date:20130726


Good morning everyone.
My Macbook Pro 13 inch non-retina is coming up to a year next month. 
Should I consider getting Apple Care for this product? As in, should I 
sign up now or is it too late? Someone said one can sign up to Apple 
Care at least a year after they purchased their Mac computer. Is this true?

Any responses greatly appreciated. Thanks!

math ml in safari?

2013-07-26 Thread Yuma Antoine Decaux

Hi All,

I'm currently working with a phd student to get math ml converted properly from 
latex source files to math ml files. We noticed that safari doesn't read math 
ml symbols, unlike firefox which does it out of the box.

I was wondering if there was a plugin to install for this to function in safari.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Yuma

Re: Apple Care


AppleCare is always a good idea.

It protects your computer from machine failure  for a total of 3 years. If 
something in the device fails the store will repair or replace it in that 3 
years.  Hard drives crash, batteries wear out.


It's worth it.

Re: Apple one-on-one training

It's actually called a "One to One" membership, and it's worth it.

First, your store may not have a wealth of Voice Over experience, but you 
and the store creative staff will benefit from the interactions. You learn 
about your Apple products, and they gain experience in learning more about 
the software included in their products.

Additionally, you can renew your One to One membership twice after the 
initial year.

Update on Apple Care


Hello Everyone.
Just an update.
Thanks to your advice, I have signed up to Apple Care for my Mcbook Pro 
13 Inch.
I went for the plan that covers Macbook Air and 13 Inch Macbook Pro. 
Well that's what the store says anyway.

Cost was £199 including Vat and delivery is free.
I will get in the box some paperwork.
But what surprises me is that in theory, anybody with an Apple Id can 
sign up to Apple Care, because Apple does not validate your order by 
checking a product's serial number. Nowhere in the order process was I 
asked for my Macbook Pro's serial number. I therefore would hate 
customers to purchase Apple Care, only to find out it's not valid as 
they bought it 1 year from the original purchase date for example. 
That's like £200 gone down the drain!
I know mine will be accepted, but thought I would point this out for 
potential customers on here.

With kind regards Chris.

Re: Update on Apple Care

I have always had Apple care with all my products, and have only used it once 
when my head phones went wrong just before I sold my I phone 4 S. When the next 
I phone comes out, and it has more storage and scanner, I will then sell my I 
phone 5 which will have Apple care on it for anyone who purchases it and it 
will be unlocked. So if anyone is going to be in the market for an unlocked I 
phone in the near future may want to bear that in mind. This sounds like that I 
am trying to sell my I phone already although I'm talking about Apple care! 
Apple care is cheaper if you buy at the time of purchasing a product as you can 
only do it before the 30 days are up if memory serves, or am I wrong?

Kawal.

Re: Apple Care

I don't think you can get it past thirty days, though. That is, if you don't 
purchase it within thirty days of the purchase date of your machine, you're out 
of luck. Of course, Apple is the final authority on this, so give them a call 
and check. Personally, I take my chances with iOS devices and my Mac Mini 
(since it never leaves the house), but if I ever get an Apple laptop, Apple 
Care is the first thing I'm signing up for.

Re: Apple one-on-one training

I don't know, it sounds like you'd be paying Apple to train them, not you, in 
Voiceover, Yes, the training would be beneficial, but it seems like you should 
be able to offer it for free, or even a small fee paid to you, not from you, 
since you are providing them a service.

Re: Apple Care

The Apple Store website claims that so long as you purchase Apple Care 
within 12 months of the original purchase date then you are entitled to 
receive it.

Re: Apple one-on-one training

Well, they know more about their hardware and software, and much of what 
Apple offers is beyond price.

Additionally, if you had someone come to your house to teach you how to use 
your computer, that would cost you $75 an hour, instead of the $99 a year to 
Apple.

It's a bargain.

Re: Apple Care

That's very odd. When my mother got her iPhone, I was on the phone with Apple 
about 29 days later and the asked if I wanted Apple Care. They said that, if I 
did, I would have to purchase it within a day or I would be ineligible, and 
subsequent conversations with Apple Support have reinforced that rule. I don't 
doubt you, I just wonder why employees would say something so different? 
Perhaps the price goes up after thirty days?

Re: Apple Care

Just to also say that you can only get Apple care if you purchase it from the 
country that you are in. What I'm trying to say is that i purchased my MacBook 
Pro from the US, I could not purchase Apple Care until I returned to the UK as 
I wanted to purchase it there and then when I bought my first Mac Book Pro.

Maybe it's different in the UK, but here in the US if you call AppleCare they

Re: Apple one-on-one training

2013-07-26 Thread Eugenia Firth

Hi there
I had a very good experience With one-to-one training. It is always beneficial 
I have found to make sure to put into the computer that you are working with 
voiceover when you set up your appointments. In fact, I always boldface that 
word. Also, I make sure to give the store about a week in advance notice before 
I go. That way, they have plenty of time to think about that.

Gigi

Re: Update on Apple Care

2013-07-26 Thread ppowells09

Hi folks,
When I got my 4S, I was told about 2 different apple care plans. for $99 I 
could get Apple care that would cover one accidental replacement if it were 
dropped in water. They needed to see the phone within 30 days of purchase to 
make sure it was in good working order. The other plan cost $69 & covered phone 
support as we all have become accustomed to. For that plan, I had 1 year from 
date of purchase to pay for it.
Hope this helps.

I think I'm in agreement with you Alex. There's probably enough
resources between these lists and my fertile little brain to learn and
do what I need to do;-)
It'd be a definite luxury to spend $100 for something I might/might
not need. On the other hand, it might be worthwhile to pick apples
brains on certain accessibility topics, and It might keep me busy
during the winter months - I'm going to have to think about it a bit.

Re: Apple one-on-one training

2013-07-26 Thread ppowells09

Hi,
I did pay for the $99 one on one training when I bought my mac, as I was new to 
the Mac OS. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't pay for it.None of this 
has anything to do with the staff or their knowledge as it does with the 
inordinate noise in the store making it almost impossible to hear voiceover. 
The store needs a quiet office where one can get the most out of the training 
or they need to make use of face time in order to give everyone an optimum 
experience.

Re: Update on Apple Care

Ar I see. So once I get the Apple Care paperwork, I can then go and

Apple Care?" next to it, so didn't bother trying it.

Thanks to your advice, I have signed up to Apple Care for my Mcbook Pro 13 Inch.
I went for the plan that covers Macbook Air and 13 Inch Macbook Pro. Well 
that's what the store says anyway.
Cost was £199 including Vat and delivery is free.
I will get in the box some paperwork.
But what surprises me is that in theory, anybody with an Apple Id can sign up

I know mine will be accepted, but thought I would point this out for potential

transferring content from old to new Mac?

Hi all,

I'm excited to say I'm the proud owner of one of the new MBAs.  Trying to 
figure out the best way to transfer my content to the new Mac.  I want to 
transfer from a time-machine backup.  Can I do this in Time Machine without 
going into Migration Assistant?  If so, can someone give me some general steps?
TIA,

Re: Apple one-on-one training

2013-07-26 Thread Georgina Joyce

Hello,

Well I accept that stores are noisy. But Apple here in the UK have done 
everything to make it easier for me. The trainer and I have a set of headphones 
each that are connected via a splitter. All provided by Apple, although, I like 
to take my own headphones. They turn off the music and attempt to find the 
quietest area of the store. They have encouraged me to give feedback. They give 
me extra time too. Because I have some travelling, my sessions are for 2 hours. 
Yes the noise of the store is a problem. So is dealing with your personal email 
in store but they were willing to set up a practice mail account, had I wanted.

I have had about 20 sessions and I feel it is great value. Even if I buy a new 
product in the future. I think I would buy 1 to 1 because I'd learn about the 
new features of the new operating system. I look forward to getting IOS 7 and 
Mavericks training as it is still within my year's membership. It's great value 
and the only way you can bring about improvements is to be in on the inside. 
Instead of sitting on the outside crying about it.

Just my thoughts from experience.

Re: Update on Apple Care

Once you get the paperwork, there is a number that you have to call which is 
the Apple Care line. Then they ask you a series of questions such as your home 
address, telephone number and serial number. If anything changes like you move 
then you have to notify them.

If you sell your Mac then you don't have to tell them as the serial number is 
tide to the machine rather than your ID.

Hope that clarifies things for you.

 Hello Everyone.
 Just an update.
 Thanks to your advice, I have signed up to Apple Care for my Mcbook Pro 13 
 Inch.
 I went for the plan that covers Macbook Air and 13 Inch Macbook Pro. Well 
 that's what the store says anyway.
 Cost was £199 including Vat and delivery is free.
 I will get in the box some paperwork.
 But what surprises me is that in theory, anybody with an Apple Id can sign 
 up to Apple Care, because Apple does not validate your order by checking a 
 product's serial number. Nowhere in the order process was I asked for my 
 Macbook Pro's serial number. I therefore would hate customers to purchase 
 Apple Care, only to find out it's not valid as they bought it 1 year from 
 the original purchase date for example. That's like £200 gone down the 
 drain!
 I know mine will be accepted, but thought I would point this out for 
 potential customers on here.
 With kind regards Chris.

Re: Apple one-on-one training

How do you get the training? I have had my I Mac since Jan but I didn't see any 
option about getting training, I purchased it using the App on my I phone, I 
cannot remember. My Apple store is quite far from me, Either in Cambridge or 
Oxford Street London.

perhaps ot, google translate

2013-07-26 Thread Anouk Radix

Hi everyone,
I dont have a dictionary yet because they are expensive but sometimes i just 
want to quicly  look up what a given word is in english for example. years ago 
this was not really doable on the net but i thought i would give google 
translate a try, to my surprise it is accessible and even works with text not 
just websites as i thought and the translation fo words  is even fairly 
accurate.
One thing htat i would like though and cant seem to find, i can translate from 
dutch to enlgish or french for example but i dont see any other languages 
listed, this would be nife if you want to know the pronounciation fo words you 
translated. I would think that google has the capabilities for it because i do 
remember that i could translate sites from for e.g. russian to dutch or 
english. Does anyone know how you can select this when you are on the googl 
etranslate site and actively translating words?
Is there perhaps a mac app that incorporates the google translate engine/server?
Greetings, Anouk,

Re: Update on Apple Care

Well, they should have told you that you have up to a year to put your Apple 
devices on Apple care.  That is, a year from the time you buy them.

You should report this to Apple.

Re: Rss reader for the mac.

2013-07-26 Thread Brian Fischler

Hey Annie, This is a topic we have discussed a lot recently, you can probably 
find a lot about it in the archive. I think the general consensus on the best 
RSS reader for the mac since the demise of google reader is Read Kit. I believe 
I got it in the mac store for $5 U.S. Hope this helps. For the most part it is 
accessible, and has only a few unlabeled buttons in the preferences, but you 
can use a few work arounds to figure out what they are.

If you sell your Mac then you don't have to tell them as the serial number is 
tide to the machine rather than your ID.

Hope that clarifies things for you.

Hello Everyone.
Just an update.
Thanks to your advice, I have signed up to Apple Care for my Mcbook Pro 13 Inch.
I went for the plan that covers Macbook Air and 13 Inch Macbook Pro. Well 
that's what the store says anyway.
Cost was £199 including Vat and delivery is free.
I will get in the box some paperwork.
But what surprises me is that in theory, anybody with an Apple Id can sign up 
to Apple Care, because Apple does not validate your order by checking a 
product's serial number. Nowhere in the order process was I asked for my 
Macbook Pro's serial number. I therefore would hate customers to purchase Apple 
Care, only to find out it's not valid as they bought it 1 year from the 
original purchase date for example. That's like £200 gone down the drain!
I know mine will be accepted, but thought I would point this out for potential 
customers on here.
With kind regards Chris.

Hi folks,
When I got my 4S, I was told about 2 different apple care plans. for $99 I could 
get Apple care that would cover one accidental replacement if it were dropped in

in good working order. The other plan cost $69 & covered phone support as we 
all have become accustomed to. For that plan, I had 1 year from date of purchase to

Hope this helps.

Help Playing videos in safari or Chrome

2013-07-26 Thread Brian Fischler

Ok, for the longest time this has driven me nuts, as I rarely can get videos to 
play. I know safari doesn't support flash, so what I usually do is open in 
safari and use the develop menu to open in chrome. I saw a blind mac user post 
this video on twitter, and I wanted to check it out but I can't get it to play, 
outside of videos automatically playing when I load a page, I rarely can get 
videos to play when you have to find a play button. Since I know a blind user 
posted this, I figured I must be missing something when it comes to getting 
videos to play. Here is the link I want to play, the woman going nuts in an 
Apple store. Any advice on how to get videos to play using voiceover on a mac 
with safari and/chrome would be greatly appreciated.

can't erase disk on old MBA

Hi all,

I'm trying to erase the disk on my old MBA.  In Dis Utility I've selected the 
disk, and the format, but when I go to click Security Options, VO says the 
button is dimmed.  I've tried selecting both the Apple SSD and the Macintosh 
HD, but neither works.  Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
TIA,
Donna

Re: can't erase disk on old MBA

Are you trying to erase the disk that you booted from? If so it won't 
let you. You'll need to boot from another volume first. That could be 
tricky with an MBA as you don't have a DVD drive to boot from. Maybe if 
you boot from the recovery partition it will let you format the main 
partition.

Re: Apple one-on-one training

2013-07-26 Thread Christopher Edwards


Hello,

Pam makes a very good point. However, the stores open for training sesions 
an hour before normal opening time. At least they do here in the UK. As I 
live quite close to a store I usually book an 8 a.m. appointment. I have 
found these sessions very valuable. I always put that I am a Voiceover user 
on my booking. Although some staff know more about Voiceover than others 
they all seem willing to do quite a lot of research if necessary. I have 
certainly discovered things I would not have learned from a list. Also, as I 
do not have anyone else here with vision I have sometimes done something 
that leads to silence from my Mac or inexplicable behaviour. On these 
occasions the Trainers have been able to explain exactly what has happened 
and I have usually been able to find a work around or a Voiceover command 
that helps.


Yes, the Apple staff do learn as well but I do not begrudge this because I 
think I have learned a lot more and have progressed faster than I might have 
done. Also, I like the fact that you can have as many sessions as you like 
as long as they have slots that suit you.


I did extend my membership for another year because over the winter I did 
not have very much time to spend learning this new platform.


I guess that how worthwhile you will find this service will depend on your 
own individual circumstances.

Hi,
I did pay for the $99 one on one training when I bought my mac, as I was new 
to the Mac OS. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't pay for it.None of 
this has anything to do with the staff or their knowledge as it does with 
the inordinate noise in the store making it almost impossible to hear 
voiceover. The store needs a quiet office where one can get the most out of 
the training or they need to make use of face time in order to give everyone 
an optimum experience.

Well said Chris.
the key phrase here is
based on  individual circumstances.
Each person should as they can, determine if the training is a fit the 
environment suitable etc.
You point out many of the factors that will insure my own training is in 
store when the time comes.

The store needs a quiet office where one can get the most out of the training 
or they need to make use of face time in order to give everyone an optimum 
experience.

RE: can't erase disk on old MBA

2013-07-26 Thread The Smiths

Hi Donna and list

I am thinking with the various peculiarities I am having with voiceover, and 
given I have only had the Macbook Pro for about 3 weeks, of taking it back to 
default and starting again with a clean install. Have spoken to Apple 
accessibility, even did a create a new user, and still the odd problems persist 
so it was suggested that a clean install would be the way to go. Please report 
back here to the list if you go ahead so I can see what issues I will have to 
deal with if I can get my courage to win over my nervousness. Got the Command 
plus r but have read things about moving some slider thing and possible 
renaming of hard drive, so ... Donna you will be my example, give me the 
courage I need. I will await your feedback, thanks.

Kind Regards
Janine

Re: can't erase disk on old MBA

Hi Janine,

Actually, it was a piece of cake.  The VO support from the recovery petition 
was quite complete.  I haven't followed the thread re the problems you've had, 
but if a clean install would help, I would encourage you not to be afraid.  I 
found some nice step-by-step instructions at this link:

http://zahidlilani.com/how-to-restore-macbook-air-to-factory-condition 

This is for the MBA, but the steps will be similar.
Best,
Donnank:

some basic itunes help

2013-07-26 Thread Jed Barton

Hey guys,

OK, I've had my mac for a bit, and now have an iphone.  I know itunes can do
a lot for you, but I want to keep this really simple.
I don't want it organizing my library at all, cause I have a very specific
way that I do it for cataloging purposes.
What I'd like to do is have a bunch of tracks, in a folder, and just load
them on my iphone, is this doable? If so, what's the best way to do it?
I haven't even played with itunes on the mac or iphone yet.

Looking to keep it really simple like I did in the pc days of using winamp.
Also, are there any plugins for itunes that do compression or anything?

Thanks,
Jed

Get a $151 Mac app bundle for free

2013-07-26 Thread -



Who knows how vo friendly they are.  The pdf conversion one of those 
mentioned looks attractive.  If someone gets it do tell us what other 
possible useful apps for blind users are included.

The StackSocial Mac Freebie Bundle 2.0 comes with 10 apps that have a
combined value of $151. Total cost to you: $0.

The apps are all about design, photography, and productivity. They
include the HTML editor and Web site builder WebDesign (which itself
normally costs $49.95), button designer ButtonDesign, photo enhancer

Because I'm not a Mac user, it's hard for me to say if there's anything

Re: some basic itunes help

2013-07-26 Thread Ray Foret jr

Well, Jed, in terms of putting music on your Iphone without having to synch 
through ITunes, yes, this is possible;  provided, that is, that you are willing 
to pay for a third party app solution.  Here's a tip though.  You see, if you 
make sure that all your meta data tagging follows your folder organization 
exactly, that is, you have your music organized in artist/Album/song order, 
ITunes will behave properly and not mess up your stuff when you synch it to 
your Iphone.  At least, that's what they say.  I have found that Wondershare 
Mobile go for IOS is great if all you wish to do is to put music on your phone, 
take it off again, and cause the music files on your phone to synch with 
ITunes.  However, there do seem to be some accessibility issues of which the 
developer is aware.  I do know of another app which can cause you to see your 
Iphone as though it were a drive, but, forget just plain pasting your music 
using that.  The reason is that when either ITunes or Wondershare adds 
something to your Music folder, some propriarity stuff happens that I don't 
quite understand and that is why just regular pasting does not seem to work.  
So sorry if this ain't what you expected, but, it's the best I got for now.  My 
hope is that others can help you better:  for, you see, I too am interested in 
this question.

Sent from my mac, the only computer with full accessibility for the blind 
built-in!
Sincerely,
The Constantly Barefooted Ray
Still a very proud and happy Mac and Iphone user!

Re: vo to caps lock

2013-07-26 Thread Esther

Hello Wayne and Chris,

Wayne is asking about using KeyRemap4MacBook, which was the subject of an 
AppleVis podcast by Eric Caron on how to remap the Control+Option commands 
to the caps lock key for use with VoiceOver on the Mac, with additional 
instructions on how to get this to work as an insert key for JAWS under 
VMWare fusion.  Any attempts to remap the caps lock key on the Mac requires 
the KeyRemap4MacBook application and the PCKeyboardHack file from the same 
web site:  
http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/
and 
http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/pckeyboardhack-usage.html.en
I think the point of confusion is that this is not an application dedicated 
to turning the caps lock key into VO keys, but a general key remapping 
application for the Mac. As such, the user would still need specific 
instructions on how to remap caps lock to the Control+Option keys. And any 
post that gave those details would also provide links to the necessary 
files. I'll give links to two of my mail archive posts that provide links 
to the relevant AppleVis podcast and guide posts, and also to some more 
sources of information about using KeyRemap4MacBook to configure the Mac 
(laptop or Bluetooth) keyboard for use with Windows under VMWare fusion:
• Use KeyRemap4MacBook to remap the insert key to Caps Lock [was Re: The 
insert key in VMware fusion]
http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg84983.html
• Re: VO keys needed in VM
http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg89672.html

The first linked mail archive post gives links to Eric's podcast and user 
guide for remapping the caps lock key at the AppleVis site, but also 
explains why some other solutions for remapping the caps lock key (for use 
as a modifier key for Windows under VMWare fusion) don't work. The second 
linked mail archive post gives links to blog posts at the "Flint's 
Geekiness" web site that describe how to modify Eric's instructions for the 
current version of KeyRemap4MacBook. If you don't need any background 
information about the layout of KeyRemap4MacBook, how to navigate it for 
general use, or to listen to a podcast, then you can go directly to the 
first linked "Flint's Geekiness" blog post in my second linked archive post 
and follow its instructions.  And you can ignore the links I gave to the 
following two posts at that site, which are about configuring other 
settings under the VMWare Fusion preferences for Windows operation to 
eliminate conflicting Mac key definitions.  However, for most users, I'd 
recommend listening to Eric's podcast and reading through the user guide 
and comments at AppleVis.  The main thing that changed in the new version 
of the KeyRemap4MacBook setup last September is that the instructions now 
apply to navigating within the app itself, and not to separate preference 
panes under System Preferences.  You also no longer have to get a special 
developer version of KeyRemap4MacBook, since all the changes were 
incorporated into the current version. What Eric did not detail was 
different ways of avoiding conflicts with Mac key definitions for Windows 
under VMWare Fusion, since that is somewhat user specific and really about 
setting up Windows use under VMWare Fusion.   The two remaining linked 
posts in the "Flint's Geekiness" blog describe how that can be handled 
under VMWare Fusion's preferences.  As far as I know, there's been no 
reference to those blog posts on this list, since Jeffrey Shockley provided 
the first link in response to Phil's question about ways to get an insert 
key for JAWS under VMWare fusion, but Phil ultimately used Sharp Keys to 
remap his insert key, and did not remap the caps lock key at all.

HTH.  Probably other Windows users on this list can help with further 
information, since I don't use VMWare fusion, Windows, or JAWS on my Mac.

Cheers,

Esther

Re: some basic itunes help

2013-07-26 Thread Ricardo Walker

Hi,

I would suggest making a playlist in iTunes.  Then, go to iTunes preferences, 
and under advanced, make sure Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to 
library and Keep iTunes Media folder organized is unchecked.  This way, the 
music to iTunes won’t be duplicated on your drive and, there’s no way iTunes 
will mess up the way your music is organized on your Mac.

So once your playlist is created, you can add the music you want to put on your 
iPhone to it then sync.

Re: Maverick date release question

2013-07-26 Thread Ricardo Walker

Hi,

I don’t think there is a reason to wait really.  Well, I guess you might save 
$30 but, Apple usually give people the chance to upgrade for free if they 
bought a Mac relatively near to the time the new OS is released.

I’m an instant gratification kinda guy so, take that into consideration too. 
lol. :)

what accessible usenet client for mac?

2013-07-26 Thread Anouk Radix

Hi everyone,
It has been a few yeers since i have used usenet at all and usenet on the mac 
in general. But sicne i will be getting an extremely fast internet connection 
soon as well as a new fast mac my interest was peaked again.
What are you guys using on the mac? In the past i found it a priority to be 
able to browse the usenet groups in the oldfashioned way but that is rather 
inefficient, so a client with integrated usenet search (nzb engine) 
capabilities would be nice.
In the past i know that unison (in contrast to transmit) had become rather 
unaccessible. I think there was a webclient called nzbdplus but thats just nzb 
downloading.
What are your experiences?

Re: Maverick date release question

2013-07-26 Thread CJ Daniel

Mark,

Second Riccardo's thoughts.  Just check with your Apple retailer about 
upgrading in the fall.  As Riccardo stated, for the last 4 or 5 years @ least, 
they've included the ability to upgrade for free for people who purchased their 
Mac in the summer.  And, unlike Windows, upgrading is usually a breeze.  Well, 
it has been for me for the last 3 big cats.

Good luck, & buy that new shiny Mac,

CJ
