Re: taming the album grid in Itunes

2013-09-01 Thread Ricardo Walker
Hi Mary,

I just don’t use that view. I really hate it with Voiceover. lol.  I select the 
songs button so everything is shown in list form.  For an artist, I then press 
command option F to go to the search field, type in the artist name and press 
enter.  I then jump back to the songs table, and there is all the songs by that 
artist.

Hi,

Its in the Apple menu.  Press VO M to go to the menu bar, and the Apple menu is 
the first option.  You can also quickly go to sounds settings by pressing FN

Frustrated trying to import photos from a picture CD

2013-09-01 Thread Christine Grassman
Hello, all. I have already spent considerable time on  Apple Support trying to 
figure out how to import photos from a CD onto my Mac.  I was assured when we 
purchased the picture CD from vacation activities that it would work on any 
system. 
Although I have my iPhoto preferences set to open iPhoto when I inset a picture 
CD. nothing is happening.  OPening iPhoto manually does nothing either. I 
cannot find a way to get onto the CD; there appears to be no way to import.
The support videos I am finding either assume I already have  pictures 
imported, or are assuming I have either a memory stick or digital camera.  Help 
would be sincerely appreciated.

Re: Frustrated trying to import photos from a picture CD

2013-09-01 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

• Open iPhoto.
• Press cmd-shift-i or go under the File menu and choose Import to Library.
• Press cmd-shift-c to bring up the list of connected media.
• Navigate through the items to find the CD.
• Expand or open it.
• Locate the folder with all the photos and select it.
• Press the Import button.

All the photos within that folder will be imported into your iPhoto Library.  
You can easily find the entire import in the Last Import section.  You can then 
select any or all of them and put them into other albums if you wish.

HTH.

Later...

Lots of things as I know the Seeing App is fully VI friendly as it will tell 
you what is in front and what is coming up next which Blind Square lacks.  I 
don't want to open ten apps to get what I need as opening one app is enough.  
On the bus even though I have not set a route it doesn't tell me where I am and 
I have almost missed my stop even though I've told it what to do.

The Seeing App is not free.  I only know that the 3 year subscription is 130 
dollars but you can pay a year's subscription but not sure what that is.  I 
think it worth the money as I use to use a similar app on a mobile called GEO 
and this is what it is like.

Re: Downgrading my mac mini from ml to l

2013-09-01 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

Did you purchase the Mini with ML on it?  If so, then you're kind of hooped.  
Apple has coding in firmware and such that makes it extremely difficult to go 
backwards from the originally installed from factory OS.  If it came with Lion 
or earlier, then you can do a clean install of the older OS.  You'll just need 
to backup all your current info then bring that info back manually.

Probably not the best news but it's the best I can offer.

Later...

   You can try signing out of the iTunes store from the Store menu and then 
signing back in again.  Then, try updating match fem the store menu as well.

Hi,

You could also try turning off iTunes Match then turning it back on.  It sounds 
like some sort of conflict between the Match Library entries and the local info.

 Hi all,
 
 For about the last week or so when I open iTunes, I get the error message 
 "The iTunes store cannot complete your request (An unknown error occurred 
 error error 4002).  I can bring this dialog up by clicking on iTunes 
 match, so I think it's somehow related to that.  Anyone have any idea what 
 this might be, and more importantly how I can get rid of it?
 TIA,

  You have to sign into the store first and then turn off Match.  Of course, 
this is provided that you are paying for the service.

Re: iTunes error 4002 (I think it has to do with iTunes match)

2013-09-01 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

Press VO-m to go up to the menubar, right to the Store menu, then down to the 
Turn Off iTunes Match.  You can turn it back on in the same way.  No need to go 
into the iTunes Store web area.

Kind of.  As I noted though, if the Mini is coded with the ML OS then it's 
usually more or less impossible to go backwards.

Making keynote slides from screen shots

2013-09-01 Thread Antonio M. Guimaraes Jr.
Is it possible to create accessible screenshots from within Safari to paste 
into Keynote?

I am looking to make a presentation that will include certain webpages. I need 
to know what slide I am on.

I would like to capture screenshots to paste into Keynote, , and still have the 
text readable with voiceover so I know what we're looking at during the 
presentation.

I can add some text to the page to queue me as to what's like I am on. This 
goes around the problem that may arise if pasting screenshots gives you images, 
not text.

Thanks,

Antonio

Re: Making keynote slides from screen shots

2013-09-01 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

In theory, it's possible with an OCR of the screenshot.  typically, the 
screenshot is an image, thus not readable by VO or any screenreader for that 
matter.  The problem will arise when the page you performed the OCR on starts 
losing organizational functionality.  If this is for other VO users, that may 
not specifically matter, as long as they can know what was on the screen.  If 
the presentation is for sighted users, you may require some sighted assistance 
to make sure that the integrity of the screenshot is maintained after the OCR 
process.  Alternatively, as you mentioned, if the original screenshot is there 
with some notes from yourself, that would work for a sighted audience.

HTH.

2 or 3 OS on one system

2013-09-01 Thread Mark Furness
Currently, I ma running a Mac I3 with a 500gb disc and 12gb of ram.
On an external I have ML stored.
With Maverick soon to arrive, I wish to put at least OS on my Mac, if not all 3.

Currently I'm running Lion only.

1. Is it ok to run all 3 OS?
2. How would I change from one OS to another, beside switching the start up 
disk?
3. Do I just format my hard drive into 2 or more sections and place the 
different Os in their own section?

Thank you for your help in this matter.

Hi,

My answers below:

• Yes, but as far as I'm aware, they cannot run simultaneously.  The only time 
I've ever seen that was in the transition from OS 9 to OS X.

• Startup Disk is the only method I'm aware of.

• Basically, yes.  As long as you install each OS separately on the various 
partitions, then your Mac should be able to run from each of them after chosen 
from Startup Disk.

Re: 2 or 3 OS on one system

Yes, Ricardo is correct here.  The issue is that the list of possible Startup 
Disks is not accessible when using this method.  You could certainly determine 
the right number of arrow presses to make it work for you though.  Essentially, 
this is just an alternative method of choosing a different Startup Disk instead 
of using system Prefs.

Re: Making keynote slides from screen shots

2013-09-01 Thread Antonio M. Guimaraes Jr.
Thank you.

I would add that the best way to capture a screenshot for pasting later is the 
keystroke Command-Shift-Control-3.

That's the 3 in the num row. 

Use the command above without the control key and a file is created on your 
desktop containing the image.

If using the preferred method, you can go into a new location on the computer 
and paste with Command-V

Hope this helps.

Re: taming the album grid in Itunes

2013-09-01 Thread Mary Otten
Thanks Barry and Ricardo for your input on my problem with the artist view in 
iTunes. I think I like the column browser solution better. But it's good to 
have choice. Quick nap is behaving differently Undermountain lion then it did  
in snow leopard, but I'm having a difficult time putting my finger on the 
difference. All I know is, I'm using the number pad a lot more. Thank God for 
extended keyboards.
