Re: help with voices and dates
Why don't you Americans start writing your dates the right way around then you wouldn't have any problem. ;) Seriously though, changing the date format in system preferences might solve some of your problems. If Mail displayed the received/sent date in the Australian format, then Karen would read it correctly. However, she would still mess up dates that are in the US format in other places.

Problem Creating Folders on iPad Air Running iOS 7
HI, I think someone else posted about this, but I can't now find it. I just bought a new iPad Air today but am having problems creating folders. I double tap on an app and it says moving. All fine. I move it and it says, for instance, on Kindle, indicating it's on the Kindle app. However, it doesn't play the noise to say it's creating a folder, it doesn't create a folder and if I just drop it the app goes back to it's original location. Resetting the iPad hasn't done anything. Any and all help welcome. Thanks! Nic -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Web Spots?

Web spots are a very quick way to navigate a web page that you visit frequently and jump from one spot on the page to another. You can pretty much set a web spot anywhere, I have used them to mark links headings and even text if I am reading something that is long and want to come back to the page and pick up reading where I left off. To set a web spot all you have to do is hit VO command shift right bracket and it sets a web spot where you are. You can set as many as you like and use VO command right and left bracket to jump from one to the next give it a try and you will probably love them.

Re: help with voices and dates
So just out of curiosity, what does the Australian date format look like? Americans use month month dash day day dash year year, as far as I'm aware. In our country, which is the Netherlands in Europe, we use day day slash month month slash year year. Because my computer is always set to language US, but the region is Netherlands, I'm not surprised the voices are having trouble speaking dates, because on my machine, I created the date conflict myself because I want my machine to be US, but not my dates, to communicate naturally with my fellow native Dutch speakers. How do you write your dates in Australia? Paul.

Re: Time Machine Backup failed
Hi, I had this happen to me a few months ago, before Mavericks came out. It appeared that my computer got renamed. Just once, I saw a dialog, saying that my computer name, mac mini, was already on the network. That message was in error, because all I did was reboot my mini, and when it came on and attempted to join the network, the rename happened. It's now called mac mini (2). Since that day, my time machine gave errors, and what solved it for me, was to re select my destination backup drive. Hth? Paul.

Re: It looks like search is broken in iTunes on the iPhone
Hi Aser If I go into Music, and choose the Store option, and then choose Search, I get a blank screen except for the items on the bottom of the screen and the Search heading. What I don't get is either a way to go back—like if I had a previous search—or a way to type in the search. That is, I can't double tap on the search field because it's not there and there is not way to get it up there. VoiceOver just makes that noise it makes when there is a picture on the screen. That's why I got my sighted husband to look. He didn't see a graphic either.

Re: using my brailleSense as a braille display on my macbook air
Hi there I think you need to turn dots 7 and 8 off. If you go to to the VoiceOver utility, and go under braille, you should find it there. Try that and see if that helps. If that doesn't work, and you are reading brf files, you may have to do a transformation. Let me know if it works to urn off dots 7 and 8 or if you need to know how to do a transformation on brf files.

Re: help with voices and dates
In Australia we use day month year. It can be written in many ways. The most formal way is for the number for the day, the month written in full or abbreviated words, and then the year as a two or four digit number (e.g. 12 November 2013—that's the most formal way). It's more common to be written all as numbers, however, in the format day month year, where day and month are two digit numbers, but the year can either be a two digit or four digit number. The punctuation between can either be a dash, slash or full stop. The most common of these is probably the same as you guys: dd/mm/ – at least so far as computers go.

Most Nuance voices do their own date formatting whenever they think they need to, which gets very annoying. Not only are dates formatted differently for different regions, but often the date formatting is inappropriate. For instance, I currently have Dropbox 2.4.6, which Ava says normally. Serena, though, always told me I had Dropbox “the second of April, 2006” or something similar. To answer the question, though, I am pretty sure there is nothing to be done since the logic for dates, money amounts, and so on is all part of the individual voice. >>> >>> -- >>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >>> "MacVisionaries" group. >>> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >>> email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >>> To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. >>> Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries. >>> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "MacVisionaries" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >> email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >> To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. >> Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries. >> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Track Changes or Text Attributes with Pages
Hi all, I’ve been working on a document which has been past through several people with the track changes feature turned on. To my understanding, there’s suppose to be a purple highlight on any changes made to the document. As I’m in pages, I noticed the view file pop up which contains an option to view markups or view markups and deletions. I chose to view markups. I know that in order to check text attributes we press VO + T. However, this only works for text which VO is focused on. Is there a way to have VO jump to the next change in text attributes? I'm dreading the thought of having to check line by line with the vo + t command. Thanks! Ibraheem -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Track Changes or Text Attributes with Pages
Unfortunately, to my knowledge VoiceOver still does not work fully with track changes. Track changes do not only highlight changes, but it also indicates whether the change is a deletion or an addition, or a format change. Anne Robertson, who is the guru on Pages with VoiceOver and on this list can probably give you more information. I believe she was able to get some use from track changes but it's not fully accessible.

Using Preview
Hi all, Is there a way to read a PDF with the single page view while having the ability to move forward one page at a time? I use to be able to do this with SL with no problem, but I can’t wrap my head around why its not working for me on Mavericks. I went to the view menu, set it to single page. Then when I interact with the PDF’s text, then press VO + down arrow to read line by line, Vø seems to read the page and everything beyond it. Before, I use to get the “you just crashed into a wall sound” once I made it to the bottom of the page, now it just jumps to the next page like one huge scroll. Also, I use to press Fn + down arrow to move to the next page, but for some reason nothing seems to happen when I press this command. I hear VO say “down” but the page remains the same. Am I missing something here? Thanks! Ibraheem -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Using Preview
Hi, To go down a page, you now have to stop interacting with the page. Then do page down. I want to also point out that reopening Preview doesn't put you on the last viewed page in single page view. It only does that in continuous scroll. They have definitely improved how some text is read, but in my opinion they’ve messed up a lot of basic reader functionality. I’ve tried conveying some of my concerns about this to Apple, but they all seem to go unheeded.

Focus display and Mavericks
This may have been discussed before, but I have to try again. I would like to use my Focus 40 Blue with my Mac Mini. I would prefer not to have to use another keyboard along with it. Are there any ways to add important keystrokes like switching between open programs and closing a window or program, etc? Along with that is it truly possible to cut and paste and manipulate text?

Re: Using Preview
Hey, Thanks for the tip. I realized why I was getting confused. When I’m no longer interacting wight he text and I hit page down the first time, it jumps to the first page of the entire PDF, then when I hit page down the second time, it jumps to the next page from the one I was previously reading. Basically, I have to hit FN + down arrow twice to move over a single page. This stinks LOL. I didn’t know that it doesn’t save where you were last reading in single page view. I’ll be sure to make note of the page I left off at for future reference. Thanks a lot!

Re: Focus display and Mavericks
Hi, Kristeen, I have a focus 40 Blue and use it constantly with Mavericks. I haven’t tried assigning keystrokes for selecting text, etc. but there’s a good chance it can be done. In the vO utility, you can go to Braille and view the assigned commands for your Braille display and modify or assign new ones. There’s a lot of stuff in there, so have fun exploring. :) HtH, Teresa "The Golden Age of science fiction is twelve."--Pete Graham On Nov 12, 2013, at 9:31 AM, Kristeen Hughes wrote: > This may have been discussed before, but I have to try again.

Is it true in Mavericks that iTunes contact syncing has gone?
Hi all, just wondering if the above subject line is true. Apparently, I found some articles on the net that say that it is no longer possible to sink your contacts from iPhone to mac via USB cabel but one is forced to use iCloud. Personally I don't use iCloud and I don't know about others but for me I personally don't use iCloud and for some reason wouldn't feel safe or like the idea of submitting my contacts up into the cloud. I mean I'm no criminal lol but stripping this functionality away from my mac, iPhone and iTunes I feel isn't really fair on the end user espually if they've upgraded to 10.9 and have this thrown upon them. I am more than happy to submit stuff into the cloud but contacts for my part and for others is something I won't do for any cloud service. I just wondered if it is true and how do others feel about the change. Also just so you know, I'm not old lol I'm for change but for me this feels like its going in the wrong direction. I like the idea of syncing to iTunes and having my iPhone and mac backup to the software locally. That's me. How about you guys do you like the new move? If its is true that is and I'm sure someone on here will confirm. Thank you Daniel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Is it true in Mavericks that iTunes contact syncing has gone?
Well I put my contacts into the cloud and am not concerned one bit. I have every faith in Apple. Yes things go wrong but don't every company make mistakes and hopefully learn by them? I hope it's not true either but personally I sync absolutely everything to the cloud including contacts. I can understand though if they have personal or business addresses in them but none of my contacts do. The majority just have a number, others have both a number and e-mail address, the rest just have an e-mail address.

How does one get to menu extra in Maverick?
Dear Listers, I’ve just upgraded to Mavericks. The very first thing I’ve noticed is that the command ctrl+f8 to activate the menu extra no longer works. Nor can I open a folder with command down arrow or command + o. It has to be now command + shift + o. Is that right?

Re: How does one get to menu extra in Maverick?
Odd. control-f8 works fine for me in Mavericks. This is the standard non-VO keystroke. For that matter, VO-m twice quickly also works. Sometimes the menus balk when a program is hanging, though.

Help with Skype
Ok, so I get that Skype changed a bunch of stuff recently and I can no longer access Skype on my iPhone as they seem to have gotten rid of logging in through Facebook. I am able to log in to Skype on my computer through Facebook, but can't seem to find any way to change my password so I can access Skype on my iPhone. I used the Skype desktop app to take me to the website to mange my account, clicked change password but this seems to take me to an inaccessible screen as I get the heading for Change Password but then there is nothing to interact with. Anyone know how to log in to Skype on your iPhone when your account was created through logging in to Facebook on the desktop?

Re: Focus display and Mavericks
Admittedly, yes, I’m also using a keyboard. My opinion is that you’ll probably have to do quite a lot of customizing to use a Braille display as a primary keyboard. For switching apps, I’d probably map a braille keystroke to VO-applications list. (VO-f1 twice quickly)I don’t think there’s an easy way to map one to command-tab.

Re: Track Changes or Text Attributes with Pages
Hello Ibraheem, In the new Pages, if you stop interacting with everything, the second item on the page is the Change tracking and annotations toolbar group. Interact with this and click the Next button the changed text will be highlighted. You can read it with VO-F6 and decide what to do about it. If you’re using the old version of Pages, you really need a Braille display to see the changes.

Re: How does one get to menu extra in Maverick?
Hi, I have run into that situation several times where control-f8 doesn’t work with Mavericks. I’ve found that when it doesn’t work, I have to restart to git it back. I have no idea what causes this. It is true that you can git to the status menus with vo-m twice, but you can’t move through the menus with the arrow keys, and sometimes that’s useful. The Finder keystrokes you mention work the same in Mavericks. At least, they are for me. On Nov 12, 2013, at 2:59 PM, Andrew Lamanche wrote: Dear Listers, I’ve just upgraded to Mavericks.

Re: xcode 5 question
Hello: sorry for the double message. Yes, in my routing step I did mean route the mouse to the voiceover cursor. I just mixed the two up.

Re: xcode 5 question
I think I may have figured out the issue. with xcode 5 apparently you are supposed to control+drag, which draws a blue line. clicking and holding down doesn't work, because I don't get the blue line. Is there a way to control+drag with voiceover?

Re: xcode 5 question
It appears this method does not work for me as well. I drag and drop and hear 'xcode has new window" and that's that. nothing happens and we're back to square 1. On 11/11/2013 6:32 PM, Alex Hall wrote: Believe me, you have no idea how badly I would love to use interface builder. The problem is that the method for using interface builder as described here and in other places, that of routing the mouse and then dragging, has never once worked for me. If there's another way, or if Xcode5 fixed these particular accessibility problems, please let me know. I realize that interface builder is the usual way of doing things, and I do know that it would be much easier if I were able to use it. The problem is that I simply cannot, at least as things stand right now. Again, if something has been updated and now works better, please let me know.

So, there is no way to not use it.When you use interface builder, all you are not doing by had is instantiating your ui. To do that requires much more code, and more code equals more bugs. That is the reason for using design tools like this. There are times when it is necessary to do more by hand and it isn’t an academic question as to when you should do this. In the course of your development, you will know when you need to do something in this way. However, now that IB is accessible, most of the time there isn’t any reason not to use it. Your project will be much easier to maintain. On Nov 11, 2013, at 12:34 PM, Alex Hall wrote: I’ve never gotten that to work, and I’d recommend coding your UI manually if possible.

Re: Focus display and Mavericks
True duys, but I know I can get to the menu with my braille display. I c' remember how to do it on a Focus 40 although I had one. Can anyone remember what the braille keyboard command is for going to the menu and using left and right arrows. I found that useful when I was somewhat away from my computer. On my Braille Edge, it has some keys on it that will bring up Spotlight and the menus and the dock. That may help some. For instance, space dd sign will bring up the dock. Space question mark will let you interact and space low j will stop interacting. Do you have a list of braille key commands that are already in place?

Menu Command, was Re: Focus display and Mavericks
It’s s-chord (dots 2-3-4-space).

VO-J and Mail
Hello Everyone, When I use VO-J to jump from the message list to an individual email,a few lines are read and then without my doing anything, I’m back in the messages table. This does not only happen with my Gmail account. I am using the default mail view and I have not made any changes. This behavior started a few days ago. Any suggestions?

Re: Focus display and Mavericks
Hi Kristeen, Teresa and the rest. The workaround I did for single-keystroke app
switching was to write two scripts to simulate command-tab and
command-shift-tab respectively. Then I assigned running of the scripts to focus
commands (I used 12-chord and 45-chord). The scripts had one line each:
Tell application "System Events" to keystroke "tab" using command down
Tell application "System Events" to keystroke "tab" using {command down shift
down}
In the examples above the "tab" means double quote then press tab then double
quote again. \t might also be valid. I'm still not applescript proficient.
Hope that trick helps you out.
Cheers. Ben

Re: Focus display and Mavericks
Hi, Kristeen, This is the sort of thing that I meant when I mentioned customization. WHAT you’d have to do is go into your Braille settings, go to the display tab, choose “assign commands", and assign a Braille command to select text. There aren’t separate commands for selecting different amounts of text, so honestly, I’m not sure how you’d do this. Also, unless I’m wrong, you’d have to use command-b on the keyboard to initiate the Braille command entry. I haven’t assigned keystrokes for this, because frankly, it’s more trouble than it’s worth to me. Let’s see if anyone else has already done this, and if not, I’ll experiment with it and let you know what I come up with. I admit I have my doubts that it’ll be an easy process.
