Re: more on ringtone creation issues

Hi Donna!
I'm glad it is working for you again!
As far as removing all that stuff, it is just the way I like my ringtones just 
the title!

 Hi!

 I've not made one in a couple of weeks but it did go ok the last time!

Re: Blogging in wordpress.com with safari

[Sean Paul]

Heyya Phil, saw your earlier message but was waiting on someone else to 
answer you if they would.
Here's an article which will tell you exactly how to make what you're 
wanting to happen, happen. Was wondering why you'd want to purchase an 
upgrade to wordpress dot com. It'd almost be cheaper in the longrun to 
install wordpress on your own self hosted site. None the less, sounds as if 
you've figured it out. So, here goes link to article. BTW, I have used this 
method before & it does work. Nolonger do as I've moved to self hosted.

Subject: Re: Blogging in wordpress.com with safari


Well, I'm on my way to solving this problem on my own. Instead of placing 
audio files on wordpress servers, it seems like a better idea to incorporate 
a link to these files on dropbox from within my posts.
I checked out  some other blogs from lists members, and that seems to be a 
common method, and it saves the cost of a space upgrade on wordpress. I have 
a pre-October 2012 dropbox account, so I have a public folder. The context 
menu has the "copy public link" item and placing that link in a html link or 
from the address bar in safari, IE10, and firefox cause it to play as I 
wanted.
Now I just have to research creating links in posts using Marsedit - it'll 
probably be a cakewalk.

Can you direct me to any information on the process, or tell me how it's

RE: How to share photos from iPhoto

Just put them on a thumb stick, and copy them to it, then put them on your
computer.  Otherwise, if there on his phone, then just create a photo
stream, and have them add the photos that way.  Once he does, they will show
up on your phone.

Hello, all. My husband has 290 photos on iPhoto of our vacation to Ireland

Re: How to share photos from iPhoto

[Chris Blouch]

Do you want to replace your iPhoto library with his? If so you can just 
replace the /Users/YourAccountName/Pictures/iPhoto Library on your 
machine with the one on his. As previously mentioned you can do this 
through AirDrop, ThumbDrive, file sharing etc. My wife has the official 
family iPhoto library on her machine and every now and then we fling a 
copy from her machine to mine for safe keeping (in addition to time 
machine backups). The automatic sync through iCloud makes this less 
important than it used to be but videos still don't sync through iCloud.

Re: vm and super duper

[Phil Halton]

Wayne, superDuper will, as you know, make a clone copy of your Mac HD, which 
includes your VMWare installation and all your VM's. Now, you can selectively 
copy back any file off your superDuper created clone onto your system, and that 
includes your windows VM. You simply open the clone whether it be a bootable 
image or a sparse bundle doesn't matter, you just mount the image and browse 
for the files you want.
As long as the new VMWare version is backward compatible with previous 
versions, and I am sure that it is, you can  copyback your  .vmware file and 
open it in fusion 6.
P.S. please verify anything I say before acting on it, this is just my best 
guess.

Re: Blogging in wordpress.com with safari

[Phil Halton]

Hi Michael, Well, I tried the short code and just couldn't get it to work. this 
is the code I entered into my post:

[audio 
dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2281930/WordPress/podcasts/LooktelMoneyReader.mp3]

I use that same url as a link field from within the post and it works, but the 
audio short code doesn't seem to want to go, at least, I don't find the audio 
player anywhere in my post, neither do I get any error messages when uploading 
the post containing  the short code from Mars edit. 
Is there supposed to be a space between the short code and the url? That's the 
only possible error I can think of - the url is correct and I enclosed the 
whole thing in brackets [].
Thanks for any help you can offer.

I'm demoing Lisa and really enjoying her so far.

Facebook and new privacy policy

[Christine Grassman]

According to a friend's posting on Facebook,  anyone in the world on Facebook 
can now see posted photos, likes, or comments from anywhere in the world, and 
this cannot be changed in the usual privacy settings.  Instead, she says, one 
must  place the cursor over someone's photo without clicking, and a window 
opens, and then one must  move the cursor to friends, again without clicking, 
and then to settings, and uncheck "life events" in "likes" and "comments". I 
have no clue how this translates toVoiceOver users, nor do I know how to check 
whether my friends on Facebook do this if I ask them to. Essentially, it seems 
that any time photos are posted, and someone likes or comments upon them, they 
are viewable by anyone on Facebook anywhere in the world.

Warning about Voice Dream Reader and iOS7

[Alex Hall]

Hi all,
I know this is not an iOS list, but I also know many of us use iOS devices so I 
thought I'd share this.

The developer of Voice Dream Reader just sent out a warning about iOS7 and his 
app. VDR *will* break under iOS7, so do NOT update your iOS device if you use 
this app. However, there will be an update, hopefully within a week, to address 
the problems and get VDR compatible. Better still, the update will make all the 
iOS high-quality voices Siri can use available for use as voices to read with 
in VDR, for free. So, if you update iOS on Wednesday, you'll be waiting a few 
days until you can use VDR again, but once VDR is updated you can use iOS7's 
new enhanced voices to read your files.



Have a great day,
Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini)

Re: Blogging in wordpress.com with safari

[Sean Paul]

I'm not sure what's going on there. I understand that you have an older drop 
box account which has a public folder. However, I've been given to 
understand that they're blocking this sort of file on any user account. I'd 
suggest trying it with another audio link if you have one to see if that 
solves the problem. If not, then we can go from there in trying to figure 
out what is going on. Also, give me a link to your direct post so I can see 
if I see an audio player on my end as I won't be logged in. Also, this is 
probably something we should best handle off list going forward so feel free 
to contact me.

Re: Facebook and new privacy policy

Actually, not quite.
this viewable is or was only available for us. members, but this may have 
changed  already.
still like Facebooks automatically creating a shadow profile for you, taking 
the names phone numbers and other contact information stored on your 
computer, this cannot be changed in the privacy policy.
There is a solution to the picture thing, let me find and share the link tot 
he article.
Please note, I do not use facebook, and can imagine no circumstance in this 
or the next three lifetimes to encourage me to do this.  As a result I 
have no idea how accessible the repair might be for those who gamble.

Hi, Christine,

This is a hoax. This process stops you from seeing other people's public post, 
and it is time consuming. You'd have to do it for each of your friends. It 
doesn't change your privacy settings at all. Here's more info:

Re: Facebook and new privacy policy

[Karen Lewellen]

Folks,
First the articles explaining that facebook creates shadow
profiles, even of those  who are not on facebook using your data.

http://www.zdnet.com/anger-mounts-after-facebooks-shadow-profiles-leak-in-bu
http:g-717167/

http://www.dailydot.com/news/facebook-shadow-profiles-privacy-faq/

and now for the three facebook privacy settings you should
check...if you can.
Frankly if these things cannot be changed in an  accessible way,
someone should start a fire, smiles.

http://www.informationweek.com/social-business/social_networking_consumer/3-facebook-privacy-settings-to-check/240159628
The above steps are time consuming, but *are supposed* to fix the problem 
for good.

getting to desktop with no items selected

[Mary Otten]

I know there is a way to do this, but I'm drawing a blank. When on the desktop, 
how can I unselect the currently selected item without selecting a new one. For 
example, I have an alias that I want to move from the folder where I creadet it 
to the desktop, but I don't want to paste it on top of an existing item, but 
rather, on to a blank space on my desktop.

Re: getting to desktop with no items selected

[Teresa Cochran]

You might try command-option-control space. This toggles the selection of an 
item with vO. You may have to press it more than once to toggle the selection 
off. Then you can try verifying the selected item with VO-f6. Don't move the 
arrow keys until you want to select something.

Messages meant for the outbox sometimes going to the starred folder on iPhone in Gmail

[Mark BurningHawk Baxter]

I have come across a case, and I have had a similar case happened many times 
before, where a reply I sent to this list instead it seems to ended up in my 
starred folder in Gmail on the iPhone. I am not sure whether the message made 
the list as well, but I find it in my starred folder with no record of having 
put it there.

In this instance, I am speaking specifically of a question I had regarding 
ringtones on the iPhone 5. I do not know whether that message made the list, or 
just was sent to my starred folder.

Does anyone have any ideas why some of my messages might be being filed in this 
manner? (I apologize for asking the question here, except that Raul has yet to 
approve my Gmail requests for AV iPhone list membership.)

Be well.

RE: vm and super duper

Thanks phil that is what I thought but I did not see any
harm in asking so again thanks

Wayne, superDuper will, as you know, make a clone copy of your Mac HD, which
includes your VMWare installation and all your VM's. Now, you can
selectively copy back any file off your superDuper created clone onto your
system, and that includes your windows VM. You simply open the clone whether
it be a bootable image or a sparse bundle doesn't matter, you just mount the
image and browse for the files you want.

As long as the new VMWare version is backward compatible with previous
versions, and I am sure that it is, you can  copyback your  .vmware file and
open it in fusion 6.

P.S. please verify anything I say before acting on it, this is just my best
guess.

Question About Perkins Mini Braille Display

[Desi Noller]

Hi Everyone,

I'm curious to know if any of you have used the Perkins Mini Braille Display 
with your iDevices?  I have read about this display and might be interested in 
getting one, but I'd love to get some information from someone who has actually 
used one.  Thanks!

Desi

Re: Question About Perkins Mini Braille Display

[Alex Hall]

I haven't used it personally, but I did see it last year and got to try some of 
its built-in functions. At the time, iOS didn't support it - it was only added 
in the iOS6 update that came out a few months after I'd seen the display.

I found it very large, cheap-feeling, and clunky, especially for being a 
14-cell display. The cells are recessed a good 3/4 to 1 inch below the rest of 
the plastic casing, the ports fell like an afterthought, and the whole thing 
just gave me a bad impression. For a 14-cell display, consider the Focus 14 
from Freedom Scientific, or the Braille Pen (though that's just 12 cells and 
lack cursor keys(). Yes, the Perkins Mini includes built-in functions, but for 
that I'd much rather go with the Braille Edge from Hims (40 cells, so more 
expensive, but I'm really hoping for a 20-cell version).

The above are just my thoughts, based on maybe ten minutes with the device. At 
the least, though, really try to get a demo of the unit before you decide to 
buy it, or check the return policy.

Perhaps it is a different model, then, but the one I saw was a 14-cell and was

Re: Question About Perkins Mini Braille Display

[Desi Noller]

The one I'm talking about is definitely a 16-cell display.  I wonder if you 
actually saw something else?  I sure do wish there were a way to see these 
things before we buy though, and I certainly appreciate you taking the time to 
write with your thoughts.

Re: Question About Perkins Mini Braille Display

[Desi Noller]

Hi David,

Thanks so much!  I'm interested to know about the storage capacity, what types 
of files it reads such as .txt, .brf, ETC.  and how the book reader works.  
It's perfectly fine if you wish to write me privately about this.  I would 
truly appreciate your thoughts!

Desi

Strange problem with dashboard.

[Gerry Cook]

Hi everyone!  recently i opened the dashboard, and looked at the widgets in 
their, however, when i closed them items in the dock were read out. I heard 
that shouldn't be the case and, was told to have a genius bar appointment 
however i want to try and fix this myself without going to the apple store if 
possible.  Has anyone had this problem before? I'd appreciate any feedback 
because if i leave a widget in their it won't happen but if i close or remove 
any of the widgets, the dock is read out. Thanks.  
cheers gerry have a great day

Re: Infovox Lisa

[BBS]

Hi Traci. Yes, I also think Lisa is cool. I went ahead and bought her for the 4 
voice credits it requires so I have her forever. I showed her to a friend and 
we're both amazed at how well she emphasizes words if you put an exclamation 
beside them. I think she does more words like that than the other English 
voices. Have a good night or day wherever you are.
