Sorta off-topic, but maybe not: Station playlist studio in a virtual machine

2013-06-04 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hello there,
Does anyone have experience using Station Playlist Studio for broadcasting 
using a virtual machine? The reason why i ask is that when i try using it, the 
sound can be choppy and worse, i get about a 1 second delay between me speaking 
and the sound coming back using a wireless Plantronics headset. Can i at all 
decrease the latency or do i have to use a Bootcamp partition to avoid this 
problem? How do you who broadcast from a virtual machine with Station Playlist 
studio do this? Thankful for any tips.
/Krister

Need app to diagnose Macbook hardwares health

2013-06-04 Thread Nickus de Vos
Hi all
I'm looking for a app or other way to diagnose the health of a
Macbook. It's a mid 2009 Macbook white 2.1 GHz dual core, 2 GB memmory
and 160 GB hard drive. It's currently running 10.8 ML but I'm busy
updating it to 10.8.3. Thing is I don't really know the history of
this machine, my cousin baught it from someone and now I have the
option to buy it from him but don't want to waist my money on
something which will die in a month or 2. From what I have seen so
far, the battery is still pritty decent but don't know how to test the
other hardware.

Amazingly, this is one of the few things I miss from Windows.

Browsing trash and moving files (was Frustrating Problem with Quicknav)

2013-06-04 Thread Alex Hall
To find a file in the trash, open it from your dock, or browse to ~/.trash in 
Finder. From there, it is a matter of copying or moving the file back to where 
you want (vo-shift-m might reveal a "restore" option, I didn't look).

To move files, hit cmd-c to copy them like normal. When pasting, though, use 
option-cmd-v to move the file, instead of just cmd-v, which copies.

Re: After shocks blue tooth headset.

2013-06-04 Thread Eugenia Firth
Hi guys
What are you always wanted is a little speaker, preferably blue tooth, that can 
set up on your shoulder and speak out GPS information. I bought one that I was 
hoping would do that, but unfortunately it turned out only to work when the 
phone was acting for the phone call. Does anybody know about a device that 
would do it when the phone is not active? I know what non-Bluetooth device 
would do it, but I'm talking about a Bluetooth one.

 You wear them with the band behind the head and they come over the ears 
 and rest on the bone in front of the ear. Kind of like wearing glasses 
 backwards.
 
 As I say they work fine and connect easily to the iPhone, I just don't 
 need them as I thought I would.
 
 If interested, I would sell them to you at a discount, say $50 U.S.
 I assume you are in the U.S.?

 Can you tell me, then, if there is a delay? I'm thinking about getting 
 these, as I do a lot of walking with my phone as a gps and would love 
 wireless, non-blocking headphones. I've heard that bluetooth has a delay,

I don't have specific models, but this might help. As you search for a speaker, 
just make sure it supports A2DP, as that will let VO, music, sounds, and 
everything work properly.

Re: Need app to diagnose Macbook hardwares health

2013-06-04 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

Check out this link:

http://osxdaily.com/2012/03/04/mac-maintenance-tips/

For the most part, the only things you can really test are the battery and the 
HD.  The battery can be checked in your System Prefs in the Energy Saver pane 
and the  be HD can be checked in Disk Utility.  Other than these two items, if 
something is going to crash, then it probably will just do it without any real 
warning.  These laptops are generally quite reliable so it's kind of your call.

HTH.

Re: Audio highjack pro and recording.

Hi,

The scripts can be found at www.appletothecore.info.  Its under the Apple To 
The Core Episode 6 heading.

Importing and exporting is pretty straight forward.  Copy the two files or, how 
many ever files you have, open garageband and create a new project, press enter 
to make sure your at the beginning of your timeline, and paste with command V.  
Thats it. your files have been imported into garageband.  To export, go to the 
share menu, and select export song to disk.  Select where you would like to 
export the file, a long with the file type and quality you prefer.

 Can you tell me, then, if there is a delay? I'm thinking about getting 
 these, as I do a lot of walking with my phone as a gps and would love 
 wireless, non-blocking headphones. I've heard that bluetooth has a delay, 
 though, and am wondering just how bad it is? Is it noticeable? Obvious but 
 still useable? Annoying to the point of making you switch back to wired 
 headphones? Thanks.

OCR: what does Abbyy offer that Prizmo does not?

2013-06-04 Thread Alex Hall
Hi all,
Regarding OCR, what is good about Abby Fine Reader? I was just talking to 
someone on Twitter who strongly recommends Prizmo over all other OCR apps for 
the mac. Docuscan can't handle JPG files or process multiple pages as one file, 
and its OCR is cloud-based. What about Abby though? Why would someone use that 
over Prizmo? I have no stake in any of these apps, so I'm not trying to put any 
of them down, I just want to hear from you Abbyy users why you use that app 
over Prizmo or some other solution. Thanks!

Re: Need app to diagnose Macbook hardwares health

2013-06-04 Thread Nickus de Vos
Thanks a lot for this info. I know I'm stretching the limits with
Mountain lion but read that it can take it so thought what the heck
and installed it, if I have any problems I will go back to Lion. I
inicially struggled quite a lot when I formatted the hard drive to
install a fresh OS. During the fresh install the process freezed up a
few times and I had to start everything all over again, this is where
I thought there must be something wrong someware with the hardware. I
first tried 10.8 a few times and also thought this caused the freez
up, then tried 10.7 but it also kept freezing, then finally yesterday
I somehow got 10.8 to completely install

Re: OCR: what does Abbyy offer that Prizmo does not?

2013-06-04 Thread Brian Fischler
I am also curious to hear more about Abby and Prizmo if anyone has used both of 
them. I have a cancan and have been using the software that comes with it to 
scan into PDF's and reading in preview. Do Prizmo and ABBY scan better as 
sometimes my scans come out only partially which can be a pain when there is a 
phone number or account number you need. Thanks for letting us know.

Re: OCR: what does Abbyy offer that Prizmo does not?

2013-06-04 Thread Donna Goodin
Hi Alex

Well, one obvious advantage is that a BBY why is not cloud-based. Having a 
cloud based app is cool as long as you have a connection to the cloud. But 
Abbyy gives you the option to scan even if you don't.
Best,
Donna

Re: Need app to diagnose Macbook hardwares health

2013-06-04 Thread Chris Blouch

Had an error when I last sent this so trying again.

CB

That's a bit difficult as any testing stuff can only tell you if things 
are working right now, which gives you no indication whether things will 
keep working. Generally, if you get past the first 90 days with no 
failures you should be good to go for years. For me the most common 
failure then becomes the hard drive. You'll probably want to replaces 
that in the not too distant future as 160GB doesn't go as far as it used 
to. Another wall you might run into is memory upgrades. 2GB is kind of 
minimal these days and you should be able to bump up to 4GB, possibly 6 
depending on which model you have. Many folks have reported VO busy and 
other sluggish behavior going away with more RAM. One downside of buying 
something that's a getting up there in years is every so often Apple 
cuts off a swath of machines to OSX upgrades. My wife's Macbook 13" from 
May 2007 just missed the cutoff last time and is now stuck at OSX 10.7 
until it dies. So your laptop, with a few years under it's belt, will 
probably be in the next cutoff group, whenever that happens.

Notes app & Calendar events

2013-06-04 Thread Traci
Hi all,

A couple weeks ago, I mentioned I've been using the notes app as a food 
journal.  This has been working out great because it seamlessly syncs between 
mac & iDevices.

Now, I'm wondering if there is a way to import the note enteries into iCal.  
I've created a new iCloud calendar for food tracking, is there any clever way 
to send all that info over to the calendar?

Inside my notes app, I have a folder for the journal, then each note at the top 
has the date.  Any automator ideas or apple scripts?

I have the utility launch bar, but so far I haven't figured out a way to send 
the information over to the calendar.

Thank you in advance,
Traci

Re: Notes app & Calendar events

2013-06-04 Thread Alex Hall
It might be possible - I know Calendar and Notes are both scriptable. Have a 
look in their respective script definition files for the exact notation, but I 
imagine your basic script would be structured like this:
set noteToImport to all notes in food folder of notes app
repeat with currentNote in notesToImport
tell Calendar to make new event with date (line 1 of current note) and notes 
(lines 2 through -1 of currentNote)
end repeat

That's not code, it's just an outline, but see what those definition files tell 
you and maybe you can hack one together from there. Let me know if you have 
questions; I'm still learning Applescript myself, but am getting rather good at 
it.

Re: OCR: what does Abbyy offer that Prizmo does not?

2013-06-04 Thread Alex Hall
I don't know if Prizmo on Mac uses cloud-based OCR or not. I know the iPhone 
app does, but I think the full Mac app is local. I could be wrong, and I could 
find nothing online to confirm one way or the other. So you're saying Prizmo is 
cloud-based for OCR? That's a bit of a disappointment.

Re: OCR: what does Abbyy offer that Prizmo does not?

2013-06-04 Thread Eugenia Firth
I have both on my computer. The only thing that causes me trouble, and this 
just may be me, and I haven't figured out a solution yet, is that when I 
scanned in something with ViewScan, I don't get immediate feedback. That is, I 
have to go to Abby Fine reader, call up the file, and see how my skin came out. 
I can see that if you were doing a book, if one of the pages was wrong or 
miscarriage and, I might have a problem telling if I had a good scanner not 
until I called up the main file. What is the solution to that?

next question, calendar alert i phone

Ok, the download sound thing was easy and thanks.  In some ways this mac 
adventure is easier than Windows.  Things either are or are not.

Now in my i phone I have a calendar alert set so it should go off just before a 
calendar event is to take place.  However, the alert sound is not sounding.  
Something in the settings to fix I presume?

Apple TV and Speakers Question

2013-06-04 Thread Brian Fischler
Hey all,

Can anyone suggest a good pair of speakers to go with Apple TV that won't break 
the bank. I am looking to get Apple TV primarily to connect to my mac and 
iPhone and want to be able to play music, podcasts, and Blind Mice movies over 
it. Not sure if I even need the Apple TV, as I am looking to put a pair of 
speakers in the bedroom, so is there a pair that can connect to my computer 
through bluetooth or over my home network, and can Apple TV work without  aTV. 
I have read that netflix won't play content without a tv, and am thinking about 
trying it without a tv, or maybe adding the cheapest TV I can find since I 
can't see the picture. Thanks for the suggestions in advance.

Re: Sorta off-topic, but maybe not: Station playlist studio in a virtual machine

2013-06-04 Thread Jonathan Mosen
Hi Krister, yes I'm doing this usually more than weekly on Mushroom FM.

Audio isn't the best with Fusion, but it works OK with my Edirol UA1-EX as my 
studio sound card connected to my mixer and a cheap USB sound card for JAWS. I 
sometimes find that this second sound card will cut out, and I have to go into 
the virtual machine menu and disconnect and reconnect.

I'm using a mixer, but if you are not, the configuration is actually far 
simpler. Remember that in this case, all the audio you play is going through 
Studio's audio pipeline, so listeners aren't affected. In terms of hearing 
yourself echoing back, this is an issue with the default configuration of 
Studio no matter which computer or configuration you use, although I agree, 
latency is a bit more pronounced in Fusion. My recommendation is that you 
simply switch off hearing yourself coming back in the headset. Even on a fast 
system there is still latency, and while some people have become used to it, I 
find it slows down my speech and is distracting. Go to Studio's options and set 
your monitor device to the headset, then configure toggle monitor to on under 
microphone input. If you really do like to hear yourself echoing back, then 
there's no doubt Bootcamp would reduce the latency. I read a very interesting 
article by Brian Smart who described how to reduce audio latency in Fusion, but 
when I followed his steps, I broke things majorly. Thank goodness for snapshots.

I will be doing a series of webinars on topics like this soon.

Re: Apple TV and Speakers Question

2013-06-04 Thread AZ

Hi.
To use Apple-TV you have to buy some speakers with an optical input. a 
year ago I purchased Edifier S530 D 2.1. Obtain this and be glad for the 
rest of your life and sometimes bring some joy to your neighbours.

Hey all,

Can anyone suggest a good pair of speakers to go with Apple TV that won't break 
the bank. I am looking to get Apple TV primarily to connect to my mac and 
iPhone and want to be able to play music, podcasts, and Blind Mice movies over 
it. Not sure if I even need the Apple TV, as I am looking to put a pair of 
speakers in the bedroom, so is there a pair that can connect to my computer 
through bluetooth or over my home network, and can Apple TV work without  aTV. 
I have read that netflix won't play content without a tv, and am thinking about 
trying it without a tv, or maybe adding the cheapest TV I can find since I 
can't see the picture. Thanks for the suggestions in advance.

Good Day: 

I am talking about Prismo. Admittedly, as I have stated before, I 
didn't do too much with it, and I only used the Mac app, but when I, for

Abby Fine Reader gave a better result. I am considering trying the iPhone 
version of Prismo, but that is my opinion at present.

10.8.4 is here

2013-06-04 Thread Alex Hall
Hi all,
I just read that 10.8.4 dropped today. The feature list still includes the 
Voiceover improvements to text in pdf documents we talked about a few days ago, 
so go get the update and see if pdfs really do read better. I'm about to 
update; hopefully they tossed a few other fixes for vo into the mix.


Have a great day,

Be ware of updating.  My experience with the preview was that vo wouldn't read 
pdfs when Preview was in single page mode.  I haven't seen any indication that 
it has been fixed.

When I can, I want to install the latest OSX on the test partition I'm using, 
but for some reason the update isn't showing up in the updates list.

Well, I don't know what is going on.  When running my production partition, I 
have both the preview 10.8.4 and the update 10.8.4 in the updates list.
There is weirdness hear, so I'm not doing anything at the moment.  Especially 
not until I can test it first.

Re: 10.8.4 is here

2013-06-04 Thread John Panarese
Well, I can confirm the single page mode problem.  In single page mode, 
PDFs don't seem to be seen with VoiceOver.  However, in continuous mode, it's 
fine.  It seems that navigation is improved.  When you use the, go to page, 
command, it actually moves you.  Also, if you reopen Preview after you had been 
on a specific page, it seems to remember your location when you open it again.

   I don't notice anything in text edit or pages yet.

aligning text in Text Edit?

2013-06-04 Thread Alex Hall
Hi all,
I'm writing a template to use for client reports, and I'm using Text Edit. I 
also have iText Express, but I have not yet tried that. The problem is that, 
after I center my title, I can't seem to un-center anything else. That is, even 
after I hit cmd-left brace and vo says "align left checked", hitting vo-t on 
text that should not be centered reports it as centered. It seems as though the 
whole file is stuck in this "align center" mode and I can't work out how to 
un-center parts of it. Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: aligning text in Text Edit?

2013-06-04 Thread Eugenia Firth
Yes, I think I have an idea here. Whenever I want to change centering, italics, 
bold, etc., I put a space after the text I am emphasizing. I'm not sure this is 
necessary, but I select that space and put it back into plain mode or whatever 
the next thing is I want to be in. I had this trouble with MS Word as well, and 
ever since I started doing this, I have not had trouble changing my text.

Re: 10.8.4 is here

2013-06-04 Thread Eugenia Firth
You know in Windows, pdf files, as far as I know, have to be accessible by the 
author. This is why IRS has two versions on their website, one that is for 
everybody else, and one under accessibility for us. This might be the factor. I 
haven't done it yet, but maybe you could go to the IRS web site and get both 
types of forms and see what happens.

Instead of using the commands on the keyboard, maybe it would work if you tried 
using the menu instead. I know that sounds weird, but maybe that will work.

I like File Manager; it is available in the App store of course and sells for

structure on the local device and you can create folders and import and export

Re: aligning text in Text Edit?

press vo-t, however, I'm not sure whom to believe here... Very odd.

Re: calendar alerts

2013-06-04 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi jean,

In Settings, Notifications, it should have a list of apps that are assigned to 
the Notification Centre as well as a group of those that are not.  Calendar 
should automatically be part of the group that are within the Notification 
Centre.  It will list beside it what it is set to, as in your case, it reads 
Banners and Badges.  You also want Alerts which is where the sounds come in.  
Double-tap on the Calendar item within the Notification Centre area and you'll 
get more options.  Just after the Alert Style Heading, VO should announce what 
the current Alert Style is.  Swipe up or down on this item to change its state, 
choose Alerts.  The other options are configurable as you move through the 
various settings.  Once Alerts is set, there should be an option further down 
that allows you to choose the Alert sound you wish to attach to the Calendar 
app.

HTH.

Re: how to move signatures from all to actual account

2013-06-04 Thread Ray Foret jr
Actually, that didn't work either.  I tried by interacting with the table, 
then, selecting all three signatures and then, using VO+cmd+space to pick up 
the items.  Then, I navigated to the actuall account table but could not drop 
the signatures in.

Re: a program that allows me to create new folders on the iphone and Ipad

2013-06-04 Thread Steve Holmes
I'm sorry. I meant to say "File Browser" and for me I found it at the top of 
the list of results. Be sure and check both iPhone or iPad. I don't remember if 
you have an iPhone or iPad. If iPhone, then search should be easy enough. 
Again, try File Browser. That is what what I'm using.

Re: Sorta off-topic, but maybe not: Station playlist studio in a virtual machine

2013-06-04 Thread Gavin Grundlingh
Hi Krister,

Are you, by any chance, using Windows XP in your virtual machine? I ask because 
the Soundblaster PCI card that Fusion uses for audio under XP has a 1 second 
recording buffer, which might explain why you're having such high latency. I 
had this problem when trying to test GWConnect under a virtual machine running 
XP. If you don't want to change the guest operating system just to get the 
driver that is used for Vista and later, you can always edit your virtual 
machine's configuration (.vmx) file to used the HD audio driver instead.

Regards,

Hello there,
Does anyone have experience using Station Playlist Studio for broadcasting 
using a virtual machine? The reason why i ask is that when i try using it, the 
sound can be choppy and worse, i get about a 1 second delay between me speaking 
and the sound coming back using a wireless Plantronics headset. Can i at all 
decrease the latency or do i have to use a Bootcamp partition to avoid this 
problem? How do you who broadcast from a virtual machine with Station Playlist 
studio do this? Thankful for any tips.

Problem with Lion Disk Maker

2013-06-04 Thread Daniel C
Hi,
Just a quick question.
Has anyone received error 10006 when making a Mountain Lion Boot Disk with Lion 
Disk Maker latest version?
the error states
can't set folder utilities of disk OS X Mountain Lion Install Disk. I used an 
8GB San Disk Cruiser thumb drive which I always have used for prior ML boot 
disk creations.
Any suggestions as to how to fix this? I've tried 4 times to create the disk 
but always with the same error.
The disk is formatted to mac extended journaled.
thanks.
