how to scan double sided pages with epson wp4535/finereader express

[Anouk Radix]

Hi everyone,
I just bought a multifunctional printer/scanner/coppier (epson wp4535) mostly 
for scanning materials. It has adf and should also have auto scan doublesided 
pages (i can select this in the drivers when starting scan) but in finereader 
only one side of the page shows up.
I do get a warning that some app;ications dont support multipage scanning but i 
can choose to start scan anyway.
Greetings, Anouk,

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Anouk,

I don't think FineReader can do what you want, but VueScan can. In the Input 
tab of VueScan, you can set Autorepeat which should work for your scanner. If 
you set VueScan to produce TIFF files, then you can set all such files to 
always open with ABBYY FineReader.

In any case, you can try VueScan for free. It leaves a watermark on each 
scanned page, but at least you can find out for nothing whether it works for 
you.

Here's the link to download the DMg:




Cheers,

Anne

Reminder and Calendar Alerts (was: your opinions on what a reminders script should have)

[Nicholas Parsons]

HI Chris,

What if you try opening the window chooser while the Finder has focus? This 
usually works for me to get to the Reminder and Calendar alerts. It's odd that 
it doesn't work for you.

Re: Announcing the Beta of Talking Dashboard

[Nicholas Parsons]

Thanks, Alex! These are great. Just two issues to report, and one 
comment/feature request.
1. When I'm not connected to any wifi network the Say Wifi script outputs, "You 
are connected to at DbM". It would be great if you could make this instead say 
something like, "You are not currently connected to any wifi networks." You did 
this with the iTunes song info which is brilliant.
2. I'm also having issues with the RAM status. I've also got 16GB of RAM, and 
the script says I'm using 99.77% of a total of 4.73GB.
3. Re the sound script, it would be great if you could have the $isMuted 
keyword return "System sound is muted", if it is muted, else return "System 
sound is not muted." Also, I really hope you can get it to say the name of the 
output device – this would be fantastic.
Thanks again!
Nic

One more issue. The bluetooth script only ever seems to announce the name of 
one paired device, even though I have several paired. The device announced 
changes each time.

I believe I have fixed this. I can't get my mac to have wifi on but not connect 
to anything so can't test it, but the change *should* work. Please test it in 
the next release and let me know.

I fixed this yesterday; the updated scripts will be out soon.

I can add a few more keywords for muted status, like I did with bluetooth, so 
you can better customize your template. I did not do this before because I 
figured, if you heard sound, it was not muted, and if it was muted you would 
not hear the script's output anyway. I am still working on getting the names of 
the active input and output devices.

Re: Announcing the Beta of Talking Dashboard

[Alex Hall]

I only have one device I can pair (my iPhone refuses to pair) so I can't test 
this. However, I temporarily changed the script from reading only connected 
devices to reading all stored devices, and the list was read out as expected. 
Are you sure all your devices are paired and active? The script only reads out 
devices that are set to a status of "connected: yes" in the shell command I 
use, so if a device is set to "no", it is ignored.

Re: stopping applications from starting when Mac starts

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

In addition to the System Preferences option, one of two things is likely 
happening here:

1.  Press VO-d to get to your Dock, press VO-shift-m to bring up the Contextual 
menu, down to Options then over to check status.  One of the options there is 
"Open at Login".  If VO says that it is checked then simply press return on it 
and it will toggle off.  If it is not checked, then press Escape.

2.  The MacOS operates different than what many are used to in the Windows 
world.  When you close the last window in an app in Windows, it usually 
closes/quits the application as well.  In the MacOS, this is not the case.  
Closing windows simply does what it says, closes open windows.  You must Quit 
the app to remove it from memory.  So, when you press cmd-w to close a window 
in TextEdit, the window closes but the app remains open and if you navigate to 
another app TextEdit is out of your mind but still active within the Mac's 
mind.  As well, when you go to Shutdown or Restart your computer, normally a 
dialog will appear.  One of the items in that dialog is a checkbox that asks 
you if you want to re-open windows when you log back in.  If that is checked 
and you've left applications or windows open, they will open again upon startup.

HTH.

Later...

This makes me laugh.

[Kawal Gucukoglu]

I have to return something to Apple, and I wrote to the representative who is 
meant to be helping me. I got an out of office reply. What made me laugh was 
that here is a company selling their products and here are people using a 
windows environment! After all you get out of office replies when using 
outlook. I wonder if Windows was put on a Mac! haha!

Other mail systems use out of office replies.

It's a feature of most server based email systems, not just Outlook or 
Exchange.

 Hi there
 I have actually used three different ones so far. The first one I got from 
 AT&T, and it costed about $50. I found it unsatisfactory because it did 
 not charge up my iPhone all the way. The second one was a battery pack, 
 and I'm sorry to say I can't remember it's name. The third one I just 
 bought from the Apple store, and it so far seems to be the best one. It is 
 called the juice pack, but it is not the one that is the case for the 
 iPhone. The juice pack people make one that is the case for the iPhone, 
 and they also make another one that is a battery pack. When I went to the 
 Apple Store, They checked and estimated the amount of charge I would get 
 from this thing. He estimated that it would charge the iPhone twice before 
 it ran down. It has two ports on it to plug a device in to itself.

Yes, plus you can get Outlook for the Mac as you can get Office for Mac. And 
then there's Office/Outlook 365 which is their web/cloud based service. But I 
would be really surprised if Apple employees even used Microsoft software on 
the Mac. Surely they'd be using Apple Mail and iCloud out of office replies?

Recording vinyl records

[Georgina Joyce]

Hello All,


I wondered what apps you preferred to record vinyl records into .wav files? I 
am very familiar with making such recordings from the command line within a GNU 
Linux terminal.

Then I'm going to need to split the tracks. I don't intend upon using any of 
the clean up filters some people like to use. So what do you folks use, to copy 
long player records into a digital format?

In respect of the hardware. Would I gain by buying a USB sound interface? Or 
direct into the microphone socket of my Mac Mini, running ML.

Thanks.

Re: Announcing the Beta of Talking Dashboard

[Nicholas Parsons]

HI Alex,

Great to hear about the updated version to be coming out soon.

Re the mute status, you're absolutely right. I was stupidly imagining VoiceOver 
to somehow work when the system sound was muted, but I guess this isn't 
possible. In that case, forget what I said about the system mute.

Re the bluetooth devices, what's happening is this. I press option-b to run the 
script. It says, "Bluetooth is on. Paired devices: Apple Wireless Keyboard." I 
press it again, it says, "Bluetooth is on. Paired devices: Creative WP350 
Wireless Headset." I press it again and get, "Bluetooth is on. Paired devices: 
Nic's iPhone." Each time I press it I get one of these responses, in no 
particular or predictable order. After trying it now many times sometimes I 
even get the following response: "Bluetooth is on. Paired devices: none."

So it seems some of my devices must be connected, at least some of the time. I 
don't think the connection is cutting out constantly as I never seem to have 
the problem of losing connection when using any of these devices. And I don't 
think it's just coincidence that only ever one device is said to be paired at a 
time.

That's the best answer I can give you at this stage. Let me know if there's 
anything else I can test for you.

Nic

Re: Recording vinyl records

[Chris Blouch]

What is your source? It it just the RCA jack outputs of a phonograph or 
is there already a pre-amp in line before the computer? The original 
output from a phonograph is like a microphone output - very tiny and not 
very good sounding. You need a pre-amp which will boost that up to a 
line-level and apply the proper equalization. Back before the RIAA 
became the internet music piracy police they set up standards like how 
to re-EQ a phonograph output. So you can't record an LP without some box 
to do this. You could go with an Art DJ Pre for about $50:


http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/DeeJayPre

or go a little higher end to have one that includes USB audio out like 
this one:


http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/USBPhonoPPS

Of course some folks skip all this and just get a phono player with USB 
output for about $100


http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PT01USB

But if you already have a nice turntable then I'd go with one of the 
preamps. The Mac itself only has line inputs, not mic inputs. I think 
it's a good thing because getting a mic preamp right is a non-trivial 
bit of hardware and everybody has their favorite. So leave that to the 
likes of Mackie. In short, you can't just plug your turntable into your 
Mac and record it. Not only is the signal too weak but in needs the RIAA 
EQ applied to sound good.


Once you do have it set up you can record with whatever you like. Some 
like Garageband but if you're ok with terminal stuff you can do it all 
by installing MacPorts and then getting the Sox package.

Re: first time using time machine

[Chris Blouch]

Just to be clear, you must dedicate a drive or partition to Time 
Machine. It will take over whatever you give it and keep archiving until 
it uses up all available space on that drive or partition. Once it runs 
out of space it will prune the oldest backups first. As Tim points out, 
if you start putting other stuff on or taking stuff off the Time Machine 
storage space yourself it can cause Time Machine to get confused and 
stop working.

Hi,

In order for Time Machine to work, the external HD must be formatted 
MacOS Extended Journaled.  You should have either an HD dedicated to 
these backups or a partition on the HD dedicated to the Time Machine 
backup.  There should be about twice as much space available on the 
backup drive as space on your internal HD.  Time Machine does backups 
on this HD and will get rid of older portions of backups as the drive 
gets full.  If there are other things on the drive besides the Time 
Machine backup, it cannot do this properly and thus when it gets full, 
your backups will just stop happening.


HTH.

Re: finding the bit rate of an mp3 file on the mac

[Chris Blouch]

When in the Finder, doing a Get Info (command-I) on an mp3 file will 
give you all kinds of details but some of it is hidden behind a "More 
Info" collapsed disclosure triangle. If you expand that with the space 
bar then VO-right you'll find a bunch of stuff including the sample rate 
and duration.


If you're into the terminal thing the sox package can also get info 
using the "soxi name_of_your_file.mp3" command which will spit out 
everything you might want to know about a file. It can also handle 
batches so if I do "soxi *.mp3" in a particular folder it will display 
all the info about all the files and the very last line will be the 
total playing time and a file count.


CB

Hi,

You're on the right track.  When in the Get Info window, make sure

want.  It will start by saying the Kind of file that it is, mp3, AAC 
and so on.  The Bit Rate and more will be announced there as well.

Re: Mail Sluggish when Loading

Were you closing the App each time (command-Q) or just the mail window, 
leaving mail running for a long long time? Doing command-Q should leave 
no running process to kill as you did with activity monitor.

Re: Announcing the Beta of Talking Dashboard

[Alex Hall]

I added the extra keyword to the mute script anyway. If nothing else, 
deaf-blind users, or those using braille, might find it helpful to know if 
sound is coming from their machines or not, so customizing the template would 
be useful.

As for bluetooth, that's incredibly odd. I'm not happy with the way I currently 
get the device list, but it's the best thing I could come up with. Let's try 
something: open the terminal, and run these two commands:

cd ~
system_profiler SPBluetoothDataType >bt_info.txt

Once that runs, you will have a new text file called bt_info.txt in your home 
folder. Send me that file off-list - its content is what gives me the device 
list, so maybe I can see what's going on. Thanks!

Re: finding the bit rate of an mp3 file on the mac

[Chris Blouch]

There are two part. First, you need to get Terminal itself running. 
Terminal is in your utilities folder which you can get to quickly from 
the Finder by hitting Command-Option-U and typing T should jump you to 
terminal (unless you have a bunch of utilities that all start with T). 
Then you can just hit command-O to open it.


The second part is to install Mac Ports. Instructions are here:

http://www.macports.org/install.php

You'll need to install Apple's xcode first and then you can install 
Macports.


With Macports installed you can now choose from a huge number of 
available unix packages which have been ported to the Mac. I set mine up 
ages ago so I don't recall the exact setup but I don't think required 
much more than downloading the installer for my flavor of OSX and 
running that. Then I can do the rest from terminal. First I usually do a


sudo port selfupdate

which updates it's internal database of available ports and versions. 
Then I do


sudo port upgrade outdated

which grabs any updates for anything I have installed in macports. To 
install something like sox I would do


sudo port install sox

which will fetch and install sox along with any other things sox depends on.

When in the Finder, doing a Get Info (command-I) on an mp3 file will

sample rate and duration.


If you're into the terminal thing the sox package can also get info 
using the "soxi name_of_your_file.mp3" command which will spit out 
everything you might want to know about a file. It can also handle 
batches so if I do "soxi *.mp3" in a particular folder it will 
display all the info about all the files and the very last line will 
be the total playing time and a file count.

Hi,

You're on the right track.  When in the Get Info window, make sure 
you're on the Summary tab.  Navigate right, the first item after the 
tabs should be the Title of the mp3 file, the next item is the one 
you want.  It will start by saying the Kind of file that it is, mp3, 
AAC and so on.  The Bit Rate and more will be announced there as well.

Another trick is to create a new clean account, log out of your current

If not then it's something with the account. Maybe there is a corrupt

first time using time machine

Ok this helps a lot.  So to be clear, I can partition my drive for time 
machine.  Then once it is backed up I can use the rest of the drive as usual?  
In other words, time machine doesn't prohibit me from backing up and retrieving

Help with DNS settings please!

[Mike]

Hi everyone, 
I need help with fixing a broken website. 
My domain name is registered through Wordpress.com but self hosted at dream 
host. 
Well apparently my automatic renewal of the domain name wasn't set up after all 
and it expired last night. 
I've since renewed it but when the url is visited it takes me back to the old 
Wordpress blog I was using originally not the self hosted site. 
I am guessing that the dns settings pointing the domain name to dream host 
broke when the domain expired and now I don't know how to fix it. 
I refreshed the domain on dream host but it hasn't helped. 
Can anyone give me some other things to try here? I am lost now. 
Feel free to email me off list. 
Skype or facetime are options too it they're needed. 
Thanks for any help.

Re: battery packs

[Neil Barnfather - TalkNav]

Jean,

The Anker 5600 Astro Mobile that I bought is apx 0.8 x 1.4 x 4 inches give or 
take and weighs no more than the iPhone itself, I'd guess less.

I bought from Amazon in the UK, which lists Anker Direct as the seller 
fulfilled by Amazon. The recommended list price is £50 but it costs just £20 on 
Amazon, that's about US$30 or so.

bargain.

I've tried copying and pasting. Nothing.
I've tried clicking and dragging with VO. Nothing (Does this work for anyone,

I've tried just closing out the window once the character is selected, and 
nothing appears in my mail message.

Any help right away would be appreciated.

Re: first time using time machine

[Tim Kilburn]

Yes, sort of.  If you wish to use your drive for other backup purposes as well, 
then you should have two or more partitions on the drive.  One for Time Machine 
backup purposes and the other can be for other backups of whatever you wish.  
The problem with putting other files on the same partition as the Time Machine 
backup is that Time Machine will not properly clear up things when it needs 
more backup space.

Hope this makes sense.

Re: finding the bit rate of an mp3 file on the mac

[shane christenson]

Hi Chris. I did everything you suggested in getting Xcode and macports, and got 
them installed The only thing i did differently, was install x ports, with is 
supposed to be the new x11. When I tried to do the 

sudo port upgrade outdated

I got some sort of error message I can't remember right now. When I did the 
self update, everything seemed to go smoothly. Any ideas? Thanks again.

 Hi,
 
 You're on the right track.  When in the Get Info window, make sure you're 
 on the Summary tab.  Navigate right, the first item after the tabs should 
 be the Title of the mp3 file, the next item is the one you want.  It will 
 start by saying the Kind of file that it is, mp3, AAC and so on.  The Bit 
 Rate and more will be announced there as well.
 
 Later...

Re: Help with DNS settings please!

[Scott Berry]

You should allow up to 72 hours and see what happens then.  Remember 
this has to go world wide.

Hi everyone,
I need help with fixing a broken website.
My domain name is registered through Wordpress.com but self hosted at dream 
host.
Well apparently my automatic renewal of the domain name wasn't set up after all 
and it expired last night.
I've since renewed it but when the url is visited it takes me back to the old 
Wordpress blog I was using originally not the self hosted site.
I am guessing that the dns settings pointing the domain name to dream host 
broke when the domain expired and now I don't know how to fix it.
I refreshed the domain on dream host but it hasn't helped.
Can anyone give me some other things to try here? I am lost now.
Feel free to email me off list.
Skype or facetime are options too it they're needed.
Thanks for any help.





Mike

notes not syncing

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all,

Ok, I'm feeling so frustrated.  :)

For some reason, in just the last couple days, my notes are not syncing.  I was 
occasionally getting this error on my iPhone about my gMail account user name 
or password being incorrect.  Well, this was not true, but somehow I was locked 
out of my account.  So I went to the gmail accounts page to unlock it.  I 
successfully did this, and things worked fine for a day, but then this morning 
I noticed the notes I edited on my Touch weren't matching up with my Mac & 
iPhone.

I did the unlock thing again, but nothing has changed.  I've created and edited 
notes on my Mac, but they are not showing up on my iDevices?

Any suggestions here.  The notes app have been working out pretty well as a 
daily food journal, but not right now.  Lol!

Thank you,
Traci

Re: 2 extremely frustrating problems - please help

[Rahul Bajaj]

Hi Tim,

I did exactly what you instructed me to do, but that also doesn't seem to work.

If there's an actual electronic  issue with the keyboard, then
shouldn't the key appear  damaged/broken/stiff, etc.
The funny thing is that the option  key is otherwise working perfectly normally.

Vmware Fusion Advice Requested

[Les Kriegler]

I ordered and just received a copy of Windows 8 System Builder which I 
understand I need for a successful installation of Windows with Fusion.  I also 
ordered Fusion version 5 from Dell, but was notified that there has been a 
delay and I may not receive this software until July 11.  I have Fusion version 
4 which I could install.  I'm wondering if I should wait for version 5 and then 
do the install followed by the installation of Windows 8?  My inclination is to 
wait even though I'm anxious to set up Windows on our iMac.  Thanks for 
suggestions on whether to wait or go ahead with an older version of Fusion.

Les
