Re: A Question About Facebook

[David Taylor]

Hi,

It being a menubar app means it lives in the status menu which is accessed by 
vo-m-m but as it has a shortcut key, control-f which brings it into focus, you 
don't need to worry about that. Reading a newsfeed is very simple as you simply 
go into an HTML area and navigate.  If you use the desktop layout, heading 2 
takes you straight to news feed then you navigate by heading to get from status 
to status. You simply enter text in the comment field, press return, then go 
back to navigating by headings when you've done as you don't lose your place 
when you comment. I find it pretty good overall.

Cheers
Dave

Yes. Type, "osx" into the app store. You will need to pay $19.99 for it.

Re: Adding a contact to my iPhone

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

Contact Syncing via your iPhone is no longer supported through iOS 7 and 
Mavericks.  This must be done either via iCloud or some other third party 
solution. It works well through iCloud.  In your iCloud pane of System Prefs, 
make sure you’ve signed in to your iCloud account, and ensure that the Contacts 
service is checked within the Services Table.  On your iOS device, go into 
Settings/iCloud and do the same. .  All Contacts between these devices will 
automatically sync from now on via iCloud.

Re: can mountain lion be downloaded?

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

If you’ve purchased Mountain Lion in the past, it will be within your 
previously purchased items (cmd-4 while in the App Store). If your Mac was 
recently purchased and came with Mavericks, then you won’t be able to downgrade 
your MacOS.  You often also are restricted from downloading previous OS’s once 
you’ve installed the newer one.  That is, the new OS considers the older OS 
incompatible so won’t allow the download.  You can certainly work around this 
if you have a Mountain Lion install stick or have a computer with 10.6.8 or 
10.7.* where the download is totally possible.

HTH.

Re: A Question About Facebook

[Teresa Cochran]

MenuTab lets you present either the full website interface or the mobile 
interface on your desktop. You find it in the status menus, Press a keystroke 
to activate it, (control-f or command-f; I honestly don’t remember at this 
point) and it pops up. In my opinion, it’s pretty much the exact presentation 
as the web pages, so I mostly open Safari now. If I want to do a lot of 
activities, I go to the mobile site. If i just want to read, I go to the 
standard site, since it has headings. I should correct myself, because I 
believe the mobile site has headings now, too.

Hth,
Teresa

Re: can mountain lion be downloaded?

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

It does appear to be in the App Store but does not allow download at this time. 
 Not sure if that is a temporary issue or a global issue whereby it is no 
longer able to be purchased even though it appears within the Store.

Re: VMWare questions

[Phil Halton]

I have the windows volume set so that VO and Jaws sound at approximately the 
same level. Then I can boost or cut the volumes with the fn 11 & fn 12 keys if 
needed. Also, as to ram, I have windows 7 using the fusion recommended   1GB 
and 1 core on a 8GB MBA and I have no lag problems at all, except when windows 
gets busy with virus scanning or system updates etc.

Is there a way to quickly review the list of un-read messages in an inbox in apple mail.

[Daniel McGee]

Hi all, the story goes like this.

In my gmail account I have lots of messages. Yet, when I went to check my other 
account that I have and then went back to the gmail inbox it claimed that I had 
1 unread message.

I was just wondering, is there a way to set the viewing of messages to unread 
then turn it back to how it was before. Instead of going through all the 
messages at once. Obviously this would be a good technieck to have too. Should 
the occurrence happens again and indeed it has done in the past now and then.
An extra bit of information and that is I'm using the preview pain.

Thanks

Daniel

Re: VMWare questions

[Alex Hall]

I'll drop it back to 1gb and see if that helps. To equalize NVDA and Voiceover, 
Windows needs to be at about 90% volume. It's not a big deal, though I will 
need to remember to lower my speakers if I ever boot into that Bootcamp 
partition natively.

Ongoing Fusion Problems

[Alex Hall]

Hello all,
I'm still not able to use Fusion very well. When I changed the assigned ram to 
1gb and booted it, I never even got speech, though that may have been a windows 
problem of some kind. However, my Mini is still almost unusable when a vm 
starts, at least this vm (which is running off my Bootcamp partition). Even 
trying to go to the Window Menu to switch focus to the active VM is an exercise 
in patience and anger management. I can switch to other apps, but Voiceover's 
speech is stuttery and broken, and apps take a long time to come up (not 
launch, just come to the foreground). I have a total of 8gb of ram, and Windows 
only has 1, plus a single core. My macbook Air, with half the ram, performs 
dramatically better. I am starting to think it is a mavericks issue, since the 
entire system has been slow to launch apps and perform other tasks ever since 
the installation. I don't know, though.

weird issue with acrobat reader.

[Jessica Moss]

I've been having this weird issue with acrobat reader where I'll click on a

html content."  Has anyone else had this issue, and if so, what can be done 
about it?

Adding Item to the sidebar?

[Deb Lewis]

I’m looking int he VO manual on my Mac. I’m running mavericks. It says that 
Command T is the keyboard command to place an item in the sidebar. But that 
creates a new Tab these days. What obvious thing am I missing? Thanks!!
This is the instruction from Chapter 3 BTW.

Numbers on iOS

[Nicholas Parsons]

I've been playing with Numbers on my iPad Air. I created a spreadsheet in 
Numbers on Mavericks, and I'm trying to add a row on my iPad. I've read the 
Help documentation and have tried to follow this as best I can with VoiceOver 
but I can't seem to add a row.

I've found the handle thing to the left of the last row. I've tried double 
tapping on this and dragging it down, but nothing happens. I've also tried 
selecting the last row, and then from the edit router menu choosing insert, but 
again nothing happens.

Has anyone managed to insert rows reliably?

Thanks,
Nic

Re: Ongoing Fusion Problems

[Kliphton -------]

Well, to start with, if you have 8 gigs of ram, you need at least 3 possibley 4 
gigs for windows.  Don’t worry, its not going to affect the performance of your 
mac.  Secondly, running your vm through bootcamp, then coming in to fusion may 
be your other issue.  I have heard a lot of people complain that running there 
vm through bootcamp, then importing it in to fusion has been very problematic 
at best.  Especially those who use jaws, there activation gets stripped out, 
and they are stuck in 40 minute mode.  Since fs isn’t going to just hand out 
authorizations because your trying to run windows on a mac.  If you have any 
more issues, my contact info is below.

Re: Adding Item to the sidebar?

Excellent. Thank you so much. I looked pretty carefully at this in the
documentation and there's no reference to control at all. Unless it's
some kind of symbol that wasn't reading. I'll have to investigate
further. doesn't seem like there'd be an error. Anyway, it's now
successfully added and i'm pleased.

Re: Ongoing Fusion Problems

[Alex Hall]

Well, I have a 500gb hard drive, and 200 of that is allocated to my Bootcamp. I 
can resize that partition, but I've heard horror stories about resized Bootcamp 
partitions going away or getting corrupted under Mavericks. I'll have to do 
something, though, because that install has all my programs and settings, so I 
want to keep it as my Windows setup, but my Mac partition has only 14gb free. 
All that to say, if I cloned the Windows install into a new vm instead of 
running it directly, I'd need more room on the Mac side and to lessen the size 
on the Windows side. I'll look into all this. Thanks.

Re: Looking for Mac RSS reader

I'd love to find one as well, but I'd need it to sync across devices. My iOS 
favorite is Lire, but that has no syncing support as of yet. If syncing isn't 
important to you, though, give Luck News (it may be one word) a try. I haven't 
used it much, but it is free and seems pretty accessible.

Hi Alex,

 

Can't you just install windows in a VM without worrying about bootcamp at
all? That's how I did it and windows works beautifully here on my Macbook
air with 8gb ram.

That's the 2013 air.

I'm running Mavericks as well no issues.

Cheers.

Scott

Well, I have a 500gb hard drive, and 200 of that is allocated to my
Bootcamp. I can resize that partition, but I've heard horror stories about
resized Bootcamp partitions going away or getting corrupted under Mavericks.
I'll have to do something, though, because that install has all my programs
and settings, so I want to keep it as my Windows setup, but my Mac partition
has only 14gb free. All that to say, if I cloned the Windows install into a
new vm instead of running it directly, I'd need more room on the Mac side
and to lessen the size on the Windows side. I'll look into all this. Thanks.

Well, to start with, if you have 8 gigs of ram, you need at least 3
possibley 4 gigs for windows.  Don't worry, its not going to affect the
performance of your mac.  Secondly, running your vm through bootcamp, then
coming in to fusion may be your other issue.  I have heard a lot of people
complain that running there vm through bootcamp, then importing it in to
fusion has been very problematic at best.  Especially those who use jaws,
there activation gets stripped out, and they are stuck in 40 minute mode.
Since fs isn't going to just hand out authorizations because your trying to
run windows on a mac.  If you have any more issues, my contact info is

Hello all,
I'm still not able to use Fusion very well. When I changed the assigned ram
to 1gb and booted it, I never even got speech, though that may have been a
windows problem of some kind. However, my Mini is still almost unusable when
a vm starts, at least this vm (which is running off my Bootcamp partition).
Even trying to go to the Window Menu to switch focus to the active VM is an
exercise in patience and anger management. I can switch to other apps, but
Voiceover's speech is stuttery and broken, and apps take a long time to come
up (not launch, just come to the foreground). I have a total of 8gb of ram,
and Windows only has 1, plus a single core. My macbook Air, with half the
ram, performs dramatically better. I am starting to think it is a mavericks
issue, since the entire system has been slow to launch apps and perform
other tasks ever since the installation. I don't know, though.


Have a great day,

Re: Ongoing Fusion Problems

[Alex Hall]

I could if I were starting out. When I got my Mac, though, I needed to have a 
native Windows install since I knew nothing about Macs and needed a computer I 
could easily use. That means that all my programs and files got migrated from 
my old computer to Bootcamp, so I figured I'd just have Fusion run off that 
partition since it is set up how I want it. Now, of course, the Mac is my 
primary machine, but I'd still rather avoid re-installing and re-configuring 
everything. Ultimately, my goal is to have a VM only, and reclaim the space 
currently used by the Windows partition, but I thought it would be best to 
start out running directly from the partition, not knowing that this can cause 
the problems I've been having. I would just import the partition into a new vm 
and have done with it, but it's way too big for that so I'll have to make room 
on the mac side and erase a lot from Windows before that will fit.
