the bluetooth pairing issue
Does anybody here know whether or not the bluetooth keyboard pairing issue which many of us saw in Mavricks has been fixed in 10.9.2?

An explanation of interaction required
Dear List I wondered if some kind soul could explain the concept of interaction on the mac. On podcasts you get taught how to use it but not what the underlying premise is behind it. What are the benefits of setting up a screen reader this way. I find interaction an irritation. On windows in outlook I'm immediately in the messages list I don't have to interact with the list first. To me it just feels like interaction is always another keystroke between me and where I want to get to.

Re: An explanation of interaction required
Hi, I'm only a year into using the Mac and still use Windows as well but here's my take on it. While it can be a bit time consuming and fiddly sometimes interacting with several layers I can see benefits to the approach as well. For example, in Windows you have several different keystrokes to accomplish similar goals to the VO interacting thing i.e. accessing different parts of the screen. e.g. if you wanted to access a toolbar on Windows (if you could access it) you would need to sometimes press Control Tab or sometimes use something like the JAWS/WE cursor. Whereas on the Mac, assuming the particular app is accessible, you just move around the screen and pick which part of it you want to use. I also think requiring us to interact with different elements of the screen can give us a little more understanding of the different visual elements which are present, which can help particularly when working with sighted people. e.g. instead of remembering in Windows ok if I press Alt space that gets me into the menu where there's options to maximise/size the window, I can just explore around the screen to verify/remind myself of what's actually visually present. LIke I say, I can see pros and cons but these are some of the pros in my opinion.

Re: An explanation of interaction required
Hi, There are two things here. Firstly, you do not have to interact much of the time when people say you do, it's a case of learning the settings and the operating system just like in Windows. For instance, when I go into Mail, my VO is set to land me where the keyboard focus is so it lands me straight in the message list. Personally, I think more emphasis should be put on real world usage in these podcasts. Let me take David Woodbridge as an example. His podcasts are generally excellent and helpful, but he makes what I, personally, think are a couple of asumptions that just don't reflect the natural way to interact with a computer. Firstly, he assumes that you always start from a specific, known, position, and secondly, he only teaches VoiceOver. Unless it is absolutely unavoidable, he does not teach built in OS keystrokes and concepts. It would be comparable to teaching people using Jaws only to move word by word using the insert key method, and to do everything using the Jaws cursor rather than built in Windows keystrokes. David's methods are great for getting people doing specific tasks, but often not in the most efficient ways, and often not going deep enough or actually explaining enough. I tend to think that most Mac teachers make this mistake, I'm not picking on one person, just using the specific example as I know, use, and value David's work a lot. The concept of interaction, in my mind, is generally helpful. The idea is that VoiceOver gives you an overview of what is on the screen and the ability to get around it quickly. For instance, whereas in any Windows screen reader, if you find a toolbar (Which you will only do if you know the right keyboard commands), there is no quick way of getting past it. With VoiceOver, each control, or element, appears as just that, an element. Some elements you will generally want to deal with, which is where interaction could become an issue, but many, you want the ability to skip over, so VoiceOver is built on the idea that if you want to use it, you will interact with it. There are a couple of things you can do to seriously limit how often you have to interact. Check that your VoiceOver is set for initial position to keyboard focus, not to first element. In most apps, you will then land exactly where you want to be. Secondly, and I think this is default behaviour, make sure the setting tab key interacts is set to on. This way, whenever you use the tab key to get to a control, you will automatically be interacting with it, and you won't have to uninteract to tab or shift-tab to the previous control. Another piece of faulty advice is to never use the tab key in Mac. Rather, you need to remember that the tab key will act a little like it does in Windows, in that it will take you to the next control the app dev thinks you might want to use it to get to, While it is always advisable to learn apps using the VO keys navigation method, you may well find that, when you know what you are doing, in many cases, you will use the tab key just as much. Finally, I don't see how anyone who learns to use Quick Nav can find interaction a problem. The ability to skip around and navigate without moving your fingers at all is invaluable, and interaction becomes such an easy process. Personally, unless I am in a file list or something, if I am going to use a few navigation commands in a row, I always switch to Quick Nav. The reason I don't in file lists? I don't want to interact, so I want to use the built in, OS X keystrokes, to do things, simply arrowing up and down lists, using command-down to open and command-up to close etc. As soon as I press command-2, I am right in that list view so don't need to navigate to it, and the same is true if I use one of the keystrokes to get to specific folders. In short, I am saying what they say for every operating system: learn both your screen reader and the operating system if you want to use it at all efficiently.

Re: An explanation of interaction required
I echo the use of the tab key and Quick Nav. I use Quick Nav a lot of the time and find it very efficient. You just need to get to learn when it's appropriate/quick and when switching it off would serve you better. A small point I would dispute is David Woodbridge starting his podcasts at a certain known point. I think this is the only way to create a podcast which is consistent and applies to as wide a range of people as possible. There are so many possible starting points otherwise: I've just started Mail and my VO cursor is set to focus on the keyboard focus; or not; or I want to start Mail with Quick Nav on or off and so on. So I guess he picks a consistent starting point to make the podcasts manageable and give people a consistent learning experience. I haven't herd enough to comment on whether too many trainers focus too much on VO commands as opposed to the OS. I do know a lot of Windows screen reader trainers do this. I would say that from reading the VO Getting Started guide it was pretty clear which were VO commands and which were OS ones so that's a good resource for anyone who learns in that way...

Re: How does conversation threading work on the Mac?
teresa, thank you for sharing this. I found it to be very helpful. My only question is and it might have already been answered but say if you got a lot of messages for a thread that you didn't want to just delete yet then some new subject lines came in e.g. 5 and finally a person comments on the thread you are not wanting to delete just yet. What happens to that un-deleated thread? Does it get placed up at the top of the list of closed threads? If you could explain or answer this question then I would be really grateful because when I get a lot of messages e.g. from this list and have been trying it out in conversation view, I am getting a bit confused at times and somewhat overwhelmed at where all the messages are hence my wondering if the latest ones were at the top.

Re: An explanation of interaction required
Hi, Well, the fact is, that there are quicker ways to do things. Rather than first going to the desktop, to get to a known place, then having to go to the apps folder, etc, from whereever you are, you can use Spotlight to open an app, and it's so easy to teach. From anywhere, command-space, type in the first few letters of the app you want and if it isn't the first thing you hear, arrow to it. I just think there could be more reality in how people would actually use a computer, whereas teaching it the long way round makes anyone that doesn't know an operating system of any flavour think it has to be that inefficient. Clearly, my way isn't radically different, but I think more variety and more use of all the different methods, including David's current methods, would be helpful. I do value all the podcasts, so don't mean to sound critical, but I think there's an over-emphasis on not using all the features when they would be helpful and just using the very basic VO commands. The result is often that people think Mac is slow, and get too hooked up on how difficult interaction is, when it really isn't.

Screenshots of VoiceOver Settings
Does anyone have screenshots of VoiceOver settings? My setup is my Mac Mini, Keyboard, and mouse. I called the Apple Accessibility line yesterday. The lady who helped me was rather nice. We did find a way to make Safari sort of work. Apparently my settings are a mess. I can only use the right and left arrows to move within the pages. Nothing else works. I still have not figured out how to work with mail. What works one time does not work another. VOJ only beeps. It does not open anything. It seems like a massive game of guess work. I can never figure out how to guess whether I need to click shift, control, option up arrow, shift, control, option, down arrow, or shift, control, option, spacebar, or enter to get something to open or do what I want it to. I had several of the training guides playing in the background all day long for many many days, And still can't figure it out. What I seem to find our long blocks of text, that say "Ra, Ra, you can do this, Ra, Ra you can do this, followed by a long list of undefined keyboard commands without any indication of where (or how) to use them, or what to do if they don't work. The group that I found that did contain step by step directions (for only a three partial activities) no longer work - which means some setting has been changed to no longer work with a keyboard. I still need to find step by step instructions out there somewhere. Trying six key combinations for every click isn't helpful. It would take an hour to complete five minutes of work at that speed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: An explanation of interaction required
I think it's important to get the basics down first. Then, users can branch out and try shortcuts. After two months, my VoiceOver works less than it did on day one. I still have no idea how to use it to check mail, or on Safari. I kinda got it working on Calendar and Pages. At one point. What works one time doesn't work another. It would be great to find step by step instructions so I can do basic things, and not sit there listening to beeps instead of it doing what I need it to do. I listened to the list of commands hundreds of times. There are hundreds of undefined commands. It's kinds like listening to a foreign language, with no reference to the the language I speak. I have no idea what, or where a command is supposed to be used. There is no logic to the command, or the labels given to them. If I could find a text copy of these talkies, perhaps I could eventually learn how to use VoiceOver. If I don't I likely won't be using a computer in a year. It seems every setting I adjust based on something someone says breaks it further. Those of you who use it, make it sound so simple. You know the language and terms, the new user does not. Watching someone use those terms and what they accomplish would be a good thing, if I could hear the speaker. Which, I can't. It's always low toned males. Way below my hearing level.

Re: Folder Action New Item Alert Now Works In Latest Mavericks Update
OK, this slow person would like a refresher. Where is the check box to be found that must be checked in order to enable folder actions? Is it in service preferences? When I go to services preferences, I see a table of keyboard short cut categories. I don't see how that relates to folder actions.

Re: finger computer for OCR
David, with all due respect, you're making a lot of suppositions here. I understand that you didn't feel the device you tested worked well, but you can't extrapolate from that and say that because that device didn't, this one won't either. they're different devices, designed by different people. I remember trying to use a Mac with Outspoken back in the mid nineties. I found the experience frustrating and the Mac at that time barely usable. Obviously I would not say the same about the current Mac and Voiceover. One thing you seem to have missed, is that this device does provide haptic feedback, according to the article, to help users navigate. If that's the case, it would seem to be fairly similar to the optacon in terms of how a user would navigate with it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not calling it the blindness device of the future. But I'm also not going to dismiss it off-hand without ever seeing what it can actually do. I understand you feel that it holds no promise, and you're entitled to your opinion, but me, I'll wait and see. My hunch, assuming it ever gets developed, is that it will have a niche.

I can't actually even get that box to come up with the code. It just refuses to pair. On Feb 27, 2014, at 6:17 AM, Ray Foret Jr wrote: > Let me guess.

Re: google video hangouts
hi daniel; I used google's video hangout successfully last night. Wel, i got it started, one friend stopped by, i was able to know they were there thanks to a handy ring tone and then we had a nice conversation. I am calling it a success because i didn't do any advance promotion. I wanted to see if i could first. If you want to try a hangout with your iOS i would be happy to assist. my email is maxw...@midwaymarketplace.com Just send me an invite. I would love the practice. And I am one of those rare mac owners. I only have my mac book no iOS devices at all although I'm leaning towards getting one for face book twitter and nls. take care, max On Feb 27, 2014, at 8:09 AM, Daniel Hawkins wrote: > Have you successfully used Hangout on the web browser or on a Mac or IOS?

Re: finger computer for OCR
Donna, I remain very skeptical for how well it will work for those with no vision for the reasons I listed. I was not the only blind person who tested the device I spoke about, and nobody with no vision was able to get it to read anything. That said, please don't confuse my skepticism with active disbelief of the product. I will be amongst the first to sign up to test, and hopefully purchase, it if it successfully makes its way through the experimentation phase and actually becomes a viable product. Unfortunately, given all the obsticles against it, I very strongly suspect 1) It will not get past all the hurdles, or 2) it will become targeted toward low-vision users who can visually locate the start of each printed line of text. Again, I hope I am wrong, but am willing to bet otherwise. I have seen and tested too many products that were very good ideas, but never made it to market, or lasted in the marketplace for only one generation (a couple months).

Re: the bluetooth pairing issue
Hey all, not sure if this is the same issue, but my Logitech k760 keyboard will pair and last about ten minutes but that's it, and no it's no a battery issue as occasionally I can get it repair but then it once again loses connectivity and this is happening in 10.9.2 so I am guessing no it has not been fixed.

Re: How does conversation threading work on the Mac?
Hi, Daniel, Where the messages are in the conversation depends on a setting in Mail preferences, View tab. There is a checkbox that says "show most recent message at the top". You can set that according to your preference. If you are either arrowing down or interacting with the content of individual messages, only that message will be deleted when you press the delete key. If you're focused on the entire thread, where it indicates the number of messages in a conversation and you press delete, the entire conversation is deleted. I'm not entirely sure about the chronological order of messages. I believe they are sorted according to the newest one in the thread. If you delete some of the messages in a conversation, only the new ones will be included in the message count for the conversation. One interesting property of message threads is to go into your trash folder. There you will see things like 100-message conversations, as they are still sorted in the trash.

It's actually not in the services preferences dialog. It's in the services menu, but in a dialog called "folder actions setup". You might try doing a VO-f2 twice quickly to see if you can choose the dialog window from the window list. I've never had to do this, but it's worth a try.

Re: An explanation of interaction required
Yes, this is a great explanation. It also allows you to see specific parts of an interface or screen. So, instead of being overwhelmed by everything all at once, the screen is segregated so that you can interact to view specific areas and, thus, limit confusion. Scroll areas, Tables, browsers, Groups, Sliders, Toolbars and Grids are the elements that require interaction. Take Care John D.

Re: trying to install some apps mentioned from a podcast
Hello, Ok so we were finally able to figure out how to get both of those programs installed and got the caps lock key working for us as the insert key. However, the podcast didn't mention exactly how to make the numpad happen and when I try what it said on the page for using a numpad by hitting the fn key and I for numpad 5 it doesn't seem to work. Has anyone actually figured this part out and can tell us what we're doing wrong? I know we had to do things differently than the podcast mentioned for remapping the voiceover keys to the caps lock since we didn't end up having to go to system preferences but not sure why we can't get the numpad part to work. Any help would be appreciated so that we can possibly be able to do things like jaws cursor, pc cursor, rooting of the cursors, left and right clicks on files, etc. Take care, Shannon Gerdts -Original Message- From: Deb Lewis Sent: Monday, February 24, 2014 2:50 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: trying to install some apps mentioned from a podcast I did this last week. The KeyRing app is at the link you visited. I believe there's a link called Other apps or something to that effect and you'll find the PC Keyboard hack there. It's not on the same page as it was when the podcast was developed and I had to look around for it. After you have them, the podcast is very descriptive about what to do. The hardest part was finding that second app but after that the instructions will all work as advertised. Oh, there was one other difference. If you're running Mavricks, you are instructed to go to apple preferences and make some changes. The newly installed apps didn't appear in my apple preferences, but opening each of them revealed the same options he was describing and everything worked as advertised. I don't want to go through the tutorial again, he did a great job, but after you find them, if there's something specific, I'm sure we can help. As I said, finding that second app isn't quite where he said now, but it's still up there and you need them both for this to work.

However the link it provides to do this doesn't seem to exist and when we go just to pqrs.org we can only seemingly find the first app. Also, when we go to that link the installation instructions are pretty confusing so hoping someone can give us some advice on how to better understand what we need to do. Thanks again for any help on this matter as usual. Also, if anyone has experience running vm fusion on their mac and has success please feel free and send me some e-mails directly maybe offlist as it seems as if we have some random issues that we're not quite sure how to resolve at the moment.

I've had folks who received a PDF I filled out with textEdit say that the stuff I filled out wouldn't print. Not sure why that was but I cheated and re-printed it to a PDF on my end and that seemed to fix it. To do that, even if you don't have a printer set up on the Mac, you just hit command-P. This will pop a print dialog with various printer options including picking a printer. Mine said No Printer Selected. Anyway, ignore most of what's in that dialog and just after the help button you'll find a PDF Menu button and if you drop that down you'll find Save As PDF as the second option. In general, you can use this to make a PDF of most document and web pages. Might not always be super accessible since it's just redirecting printer output. That sometimes puts parts of the page out of order and other common problems, but it can be handy.

Re: trying to install some apps mentioned from a podcast
Change the keyboard layout in JAWS to lap top. Then you won't need the numpad keys. I don't think there's really a practical way to get them working. In the lap top layout there are alternatives for all of those key combinations and they will work with the remapped caps lock key.

Re: VO and Dashboard widget manager
Oh, you can look at your current widgets by pressing VO-f2 twice quickly, and you can add an already-installed widget by right-arrowong into the widget bar and pressing enter on it. The thing that's stumping me is finding the widget manager, which is supposed to be "on the left side of the screen" and unchecking or removing them. I may experiment with mouse keys at some point.

Re: Focus 14 with my Mac
Hey I don't think it is the focus I think Apple screwed something up big time in Mavericks with bluetooth as my old Logitech keyboard which worked fine in Mountain Lion does not work in Mavericks and after researching it have discovered that several several people are having bluetooth issues in Mavericks. Not sure what has happened to Apple, but considering all the bugs Mavericks was released with maybe it wasn't ready for public release. Quite frustrating as I now spend half my time dealing with computer issues. Hope you find a solution.

Re: VO and Dashboard widget manager
Yes, I just listened to an AppleVis podcast on an earlier version of dashboard, and you could actually use command-VO-f2 to close a widget. No more. there was also a widgets menu in the widgets bar that would allow you to access the widget manager. Not the case anymore. Darn. No, I'm curious, but I know when to stop.

Re: VO and Dashboard widget manager
Did you go into dashboard first with f12? That is the point where you hit VO-f2 twice quickly. widgets are like mini-applets for various applications on the Mac. You can pop in and out to accomplish a task without having to open the full app. I even have a little Braille translation of free text widget that was installed with Louis for Braille transcription. with the calculator you can enter the numbers on the keyboard. You can set a world clock, as well. they're very handy, and I wish they were as accessible as they used to be.
