Hi Alex, Thanks for letting me know about spell check, I had a look in the edit menu of pages and saw an option under spelling and grammar that said check spelling while typing, and another that said, correct spelling while typing.

Oh, Dear, Slacker Problem Again . . .
Despite Slacker's fantastic job making its iPhone app accessible once again, I have run into a snag they clearly did not anticipate. I received an "unusual activity" message while listening; I had the audacity to spend some time exploring a bunch of different stations in a short period of time. I was asked for my password, but then, asked to type the "text in the image". I tried closing and reopening the app; tried rebooting my phone. Still stuck. I wrote to them, and Tweeted as well; no response so far. Meanwhile, a subscription for which I paid is unusable, and I cannot seem to figure out where on the web site I can go to attempt a workaround to access my account. I cannot locate any log in or account link. Christine -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Hi, No, I don't believe that you have a virus. If you accidentally left iTunes open when you shutdown your computer, it will likely come back on when you start it up. Remember that, on a Mac, closing the window does not quit the application. You must use Quit from the app menu or cmd-q to actually totally quit and remove the app from memory. Later...

Re: Hotspots and Web Spots in Safari
I guess that makes sense, but as you said, it is a really odd approach to take for a visually impaired audience. Do Web Spots work the same way? I set one on a forum, and when a new post came in, the spot stayed put, meaning that, as the page was now longer, the spot had moved up the page. The next update caused the spot to vanish entirely. This is rather disappointing, as I, and probably most people, expect a bookmark-like feature to stick to the bit of the page we put it on and not the visual location.

Re: what is growl?
In brief, Growel is an app that verblley notifies you when things happen in certain apps. Before the notification center, it was the best way to get information in real time when apps did certain things. Truth to tell, I never saw much benefit in it myself.

Re: what is growl?
Growl is a notifications system that most of us used before Os X 10.8 Mountain Lion introduced the notification centre. It provides notifications for supported apps in the form of audio/visual notifications, the audio portion using the system voice to speak the notification. Regards Chris Happy Easter!

Hi Christine, I too am a slacker radio subscriber. Their direct phone number is 858-943-5000 You may get a recording, yet if you play with the menus, you will find a human who will talk to you. If you explain to them you are visually impaired and cannot reliably access their site, they will talk you through the issue.

Re: VO-J
VO-shift-J moves me to the pop up item that popped up from the current item. Maybe that is for when pop-overs occur?

Re: Keyboard Focus / Voice Over Cursor / Mouse Pointer
Anne, I dont use Skype but imagine this works in any instant messaging as well. What I hear while typing is controlled by the verbosity settings? Here is what I would like to know. What are the steps to follow when I want to start a chat? Not how to initiate one but how to deal with the keyboard and VP focus. Once I have done this a time or two I should be ok. Until now, I have only disabled tracking when installing some apps. Thanks. Quote of the nanosecond . . .

This is where your text will start if you begin typing. The VoiceOver cursor is shown as a box around an area on the screen and you can change its size in the VoiceOver utility. Normally the keyboard focus and the VoiceOver cursor are tied together so that VoiceOver tells you where you can enter information, but in a chat, you want to be able to read what the other person has written without moving the insertion point from the field where you type your reply, so you turn cursor tracking off. In general, we don't need to worry about the mouse cursor, but some operations require the mouse to be on a specific element, in which case, you can bring the mouse cursor to the VO cursor with VO-Cmd-F5 if you don't have the mouse cursor tied to the other cursors already. I prefer not to have my mouse cursor tied to the other cursors as I find it can cause some irritating jumping around. Mouse keys allows you to pilot the mouse using either the numpad or the letter keys on the righthand side of the keyboard. In VoiceOver utility, you can tell VO to speak the text under the mouse with no delay so that you can hear where your mouse pointer is. Moving the mouse pointer in this way can make some elements accessible which the VoiceOver cursor can't reach.

Re: video blogging
You can use blubrry which you can find at blubrry.com or you can also use libsyn which can be found at libsyn.com. Both of these sites are for media hosting & do produce an RSS feed which you than submit to iTunes. &, both allow the uploading of video content as well as audio content. One of the real draw backs to video blogging, video podcasting, etc. As aposed to just audio blogging, podcasting, etc. Is that it takes a great deal of space to upload those videos verses an audio file. Both media hosting companies listed above have monthly plans. But, you're probably going to need the higher plans verses the cheapper plans which they do offer. I'd say that you'd probably get much better results just by using Youtube for your videos. No, they do not produce an RSS feed which you can submit to iTunes. However, this hosting is cheap, infact, it's free. Also, a great number of people search youtube for video content since it's a video content site. Also, it's the number 2 most used search engine in the world.

Re: Status Menus Are Gone
Hi, OK, here you go... 1. Close all windows and quit all applications. 2. Up to the Apple menu. 3. Down to Restart. As you hear the startup chime, press down the cmd key and the "r" key simultaneously. You can get yourself ready while the computer is going through the motions of shutting down so that your fingers are ready when the startup chime sounds. 4. Hold down those keys for about 3 or 4 seconds after the startup chime ends then release. 5. Wait for at least one minute then try pressing cmd-f5 to see if VO will start. If it doesn't start, then wait a another 30 seconds or so and try turning VO on again. 6. Once it's on, VO-space on the Continue button to choose English as your language or change as needed. On occasion, I've seen it where the Language Chooser doesn't appear, if that's the case, then you'll be at the Recovery dialog. 7. Interact with the Table and choose re-Install. 8. Stop Interacting with the Table then navigate to the continue button and press it with VO-space. 9. Follow the prompts to complete the installation. It will likely ask for your Apple ID and confirm that you really want to do this. It will also ask you to agree to all the license terms, you know, giving up your first born and such. After all that, it will download the installer from the AppStore and go through the re-installation process. It should restart after a while and you may need to turn VO back on so that you can determine its progress. After everything is done, it hopefully will be back to normal. Good luck. Later...

Shortcut to Login?
Is there a shortcut to login on the Mac?Its not runnuign at tyhe momenbt so let me explain. When I first turn the Mac on, its in a window and I have to move past 3 or 4 items (I dont recall what those items are at the moment) before I get to my login account and sign in. If that was clear, then I want to know if I can change a setting somewhere so I land directly on that sign in. Thanks. Quote of the nanosecond . . .

Combining 2 tracks
Hello all, I open to using either audacity or garage band. The problem is, I can't figure out this task with either one. Let's say you have song A and song B. You have edited both of these songs to just how you want them, but now you want them to play back to back, as if they have become song C. I don't want them to play over each other, rather right after another, as one track. In both programs, the songs play atop each other. Suggestions? Assistance please. :) Thanks, Traci -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: what is growl?
I still use Growl even though I'm using Mavericks because I turn off Voiceover in apps where I don't need it such as VMWare Fusion and the RSGames client.

Selecting non-contiguous items
Hi, Can somebody please explain how to do this? I'm not having any luck using vo enter. In finder, in list view, I'm interacting with the table of documents. I press vo enter twice on the first item. I move down to the next item but one (with or without vo keys held down), and press vo enter again. I hear "no row selected". Command c to copy to the clipboard does nothing. I'm sure I'm doing something obvious wrong but can't figure it out. Thanks for any help. Does it not work in list view? Should I interact or not? Should I arrow down with or without vo keys?

Re: Selecting non-contiguous items
Hi Lisette, Do the following: * Navigate to the desired table or lsit view. * Interact * Down arrow to the first item you want. * VO down to the next item. While holding down VO keys, press command spacebar. YOu'll hear VO report you have 2 items selected. * Repeat until you have all items you want. * ¬Copy with command C when finished. To speed up the process, I lock VO keys on once I have the first item and use command-space to mark the items I want. Hope this helps.

Re: Selecting non-contiguous items
Many thanks. I didn't realise you needed to add the command key to the enter and lift it when arrowing down.Oh Kevin, in Mavericks it's command enter, not command space I believe. But it works now.

Totally Off-Topic Quesiton
Hi, all! I know this has nothing to do with the Mac at all, but I'm kind of desperate because I've got a problem with my PacMate Omni (I think it's a 6 or 6.1). When my braille display is connected to the PacMate, it just says pm display 40 but does not allow me to read in braille what's supposed to be on my screens, and eventually, it just falls asleep. (speaking of falling asleep, I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a way to make the braille display not fall asleep.) It worked just fine until the day before yesterday when I disconnected the braille display while the PacMate was still on. Other than that the PacMate itself works fine, and I know the braille display works because for one thing when I turn the PacMate off, the dots all disappear as usual, and then when I turn it on the pm display 40 message comes back on, and for another, if I hook the braille display to my Mac, it works fine; anyhow, I actually have two braille displays, and they both do the same thing on the PacMate but both work on the Mac. I've tried a warm reset and a hard-reset, but it doesn't change. Oh, forgot to say it's one of the PacMates with a computer keyboard. Anyhow, I know this is totally off-topic, but Ive already asked a bunch of people and nobody can suggest anything helpful. I've read all the help information I can find, but can't find anything helpful there either. I'm going to Ontario on tour with my choir group the week after next, and I just put a downloadable Bible on my PacMate so I could take it along to read my Bible in braille rather than having to bring the braille books, but now the braille display doesn't work, and I'd like to get it fixed before we leave so I can still use it instead of having to bring a braille Bible along. Anyhow, if someone knows what to suggest or to do about this, I'd really appreciate it. You can email me off-topic if you want, or just send a reply to my message. My email is helena.torch.li...@gmail.com. Thanks a lot! God Bless!!! Helena May the Lord bless you and protect you; may the Lord's face radiate with joy because of you; may He be gracious to you, show you His favour, and give you His peace (Numbers 6:24-26).

Re: Keyboard Focus / Voice Over Cursor / Mouse Pointer
Hello Robert, The only app I ever use for chatting, and that isn't very often, is Skype, so I don't know how the others work.

This is where your text will start if you begin typing. The VoiceOver cursor is shown as a box around an area on the screen and you can change its size in the VoiceOver utility. Normally the keyboard focus and the VoiceOver cursor are tied together so that VoiceOver tells you where you can enter information, but in a chat, you want to be able to read what the other person has written without moving the insertion point from the field where you type your reply, so you turn cursor tracking off. In general, we don't need to worry about the mouse cursor, but some operations require the mouse to be on a specific element, in which case, you can bring the mouse cursor to the VO cursor with VO-Cmd-F5 if you don't have the mouse cursor tied to the other cursors already. I prefer not to have my mouse cursor tied to the other cursors as I find it can cause some irritating jumping around. Mouse keys allows you to pilot the mouse using either the numpad or the letter keys on the righthand side of the keyboard. In VoiceOver utility, you can tell VO to speak the text under the mouse with no delay so that you can hear where your mouse pointer is. Moving the mouse pointer in this way can make some elements accessible which the VoiceOver cursor can't reach.
