Re: moving windows favorites to the mac

2014-03-26 Thread Teresa Cochran
In many web browsers, you can export your favorites to an XML or hTML file and 
then import this to Safari. I've done this between various browsers, but not 
this specific process. You might do some searching around for 
exporting/importing bookmarks.

HtH,
Teresa

This does what VO-command-space used to do. It toggles multiple selection on

Slow boot up?

2014-03-26 Thread christopher hallsworth
Hi all
my Macbook Pro 2012 model running Os X 10.9.2 is slow booting up. Once booted 
all is well. I'm thinking of doing a clean install as never done one since 
owning this mac nearly two years ago. So should I go ahead and do this? My 
processor is Core I5 and memory is 4 GB. Any responses greatly appreciated. 
Thanks!

Have you reset the PRAM and repaired permissions? It isn't usually necessary to

Re: moving windows favorites to the mac

2014-03-26 Thread Kliphton -------
There is a much simpler solution for this.  On windows, you have the folder 
with the name of your computer.  So mine says Kliphton.  In this folder you 
have downloads, documents, an yes favorites.  This is where your favorites 
folder can be copied from.  Just enter the folder that has the name of your 
computer, find the favorites, control c to copy the folder, and then save it on 
your USB thumb drive or external drive which ever one you are using.  This 
works, I have been doing it for almost 4 years.  I have just gotten a MBP, but 
before that I was using a MacMini, and then a iMac.  I still have to use 
windows for my business, so copying my favorites over was one of the thins I 
had to learn.  HTH

I have used a utility called xmarks from www.xmarks.com.
It is a browser extension that synchronizes favorites from one browser

You create your account, install the extension on each browser/computer

Hi there 
There are two sources. The Braille Edge manual has a list of commands. The 
Apple has a list of commands that work in general with braille displays. There 
isn't any difference that I can see between the commands for Mountain Lion and 
Mavericks for this. Do you have the Brk Edge manual? The only difference 
between the general commands and those shown in the manual ara how function

database app for Mac

2014-03-26 Thread Jenine Stanley
I'm looking for a database app for Mac that will import CSV files. and that is 
of course accessible with VO. Any suggestions? 

Right now on the windows machine I use Excel's "table" feature which used to be 
called "list". this allows a spreadsheet to be turned into a database with each 
row being a record. If there is such a feature in Numbers, that would be even 
better than a separate database program as I'm not doing major database type 
things, just moving and editing records.

If you are running any variant of AOL's AIM (Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, 
Web etc.) you can SMS with somebody by adding a buddy named with a plus 
sign followed by their phone number. So adding


+1551212

would send and receive SMS messages from that phone number. Not sure how 
this works internationally but in the states it has to start with a 1 
which is the US country code.

Re: CD/rewritable drive possibly not functioning properly on mac book pro.

2014-03-26 Thread Chris Blouch
Are you sure you have the write side down? Only one side of most CDs is 
writable. If it really is failing on multiple disks maybe you got a bad 
batch. I have a spindle of discs right now which is having about a 50% 
fail rate, which is unusual. I usually have one or two in a hundred 
fail. If you have more blank CDs from the same set, can you try burning 
one or two on another machine just to find out if you have a bad batch?

Re: Braille Esge and Mac

2014-03-26 Thread Robert C
   Yes I have both sources and they do not match up. What I get when I 
put the Edge into VO help mode also does not match. So I want to find 
the current information and update my list so I do not need to stop and 
figure out which ones work or do not work.

Hi there
There are two sources. The Braille Edge manual has a list of commands. The

between the general commands and those shown in the manual ara how function

Re: moving windows favorites to the mac

2014-03-26 Thread Eileen Misrahi
Hi Don and all,

I guess you can teach an old person new tricks. The reason why I will bring up 
my favorites through the run dialog box is to  clean out unwanted or old 
favorites in the list before migrating them. I then just do a copy and paste 
into an external drigve  of my choice. I rather take care of the clean up 
before migrating. I will tuck the other suggestions away for a rainy day. 
Thanks.

Best,
Eileen

best batteries for Apple bluetooth keyboard...

2014-03-26 Thread Cameron Strife
Hi. I'm wondering if people get longer life using the Apple bluetooth
keyboard with standard alkaline batteries, or, with rechargeable ones.

Also, bargain basement brands vs the big name batteries?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Cameron.

Re: Braille Esge and Mac

2014-03-26 Thread Robert C
   Yes I know, I am new to the Mac and have been trying to wrap my mind 
around it, having used Windows for many years.


   I am done with the iPhone and the Edge, made a revised list that I 
think is current as I tested a lot of it.


   But the Mac is still new and I want to save myself any unnecessary 
learning if I can. This is why I have not tested the commands yet (as I 
did with the iPhone because I have had that a year). I tested the 
commands from both sources in VO help mode and got more unsure I can 
make that revised list yet. I found a list on Macfortheblind which is 
also a Word file, same one?


   If I was more familiar with the Mac, I could try all the listed 
commands and see which ones do work.

Re: login and keychain password

2014-03-26 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

It kind of depends.  If you changed your password via the Terminal or from 
another user, then the Login password and Keychain are likely different.  If 
you change your password for user Bob while logged in as Bob, then the login 
password and keychain will match.  So, the easiest method to clean up this 
problem is simply to change your password again while logged in as that same 
user.

Re: login and keychain password

2014-03-26 Thread Robert C

Tim,
   When I first got the Mac I dont recall settng the login password 
when I set the Mac up. So I reset it in Terminal.


   When I tried to work on this yesterday, I had 3 buttons to choose. 
Continue login. Create new keychain. Think the third also had to do with 
keychain.


   I have not been able to simply sit down and learn the Mac because 
things keep popping up in my way. So I will try again tonight.


   You think I should just login and reset the login again? I will try 
to do it and hope it works. Thanks.

Re: renaming tables in numbers

2014-03-26 Thread Phil Halton
I recant my earlier post. Today I tried the exact same procedure to rename a 
table in numbers and all I could get it to do was to select the A column. It 
wouldn't enter the edit field on the name for love nor money.
I'm just going to bypass the name thing and accept the default table names, 
using sheet/table name qualifiers to reference cells/ranges from different 
tables when necessary. Also, giving unique header names to cell ranges enables 
me to access ranges without qualifiers.
Its a reasonable workaround, I can't be bothered getting frustrated with 
software anymore.

Re: renaming tables in numbers

2014-03-26 Thread Tim Kilburn
Phil,

I've found that it is extremely difficult to rename Table 1.  So, if I create a 
second table, rename it, then delete Table 1, I now have Table 1 renamed.  
Renaming subsequent tables is reasonably normal using the method outlined in 
the earlier post.  This is only useful, though, if you are able to set up the 
tables ahead of time or if you copy and paste all data from Table 1 to your 
second table then delete Table 1.  I hope this is making sense.  One other 
thing to note is that you can easily change the name of a sheet by Interacting 
with the Sheet Navigator, then pressing VO-shift-m on the desired sheet to 
bring up its contextual menu, and then choosing Rename.

Later...

   Got it using the Create a New Keychain option. Now I need to change 
an option so I do not have to enter the login password each time I boot

Re: login and keychain password

2014-03-26 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

If I'm understanding correctly, you'd like your computer to go directly to your 
Desktop without a Login screen.  That's not a recommended behaviour because if 
your machine is stolen or accessed by someone else, they have easy access to 
all your personal files.  Now, if that isn't a concern to you, then do the 
following:

* go to the Apple menu and choose System Preferences.
* Select Users & Groups.
* Unlock the pane by pressing on the lock near the bottom of the pane, then 
enter your password.
* Interact with the Users, Groups & Login Options List near the top of the pane.
* navigate to the last item in that list, it should be Login Options.
* Stop Interacting with the list then navigate right to the Automatic Login 
pop-up.
* select which user you want to automatically login to on startup.
* close System Prefs.

That should do it.  A few things to note though.  If you have iCloud keychain 
turned on, this is definitely a bad idea as your saved passwords and such are 
more easily accessed by anyone who gains access to your machine.  If you don't 
use that feature, then it's not such a big deal other than what I mentioned 
earlier.  If the Automatic login pop-up is dimmed, then you did not unlock the 
pane yet.  If this is the way you wish to have your computer configured, make 
sure that you still have a password set so that your Mac, at least, requires 
that Admin password for installations or modifications to the system.  It will 
need to be a password that is easy for you to remember since you're not needing 
to enter it very often.

HTH.

Re: login and keychain password

Tim,
   Valid points and I should consider that the Mac being a portable 
device, I ought to leave it in a secure state.


   I may have disabled VO somehow at login so if I turn it back on, 
logins will be easier and heck, can just leave the macnine running all day.

iPad drops contact with shared library

2014-03-26 Thread Agent086b
Hello,
our iPad Air plays music happily for a time then just stops. It appears to 
loose contact with our shared library. If we restart the iPad we then can play 
music for a time. The iPad connects wirelessly to our network. The router I 
have was purchased in 2007. I am wondering if the router is dropping the 
contact.
Any help on this one would be appreciated.
Thanks for any advice.
