Activating a Javascript on click Event with Voiceover
Hi All, I have forgotten, if I ever knew, how to activate a clickable object on a web page using Voiceover. Would somebody be so kind as to enlighten me?

Re: Activating a Javascript on click Event with Voiceover
If vo-space doesn't work, use the mouse. While vo is on the object, press vo-cmd-f5 to put the mouse pointer on the object, then physically click the mouse. If you don't have a mouse, press vo-shift-space to simulate a click.

Re: Problem hanging up my iPhone
Do you have your iPhone in a case? I bought an inexpensive case for my 4S and I didn't have this problem until I switched cases. When I put the phone next to my head, the screen doesn't automatically turn off and VO announces the call length every few seconds. I'm wondering if something is affecting the phone's accelerometer or proximity sensor to automatically to turn off the screen and VO. With both cases, VO would do the same thing on speaker phone, but I figured the screen wasn't turning off because it wasn't next to my head.

Re: the Calculator app?
Hey Teresa, I appreciate your interest. I've noticed sense my post yesterday that the link I had in my signature is broken. I'm sure if anyone wanted to find UnitMaster, they could. However, hear is the direct link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/unitmaster/id566470245?ls=1&mt=12. That will open safari, but it should also open the app store as well. What ever you do though, put the Apple calculator in RPN mode. I'm sure you will be much happier. On Jun 1, 2013, at 12:18 PM, Teresa Cochran wrote: Thanks for this, Barry. I'm interested.

iTunes and audio books?
HI. I have 2 questions. Is there an audio player available for mac that remembers your position when listening to an audio book? I thought itunes did this if you change the media kind to audio book but I'm having trouble doing this. I will try to explain what I'm doing and what's not working. first I find the folder with the audio book and add it to the itunes library. I then go to where it says search library and search for the book. I get the search results but can't figure out how to select the files so I can do a command i and change the media kind to audio book. If I do get the dialog it seems to be the wrong book. can anyone help or as I said above suggest a player that will remember it's position? I know I could convert it using audio book builder but I was hoping there was a quicker way. lol thanks Blessings! Maria Joe and loving guide Karly.

Twitterrific and Twitter Etiquette
Hi. I recently downloaded Twitterrific but have yet to create a Twitter account. While I have read some articles on Twitter etiquette, I have yet to come across a step-by-step guide for basically hitting the ground running. Is there such a guide? If there is, could someone point me to it? Lastly, since I have never been on Twitter, and Twitterrific will be my primary Twitter client, are there any important facets of the social network that are not usable through Twitterrific?

Blind Mice Movies Remembering Playback Position
Hey all, I have been loving the content from Blind Mice Moves, but don't always have the time to watch a whole movie, and have been using iTunes to listen to the movies, and have the remember checkbox position checked in iTunes for the movie track, but that never seems to work. It had been suggested to change the file format to an audio book, but the file format under the get info menu in iTunes is dimmed and I can't change it. I went to the folder where I store all the files and tried going to the get info through there, but couldn't find the option to remember playback position. Any ideas how to get one of these files to remember your playback position. I would think you would be able to.

Recurring Phenomenon In Mail
Hi all, As they say, curiosity killed the cat. So, I hope this bit of curiosity isn't fatal. How is it that, one minute, a thread has a subject like, "Writing Documents In TextEdit", then, after a few replies, the subject changes subtly, and comes something like, "TextEdit 101 (was Writing Documents In TextEdit)"? Does somebody manually add the parentheses around the previous subject, or is this some hidden, totally awesome feature of Apple Mail?

No, it's manual. I imagine a script could make this more automated, but I don't know. Either way, it is just someone editing the "subject" field before they send their reply to a thread.

Re: iTunes and audio books?
Hi, In iTunes, try selecting the Songs button so that all items are listed. Now if you press return after entering the Search criteria. it should allow you to navigate to the Music Table at the bottom right of the iTunes screen. Interact with the Music Table and you should then be able to press cmd-i to Get Info on the selection, select the Options tab and change it to be an Audio Book. I've found that if you don't press return, a different sort of results dialog comes up and it is not useful for these sorts of things. HLater...

i phone contacts app
All: Does anyone know of a contacts app that is more streamlined than the one currently on the i phone? I find this one cumbersome to use and navigate. The part about adding a new contact is ok. But then there are to many choices getting in the way. I don't need to send anyone a fax, I don't care about anyone's pager, photo, nickname or whatever, work this and that, home this and that, the possibilities presented are endless and most of them are irrelevant.

Re: i phone contacts app
Hi Jean, If you set up both your iPhone and Mac to use the same Apple ID with iCloud, then you can easily sync the Contacts on your Mac over to the iPhone through iCloud. I'm a much faster typer on the Mac than on my iPhone so when entering large amounts of contact info, I simply enter it on the Mac and it automatically syncs over to my iPhone. Also, I can make changes on the iPhone and it will automatically sync those changes over to the contact info on my Mac. So, just one Contact database editable from both devices. The main thing that I play with in the Contact app on the iPhone is setting specific ring-tones and text-tones for important people so I can recognize them easily from the noise made when they contact me.

question about time readout for Macbook battery
Hi all, I'm finalizing the battery script for my project, and I noticed something odd. There's still a time estimate when my Macbook is charging, but it's shorter than the estimate given when the Mac is not charging. Is the one given when charging an estimate of how long the battery will take to fully charge, or is something odd going on? Incidentally, this is the second-to-last script, and I had complete success testing the already-completed scripts on the Macbook. I wrote and tested them all on only the Mini, but today was the first trial on a different machine, and they ran perfectly! Looks like I might be on track for a release some time this week, so stay tuned to the list (and Twitter).

Re: question about time readout for Macbook battery
Okay, thanks. I've really only ever used desktops, so wasn't sure what that time was for. In the script, as long as you know it is "charging" or "not charging", I don't need to state what the time is for, right? I mean, if you heard something like, 90%, 1:10, charging or 50%, 2:16, not charging you'd know the times were for time to charge and time to battery flat, respectively, right?

A Virtual structure review?
Hi folks, The stuff that lands on my desk sometimes! Anyway, I know some here run their mac in a virtual environment with another operating system, Linux perhaps even windows. I imagine for this to work, you still use all mac hardware do you not? Say you have a macbook, but you are running the virtual environment with xp. Its boot camp, or is it something else? and how do you swing the windows screen reader on the more superior mac laptop? Same keyboard of course, but jaws will talk using the mac sound setup? Correct my assumptions pleas as I may be wrong about how this works for you. how if you were doing the easier thing then Linux, by running windows xp how it would come together?

Re: A Virtual structure review?
Bootcamp is where you can choose to boot the computer into OSX or Windows. A virtual machine is where you boot into OSX, then run a copy of Windows or Linux inside a virtual machine application like Virtual Box, Parallels, or Fusion. The advantage of the latter is that, to the mac, Windows is just another running application, so you can switch into and out of it and keep using your mac apps even as you use Windows. To Windows (or whatever OS is running virtually), though, you are booted into a normal computer. That is, the virtual OS has no clue it is virtual, since the virtual machine application is basically providing a "computer" built of software, tricking the OS into running normally. Sounds, keyboards, displays... everything is provided by the mac hardware, but the virtual OS treats it like its own. I hope that makes some sense - it's pretty late here, so I'm not sure how coherent my message will look in the morning.

Re: question about time readout for Macbook battery
Yes, I would understand. Although, I think that it would sound better if it said something like 90%, Charging, 1:10 until charged and/or 50%, 3:25 remaining. Later...

Re: Twitterrific and Twitter Etiquette
There are probably articles on this, but at present I am just completing my book, Tweeting Blind. It covers everything from getting signed up to Twitter, to what id does, etiquette, and it has chapters on Windows, the Mac, PC, iOS and Android. One of the clients covered in the iOS chapter is Twitterific, as well as Tweetlist and the official Twitter for iPhone client. It will be an eBook available via various sources including the iBooks Store.
