Podcasts on the Mac.

2013-09-29 Thread Kawal Gucukoglu
Hello everyone.

A few weeks ago as you all know Itunes got updated.  ever since then, all the 
podcasts I have on Itunes refuse to clear or to be deleted.  Once I play a 
podcast the podcast returns to download such an episode.  Can someone tell me 
how to get rid of my podcasts off the Mac?
I use Downcast on my I phone and when I connected my phone to the Mac, even 
though Downcast was not installed on my Mac, all my podcasts got synced 
although I specifically stated that nothing got synced to my Mac.  I think I 
Cloud did that..

Thank you.

Kawal.

Re: following someone in night owl?

2013-09-29 Thread Steve Holmes
Hey thanks for pointing this out. I used to follow people with the f in front 
of the user name in a new tweet. I wonder what else the Twitter folks wanna 
ruin. I guess they are still hell bent on wrecking the experience for 3rd party 
twitter app developers and users.

Re: Question about mail in IOS7

2013-09-29 Thread Steve Holmes
No, I think you still need to enable deleting by turning off archiving. 
Otherwise if you just choose Archive, the Inbox flag will be turned off and 
that message will sit in All Mail forever. You have to move the message to the 
Trash folder and I'm pretty certain that without Archiving, it will get moved 
to the Trash folder for you. I need to look at my iOS toys and be sure I'm 
right here. I remember reading something about how the gmail related accounts 
do it the right way when deleting is available.

Re: Accessible FTP clients.

No sound when playing podcast in QCast

2013-09-29 Thread Edward Green
Hi,

I've just installed QCast on my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.

I have subscribed to a couple of podcasts and downloaded some episodes.  
However, I get no sound when I try to play them.

The volume is reportedly set to 70% and the podcast position slider moves 
suggesting that the software is playing the episode.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers,

Ed

Re: Deleting a book from the Bard mobile app once downloaded and bread.

2013-09-29 Thread Steve Holmes
Jessica,

I don't think iTunes can talk to the BARD app. That's strange about not being 
authorized to play them as you had to properly sign into the BARD repository 
with the app in order to download in the first place. I have over 20 books on 
my app and have had no trouble playing any of them. The downloads themselves 
did have some fits and starts but got all done after all. I wonder if what you 
downloaded got corrupt or truncated some how.

Re: ITunes and sequencial track number tagging

2013-09-29 Thread Steve Holmes
I have an idea but it is rather geeky and will require some shell scripting and 
the use of a 3rd party ID3 editor that accepts command line functions. I'm 
speaking in general terms right now byt what is basically needed is that all 
your files are consistently named with track numbers in the same place in all 
file names. Then a shell or Apple script could roll through each file and parse 
the track number from the file name and then apply the ID3 tagger to update the 
track number internally. On linux, I have used simple command line tools like 
id3v2 to do the job but I believe id3 editor for the Mac can handle command 
lines - I hope.

That free program id3v2 would require macport or homebrew to get it installed.

Hope these other ideas are of some value.

Re: Fastest Way to Scan Books?

Downcast on the Mac.

2013-09-29 Thread Kawal Gucukoglu
Hello.

I just bought Downcast for the Mac as I'm sick and tired of the iTunes podcast

I purchased this item using my apple ID.

So now it's installed, I would have thought it would have got all my Downcast 
feeds from the Cloud so how do I get all my downcast stuff which is on my I 
phone?

Thanks.

Re: 404 error messages on blindcooltech.com

2013-09-29 Thread Steve Holmes
The 404 error means the URL is pointing to something that doesn't exist. The 
current site for Blind Cool Tech is full of broken links. It should be taken 
down. If it is dead, then the owners should do us all a big favor and shoot it 
once and for all and get rid of it totally. It is of no value in its present 
form.

Re: downcast on the mac

2013-09-29 Thread Steve Holmes
Downcast on iOS is great and I've been using it for over a year and a half. the 
Mac version works well as has been mentioned earlier in this thread. There have 
been some significant issues with the iCloud syncing with earliest versions of 
Downcast on the Mac but Version 1.3 has just been submitted for approval so 
hopefully we'll see that one in a few days.

My only big complaint now with downcast on the Mac is when you speed up 
playback of a file, the audio degrades considerably. I don't see this happening 
with VLC and it doesn't happen on the iOS versions either. Not sure if that is 
downcast's problem or if that audio degrading at higher speeds is more native 
to the Mac, outside control of downcast.

despite that, I still recommend Downcast for Mac highly.

Make sure the iOS version of Downcast has all iCloud syncing enabled and also 
check same options in the Mac version. Once done, things should start syncing 
automatically. At least that happened for me.

Re: use Mac as Airplay or bluetooth speaker?

2013-09-29 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

If these are movies you've purchased, they should be available to stream on 
your Mac when "Show Purchases in the Cloud" is checked in the Store pane of 
iTunes Preferences.  If they are not purchased items, you can transfer them 
over to your Mac from within iTunes.  If you're going to another person's Mac, 
then you're kind of out of luck I believe.

Re: ITunes and sequencial track number tagging

2013-09-29 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

You may also wish to look at TidyMyMusic by WonderShare.  Not sure how 
accessible it is nor if it will actually do what you wish but this developer 
does make some pretty useful software.

Re: portable battery

2013-09-29 Thread Terje Strømberg
Hi

Limeade 18000mAh from http://mylimeade.com I am on the 7th charge on my iPhone. 
Turns itself off when finished charging. Connect your usb cable and push the 
button to the "in front left side" and you will hear the Voice Over say 
something like "charge" in IOS 7 or just a start up sound. Very portable and 
high usefulness gadget score. Same length as iPhone and 3 times as thick. About 
2cm wider. I guess, weight  about 500 gramme. Fits in to my suit pants if i 
need to walk and charge at the same time with the iPhone in a belt clip.

At my end there was a problem finding links and open them on their limeade site 
tonight, but i paid with Pay Pal and it was in my mailbox in Oslo Norway within 
14 days. 

Take care

Re: use Mac as Airplay or bluetooth speaker?

I think it is possible to use airfoil and airfoil speakers.

Re: Fastest Way to Scan Books?

Hi.

I have tried the hovercam. If mine was broken I do not know, but I get very bad

but it has become more difficult to get a good flatbed scanner.

Then we have the Norwegian, Israel and Danish voices and maybe a couple more. 
Together the market grows. From the Apple side there should be an conscience

Re: ITunes and sequencial track number tagging

Ah yes, I have their Mobile go for IOS.  Seems that IOS 7 broke that app's 
usefullness:  Thus, finally compelling me to make peace with the ITunes Library 
system.  If I am going to have to pay for a third party tagging app, I'll just 
buy Rename.

 Hi,
 
 What I use is fusion, and a little windows utility called mp3tag. It 
 allows you to select a bunch of tracks, who's filenames have been nicely 
 numbered. It looks at each file in turn, numbering it in sequence. Of 
 course, your filename numbering must be correct, in order for mp3tag to 
 match your track numbers accordingly. But that is very effective. You 
 select your files, and then you tab across the mp3tag windows dialog, 
 filling in general information that you want applied to each track. For 
 example,you can fill in the artist and album name from within the mp3tag 
 program window, and apply that to all selected files. You then select 
 renumber as a second operation, and mp3tag fills in the track number field 
 inside each mp3 file's meta data.
 If you then import those mp3 files into itunes, your metadata, i.e. the 
 mp3 tags, will be just fine, so that itunes knows how to handle each mp3 
 file and move it into your itunes library.
 
 Hth,
 Paul.

Calculator: Reverse Polish notation and Reviewing the Stack?

2013-09-29 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, all,

I've been playing with this mode in the calculator, and I find it very easy. 
You can choose it in the view menu in calculator or press command-r. It's great 
for entering many figures and several operands and calculating them. When I 
googled Reverse Polish Notation, I found lots of tutorials about it.

I have a question, though. Is it possible to review the stack of figures with 
VO? I can't seem to find a way to do this.

Thanks,
Teresa

Re: Calculator: Reverse Polish notation and Reviewing the Stack?

2013-09-29 Thread Teresa Cochran

I realy like it, because it's a linear and not so much a spatial process. One 
reason I've never done well in math is confusion with spatial orientation, so 
this is very refreshing.

Re: Calculator: Reverse Polish notation and Reviewing the Stack?

2013-09-29 Thread Barry Hadder
Hi Teresa,

The stack is a table that vo interacts with in the usual way.  It's just above 
the value display, but you will need to move vo left to find it.  It has four 
rows because they traditionally had stacks with a capacity of four.  Of course, 
the one in calculator is a scroll view so it holds much more.  The new ones 
also have much larger stacks now also, but many of the old timers say that all 
anybody really needs is four.  When you think about it, it makes sense.The 
top of the stack is the last row of the table.  It grows downward.
Hope that helps.

Thanks, Barry. I understand the layout. However, VO doesn't seem to be reading
