blind developer: programming on the mac
Listers, Until 20 Years back, I used to be a visual basic for DOS programmer. I've been out of business because of medical issues since 1993. I would love to get back into coding, but so far, I have not been able to find an accessible programming environment on the mac. I used to code in an IDE, that's the integrated development environment, and now, 20 years later, I've tried several IDE's on the mac, all with no luck. What happens most of the time, is that the environment itself is not accessible, or at best very partially. Some have no windows to voiceover, some have menus but they don't open when you click an item, in some you can't see the code editor using voiceover, and that list goes on. One of the reasons I'd like to work in an IDE, is that the editor is then syntax aware as opposed to a separate, general purpose editor, you have an integrated step debugger, variables inspection windows, language and error help at hand, and the IDE itself can put together your executables. Does any of you have experience programming on the mac in modern, event driven basic? I took a look at real basic, objective basic, and pure basic, but due to their inaccessible IDE's, I'm hoping to find something better. All advice is welcome. Even learning a new language is okay for me. It's the result that count. regards, Paul. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: getting mac to see other pc's on my home network
Hi Don, One way to browse your lan with a mac, is to hit command k from finder, which brings up a connect to server dialog. You will land inside an edit field, where you can type your destination and protocol directly, but there's also a browse button. If your windows pc's don't show up right there, you can also enter the protocol prefix plus the server address yourself into the edit field. Say your windows pc is called JohnPC, and you have a share set up on it in windows. Then, you will have to tell the mac to access that computer using the SMB protocol, which is the networking protocol that windows machines use to communicate. After hitting command k from finder, you could type: smb://JohnPC Then, if you hit connect or enter, and your mac did find the JohnPC on your lan, you can log in and it will ask you which volumes you want to mount, or in windows wording, which shares you want access to. Select them in the listbox, and they will mount on your desktop. Note: if the computer name does not work, you can also get your windows machine's IP address, and connect to it this way: >From finder do the command k. In the dialog, you land in the edit field for >direct access. Type: smb://192.168.0.5, which will do the same thing. Of course, the IP address I mention is arbitrary for the example. File sharing should only be turned on on your mac, if you want to be able to access your mac's files from one of your windows computers. So, from the mac going out to windows, file sharing need not be enabled. Only if the mac shares out files, then turn file sharing on. Hth, Paul.

Re: working with automater
I’ve only just started, and plan to make a podcast soon. In the meantime: 1. Launch it and hit cmd-n to make a new file. Choose the template you want (I am working with a Workflow for now) and hit enter. 2. Stop interacting a few times so you can get an overall sense of the layout. Find the toolbar and start there. 3. After the toolbar are two checkboxes, one for the actions you can drop into your workflow, the other for variables you may use. Leave Actions checked for now. After those is a search box to find a certain action. 4. After a vertical splitter is your workflow. Interact with it and you can vo-arrow between all the actions you’ve added so far. Interact with each to adjust settings or options on that action. 5. After the workflow is something called “actions descriptions split view split group”, which holds all the actions. Interact with it and you’ll find an “actions library split view split group”, inside which are two tables. Choose the category of the action you want from the first table, library actions, and then the action you want from the second table, called actions. To add an action, move to it and press enter. If you move out of that second split group, then vo-right, you will come to a scroll area if the selected action has a description. Inside that scroll area is text explaining what the action does, as well as a table of inputs and outputs, again only if the action defines them. 6. After that group are a few buttons that don’t seem to do anything as far as I can tell, and that’s all there is to it. As I said, I’m still exploring and getting used to this, but that is what I have so far after a couple hours of playing with Automator. My impression is that it is much easier to work with in mavericks, but I could be wrong about that as I only used it once in Mountain Lion.

Re: Changing xml extension to html for bookshare books . . .
don’t open it, go to your file list, press enter on the file instead of opening it. you can then rename it by deleting the xml part, and type in html, then open the file again. It will ask you if you’re sure you want to change it, and you say yes of course.

Re: blind developer: programming on the mac
hello: I've not touched Basic in a long time--you'll find it's not really used much anymore in terms of desktop applications. Apple uses Objective-C for it's desktop and IOS development. While you can use Python or C++ with WxWidgets or something, it's easier to use what they want, especially if you want your apps on the app store. Given this, you have a few choices; you can use XCode or you can get Emacspeak running and use Emacs. I personally prefer Emacs to XCode, but I've been using it more for IOS stuff lately. It's more accessible than it was, but if you've ever used a good ide like Visual Studio you'll miss it every time you have to jump through 5 voiceover commands all requiring you hit 5 keys at once to move an object to the interface builder.

Re: working with automater
There's a podcast series on Automator, but not from a VoiceOver perspective. It's called Mac Automation Made Simple with Ben Waldie.

Bookmark App is free today (November 6, 2013) [was Re: Chapters in audio books in iOS 7]
Hi Jürgen, Nic, Brett, and Other iOS Audiobook listeners, While the problem of audiobooks lacking chapter organization in the iOS 7 music app remains, the Bookmark app, which makes it easy to set multiple custom bookmarks and notes, and also to navigate through large time intervals with a time ribbon slider, has reappeared in the App Store, and is free today. I was going to suggest this as a way to get around having to scrub through the entire book if you lose your place when the first posts about this problem appeared in September, but this app has not been available for a few months, and the original support web site pages have also been offline. The Bookmark app reappeared in the app store today, and is currently free. Although it hasn't been updated in quite a while, it still works. Here's the App Store URL: • Bookmark (used to be $2.99, now free) by Dockmarket LLC https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bookmark/id326290323?mt=8 There are a few caveats: the entries on the Settings & Info screen for the Tutorial, FAQ, and Settings point to the web site, and so will not work. This app was a labor of love by someone who worked in a different area, but wanted an audiobook listening app for his own purposes early on. He completely rewrote the app a few years ago, and made the time ribbon slider for navigating through long audiobooks accessible to VoiceOver. I suspect that he doesn't have time to do the app development now, especially with the iOS 7 changes, but likely the current issue with chapter navigation in iOS7 with iTunes 11 still being unresolved may have prompted the return of this app (without a fee). If this is the case, you may not get much support for dealing with audiobook problems that Apple itself hasn't fixed. I'm just glad that they brought the app back, even though I already had a copy. Since it works through files in your iTunes library and the music app, it will work with all authorized audiobook formats: ones without DRM that you created through third party applications, audiobooks purchased through the iTunes Store, and Audible audiobooks. And while it won't keep track of chapter markers, you can set multiple bookmarks (and notes), and navigate easily with larger time intervals (that you can customize if you don't want the default intervals). It's also neat to use the sleep timer feature and set this up so that you can rock your phone to have it continue to play for youer customized additional time interval. I'll append copies I saved of the old tutorial and faq information, and also an excerpt from a viphone list post I made (before Mail Archiving was enabled for that group). • Bookmark Tutorial Getting Audiobooks Bookmark works with any audiobooks that are on the iPod app in your iPhone or iPod Touch. The simplest way to purchase audiobooks is through iTunes on your computer. Open iTunes and click on iTunes Store: Once in the store, click on “Audiobooks” at the top of the window: After you purchase one or more books and iTunes has downloaded them, they will appear in the “Books” section of your Library: To make sure the books are synced to your iPhone, connect your iPhone and click on the “Books” tab. Make sure “Sync Audiobooks” is checked: When you next sync your iPhone, the new audiobook(s) will be ready to go in Bookmark! Other options: You may purchase audiobooks on your iPhone by starting the iTunes app and choosing “More”, then “Audiobooks”. You may also purchase from Audible which has options for monthly plans, or download free public-domain audiobooks from sites like Librivox. Getting Podcasts Bookmark works with all podcasts synced to your iPhone or iPod Touch from iTunes. To subscribe to podcasts, click on “Podcasts” in iTunes, then click “Podcast Directory” in the lower right of the window. Make sure “Sync Podcasts” is selected on the “Podcasts” tab of your iPhone or iPod Touch. After syncing, the tracks will be available in Bookmark. Bookmarks and Notes To create a bookmark anywhere in the book, just press the “Bookmark” button. You can customize the title by tapping in the top title field. To add or edit notes, tap in the lower section. After you tap “Save”, the bookmark will now be available by clicking on “Bookmarks” in the upper-right of the window. The bookmarks window lets you quickly listen to any bookmarks by clicking on a row. You may edit the bookmark or view notes by tapping the blue arrow on the right. To delete a bookmark, either tap “Delete” after tapping the title of the bookmark, or just swipe your finger from left-to-right over the bookmark and tap “Delete”. Sharing and Exporting To share your bookmarks and notes with others or export it for yourself, tap the “More” button, then “Email bookmarks”. A text summary of every bookmark and note will be formatted for emailing. Unfortunately, it is not technically possible at this time to save the audio of a bookmark for sharing. Bookma
Flash player in Mavericks
Hey all, Ever since upgrading to Mavericks, I've noticed that the flash player doesn't work on pretty much any webpage in safari unless it's set to auto play. The frame for the flash video will still be on the page but once I focus into the frame, there are no controls available to get it to do anything .This is with powersaver blocking a file or not, when I VO + spacebar, the frame disappears altogether. I also updated to the most recent version of adobe flash. Is anyone else having problems with this?

Quite an odd issue . . .
For some reason, every time I click on a link in mail, I receive an alert that no application is associated with this action, though in the past, (prior to ML reinstallation), the link would open without fail in Safari. How do I fix this, aside from copying and pasting the link in the Safari address bar? Christine -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Voice Ava
Hello all, I was listening to a podcast earlier, and I liked the voice the person was using. I think it was Ava, so I’m giving her a whirl. So far, I really like her; great quality, sort of soft & gentle, not so much in your face. I was mighty surprised to learn her size though. Sheesh, over 500 MB! Guess good quality takes up a lot of room, though Alex is a bit smaller. ;) Traci -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

iPhone Wi-Fi Won’t Turn On? Here’s What To Do
Hi, I saw recently where someone was having Wi-Fi issues with the iPhone. Just thought I’d post this in case someone else runs into similar issues. I hope this helps someone. Thanks, Jeffrey http://osxdaily.com/2013/11/06/iphone-wont-turn-on-connect-fix/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+osxdaily+%28OS+X+Daily%29 iPhone Wi-Fi Won’t Turn On? Here’s What To Do Most iPhone users have trouble-free use of their device whether it’s on a cellular connection or wi-fi, but wireless connectivity issues do occur from time to time. These type of problems can manifest in a variety of ways; sometimes the Wi-Fi on and off toggle switch is grey and unusable (sometimes resolved by simply quitting the Settings app and relaunching), sometimes the iPhone will appear to connect to a wi-fi router but no data will transfer, connection speeds are unusually slow, and other times the iPhone will simply refuse to connect to a wireless network at all. There isn’t a single unifying cause for these issues, and wi-fi connection problems can occur completely randomly, regardless of an iPhone model or iOS software version. We get a lot of questions about connectivity problems, and for most cases it’s an easy fix that is resolved quickly with a reboot or dumping network settings, but more stubborn cases may require a full software restore, while in extreme and rare occasions, contacting Apple’s official support channels is necessary due to actual hardware problems. If you run into wi-fi problems with your iPhone (or iPad and iPod touch for that matter), try out the following troubleshooting tricks to resolve the problem. 1: Forcibly Reboot the iPhone You can force any iOS device to restart by doing the following, this can sometimes resolve temporary issues and bugs that are encountered. It’s easy and quick so try this first: Hold down the Power button and the Home button simultaneously until the iPhone restarts Once the iPhone boots back up again, attempt to use wi-fi again. In some cases this fixes the issue immediately. 2: Reset Network Settings Resetting Network Settings dumps all existing network preferences, this causes things like wi-fi passwords, custom DNS, manual IP’s, and any other network specific settings information to be lost, so be sure to write down any important wi-fi details before doing this. This resolves the vast majority of wi-fi problems for most users: Open “Settings” and go to “General”, then go to “Reset” Choose “Reset Network Settings” and enter the device passcode, then confirm the settings reset When the network settings have finished resetting, try connecting to the Wi-Fi network again. Things should be hunky-dory at this point, but if not there remains a few other choices. 3: Backup & Restore Backing up and restoring an iPhone can be annoying but it will often resolve the most stubborn issues when resetting network settings and force rebooting the phone has failed. iCloud makes it fairly easy, though if you can’t connect to a wi-fi network that won’t be possible, and you’ll need to back up to iTunes instead. The following guides walk through this if you’re unfamiliar: Back up the iPhone using either iTunes or iCloud, preferably both to have dual backups available Restore from the backup and connect to wi-fi again This is not an overly complicated process, but it will take a little bit of time depending on how much data is stored on the iPhone, and depending on which method you use. A variation of this trick involves resetting the iPhone to factory default settings and setting it up as if it was brand new device. That adds another step to the restore process, but if wi-fi works and connections are fine under factory defaults, you can usually safely restore from backups. On the other hand, if the problem is fine under factory settings, but persists after restoring from the backups, you may have the very unusual situation of a corrupt backup, a rare situation. 4: Wi-Fi Still Not Working? Reset the Router, Contact Apple If the iPhone continues to have wi-fi connectivity issues, you may want to reset the actual Wi-Fi router itself, by turning it off and on again, some wi-fi routers are known to be finicky with iOS and can sometimes be the source of the problem. If the iPhone connects to the router but speeds are very slow, an effective strategy can be to use custom DNS through a provider like Google or OpenDNS, though such an issue is usually representative of an ISP (internet service provider) problem, and not an actual issue with the iPhone or wi-fi itself. If other iOS devices and computers connect to the wi-fi router and work flawlessly but the iPhone still won’t after trying the above steps, it may be time to contact Apple official support channels to determine if there is a physical hardware issue. Apple has an automated online troubleshooting guide that will gather data directly from the iPhone and attempt t
Re: Using Pages on the Mac

Bookmark App is free today (November 6, 2013) [was Re: Chapters in audio books in iOS 7]
Update on Bookmark App: the Tutorial, FAQs, and Guide to settings information information now all read from the "Info & Settings" screen of the app, and the developer's web page they point to can also now be accessed at: http://bookmarkapp.com However, the developer also includes a post dated October 31, 2013 that support for this app is ending, unless another developer is interested in taking up the effort.. The Bookmark App still works in many versions of iOS, including iOS 7, where its support of multiple bookmark locations (with notes) and navigation in customizable increments using the accessible "time ribbon slider" can assist audiobook listeners cope with the ongoing lack of support for chapters and chapter navigation under iOS 7. This may be why the Bookmark App reappeared today as a free app. I think it is still worth downloading, since it has many other nice features, such as the sleep timer mode where you can extend playing by simply rocking the device. Here's the App Store URL again: • Bookmark (used to be $2.99, now free) by Dockmarket LLC https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bookmark/id326290323?mt=8 HTH.

Re: Bookmark App is free today (November 6, 2013) [was Re: Chapters in audio books in iOS 7]
I've used this app, and have liked it. However, it's important to note that it will only add things to its library that are tagged as audiobooks. So, make sure any mp3 files you may have are retagged, or the app will not be able to read them.

Re: Using Pages on the Mac
In addition to hiding header and footer, check the setup box in the toolbar and go into the formatter. Then in document setup, uncheck the enable header and footer check boxes. It occurred to me that this might be more what you need to do for this.

Editing Problem In Text Edit
Hi Everybody, I think someone else has mentioned this problem, but I can’t remember what the answer was! This is the first time I have edited a document with TextEdit since I updated to Mavericks. I am editing my weekly Church Bulletin, and when I get to the top of the second page, voiceover stops speaking. If I interact with the text at that point, it will speak again, but I’m not in the habit of editing that way. Usually, I arrow through the document deleting what needs to be deleted and then moving forward. Can someone please remind me what I need to do to keep VoiceOver speaking throughout the entire document without having to interact? Thanks tons!

Re: Changing xml extension to html for bookshare books . . .
Try this, when VO is focused on the document name, bring up the context menu by pressing vo plus shift, plus M. Then go to get info. In there down a bit there is something called file name and extension disclosure triangle ( I can’t remember exactly what it’s called), Vo space on that if the disclosure triangle is not already expanded, and the disclosure triangle will open up. Then try changing the filename and extensions there. Good luck, I’ve never tried changing a file extension that way because the return key has always worked for me. I am using the latest mac OS, BTW. Also, I could have sworn at some point the context menu used to have a rename option but either I’m thinking of a different application or it has disappeared. :) Christina On Nov 6, 2013, at 7:51 AM, Christine Grassman wrote: > I must be missing something, because whenever I hit enter on a document name, > it opens. > (grin) > > On Nov 6, 2013, at 8:29 AM, alia robinson wrote: > >> don’t open it, go to your file list, press enter on the file instead of >> opening it. you can then rename it by deleting the xml part, and type in >> html, then open the file again.

Re: Changing xml extension to html for bookshare books . . .
I don’t know why it would. I either have to do vo/space or command/o to open a document in the finder.

Re: Editing Problem In Text Edit
Hi there I know how frustrating it is because you can't do almost anything in Mavericks with TextEdit if you don't press that command shift W I found out. At least, that's my experience, especially with a braille display. Regards, Gigi Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 6, 2013, at 4:35 PM, Desi Noller wrote: > > Hi Gigi, > > Thank you so much!

Re: Voice Ava

Re: Voice Ava
Oh thanks! I love this voice and I would not have known about it if you would not have let me know about this great voice if you had not brought it to my attention. :) I feel the Ava voice has a much more concise pronunciation of words. I feel like the words are spoken much more distinctly and not jumbled up. It’s just a personal preference. Everyone has a different taste. :) Christina -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

selecting non contiguous files under Mavricks a different process?
Okay, It would seem that selecting single or non contiguous files in Mavricks has changed. No longer can I interact with the table and use VO+up or down to select non contiguously and press Cmd+space to actually select files. Anybody know how to do this and where I might find instructions for doing this? Sent from my Mac, the only computer with full accessibility for the blind built-in!

Re: selecting non contiguous files under Mavricks a different process?
Good Day: The VO-command-space keystroke has simply been changed to VO-command-return. Other than that, the procedure for selecting non-contiguous items is identical to that in Mountain Lion.
