Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel
I too reckon you should just get the iMac. I love my iMac, and I can't even see the screen. When I did the calculations to decide the same question you're considering, it worked out to be cheaper and easier to just get an iMac rather than buying the Mac Mini, the keybaord, the TrackPad or Mouse, the monitor, the upgrades etcetera. The iMac is more powerful and I really like its extra power. I'd even recommend upgrading the RAM of your iMac to at least 16GB. I'd also read quite a few reports from people saying they had difficulty setting up the Mac Mini with a bluetooth keyboard. You need to press Command-F5 to get VoiceOver running, but the Mac Mini, from what I read, didn't come with the mouse or keyboard already set up. So it was kinda a catch 22 with needing VoiceOver to set up the keyboard, but needing the keyboard to set up VoiceOver. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: earpieces
HI Jean, How extensively have you used your Jabra Clear with your Mac now? Have you had any dificulties? Will you lose VoiceOver if you turn the Jabra Clear headset off and then on again, or if it runs out of batteries? When you first boot up your Mac and the OS loads, will VoiceOver default to your Jabra Clear headset?

A Look at ProTools Part 1 has been uploaded
Good morning, or evening everyone, depending on where you're located. In the past, there has been a lot of discussion both on and off list about the accessibility and use of ProTools from an accessibility standpoint with Voiceover. I've been asked to appear on certain podcasts and then due to things that were completely out of my control, I was unable to participate in those submitions. This is going to be going out to a lot of places. I'm hoping to put this link out on my Twitter, as well as my Facebook, @gilland_chris http://www.facebook.com/christopher.gilland As well as my own personal podcast: http://www.clgpodcast.net This furthermore is in the process of being approved for an Applevis submition. I plan to make this series as in depth as I possibly can make it, and as thorough as I can possibly make it as well. We'll be talking about the use of ProTools, how to interact with the application using Voiceover, certain work arounds to things that might not be the most accessibly intuitive, as well as we'll also be learning about some crucially important sound production techniques/skills that you must be able to master in order to have the most optymal benefit from ProTools. This is really big guys, as I know a lot of you all have wanted me to do this for quite some time, and now, I'm finally getting the time to do so. Here's what I am going to say as far as other podcast interviews. Let's wait, and let me get this whole series finished and out to you guys, and then once I've finished up the series, if at that point, you want to interview me, we'll talk. I'm doing it this way, so that you'll up front have a working idea of my knowledge, as well as my style in how I present things. So all this being said, here is the link to Part 1. This recording runs just over half an hour. I can't promise you that all the recordings are going to be this short, but this one will be. Let's get some feedback. If you all want me to continue the series after hearing this, I'd be more than happy to! I will admit that Kevin Reeves who is in the blind community has done an absolutely fantastic! couple of mp3 files which are quite in depth, however some people have said that they didn't really like his style. I don't really know why that is, as I personally thought it was brilliant! but, whatever. Each is to their own. The other thing is, he only did maybe about 3 files all total. What I! plan to do, is make this into a continuing series, and really get very serious about really showing you all the true power of this software. I'm not only gonna cover the basics, but hopefully, over time, as the recordings progress, and we build off what you already know, we can actually begin to dive into more advanced parts of the program. You all are gonna be a huge factor in what things I show you in these files. A lot of it will be crutial that I show you, but if there is anything specific that you want for me to show, please let me know, and I'll see what I can do. OK. So, here we go! Here's the link for part 1. http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/wfvhz7 You guys let me know what you think, and we'll go from there.

Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel
Yes, I think your right. through lots of conversations with various people and messages from this list, I have decided to go with the base imac and since someone mentioned the upgrade to mavrick might be twenty or thirty dollars or even maybe free, I think I can't go wrong. From the messages I've received from this list I've determined that parralel is out and fusion or bootcamp is the way to go. As I said in a previous message I'm still not 100% confident to let go of windows, so I do half to make the desition of either or. I am so unfamiliar with mac that I don't even know the terminology and listening to different messages I find my self wondering where the command button is and doesn't voiceover start automatically etc. On the other hand I think if I'm patient all these simple little questions will be answered in time. The question I have now that I forgot to ask in my original post is this, Since I'll be running windows on this mac will I still be able to install jaws for the windows portion of the computer, and does it matter which I have chosen bootcamp or fusion? - Original Message - From: "Nicholas Parsons" To: Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2013 5:57 AM Subject: Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel I too reckon you should just get the iMac.

Very close with VM Fusion, but have a few more questions
Hi. I was able to get Windows 7 working under a VM window, using my bootcamp drive. But I have a few more questions. First, what do I need to do to be able to alt tab through my Win 7 windows? Second, when I do leave the Win 7 window and turn VO back on and do a bit with the Mac, when I return to VM I have a devil of a time getting back into Win 7. Sometimes pressing windows/option tab a few times will get me there, but more frequently I have to go to the VM virtual machine menu and press the restart option. Guessing I am doing something wrong here. Any help appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel
Yes, you can install JAWS or any other screen reader on the Windows part of your Mac. It doesn't matter whether it's running as a duel installation (i.e. bootcamp) or as a virtual machine (e.g. VM Fusion). I am curious if any of these people who keep saying parallels is inaccessible have actually tried using it lately, or whether they are just passing along old hearsay that might now be obselete. I think Alex at least mentioned that he hadn't used it lately and things might have changed. I was told fairly recently that Parallels was accessible with JAWS, but that there was some problem with the JAWS key which is typically the insert key by default. I've never tried installing Windows on my Mac in any form though so I don't know. I'm just worried though that this might be one of those accessibility rumours that gets propogated longer than it should because of course no one tests the thing anymore because they are told it's not accessible. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel
Personally, I prefer using the MS Office suite with JAWS. I don't think anything comes close to the accessibility of jaws and MS word/Excel.

I Plan, like alot of others, to get VMWare fusion running so I can have easy access to JAWS and Word/excel, while still having the MAC at hand The Apple iWork suite just isn't in the same league as Microsoft productivity packages, at least not for the blind - and I don't think anyone would seriously dispute that. . - Original Message - From: Rebecca Sabo To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2013 9:52 AM Subject: Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel Hi all, My name is Becky Sabo.

Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel
Oh thanks so much, good to know I won't have problems with jaws. As I said the man at the apple store actually suggested parallel but if fusion does the trick and most people seem to like it I guess maybe that's the way to go especially if I'm going to be asking for advice on the use of the program. The man at the store thought parallel was a better choice but didn't state the reasons why. Don't mean to be repetative but can apple configure voiceover for me when shipping the imac to me to start up automatically? Also if using fusion will voiceover speak on the log screen to help me navigate weather I want to boot mac or windows? - Original Message - From: "Nicholas Parsons" To: Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2013 10:51 AM Subject: Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel Yes, you can install JAWS or any other screen reader on the Windows part of your Mac.

Re: iTunes match
Hmmm. I've only did the Gift Certificate thing once or twice and don't remember exactly how long it took for the recipient to receive it. I thought that it was more or less instantaneous other than if you were specific about when it was to be sent. The iTunes Store should send you a receipt for the gift too.

Re: iTunes match question
Hi, When you delete songs from your local machine, a dialog will appear asking you if you wish to remove it from only the local machine or from iCloud as well. So, essentially, you can play all items that are in iTunes Match from the Cloud if you wish. You'd just be using up data in the streaming process. In most cases, though, the amount of data you'd use up is minimal. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On 2013-06-16, at 12:49 PM, Donna Goodin wrote: > Hi all, > > Just a quick question.

how long should Prizmo take to scan?
Hi all, I'm trying Prizmo again, now that I replaced my scanner with one that works. However, it takes around three or four minutes to scan one page, yet making a photocopy with the same printer/scanner takes no time at all. Is the scanning process different, or is Prizmo just slow? If the latter, is there a setting I could try changing or is it meant to be that way? Thanks for any help.

VMWare Fusion for $15 (plus shipping)
Hi all, Fusion is normally $50 i believe, but Dell has a DVD of the program for only $15!

Strange Issue with VMWare Fusion/Sharing Virtual Machine between OSX User Accounts
Hello, In brief, the situation is as follows: Two different accounts for OSX and Windows both, one for personal and one for work, to keep things nicely separated. Tried to share the VM between both OSX user accounts by placing the VM in /users/shared, and now Sharpkeys mapping for right option to capslock/insert is no longer remembered, and even after reauthorizing JAWS, the authorization is not remembered on either Windows account and regardless of the OSX user logged in at the time. More detailed explanation follows in a numbered list if it is helpful. 1. I have two different OSX user accounts -- one for personal use and one for use at my work. 2. I want to share my virtual machine between these two user accounts, so I followed instructions I found through a Google search which directed me to put the .vmwarevm file into /users/shared 3. Now, my JAWS authorization is not remembered, nor is the right option key acting as my insert key as I had set in Sharpkeys, although it does still function as the capslock key, for some strange reason. 4. Sharpkeys 3.5 does not appear to work non-visually, so I am unable to set the right option ke as my insert key again. 5. Not that this necessarily matters, as the VM will mirror files and folders of the current OSX user, but I had created two Windows accounts as well -- one for personal and one for work, just to sort of keep things similar. I think I am complicating things, to be sure, and I had heard that JAWS will think the authorization has been moved off the computer if the VM is moved, but why would nothing I originally have set be remembered, such as my insert key mapping through Sharpkeys? Also I did reauthorize JAWS last night, and it said it was successful, but it is not remembered anymore, no matter what OSX account or Windows account I am on. Sometimes I just hate JAWS and Windows both, but I need to take advantage of Microsoft Word and Excel.

contacts manager
Tim and All: I think I've got it! Maybe. Navigating on the right side of the screen is clearly one key. I was having trouble scrolling through the alphabet because if I didn't scroll in exactly a straight line I would end up somewhere else. Also, being able to choose the fields on the right side is very helpful. Now I think one more question will finish it. After I have entered something in a field in the add contacts thing, do I have to hit done after each field is filled in or can I go right to the next field? Thanks everyone for all your help with the various questions I have posed. This list has been a great place to continue learning. Thanks in no small amount to you guys, things are coming along much better. I still want a better contacts manager from the VO calendar people (just in case they monitor this list), but I can manage for now I suppose. I will definitely have further beginning questions but will contribute if I think I actually know something other people might find useful.

Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel
No, Refit is free and something you will add once you get your machine. Jaws can only read the Windows logon/lock screens, not the boot screen. When a computer first boots, no operating system has started yet, which is why no screen reader can possibly be loaded.

Re: Chess anyone?
Yes, setting "speak moves" to on is helpful. what I do is enable Quicknav, then interact with the board grid and set my navigation to rows. I can then left arrow to go left, up arrow to go up, and so on. I can also simply press up-down on a pice, move to where I want it to go, and press up-down again, letting me play with just one hand. I have not yet tried to play against other humans, only the computer.

Re: contacts manager
You don't need to hit "done" until you are happy with the contact details. That is, only hit "done" when you have filled in every piece of information you want, not after each edit field. Double tapping a field to edit it will stop editing the previous one, so you will not end up with multiple fields editing at once, if that is your concern.

Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel
Zoey, once the computer is running either in Mac or Windows, you can select the other OS from one of the utilities in MAC and also in Windows, then reboot. The computer will then reboot into the desired OS - that's how alot of people get around the problem of having no speech at boot time. The only other option is to memorize the order of icons on the boot screen, and then press the arrow keys the needed number of times to select the desired OS icon, then press enter. Once you know the order of icons, I guess that method would work fine, but I always select the OS from within Windows bootcamp utility, or from within MAC system preferences, then reboot. - Original Message - From: "Alex Hall" To: Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2013 5:50 PM Subject: Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel No, Refit is free and something you will add once you get your machine.

Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel
It is not a problem, we have all been there. With bootcamp, the drive is partitioned; with Fusion, it is not. I don't know why Apple charges that much - any halfway decent computer geek can partition a drive in two minutes. If you decide to go bootcamp, I'd just enlist the help of some local talent to get things up and running. You said you are near an Apple store - I bet they would help for free (no promises, but its worth a try). On Jun 16, 2013, at 6:21 PM, zoe wrote: > Oh ok got it now.

Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel

Re: A Look at ProTools Part 1 has been uploaded
Hi Chris: I for one am really looking forward to checking this out, especially since I never did manage to find any of Kevin's stuff. I've seen links that claim to be for it, but they go nowhere. I'm currently mostly using windows but am seriously considering switching to mac, right now I have a used macbook that can only run up to 10.6.8 to play with the mac and see how it will work for me. So it will be really nice to not only get a tutorial on protools, but hear somebody actually using it. Will you be posting further parts to the list, or your own site, or somewhere else? Or is it a four part thing? Anyway, like I said, sounds really interesting, and I'm glad you did it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

earpieces
Hi Nick: I have not used it with the mac that extensively so I don't know if I can answer your questions. I have mostly used it with my i phone. I have only begun experimenting with sound input and output in system preferences. I know that I turn on bluetooth and connect the earpiece it connects right away. That is the receiving part. I do know that you have to go to system preferences to select the correct input in order to enable the microphone. Otherwise it defaults to the computer built-in mic. There doesn't appear to be a setting to automatically select the earpiece mic by default when bluetooth is turned on and the earpiece is activated. If you have further specific questions I can experiment as directed and report results. Jean -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel
zoey, Bootcamp is set up by a program on the MAC called bootcamp assistant. That program partitions the drive for you and starts the installation process of Windows. That is, it partitions the drive then asks you to put the windows disk in the CD drive, then reboots and begins the Windows installation processIt also lets you download and burn the bootcamp drivers onto a CD which you'll need after installing windows. These bootcamp drivers let windows access the mac hardware etc. From the reboot onward, you need sighted assistance to go through the windows install screens, install the bootcamp drivers, and finally, get a screen reader loaded into windows so you can take over from there. I had a semi-computer literate friend sit here and read the screens to me as we installed Windows - that's all - no need for high-priced tech assistance. Or, With fusion, you can just install windows into a VMWare Virtual machine which is just a big file on the MAC file system - its not a separate partition on the HD. As I understand it, installing windows into a virtual machine in VMWare is accessible with VoiceOver. Thirdly, from within VMWare Fusion, you can import a previously installed bootcamp partition into fusion and run it like any other virtual machine, or just run the bootcamp partition version of windows without even importing it into fusion. So, there's three different options 1) have a dual boot system, called bootcamping, that requires rebooting to go from one OS to the other. 2) create a windows virtual machine in fusion which doesn't require partitioning the HD, and can be done without sighted assistance. or, 3) Either run, or import and run an existing bootcamp partition from fusion . I'm not real sure about the difference between simply running a bootcamp vs importing and running it from within Fusion, there's not much difference I don't think. - Original Message - From: "zoe" To: Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2013 6:21 PM Subject: Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel Oh ok got it now.

Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel
I don't recall if the iMacs still come with disk drives or not. If they don't, you will have a few extra steps to get bootcamp working using a thumb drive, or you can buy a USB disk drive and plug that in instead. I installed Bootcamp from a thumb drive, but I had a lot of sighted help. It sounds like you are leaning toward Fusion, though, and I have to say I think you'll be happier with that in the long run. It will be frustrating at first, but once you know its quirks, you should be okay.

Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel
Imacs do come with hard drives, or you can get the fusion drive or all flash storage, for a price, of course. What surprised me was that the iMac hard drive option is a 5400 rpm drive. †hat blew me away. I'd think they'd offer 7200 rpm. But the Apple store site clearly has it as a 5400 rpm, like laptops and the Mac mini.

Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel
On a side note, I read a recent article/review of the new iMacs, and the reviewer felt strongly that the 27 inch model was by far the better deal. And, yes, you'll now need an external CD drive (sold by Apple for around $80) as they took them off the iMacs to make the thinner profile. - Original Message - From: "Alex Hall" To: Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2013 10:21 PM Subject: Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel I don't recall if the iMacs still come with disk drives or not. If they don't, you will have a few extra steps to get bootcamp working using a thumb drive, or you can buy a USB disk drive and plug that in instead. I installed Bootcamp from a thumb drive, but I had a lot of sighted help. It sounds like you are leaning toward Fusion, though, and I have to say I think you'll be happier with that in the long run. It will be frustrating at first, but once you know its quirks, you should be okay.

I had a semi-computer literate friend sit here and read the screens to me as we installed Windows - that's all - no need for high-priced tech assistance. Or, With fusion, you can just install windows into a VMWare Virtual machine which is just a big file on the MAC file system - its not a separate partition on the HD. As I understand it, installing windows into a virtual machine in VMWare is accessible with VoiceOver. Thirdly, from within VMWare Fusion, you can import a previously installed bootcamp partition into fusion and run it like any other virtual machine, or just run the bootcamp partition version of windows without even importing it into fusion. So, there's three different options 1) have a dual boot system, called bootcamping, that requires rebooting to go from one OS to the other. 2) create a windows virtual machine in fusion which doesn't require partitioning the HD, and can be done without sighted assistance. or, 3) Either run, or import and run an existing bootcamp partition from fusion .

A Look at ProTools Part 6
OK guys, we have a lot of ground to cover here, so hold on to your hats! This is where we're going to really start getting into more navigation, and moving around within a session. Also, I'm gonna teach you the concept of markers, and how they are used, and more, why they are so incredible! We're also going to re-enforce the keystrokes that you already have learned. Let me outline them below for ya. Space bar/num pad 0 is your play/stop. Numpad 3 is record. F12 is record, provided you remap your dashboard to another key instead. Return, careful here! takes you to the beginning of the session. Option+Return takes you to the end of the session. I'll be teaching you in this recording what numpad enter does, but for now, just know it does something entirely different than the return key. Shift+R arms the currently selected track/tracks for recording. Shift+S solos and unsolos the currently selected track/tracks. Shift+M mutes and unmutes the currently selected track/tracks. OK. Here is the link to part 6. Let's keep going. http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/am2asj Chris. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: A Look at ProTools Part 1 has been uploaded
Hi, Chris. Thanks for posting these podcasts about learning ProTools using Voiceover. I listened to part 1 of Kevin Reeves tutorial on PT a couple weeks ago and it was excellent! The more I can learn about using PT the better. I'll listen to your first episode tomorrow. By the way, I listened to your song Crayons on the Floor a few weeks ago and it was very beautiful! The only processing I would edit out is some of the auto tune on the vocals. Katie - Original Message - From: "Chris Gilland" To: Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2013 3:50 AM Subject: A Look at ProTools Part 1 has been uploaded Good morning, or evening everyone, depending on where you're located. In the past, there has been a lot of discussion both on and off list about the accessibility and use of ProTools from an accessibility standpoint with Voiceover. I've been asked to appear on certain podcasts and then due to things that were completely out of my control, I was unable to participate in those submitions. This is going to be going out to a lot of places. I'm hoping to put this link out on my Twitter, as well as my Facebook, @gilland_chris http://www.facebook.com/christopher.gilland As well as my own personal podcast: http://www.clgpodcast.net This furthermore is in the process of being approved for an Applevis submition. I plan to make this series as in depth as I possibly can make it, and as thorough as I can possibly make it as well. We'll be talking about the use of ProTools, how to interact with the application using Voiceover, certain work arounds to things that might not be the most accessibly intuitive, as well as we'll also be learning about some crucially important sound production techniques/skills that you must be able to master in order to have the most optymal benefit from ProTools. This is really big guys, as I know a lot of you all have wanted me to do this for quite some time, and now, I'm finally getting the time to do so. Here's what I am going to say as far as other podcast interviews. Let's wait, and let me get this whole series finished and out to you guys, and then once I've finished up the series, if at that point, you want to interview me, we'll talk. I'm doing it this way, so that you'll up front have a working idea of my knowledge, as well as my style in how I present things. So all this being said, here is the link to Part 1. This recording runs just over half an hour. I can't promise you that all the recordings are going to be this short, but this one will be. Let's get some feedback. If you all want me to continue the series after hearing this, I'd be more than happy to! I will admit that Kevin Reeves who is in the blind community has done an absolutely fantastic! couple of mp3 files which are quite in depth, however some people have said that they didn't really like his style. I don't really know why that is, as I personally thought it was brilliant! but, whatever. Each is to their own. The other thing is, he only did maybe about 3 files all total. What I! plan to do, is make this into a continuing series, and really get very serious about really showing you all the true power of this software. I'm not only gonna cover the basics, but hopefully, over time, as the recordings progress, and we build off what you already know, we can actually begin to dive into more advanced parts of the program. You all are gonna be a huge factor in what things I show you in these files. A lot of it will be crutial that I show you, but if there is anything specific that you want for me to show, please let me know, and I'll see what I can do. OK. So, here we go! Here's the link for part 1. http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/wfvhz7 You guys let me know what you think, and we'll go from there.

Re: where do I fine accessible apps for the mack
Dear Becky, Unfortunately, AppleVis is the best there is. There is no comprehensive, authoratative source on accessible Mac apps. So, your best bet is to just search the Mac App Store for what you're interested in. Then, check on AppleVis to see if that app has been reviewed. If it hasn't, then you can decide to download the app and try it yourself, and possibly review it on AppleVis for the benefit of all. Otherwise, if you decide it's not worth the risk, you can look for another appp. YOu can always ask on this list too about the accesssibility of any particular app you're interested in.

Re: earpieces
Hi, Thanks for this. Can you please try connecting it and using it with VoiceOver, then turn the headset off and on again and see if VoiceOver still works?

Re: Fusion boot camp or parallel
Yes, the new iMacs do not, I repeat, do not, come with CD drives. Of course you can buy an external disc drive that will connect via USB. Apple sells them for around $80 but you can probably get them cheaper elsewhere. Also, just one note, while VM Fusion does have a lot of advantages over a duel boot system, the downside is, as I understand it, that you then have less power running that operating system. The quad core processors of the iMac should be able to handle this fairly well, but it might be another reason for upgrading the RAM. Particularly if you use any memory intensive applications. Otherwise, your computer is essentially running two operating systems at once and that, I'm guessing, is quite resource intensive. That said though, you might decide this is worth it for the simplicity of using the virtual machine (i.e. VM Fusion). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Turning Voice Over On
Ahh, yes, thanks, Tim. I overlooked that step. YOu're right, and for the person who started the thread you can turn the TrackPad Commander on by holding down the control and option keys together and rotating two fingers clockwise on the TrackPad. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
