 2010 Mini, or 2011 Air but in 
all cases, the lag with Alex is evident. In a perfect world, Samantha would 
announce my key echos and Alex would handle everything else. Is this 
possible? Am I just missing something in the VO utility? 
Thanks, 
Megan

Hi Megan, press VO+F8 to bring up the VoiceOver Utility. Navigate to Speech and 
ensure the voices tab is selected. Check the Additional voice Options checkbox, 
and you will see a bunch of new voice options. One group is called Type. This 
is the one you want to change for the keyboard.

a couple of cd/dvd questions

2013-05-30 Thread shane christenson
Hi folks. I'm considering buying an external fire wire or u s b cd/dvd/blu ray 
reader/writer for my mac mini. I would prefer something I don't have to plug 
into electricity, but if it has to have wall power, that's not by any means a 
deal breaker. I don't care if it doesn't write to blu ray disks, but I have 
several blu ray disks I'd like to watch on my new machine. Any and all 
recommendations will be greatly appreciated and considered.
My second question is, if I have a dvd or blu ray disk I want to extract just 
the audio tracks from, specifically if the disk has a descriptive audio track, 
is there Mac software out there that will do this? I've heard of HandBrake, 
but, unless I'm wrong about this, it handles audio and video. If it will handle 
audio only, and allow for the extraction of the d v s track, and if it is 
VO-accessible, I'll sure give it a try. Thanks for your help on any of this.

Shane

Re: Does anyone know if the keyboard voice can be changed on Voiceover?

2013-05-30 Thread Megan Bening
Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, though, I think the type
option is only used to announce html content, text edit box, etc. In
short, the type of control you're working with. Enabling it seems not
to do anything for the keyboard voice. Do you have any other
suggestions? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Megan

Re: Is the reminders app on IOS inaccessible

2013-05-30 Thread Phil Halton
Okay, after tapping the reminder, you're placed in the details screens for 
that reminder.
The first field is the text description field for the reminder - simple 
enough to edit that.
then you have the "remind me on a day" switch. double tap it to turn date 
reminder on and off.
When its on, the next field is the actual date field. Double tap the date to 
edit it. A date/time picker will appear at the bottom of the screen. Touch 
somewhere near the bottom and you'll activate the pickers. They disappear 
automatically when you flick away from them. And, you can't flick to them - 
you have to touch them to get there.

Re: a couple of cd/dvd questions

2013-05-30 Thread Chris Blouch
Playback of bluray on Mac is still a bit of roll your own. Some folks 
say you should just rip the disc with MakeMKV and then play it back with 
VLC. For regular DVDs you should be able to just use Apple's DVD player. 
The difficulty with any flavor of video disk is that if you are in the 
states the mere act of copying the data off your disk violates the 
digital millenium copyright act. This relegates useful tools to the 
backwaters of the internet and overseas.

Re: Basic Recording with Garage Band

2013-05-30 Thread Ricardo Walker
Hi,

Thats a very broad question haha.  First off, I'm assuming your just wanting to 
record spoken word?  If so, open garageband and select new project.  From the 
template section, select voice.  Type a name for your project, where you want 
to save it, and press the create button.  

Ok, you will have 2 tracks already in your project.  a female track and a male 
track. You can select tracks in your project by just press the up or down 
arrow, with quick nav turned off of course.  to start recording, simple press 
the letter R.  To stop, press spacebar.  The left and right arrow keys fast 
forwards and rewinds.  Using option with left or right arrow moves you in 
larger chunks.  

This should be enough to get you started.

Re: Is the reminders app on IOS inaccessible

2013-05-30 Thread Danny Noonan
It's accessible but you have to feel round the screen for the time and date 
pickers rather than swiping.  



To save some typing tap means double tap. 
Tap add reminder. 
Type the reminder name. 
Tap edit details which appears to the right of the text field. 
Tap  on a day. 
Now a date will appear right in the middle of the screen. If you use speed dots 
its directly at the center dot.   
Tap the date. It should be today's date. 
It will now be selected and you now have to feel in the bottom section of the 
screen where the time and date pickers have  appeared. It's important that you 
touch the picker section of the screen as swiping will deselect the date option 
in the middle of the screen and the pickers will go away until you tap the date 
again. 
You can swipe between day, month, hour, minutes in 5 minute intervals and am/pm 
but swipe outside the picker section and again, the pickers disappear. 
Tap the repeat button  for a screen with never, daily, every week, 2 weeks, 
month or year options. 
You can also tap show more to get options to set priority, choose which 
reminder list the reminder is in and to add text notes. Tap done when your 
finished and that's that. .  



Hope this helps and holler with any more questions. 
Danny

Re: Problem hanging up my iPhone

2013-05-30 Thread Danny Noonan
2 finger double tap to answer and end calls makes the phone so much better with 
voice over and should be taught to us all from the start but your not the only 
one who doesn't or didn't know. Smile. 2 finger double tap starts and stops 
most audio and video and calls, face time etc are audio and video so once you 
know it sort of makes sense.

Danny

Re: Is the reminders app on IOS inaccessible

2013-05-30 Thread Lisette Wesseling
Hi David,
I agree with you the reminders app is a little weird but below is how I get it 
to work.
Once you've created the reminder text, go to the edit details button.
Press show more
Tap the remind me on a day switch to on
Double tap the day and time it gives you as the default and it will say 
selected.
Then, and here's the tricky bit, don't flick right to the date field because 
you won't find it. Just drag your finger down the screen a bit to the right and 
you will land on one of the pickers for day, time etc. I can do this 
consistently on my iPhone five. For some reason, flicking misses this field, 
but exploring the screen with your finger with a gentle drag down will find one 
of the pickers. Once you've landed on them, flicking between them seems to work.

I hope it works for you. This took me months to figure out but I was determined 
it should work. And it does.

Lisette

unlocking files copied to hd from ntfs drive

2013-05-30 Thread Anouk Radix
Hello, since i still  have problems ewriting to my ntfs drive from the mac i 
decided to copy some files to the mac itself. I did so and they do show up but 
when i try to edit a file textedit still says i dont have permission and need 
to duplicate the file if i want to edit it. Apparently its locked (i guess 
thats the seem as read only in windows) i find it weird though, if i copy 
directories within windows from this drive to the hd they are not read only. 
IOs there a way to disable this and make these files unlocked?
Thanks

Re: Dragging and Dropping a mailbox to Favorites

Brian,

How does the trackpad behave when not in Mail?  Try going to the Finder, 
navigating to something located on your Desktop, make sure that the mouse 
pointer is at the VO-Cursor location with VO-cmd-f5 then double-click on your 
trackpad.  Does it open the selected item or does it do the Apple menu thing 
there to?

 That mailbox can appear and disappear so would it make a difference if you

Hi,

Try navigating to the file then press cmd-i to Get Info on it.  Just after all 
the label checkboxes,  there will be an checkbox for if the file is locked or 
not.  Make sure that it is not checked.  Don't confuse this checkbox with the

Re: Several iPhone 5 questions.

2013-05-30 Thread Esther
Hi Mark,

I'm not sure how you're syncing your playlists, but in general for iTunes, if 
you create a playlist and want to make sure that it is ordered the way that you 
want, view the playlist in iTunes the way it should appear. Generally, that 
should be the order in which you added items.  Assuming that you have set up 
your iTunes in list view in the "Classic" display mode that was used prior to 
iTunes 11, jump back to the playlist in the sidebar with VO-J, then bring up 
the context menu with VO-Shift-M and select "Copy to Play Order".  This forces 
the playlist item order to match the order that was displayed in the table of 
playlist tracks.  If you had sorted that table by artist, album, track name, or 
some other column, and then jumped back to the playlist in the sidebar with 
VO-J, brought up the context menu and selected "Copy to Play Order", this would 
force the playlist item order to match your current sorted order. This is not 
specific to the iPhone 5 or iOS -- it should work for any Apple iPod, as well, 
that is connected to your computer and is synced.  If you're trying to sync 
through the cloud, I'm not sure whether this will work.  The sidebar only 
appears if you have iTunes 11 back in the "Classic" view (e.g., you pressed 
"Command-Option-S" to toggle the sidebar back on).  I also assume you have 
selected the "Songs" radio button and are using list view.

Is there some reason that you need to use the weather underground with a high 
visual user interface content?  What's wrong with using the mobile version of 
the weather underground page? I use the weather underground mobile site, which 
has the URL:
http://m.wund.com/
They even have a mobile site that is optimized for the iPhone, that I use on my 
iPhone:
http://i.wund.com/

Type in your city or postal code into the text box and then press return. You 
can bookmark this page.  On the iPhone I double tap the "Go" button in the 
bottom right corner of the virtual keyboard. Then, once you have the forecast 
page for your city, save it to your home screen by double tapping the Safari 
"Utilities" button at the bottom of your screen, just above the home button.  
Double tap the "Add to Home Screen" button, and you'll be able to access the 
weather report for your city, both current and forecast.

As for finding iOS 6 changes, assuming you want VoiceOver specific 
announcements, try the Vision Australia podcast pages.  I just typed "vision 
australia ios 6" into my Google Search and got taken to their web page on 
Smartphones, tablets and Apple iOS devices.  There are a number of entries 
under "Apple iOS 6" including feature changes and accessibility, etc.

Here's a shortened link to those pages:

background, mostly in the tranquil dimension, that sound like anything from 
birds screaching to people having a conversation that sounds like just bits and 
pieces.  What's that all about?
  I remember a couple times, and I thought this was wild as ever, I got this 
track from the Dumbo soundtrack stuck in my head, but can't remember the name 
of the song, but remember part of it containing a portion of the song where the 
train itself was actually was vocal, but couldn't understand anything the thing 
said passed "all aboard," and ironicly, one of those sound clips in the game 
said something about stairs being slippery and to take caution when exiting the 
train, or something along those lines.
  So the first time all this happened I was thinking "damn, is this thing a 
mind reader?"  So then I tried it again and for some reason got the same 
results, which creeped me out, but didn't happen again when I tried it a third 
time, so could've just been a right place, right time sort of a thing.

Re: mac client for the Playroom?

2013-05-30 Thread Jessica Moss
I don't have vmware on my mac, and don't know if it could run properly on my 
machine considering the fact that I only have a 300 gb harddrive.  I got my 
macbook pro with a small harddrive not planning on running Windows on it, sense 
I didn't think I'd ever use it again, and really glad to be rid of it, but now 
find that on occasion am forced to use my pc, because I still need webvisum 
once in a blue moon, and can't get firefox on my mac to cooperate so that I can 
install it that way, which I'm not thrilled with.
  Aside from that, I'm perfectly satisfied with my mac as-is, and hope they'll 
develop a client for the playroom, because it sounds amazing.  I love rsgames, 
but it's pretty much dwendled down to nothing, which I can see why, because it 
has very few games on it compared to the playroom.

Re: mac client for the Playroom?

2013-05-30 Thread Jessica Moss
I found a thread on one of the forems where some did, and the owner sounded, in 
my oppinion, a bit rude when he stated that he hadn't created one because he 
didn't own a mac, and something about being in school, and this and that.  Ok, 
what does that have to do with anything?
  There are others out there I'm sure who can design one, unless there's 
something out there I'm missing.

Hey Rebecca Are you talking about viewing lists in Night Owl, sorry can't spell 
the Japanese name of it. You can view your lists as tabs buy going to the 
settings and going to tabs in the toolbar, under tabs go to the final option 
and open it you can set what lists show up as tabs here. Good luck.

Re: Dragging and Dropping a mailbox to Favorites

2013-05-30 Thread Brian Fischler
Hey Tim,

I hope I was doing what you wanted me to check, as when I moved around the 
desktop I had VO on the trackpad turned on. Was it also supposed to be off, as 
when I try and move the mailbox out of favorites I thought VO on the trackpad 
had to be off. Moving around the desktop and double tapping on a folder opens 
the folder just fine, no mention of the Apple menu like when trying to remove 
the mailbox out of favorites. Thanks.

2013-05-30 Thread Tim Kilburn
Brian,

Oops, sorry for not being entirely clear.  VO needs to be on but the trackpad 
commander should be turned off.  Yes, you are correct, when doing all this 
Dragging and Dropping stuff that we've been fighting with, the trackpad 
commander DOES need to be turned off.  So, with VO on, the trackpad commander 
off, move with VO to some item on your Desktop, make sure that mouse focus is 
on that item as well, then use the trackpad to do a double-click the trackpad 
like a sighted person would.  Not the double-tap like VO users use when using 
the trackpad commander or on an iOS device, an actual double-click.

Let me know what things do.  thanks for your help.

 who recently joined them after being on rsgames for a while and said they 
 had more people on their, which I find pretty believable sense after 
 signing up, I found that it had way more games, but when I went to 
 download their client, I found they only had one for Windows, which was 
 really disappointing.
 So whatever anyone's thoughts are on thins, would really be appreciated, 
 sense I would really love to try these.

Re: accessible dictionries for mac or ios?

2013-05-30 Thread Esther
Hi Anouk,

As Daniela mentioned, Ultralingua has accessible dictionary apps on both the 
Mac and iOS platforms.  There was substantial feedback and interaction with 
VoiceOver users several years ago.  As it happens, it seems that the 
Ultralingua dictionary apps for iOS just went on sale for 50% starting 
yesterday, according to their blog:
http://blog.ultralingua.com/

I actually caught the price drop for dictionaries that I recognized in the 
Store News app, then went to check out their web site to find out whether this 
was true for all their iOS products.  It coincides with a major upgrade of 
their iOS dictionary apps to version 2.3, and is probably timed to also hit 
Apple's World Wide Developer Conference that will take place soon. I think most 
of their iOS apps are universal -- so they'll work on iPhone and iPad.

A lot of translation apps hook into Google Translate, which is also available 
as an iOS app. The main annoyance of using a lot of dictionary apps on iOS is 
the trend for inserting links into most or all of the words in the definitions. 
 I keep around older versions of some of the dictionary apps before they went 
wild with the links, and just don't update them.  You can read some of Amir's 
posts on AppleVis about discussions with dictionary app designers. The American 
Heritage Dictionary 5th edition was one of the apps that was updated with 
VoiceOver users in mind (not available in the app store currently, but supposed 
to return soon).  The Australian Oxford Dictionary is another one in the same 
group.  (Neither of these appear to be available right now, but they're in the 
over $20 category for purchases.)

ABBYY has the Lingvo dictionary apps that can integrate with the OCR functions 
of their TextGrabber app.  They're only OK, and accessibility is about the 
level of TextGrabber just before the latest version upgrade -- that means 
they're usable, but the control labels haven't been optimized for VoiceOver 
users.  I think the Ultralingua dictionary and thesaurus apps are better (and I 
would wait for a sale on the Lingvo dictionary apps if you want to try them out 
-- the ABBYY app prices have been bouncing around.) 

As Rachel stated, there is also built-in dictionary support both in Mac OS X 
and under iOS.  You can get spelling support in other languages if you switch 
your input language keyboard to another language.

If you want an easy-to-use and quick translation app for iOS, I'd recommend 
SayHi Translate ($0.99).  This is not meant for professional translation use, 
but it has a convenient and fairly accessible interface.  It was slightly more 
accessible before the version 3 upgrades in December 2012, but is still OK.  
Again, read the app entries at AppleVis. For a number of languages (not all), 
you can just speak, and have your voice recognized, then listen to the 
translated phrase transcribed and spoken. (Again, not all languages that are 
supported for translation have voices that will speak the translated phrases.)  
You can copy the translated phrase to clipboard, or send it via email.  This is 
particularly useful if you work with languages that are not written with Latin 
characters.  Navigating to the original text phrases for copying, repeat 
pronunciation, or forwarding as email, text message, etc. is what is slightly 
less accessible with VoiceOver in the more recent versions -- once you select 
the phrase, the window with options to copy, etc. comes up in the middle of the 
screen, where it use to appear almost directly above the translated text in 
earlier versions.  This is more of an issue for iPad usage than on the iPhone.  
It still works with VoiceOver -- just more of a nuisance to get focus to the 
right location.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: Dragging and Dropping a mailbox to Favorites

2013-05-30 Thread Brian Fischler
Hey Tim, Interesting, actually we were talking about the same thing, I meant 
with the trackpad commander turned off not VO. Anyway, this is interesting as 
when I do a VO F3 on the desktop I get the folder is under VO cursor, when I do 
a VO F4I get the folder is under the ,keyboard focus, , but when I do the VO F5
On the desktop, I get a ding, if I press VO F5 again I do get the inches of 
where the mouse must be, but it doesn't read me the same folder name it does 
for the F3 and F4, so I am assuming that something must be blocking it? Any 
ideas, but I am guessing this is also what is causing the problem with removing 
the folder from favorites, although I do get VO F3 F4 and F5 to all match up 
when I go onto the folder I want to remove in favorites. I hope I explained 
this all ok, thanks for all of your help and continuing to investigate. May 30,

 Hey Tim,
 
 I did have safari open in the background. I have shut it quit mail, and 
 toggled VO off and on, then relaunched mail, but even with safari closed 
 can't seem to get the mouse down to remove the mailbox and the trackpad 
 still seems to want to open the Apple menu. I am thinking it is somehow

re-launching Finder?

2013-05-30 Thread Alex Hall
Hi all,
We have a 2007 Mac Mini on which I am going to enable Airdrop. Part of the 
process is to restart Finder, and to do that I have to hold down option while 
right-clicking the Finder icon. Obviously, I can't do that with VO, so what is 
the keyboard-only way to re-launch Finder? Thanks.


Have a great day,

Re: re-launching Finder?

2013-05-30 Thread Jessica Moss
I don't think so; I've tried to do that several times, and the finder never 
actually relaunches, and in the end you have to shut the machine down via the 
power button.  I've unfortunately had to do that several times when I've tried 
to empty my recycle bin or copy a file, and one or the other gets hung up, and 
canceling the operation does nothing but say "stopping," but the operation 
never stops, just sits.

means a deal breaker. I don't care if it doesn't write to blu ray disks, but 
I have several blu ray disks I'd like to watch on my new machine. Any and 
all recommendations will be greatly appreciated and considered.
My second question is, if I have a dvd or blu ray disk I want to extract 
just the audio tracks from, specifically if the disk has a descriptive audio 
track, is there Mac software out there that will do this? I've heard of 
HandBrake, but, unless I'm wrong about this, it handles audio and video. If 
it will handle audio only, and allow for the extraction of the d v s track, 
and if it is VO-accessible, I'll sure give it a try. Thanks for your help on 
any of this.

I have seen this problem.  I just updated my Iphone 5 which I bought

there is a certain button you can poress to hang up calls.  I'll have to
look in the manual.

You're making this way way harder than it has to be.  Just two finger double 
tap anywhere on the screen, and that should both answer a call, as well as 
hang up a call.

Re: Is the reminders app on IOS inaccessible

The thing about reminders that I! didn't quite understand is the area that

Subject: Re: Is the reminders app on IOS inaccessible


It's accessible but you have to feel round the screen for the time and date 
pickers rather than swiping.




To save some typing tap means double tap.
Tap add reminder.
Type the reminder name.
Tap edit details which appears to the right of the text field.
Tap  on a day.
Now a date will appear right in the middle of the screen. If you use speed 
dots its directly at the center dot.

Tap the date. It should be today's date.
It will now be selected and you now have to feel in the bottom section of 
the screen where the time and date pickers have  appeared. It's important 
that you touch the picker section of the screen as swiping will deselect the 
date option in the middle of the screen and the pickers will go away until 
you tap the date again.
You can swipe between day, month, hour, minutes in 5 minute intervals and 
am/pm but swipe outside the picker section and again, the pickers disappear.
Tap the repeat button  for a screen with never, daily, every week, 2 weeks, 
month or year options.
You can also tap show more to get options to set priority, choose which 
reminder list the reminder is in and to add text notes. Tap done when your 
finished and that's that. .




Hope this helps and holler with any more questions.

   Why do you have to restart Finder to use Air Drop?  Does a Mini from 2007

Re: re-launching Finder?

2013-05-30 Thread Alex Hall
You can enable it, or something like it, in terminal:
defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces 1

You must re-launch Finder for the change to take effect. Incidentally, I 
figured out a way: I held option down as I hit vo-shift-m (obviously you need 
two option keys, or KeyRemap4Macbook, to do this) and the relaunch option was 
there. I love Apple!

Re: Is the reminders app on IOS inaccessible

2013-05-30 Thread Danny Noonan
I don't have that but ill hazard a guess. Do you have lots of reminders? If so 
a multi page switcher may show as an alternate option to the 3 finger swipe to 
scroll through screens of reminders. 

As I use calendars for most things I only have a few reminders in my lists.

It's accessible but you have to feel round the screen for the time and 
date pickers rather than swiping.




To save some typing tap means double tap.
Tap add reminder.
Type the reminder name.
Tap edit details which appears to the right of the text field.
Tap  on a day.
Now a date will appear right in the middle of the screen. If you use speed 
dots its directly at the center dot.

Tap the date. It should be today's date.
It will now be selected and you now have to feel in the bottom section of 
the screen where the time and date pickers have  appeared. It's important 
that you touch the picker section of the screen as swiping will deselect 
the date option in the middle of the screen and the pickers will go away 
until you tap the date again.
You can swipe between day, month, hour, minutes in 5 minute intervals and 
am/pm but swipe outside the picker section and again, the pickers 
disappear.
Tap the repeat button  for a screen with never, daily, every week, 2 
weeks, month or year options.
You can also tap show more to get options to set priority, choose which 
reminder list the reminder is in and to add text notes. Tap done when your 
finished and that's that. .




Hope this helps and holler with any more questions.

 I hope I was doing what you wanted me to check, as when I moved around the 
 desktop I had VO on the trackpad turned on. Was it also supposed to be 
 off, as when I try and move the mailbox out of favorites I thought VO on 
 the trackpad had to be off. Moving around the desktop and double tapping 
 on a folder opens the folder just fine, no mention of the Apple menu like 
 when trying to remove the mailbox out of favorites. Thanks.

Hmm.  Nothing there should be causing any issues related to mouse movement.  
The only things I have different is that I check both the "Allow Cursor 
Wrapping" and "Skip Redundant Labels" but I can't see how that would affect 
anything.

• Do you have or use a Braille display?
• In the Visuals section of the VO Utility, Caption Panel checked or not check? 
 Touch pane, what's the transparency level set to?  Menus pane, what's the 
transparency level set to?

Sorry for prying into your personal life, I'm just nosy.

Re: a couple of cd/dvd questions

2013-05-30 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

You're right regarding many of the modern Windows units.  You're not quite 
there with the Mac and Blu-Ray stuff.  You can play Blu-Ray content on a Mac 
with a third party app such as from

http://www.macblurayplayer.com/how-to-play-a-bluray-disc-on-mac.htm

and of course you'll need a compatible external Blu-Ray drive.  I'm guessing 
that as Apple was moving away from providing built-in CD/DVD devices, there was 
less desire to bother putting Blu-Ray into their various models.

Re: accessible regular epxression app for the mac?

2013-05-30 Thread Chris Blouch
Could you just practice using the command line in terminal? For example 
you could make a test text file called 'bob' and then use sed to run 
some regex substitution like this:


cat test | sed 's/And/Dan/g'

which would replace all the instances of 'And' in the output of the cat 
command with 'Dan'.

Re: a couple of cd/dvd questions

2013-05-30 Thread Chris Blouch
Other World Computing sells Mac compatible BlueRay external drives 
starting at $68


http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/blu-ray

Of course you would then need software to read a bluray. I wonder if 
Apple's push to go diskless is early adoption of a perceived future 
trend or a push for more iTunes purchases. It's hard to tell as there is 
a conflict of interest but you can't easily separate the sauce from the 
spaghetti. For me, I still like my computers with optical drives.

Hi,

You're right regarding many of the modern Windows units.  You're not quite 
there with the Mac and Blu-Ray stuff.  You can play Blu-Ray content on a Mac 
with a third party app such as from

http://www.macblurayplayer.com/how-to-play-a-bluray-disc-on-mac.htm

and of course you'll need a compatible external Blu-Ray drive.  I'm guessing 
that as Apple was moving away from providing built-in CD/DVD devices, there was 
less desire to bother putting Blu-Ray into their various models.

I'm not even 100% sure if blue ray works on the Mac with the appropriate drive. 
 I'm not saying it doesn't.  I'm only saying I don't know if it does, seeing 
that no mac systems come with a Blue ray drive, which I'd think most modern 
windows based machines would, wouldn't they? or am I wrong.

Subject: a couple of cd/dvd questions


Hi folks. I'm considering buying an external fire wire or u s b cd/dvd/blu ray 
reader/writer for my mac mini. I would prefer something I don't have to plug 
into electricity, but if it has to have wall power, that's not by any means a 
deal breaker. I don't care if it doesn't write to blu ray disks, but I have 
several blu ray disks I'd like to watch on my new machine. Any and all 
recommendations will be greatly appreciated and considered.
My second question is, if I have a dvd or blu ray disk I want to extract just 
the audio tracks from, specifically if the disk has a descriptive audio track, 
is there Mac software out there that will do this? I've heard of HandBrake, 
but, unless I'm wrong about this, it handles audio and video. If it will handle 
audio only, and allow for the extraction of the d v s track, and if it is 
VO-accessible, I'll sure give it a try. Thanks for your help on any of this.

Shane

Re: accessible regular epxression app for the mac?

2013-05-30 Thread Barry Hadder
Hey Yuma,

Best thing to do is play around with sed or find.  In terminal, you can type 
man find to learn how to use it.
A good sed tutorial is at: http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html.  You can also 
type man re_format at the terminal to learn regular expression syntax.
