handytech braillestar 40/0 and 10.9

2013-11-13 Thread Peter Durieux
Hi listers,

What I have heard of a friend of mine is that he has issues with his Handytech 
under 10.9. 
The braille display won't be found, when he boots from the recovery, braille 
goes well.
Anyone else experienced this one? :)

(this prevent me from upgrading to 10.9)

tia 

-Peter

Crome and Mac.

2013-11-13 Thread Sean Murphy
Hi all.

I have just started to use Crome with CromeVox and Voice-Over working at the 
same time. The latest version is far more impressive then the previous 
versions. Anyone else on the list using Crome?

Re: Focus display and Mavericks

2013-11-13 Thread Sean Murphy
Hi,

How do you permit your braille cursor to navigate the app without moving the 
keyboard or voice-over cursor, or is the voice-over cursor the Brialle cursor?

1password

2013-11-13 Thread Paul Erkens
Dear listers,

I'm running into some interface issues with the new version of 1password. How 
can I create a new password in 1password version 4?

Here's what I'm trying to do.
I open 1password, and just as in version 3, I can go to the sidebar, interact, 
and find the passwords item there. Once selected, I stop interacting and I then 
open the file menu and choose: new password. A new dialog comes up.

Here, I land in a field where I assume I can specify the purpose of the new 
password. I see 4 items here: from left to right an image, then an edit field 
for the purpose, then a favorite checkbox, and a share button. Obviously, all I 
need is the edit field, so I type in what this new password will be for.

After typing that in, I'd like to generate a secure password, which gave no 
problems at all in the previous version. Now, I stop interacting, to broaden 
the focus of things I can look at. I then find, that I'm on favorite, unchecked 
checkbox, so I move right. I then hear the sound of a popover appearing, and 
I'm stuck. It says that my password is 1% strength, which is bad of course. So 
how can I proceed from here? I don't see a password at all. I used to see a 
field with the newly generated password, and some sliders beside it, to adjust 
its complexity. Now, I'm stuck in this popover, and my focus in VO is randomly 
being reset to just before the toolbar, so I'm being flung away from where I 
was looking. If you know how to get around this, please let me know. 
Thanks,
Paul.

Re: Focus display and Mavericks

2013-11-13 Thread Ben van Poppel
There’s no real way of moving an independent Braille cursor, saved for the 
ability to pan the display. The VO cursor expands the word you’re on (not being 
able to turn this off is a pity), e.g. when you’re panning through a document 
in TextEdit or such., and gets highlighted in other contexts, but it eventually 
jumps to the next element as you pan to that new element.

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

my Braille Edge, it has some keys on it that will bring up Spotlight and the

It’s s-chord (dots 2-3-4-space). I just use the panning keys to display 
different areas of the menu bar, and then use the cursor-routing keys on the 
item I want. sometimes this doesn’t work, and I have to use dot 4-chord and dot

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.

Look at Tidbits.com this week thereis a article About fixing genres in
iBooks that includes the process of moving the book to the desktop.
Apparently the library folder that contains books uses random names for the

Re: Focus display and Mavericks

Hi there
Okay, you want to press the space with the bb sign in order to select the 
previous roter item. Then you press dots 5-6 to select the next roter item. I 
am busy making a file of general brill display commands. I think they are in 
the voice over menu anyway, but I have looked there lately. When I get it done, 
do you want it? I'll have to do it a little later since I am about to get ready 
and get on the bus.

Re: Focus display and Mavericks

2013-11-13 Thread Eugenia Firth
Hi there again
I haven't got on the bus yet, and I was thinking about what I had said last 
time. I just realized I said wrong. The command I sent to you before was going 
from different rotor items to and from. Other rotor items. I'm not sure, but I 
think if you roll that wheel on the focus 40 that it will start selecting text. 
I seem to remember that I would forget and Wohlt and it would start selecting 
text for me when I didn't want it. It may work to first set the rotor two words 
or lines as you need them and then use the wheel.

Gigi

Re: Is it true in Mavericks that iTunes contact syncing has gone?

No I agree. Syncing to the cloud is the way forward. I reckon one day

tablet computer. That seems to be the vision of companies like Apple anyway.

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

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

Re: can't activate the see more link on the facebook mobile site and creating signatures in apple mail

2013-11-13 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi Andrew,

In facebook, interact with the heading, find the link and activate it. This 
happens in some pages, but not all.

In Mail, press command-comma to go to preferences. find the signatures button 
and press it. Here you’ll find information about customizing your signature. 
Make sure you aren’t interacting with any tables and find the add button. Do 
this with VO navigation. Type your name and signature in the fields. Then 
dismiss the preferences dialog.

out how to find formatting changes.

Re: 1password

2013-11-13 Thread Nicholas Parsons
Sorry, I can't work this out either. I usually just log into a website and let 
1Password Mini save the login item for me. I'm happy making up my own 
passwords. I can't work out how to get 1Password to generate passwords though 
in version 4 which is not good seeing as this is one of the main features it 
advertises.
Best of luck—I hope someone else can be of more help.

Dear listers,

I'm running into some interface issues with the new version of 1password. How 
can I create a new password in 1password version 4?

Here's what I'm trying to do.
I open 1password, and just as in version 3, I can go to the sidebar, interact, 
and find the passwords item there. Once selected, I stop interacting and I then 
open the file menu and choose: new password. A new dialog comes up.

Here, I land in a field where I assume I can specify the purpose of the new 
password. I see 4 items here: from left to right an image, then an edit field 
for the purpose, then a favorite checkbox, and a share button. Obviously, all I 
need is the edit field, so I type in what this new password will be for.

After typing that in, I'd like to generate a secure password, which gave no 
problems at all in the previous version. Now, I stop interacting, to broaden 
the focus of things I can look at. I then find, that I'm on favorite, unchecked 
checkbox, so I move right. I then hear the sound of a popover appearing, and 
I'm stuck. It says that my password is 1% strength, which is bad of course. So 
how can I proceed from here? I don't see a password at all. I used to see a 
field with the newly generated password, and some sliders beside it, to adjust 
its complexity. Now, I'm stuck in this popover, and my focus in VO is randomly 
being reset to just before the toolbar, so I'm being flung away from where I 
was looking. If you know how to get around this, please let me know. 
Thanks,
Paul.

That is the subject of my open case with Apple. I just discovered, much to my

it's not just the Mac. 

If your friend is using his computer, see if it will work with the USB cable. 
Mine does.

Re: Track Changes or Text Attributes with Pages

2013-11-13 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Ibraheem,

My husband and I teach a Pages course via Skype and teamviewer. We’re currently 
updating the materials for Mavericks and the new Pages.

We charge €25 per unit and there are 5 units. However, not everyone wants all 
the units.

The price is in euros because we live in France and, of course, you have to 
take into consideration time differences between France and wherever you are.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Is it true in Mavericks that iTunes contact syncing has gone?

2013-11-13 Thread Daniel Miller
I'm sorry for all the weird words in the message, I was using dictation for 
that. LOL. But yes, I do agree. I think people should use iCloud to sync their 
contacts and calendars with their phones. Pretty soon, everything is going to 
be the way of the cloud anyway, so you might as well get used to it now.

Re: Is it true in Mavericks that iTunes contact syncing has gone?

2013-11-13 Thread Ray Foret Jr
Synching to the cloud is the way to go.  The cloud has saved my tail at least 
twice when it comes to contacts, book marks, and license key documents.  Drob 
box does great for storing disk images of apps.  Between those two sources, 
reinstalls, when necessary, are practically no effort at all.

mac minny wireless keyboard again

2013-11-13 Thread Gene Baroni
Thanks to everyone's help with my keyboard problem. I had to do a remote 
session with Apple to connect it. The rep created an incident report and passed 
up the chain. He said they would probably fix it in an update.

Driver question

2013-11-13 Thread Tim Emmons
Hi guys, I have a situation and any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a 
Romeo Pro 50, on a Mac mini running Mountainlion. I am using Louis Braille the 
free translator, and a usb to serial or parallel not sure which one, I think 
it's the latter, anyway. I have the printer connected, and know the printer is 
communicating with the mac. I tried to add printer and picked something and it 
shot out a ton of gibberish so I know that even though that wasn't the right 
driver it does communicate with the connector and the Mac.  We have migrated 
from windows here at work, and I really don't want to have to go back and use 
duxbury and windows for just this, if possible. Is there a driver, that will 
work to make the Romeo pro 50 single-sided printer work with the mac as an 
embossing option under Louis braille, or am I totally missing something. I know 
that there are no braille translation solutions for the mac outside of the 
Louis braille and not even sure it is still being supported even though it is 
an awesome addition. Anyway, if you could help that would be great. Let me know 
what driver if any will work, or if there is a programmer out there that really 
wants to tackle something I don't care what the driver looks like as long as it 
runs. Thanks for any help you can give. Take care and talk to you soon.

Re: Is it true in Mavericks that iTunes contact syncing has gone?

2013-11-13 Thread Teresa Cochran
Yes, I agree. At this point, there’s one app iTunes won’t sync for me which 
iCloud will. I do admit that iTunes was faster when putting a whole bunch of 
apps on my iPod at once, but otherwise, I am using the cloud more and more.

Two Unrelated Issues: Messages on the Mac not working correctly and how do I get rid of a huge block of "reply to" recipients in my contacts list

2013-11-13 Thread Christine Grassman
Howdy all.  I have a MacBook with Mountain Lion, and I cannot read my messages 
on it.  It tells me, for example, that I have two unread messages, but I can't 
find them. they are on my iPhone, but I cannot get to them on the Mac. All 
Messages does on the Mac is put me in a position to compose or add a recipient, 
not to read anything.

As to my contacts list, I have a ridiculous amount of "contacts" which consist 
of "reply to" recipients, such as Facebook replies. How can I:
a. get rid of them all at once, and 
b. prevent such addresses from being saved as contacts in the first place?
Thanks.

The airplane sound was custom, and I’ve figured out it was an error sound.  I

I must have played the airplane sound last.

How do I change system voice?

2013-11-13 Thread Lisette Wesseling
Hi folks,
I’ve looked but can’t find where to change the system voice for the Mac. I had 
Serena as my system voice before upgrading, but now Alex is back and, sorry, 
but I am not a big fan of his. I don’t mean voice over, but the system voice 
which tells you when a reminder notification comes up or when your battery is 
going flat. VO voices are all fine. 
I’ve looked in system prefes but for the life of me can’t find it.
Thanks for any help.

Re: VO-J and Mail

Hello,
I have found that the vo + j does not always register.  If you hear 
:interacting with text area”, you will be able to read the message line by line 
with the up/down arrow keys.  I often need to hit vo+j twice before it is 
recognized.

Re: Is it true in Mavericks that iTunes contact syncing has gone?

Ok guys, I accept the cloud for what's it worth.
If I want to use it, how can I insure that all my contacts from iPhone to mac

2013-11-13 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

Just make sure that Contacts is on in Settings/iCloud on your iPhone and that 
Contacts is checked on in the Services Table in the iCloud pane of System Prefs 
on your Mac.  That should do it.  After the sync is complete, just navigate 
over to the Groups Table and select iCloud to see what contacts were moved up 
to the Cloud.  If everything is good in the iCloud list, then, if you’re brave, 
you can get rid of the same list of contacts from the On My Mac section.  This 
way, you shouldn’t get duplicates and you’ll ensure that when you update a 
specific contact, it’s the one that will be synced with your iPhone.

Hi,

They have changed the commands. Now it is control + command, rather then 
control + alt which it was previously. Voice-Over works in the menus and 
address bar. While Vox works in the HTML area.

How well is terminal working in Mavericks?

2013-11-13 Thread Garry Turkington
Hi,

Looking through the list I see several people are using the OS X
terminal on a regular basis.  Is the terminal accessibility any better
in Mavericks than earlier versions?

I always found terminal accessibility a bit of a pain on the Mac and I
try it again every few versions.  Last time around -- with Snow
Leopard -- it was generally usable but things like not getting  the
output of commands read  and always having to review after every
command really started to grate after an hour or two.  But I've beaten
another laptop to death and if I felt I could live in the Mac terminal
for a chunk of my day then that would be  a possibility -- with the
terminal accessibility as it was though it was a deal breaker.
Otherwise I'd be  running a Linux VM under Fusion and that doesn't buy
me much.  Use case is primarily software development on a range of
remote hosts as well as a chunk of sysadmin and DBA type work.

Any input gratefully received!
Garry

Associating Braille tables with a voice in activities Vloiceover doesn't seem to work

2013-11-13 Thread Andrew Lamanche

Dear Listers,

I've just spent an inordinate amount of time trying to set up a new 
activity in Voiceover utilities that would associate a Braille 
translation table with a particular voice so that if I should choose it, 
my Braille tables will have changed automatically. When I saw that such 
a choice existed, I got really excited. The trouble is that this 
association doesn't seem to stick. Has anyone else had a go and 
succeeded to do so? I don't want to report it in case I'm making a 
mistake somewhere.


Best wishes

Andrew

Re: How well is terminal working in Mavericks?

2013-11-13 Thread Ben van Poppel
It’s definitely not as good as using Speakup, Emacspeak, DOS screen readers 
etc. I use it happily enough, but my job doesn’t depend on it. Emacspeak more 
or less works on the Mac, but you have to like Emacs (which I do though many 
venerable persons don’t) and it can be time-consuming to tweak initially. 
Terminal isn’t terrible though, especially if you’ve got quicknav on and can 
review output quickly just with the arrow keys. Of course that clashes with 
history, but the trackpad might be a good substitute as well.

Chers. Ben

xcode5:resolution to drag and drop

2013-11-13 Thread Littlefield, Tyler

hello:
Just a quick update. I played with this stupid drag and drop for a while 
and finally got it to work. here's the solution.
With your nib or storyboard open in one side and the file you want to 
work with on the other (in assistant editor), interact with the 
storyboard and find the table with the controls. interact with it and 
find the row with the control you need to work with. Move to the left 
column, use vo+space, route the mouse to the voiceover cursor with 
vo+command+f5, then fo+shift+space to click the mouse. move to your 
inspecter and find the outlet/action/etc you wish to use. vo+command+f5 
again, vo+shift+f3 to turn off cursor tracking, vo+command+shift+space 
to lock the mouse button down. move to the asisstant editor and 
vo+command+f5 to move the mouse there, wait until you hear xcode has new 
window, then vo+command+shift+space and then turn cursor tracking back on.

Re: xcode5:resolution to drag and drop

2013-11-13 Thread Barry Hadder
Good job.
I guess I just assumed you had those opened side by side and didn’t think to 
ask.
You can just select a control in the table with keyboard focus as normal and 
you don’t need that step of routing the mouse to the control.
You don’t need to turn cursor tracking off for this, but doesn’t matter if you 
feel more comfortable doing that.

Re: xcode5:resolution to drag and drop

2013-11-13 Thread Littlefield, Tyler
I always did have them open side by side. the bit about clicking the 
control was the only way I can actually make this work. the method 
mentioned before doesn't work for me, maybe it's an XCode 5 issue--I'm 
not really sure.

I guess I just assumed you had those opened side by side and didn’t think to 
ask.
You can just select a control in the table with keyboard focus as normal and 
you don’t need that step of routing the mouse to the control.
You don’t need to turn cursor tracking off for this, but doesn’t matter if you 
feel more comfortable doing that.

With your nib or storyboard open in one side and the file you want to work with 
on the other (in assistant editor), interact with the storyboard and find the 
table with the controls. interact with it and find the row with the control you 
need to work with. Move to the left column, use vo+space, route the mouse to 
the voiceover cursor with vo+command+f5, then fo+shift+space to click the

Re: Track Changes or Text Attributes with Pages

Anne,
I might be interested in something like this.  I have been disappointed in my 
inability to master Pages on Mac as well as I have MS Word on Windows, but I 
see you post about many of the things I have found frustrating.  Do you have a 
description anywhere listing what kind of materials are in each unit?

Thanks,
Greg

 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.

Re: Is Winamp accessivle on the mac?

2013-11-13 Thread Chris Blouch
Right. In preferences in iTunesin the toolbar select the Playback 
button. Stop interacting and the next item should be the Crossfade songs 
checkbox. With that turned on you can pick the time from 1 to 12 
seconds. That said, if the current track has four seconds of silence at 
the end the crossfade isn't going to sound quite the way you would expect.

best way to import music into itunes

I have a couple of mp3 tracks on an sd which I’d like to import into my itunes 
library.  Would I use “add to library” and then paste the filenames in or is 
there a better way.

Thanks much,

Re: best way to import music into itunes

2013-11-13 Thread Ray Foret Jr
When you add stuff to your ITunes Library, best is to use cmd+o and then use 
the regular file browser dialog which pops up.  You do not just paste names of 
files in to this but use it to open files like any open file dialog.  Make 
sure, however, that all your meta data tagging is correct as to album, artist, 
and so on.  If you need to , you can use ITunes to correct any missing or bad 
tags.
