Re: Pages and dates
I think that they will fix a lot of issues, or so I hope, because I am sure that these reports are not just coming from the accessibility side. If you see it carefully, there are not so many things to do, just bring back the behavior with all kinds of fields, dates and hot keys. So it is not that they need to change their design completely, just to bring back what they lost. What I think they did, es simplify the mac version in order for it to be compatible with iOS, which is not bad, but they should still have other options for mac users. Lets say: if you use those options, may be they could warn you that they will not be compatible for iOS, but one can decide. Just some thoughts about it … I am sad, hope to be happy again with Pages.

Mac Calender (Openning Events)
Hi All, I used to be able to use the Command O command to open events in the Calendar, be that to edit them, add to them etc, and also the Command Delete to delete them etc. Now though none of this is working since my upgrade to Mavericks, has anyone got any specific on how to use Calendar now and what might be going on for me?

Re: finder busy in large folders and can't create new users
Hi there When I was still in Mavericks, one way I found to get out of Finer busy without completely force quitting was to press control command eseape, and then press the carriage return a couple of times. This resulted, in my case, of not force quitting but getting Finer out of busy. The other thing I found was once I opened a window I needed, I didn't close it, but went from window to window in Finer with command accent sign. I found I didn't get Finer busy so much as long as I didn't try to set up new windows in Finer. You might try some of these things and see if it helps.

Help with OS 10.9, VO and Navigating Website with Frames
Hello! I maintain a website for a leather/levi social organization. The website has a menu contents frame at the left and the main frame where the content displays on the right. VoiceOver has never had a problem with this setup until I upgraded to OS 10.9. When I first load the page, VO sees both frames. After making a selection from the menu frame, VO only sees the menu frame and no longer sees the main frame Every once in awhile it will see it, but if I make another selection from the menu frame and try to return to it, it will not see it the second time. Changing between Group and DOM navigation has no effect. Enabling and disabling Live Regions also has no effect. Sighted people tell me that they have no problems using the website... The main frame is being populated with the correct information... The problem seems to be that VoiceOver forgets about the main frame (in other words, when turning the web rotor to Frames, the only frame listed is the menu frame). Do you have any ideas as to why this is happening under 10.9? Do you have any suggestions as to a work around? (I can still do my work, it is just difficult for me to proof without asking for sighted help, which I would like to avoid.) Thanks for any assistance you may provide! Lou/BlindMacMan.

TextEdit and iText no longer work under Maverick like they used to
Listers, I am having problems with rtf files in TextEdit and iText express. Whilst I used to be able to read them and edit them by using just arrow keys in Mountain Lion, in Maverick, I don't seem to be able to do this. I have to interact with the text area to be able to read by line but then I can't delete text or look for text with find facility. The same is true of iText express. I thought Pages might do it so I have just purchased it and what a disappointment! Pages won't even see rtf files in my folders. Disaster! I had to convert rtf to txt format in order to get back to being able to edit and arrow up and down the text. Has anyone else noticed it as well? Look forward to your experiences/tips.

Re: Mac Calender (Openning Events)
Tim, What you describe has always been the default behaviour. I have always found the calendar in Mountain Lion difficult on the Mac. However, I don’t know if it’s improved under Mavericks. It’s better on IOS7 but you can’t get rid of birthdays especially if they came from MSN messenger as I have birthdays in my calendar from people when I was using Linctin. Kawal.

Re: Help with OS 10.9, VO and Navigating Website with Frames
Hi Lou, I can confirm your findings. Here’s what I do to get around this for now. 1. After activating a link in the first frame, press tab until you reach an item in the other frame. 2. If it is a link you wish to affect, press return after tabbing to it. This is where things get inconsistent. Sometimes, I can Interact with whatever I’ve tabbed to and then VO focus restores but not as often as I’d like. It appears that when using VO navigation, including the Item Chooser, most of the elements aren’t being noticed by VO. If you tab though, they are workable, but not really in a VO way. What I mean here, is that using VO commands makes it lose focus again whereas using OS commands like tab and return will perform the task. I’ve also noticed that, only sometimes, a Refresh of the page will help. So, overall, I probably have only confirmed your findings and only given you half-baked work-arounds. Hope it helped a little.

Re: TextEdit and iText no longer work under Maverick like they used to
Hello Ray, To reset the PRAM, shut down your computer, then hold down the following four keys: Command, Option, letter p and letter r. With these held down, press the Power key once and keep the other four keys held down until you’ve heard the start up chime four times. Let go and the machine will boot as usual.

Re: Mac Calender (Openning Events)
Hi, What’s likely happening with the birthdays, is that you don’t have permission to edit/delete them. When events come to your calendar from an outside source such as FaceBook, Linctin etc, then you don’t have edit privileges for that item, just read privileges.

Re: TextEdit and iText no longer work under Maverick like they used to
Hi guys Bad news! We don't know it, but when we select text in TextEdit in Mavericks, it might be selected and we don't know it. Just before Apple put me back to Mountain Lion, I was on the Remote Advisor screen, and I showed the Apple representative under TextEdit (rtf file, that is). I said I couldn't delete anything. That wasn't the thing, he told me. It would delete just fine, but VoiceOver wasn't saying things right. I had selected them, and when he told me, I deleted the text I wanted to take out. The braille display that I helped to make worse and TextEdit problems are why I was put back into Mountain Lion. I have to have TextEdit for my work. ;the frustrating thing is, I really need the update for Numbers. I found it to be better than the old one.

On a similar note, when I use Text Edit, I’m noticing that I can’t open a big folder anymore. All Voiceover says is browser when I tap the right arrow to go in the folder.

Re: TextEdit and iText no longer work under Maverick like they used to
Thanks Anne. I am glad to hear it. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that I had my Braille Edge 40 on there before I supidly took it off. VoiceOver refused to recognize any braille displays after that, and I seemed to be having some terrible navigation issues. So maybe this relates to something on my computer and not something in general. I still have an open case, so as soon as I can, I am going to call Apple back and see what's what.

The Calendar is weird on the Mac.
Hello All. I had a notification in my calendar and after closing it in the Notifications on my Mac, I needed to edit an appointment in my Calendar. At first I could not navigate the days. So I decided to go down with vo Down arrow which got me into my list of events. Does anyone know how to navigate the calendar as I have day view running. I wish Voice Over would tell you list of short cut keys although Voice Over may not have any. Once I got the hang of checking my list of events, the rest of it was guess work. It wasn’t difficult but one will have to get use to it. Just before I go, one thing has always bugged me on the Mac but those of you who have used Jaws in a windows environment will understand what I mean. Can one know the title of document of window or application? As in Windows you could do insert T for the title of application or document. I am now not putting Windows back on my Mac as it is too much work. Unless something bad happens as I’ve decided to get Sarah for my scanning needs in due course.

Re: The Calendar is weird on the Mac.
Hi! To know the title of an app, hit VO+f1. To know the title of a window, hit VO+f2. This, understanding that your function keys work as standard keys.

Re: The Calendar is weird on the Mac.
Hi, I guess I must be used to the Calendar on the Mac as I’m not experiencing your frustration. Note the following when in Day View: 1. If you navigate around the screen, you’ll have Previous Day, Today and Next Day buttons as well as the current month grid and two areas for today’s events. One is sort of a summary thing that you can drill down into and the other is the more editable List of Events Table. 2. When you Interact with the List of events Table, then, contrary to my last post about the Calendar app, you are able to edit/delete events easily. To edit the event, simply navigate to it then press cmd-i (Get Info) or cmd-e (Edit Event) which, by the way, appear to bring up the same window. To delete the event, navigate to it then press the Delete key and follow the prompt. When I posted in Neil’s question, I was in Month view so it was not as easy as in Day view. 3. When you Interact with the Month Grid, you can quickly whip around through the month and VO will announce if the specific day has any events in it. You can drill down into that day while in the Month Grid and use VO navigation to hear the events and can press cmd-i to edit it if you wish. If you decide to delete it,, it’s easier, in my opinion, to navigate to the List of Events Table and delete it from there. HTH.

Re: The Calendar is weird on the Mac.
Hello Kawal, In Calendar, have you tried using the command VO-Cmd-x to go to Next List? Also, when you want to find a command, try doing VO-h-h to get the complete list of VO commands. You’ll be amazed at what you find.

Re: Disk Maker X
Hello all! I hope I can help you with this, here you have a very easy way to create a Bootable drive for Mavericks. Just, be sure to do exactly as it is and you will be amazed on how nice it is. 1. Download the installer for the OS and when prompted to install, just cancel the process. The installer will be an App on your Apps folder. 2. Rename the app exactly as: IM.app See that the name before the extension is in Capital letters. 3. Take a flash drive (8 GB minimum)and with Disk Utility, erase it and leave it as Untitled. Erase the name during the formatting process, or just do so with enter on it when you see it on your desktop. Make sure it is totally erased, no data at all. 4. Go to Terminal inside your Utilities folder, open it and paste the following command, making sure that there are not blanck lines or spaces in what you select to copy. Start of command* sudo /Applications/IM.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/IM.app --nointeraction End of command* 5. Write your password if you are asked to enter it, and the creation process will start. VoiceOver will read some things during it, and when it is finished, just close Terminal. 6. You will see that now your Flash drive will be named as Maverick installer or something like that. Ready, you now have your Booth-able drive to install the OS. The process is different, but you will magically get a great result without having to use any other resources. Please let me know if this works. Hope it helps!

Re: TextEdit and iText no longer work under Maverick like they used to
Dear Anne, You wrote: "I’m not having your problems with TextEdit under Mavericks. I always interact with the text and Find commands work correctly" Anne, thank you for responding. Maybe it has to do with my setup but I can't think what may be different. When I interact with the text, I can use vo + arrows to read the text and vo+shift + arrows to spell words but I can't use any of the editing commands like highlighting or deleting. I'm sorry to sound panicky but these rtf files are work-related and I got anxious as one would of course. The mac computer on which I have installed maverick is old but it used to run Mountain Lion successfully. I did an extensive search on the internet as regards which macs would run Maverick and the overwhelming impression I got from all the comments was that if one's computer could run mountain lion it should also run Maverick. That's why I have installed Maverick. I guess I just have to accept that I won't be able to edit rtf in TextEdit nor iText express now. Do you understand why Pages won't open or deal with rtf files? I thought Pages was a word processor that should be able to deal with a variety of existing formats. Also, Anne, when you interact with the text in TextEdit, I presume that you would interact by the usual way of vo+shift+down arrow. Can you then select text by using for instance shift+option + down arrow to select a line? Or are there different key strokes to select and manipulate text? Thank you for the time you took to respond to my woes.

What happens to me, is that I can work correctly with textedit on page one, but when I go to page 2, VoiceOver won’t read with the regular commands. What can we do about?

Re: Mac Calender (Openning Events)
I've always loved Calendar in Mountain Lion. It works really well for me. Deleting events with command-delete or editing them with command-e works fine. Along with Mail, it's one of my favourite Mac apps. I don't like the week or day views, but month view is great. I only played briefly with Calendar in Mavericks. It saddens me that so many great apps are taking backward steps in Mavericks. I'm trying to remain positive but it's getting difficult. Mountain Lion was a great upgrade; Mavericks, not so much. The list of issues is growing long; far too long for a 10.9.1 fix I think. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

fantastical 2 is an app I like more than apple calendar
HI all, I just downloaded and tried the app Fantastical 2 on my iPhone. It’s currently half off right now. I’ve only played with it for around 20 minutes so this is my early take on the app. I like it a lot more than the apple calendar app, mostly because I now have access to month view this way. The app is way easy for me personally to use. So far, everything has been mostly accessible and understandable to me except for one area. This area is called the week view. You can switch the app to week view by turning your device to landscape view. I really don’t find this helpful as I can’t quite figure the layout out and I really just don’t need this feature. The app was super easy to set up and it gives a tiny bit of a tutorial on how to switch from ticker view to month view. I personally don’t care for or need the ticker view as I think this may be something more suitable to someone who is visual. I had the fantastical app before but this newer version is way better. I love that I can see my calendar events and my reminders all in one spot. Of course, my favorite thing was the month view, which was a must have for me. So, if you have an older version of Fantastical you will need to purchase Fantastical 2 and it’s on sale now for $2.99. I was upset about this as I already had purchased Fantastical a year ago but fifteen minutes after I downloaded the app, I am more than pleased with my $2.99 purchase. One thing I would find helpful is if in Calendar view when I touch a day instead of just saying October 30th 3 events, 1 reminder, I would love it to say Wednesday October 30th, 3 events, 1 reminder. :) This really is a small thing but it would just be a time saver instead of having to slide my finger up to see what day of the week a particular date falls on. :) The way it is now, it just requires a bit more brain power on my part. :) I do want to note that I do not use my Calendar app for anything fancy or complex. It’s mostly for the Family’s schedule and so I have not tested every aspect of the app but so far so good. :) I do share my calendar with my husband so that he will know what is going on and that part is working like a charm as well. :) I think it’s because everything is synced with apple’s Calendar and reminder apps.

Introducing myself, questions from a new mac user
Hi all, My name is Andrew. I am 23 and from Australia. I have recently switched from windows to the mac. I have had an IPhone for 2 years now, and liked the idea of the built in screen reader and having the same access as sighted people out of the box, without the need to buy or install any extra software! I have also been unimpressed with Jaws particularly with jaws 15, and the so called new features which are really improvements to what’s already there. I look forward to participating in this group and hopefully down the line, helping fellow new users. I have had help with a lot of things, I’ve found I need to relearn how to do everything all over again. It’s a challenge, but fun at the same time. I have some questions I would like some help with please. 1. I know how to copy from an external hard drive to the mac hard drive, but how do you copy between 2 locations on the mac hard drive itself? say how would I copy from downloads to my personal folder? 2. How do you attach files to emails, and save attachments? 3. What is the keystroke for receiving new email?

Re: Introducing myself, questions from a new mac user
1. Welcome. 2. copying is done within a Mac drive from one location to another in the same way you already know how to do it. Next. Attach files to e-mail message either with Shift+CMD+a or else you can do it via cutting and pasting the way I do. To get attachments from an e-mail, I use the file menu for that since I upgraded to 10.9. As for the hopt key for calling the server for new mail, I use Shift+Cmd+n. HTH.

Re: fantastical 2 is an app I like more than apple calendar
Hi Christina, Upon your recommendations, I have purchased this app. I launched it and see all of my appointments. However, I cannot activate the settings option. I think I saw something indicating that he had to choose the day take her and then move down to the calendar option. I don't seem to be able to do that either. Can you assist in helping with setting this up? Thanks very much.

Re: fantastical 2 is an app I like more than apple calendar
This sounds great I will go get it now. I've always heard good things about Fantastical but until Apple stuffed up Calendar in iOS 7 I never thought I'd need it because Apple's Calendar was great. I've always wanted to see my calendar events and reminders/ToDo's in one place though, so this point really sold me. Regarding VoiceOver not announcing the day of the week in month view: How about contacting the developer on this issue? That should be something the developer could easily address and I agree it would be a really useful feature for VoiceOver users. Just while we're on the topic of calendars, I also downloaded the trial version of BusyCal for Mac. It has fantastic features, but unfortunately the actual calendar part of the application seems completely invisible to VoiceOver. It also seems to make VoiceOver really sluggish. I will contact the developer though and hopefully might be able to work something out. Cheers, Nic -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

BusyCal Support
Dear BusyCal Support Team, I downloaded the trial of BusyCal for Mac. I absolutely love the features in BusyCal, which are so sadly missing in the native OS X Calendar. However, unfortunately I haven't been able to use BusyCal properly. I use VoiceOver—Apple's built-in screen reader for OS X—to access my Mac. Voiceover is a utility for people who are blind or have low vision. It reads out information on the screen and allows users to control the Mac with the keyboard. All the controls, preferences etcetera of BusyCal are accessible with VoiceOver, but sadly the actual calendar part of the application—presumably listing the days of the month and events etcetera—appears completely inaccessible with VoiceOver. From a VoiceOver user's perspective, the calendar part of the app is invisible. It would be fantastic if you could make your app accessible with VoiceOver. Thankfully, Apple makes this much easier than one might expect, given the support for VoiceOver it builds into the Mac. Apple provides an introduction for developers on accessibility in OS X, including VoiceOver, at the following link: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Accessibility/Conceptual/AccessibilityMacOSX/OSXAXIntro/OSXAXintro.html Apple provides a general overview of VoiceOver for consumers here: http://www.apple.com/accessibility/osx/voiceover/ Additional information for developing apps that are accessible to VoiceOver users can be found on the AppleVis website at: http://www.applevis.com/information-app-developers I would gladly welcome any news from BusyMac if/when you improve its accessibility so I can spread the word among the community of VoiceOver users. Additionally, if there are any settings, configurations or the like which you believe might assist VoiceOver users in accessing BusyCal please let me know.

Fantastical for Mac
Hi all, I downloaded the free 14 day trial of Fantastical for Mac. I managed to get through the set up process fine, but seem to be having some issues with the app. The app doesn't appear to have a window. I can only seem to access some kind of system menu, and this only displays a search field and list of events and reminders. I can't seem to actually see a calendar view. I want to let the developer know about this, but want to confirm my findings with someone else first so I can give the developer accurate and useful information in my report. Similarly, if someone else has already contacted them about accessibility then maybe it's not worth the bother.

Fantastical for iOS
I bought Fantastical 2 today on sale. Everything seems labeled properly, but still having some issues getting it working. 1. The settings button remains dim. Presumably I have to do something to activate this button, but not sure what that is. 2. Welcome message remains displayed. The welcome message tells me to swipe down on the date picker to reveal the calendar. I can't work out how to do this. 3. Unable to open events or mark reminders as complete. Double tapping on reminders or events doesn't seem to do anything. If anyone can help with any of these issues I'd really appreciate it.

Re: Fantastical for iOS
All your problems are caused by the intro tips. Once you do the 3 tasks it gives you your settings etc will not be greyed any more. When they say swipe or slide down vo users do a double tap and hold and when the tone sounds slide your finger down a bit. With this and double tap on the today button etc I was able to get into the app proper. Danny.

Re: BusyCal Support
Good that you’d emailed busy cal support. Hopefully they’ll respond, and implement better accessibility. I’d tried the app a couple years ago, and I found the same thing, the actual calendar area wasn’t visible to VO at all. And when I went to switch back to what was iCal at the time, this was on Snow leopard, I found that it wouldn’t launch. Well, it would launch, but VO would say iCal has no Windows.So somehow, putting on busy cal, totally messed up iCal for some reason. Had to do a total reinstall of the OS at the time, to get it back. Before doing that however, I tried rebuilding the launch services data base with Onyx, this would fix it temporarily so I could use iCal again, but then later, it’d act up again. Don’t know why that happened. After that experience, and the inaccessibility of busy cal, don’t think I’ll be installing it again, until there are improvements in accessibility.Luckily that time, I’d just installed a trial version, so I wasn’t out nay money. .

request. automatic updates. voice over feature.
hi friends. I would like to ask a favor to friends group. about a feature that is very important for users of voice over and the team Accessibility apple. why support accessibility does not add a feature for voice over have automatic updates? ... is assumed the commitment to support the accessibility of voice over, also teem take this commitment to upgrade voice over short periods of time, rather than only when updates are available for the system. This feature already exists in almost all screen readers, nvda, and jaws, and more. why has not been done for voice over? ... apple what are you waiting for? where is your commitment to accessibility in voice over? someone please write a ticket for support of voice over asking for this feature updates automa'ticas for voice over. I know this would cause the team to support voice over longer assume this commitment but would be good for everyone. I can not make this request because I do not write English perfectly. please who does this favor the voice over and all of its users? thanks. cheers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: BusyCal Support
Yes, I'm glad they had a trial as well. I was tempted, but reluctant, to pay the money to test it. Glad I didn't buy it now. The other issue is that VoiceOver is incredibly sluggish with it too, but I thought I'd take it one step at a time with the support team. Anyway, at least Calendar is still working fine for me.

Re: Fantastical for iOS
The tip displaying at the moment says pull down on the DayTicker until it switches to the calendar. So far as I can work out, the DayTicker is a horizontal row of dates across the top of the screen, just below the settings button, month/year and the add event button. I tried double tapping on this and swiping my finger down, but I can't seem to get it to do anything. Thanks for the tip though. If I can't get it to work I'll try getting a sighted person to get rid of the tips for me then it sounds like I'll be in business. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: request. automatic updates. voice over feature.
Hello Mario, VoiceOver is not a screen reader like JAWS or NVDA, it is an alternative way of interacting with the operating system. VoiceOver is not a separate application in the OS, so what you are requesting makes no sense. Updates happen to VoiceOver just as they do to the other elements of the OS.

Re: request. automatic updates. voice over feature.
Seems to me Apple could push out updates to VoiceOver if they wanted to, just as they push other updates for raw camera compatibility and the like, even though those aren't separate applications. More frequent updates to VoiceOver would be good. However, the main accessibility issues we have are not problems with VoiceOver, but typically problems in other apps. It's those apps that need to be updated to improve accessibility, not VoiceOver. For instance, in Mountain Lion it's iBooks, Pages, Mail, Calendar and Finder which need updates, not VoiceOver. Well, there are a couple of issues with some of the voices messing some things up, but that's a different issue as it's Nuance that needs to address those issues. Having said all this, Mario, I'd be happy to write the email for you if you like, and then you can send it from your own email account. I'll wait and hear what other people on this list have to say first, however, as it's probably wise to take on board other feedback.

Feature Request: iCloud Syncing of VoiceOver Preferences
Dear Apple Accessibility Team, With such deep integration of iCloud with so many aspects of iOS and OS X, it's surprising that VoiceOver has so far been left out. Many VoiceOver users own multiple Apple devices, and would benefit greatly from being able to sync VoiceOver preferences across all their devices. Currently, for Mac, there is the portable preferences feature. Though no doubt a good idea at the time, this is now a little out dated and clunky, requiring a user to carry around a USB flash drive to plug into each mac, it also seems to have troubles syncing preferences in multiple directions, at least in my experience. I've also tried exporting my VoiceOver preferences to a third party syncing service (Dropbox), but this also does not seem to work smoothly. It doesn't seem to export or import my pronunciation and keyboard commander preferences, for example. iCloud seems like the perfect solution for this problem. It could offer seamless syncing of VoiceOver preferences across multiple Apple devices, without needing to carry around the same portable flash drive. It could offer syncing between Macs, between iOS devices and even between Macs and iOS devices so far as the same preferences were applicable. I hope you consider this for a future update to VoiceOver and both iOS and OS X. Thank you for all your great work.

I have been told by apple they need as many other people to suggest this menu addition to put forward to its software engineerrs so if you like me think it is a good please contact apple to suggest it .
