 This ground has been covered loads and loads of time so please excuse me 
 for covering it yet again. The only excuse i have is that at the time this 
 topic was up, i didn't have an interest in doing this, however now i have 
 so this is my question:
 How do i do a clean install of an operating system on the mac? More 
 specifically, what should i do to get a clean installation and then get 
 the apps i have with their respective settings back on the machine minus 
 possible old system settings that maybe could cause damage to the 
 installation or the system?
 All help appreci

Re: Making a clean installation

Ok, question 1, where do i find "internet recovery"? and question 2, how can i 
get the mac to connect to the internet through wifi when trying to reinstall 
the system? I've searched and searched and there seems not to be a possibility 
to connect the mac to my wifi like there was before. What is the problem here?

Re: how to delete a user from users and groups

2014-07-16 Thread Matt Dierckens

Hi Mac.
Go to system preferences.
Go to the preferences pain and interact with the scroll area.
Type "user" for users and groups and press VO spacebar.
VO right arrow until you hear "Users, groups and login options List 1 item 
selected.
Interact.
Now, lets say we want to delete the user "John Smith".
VO right arrow, it will say "other users" VO right until you would hear the 
user you want to delete. So in our case, VO right until you hear " John Smith" 
and stop interacting.
Now, you'll have to click the lock to make changes. VO function right arrow 
until you hear the help button and VO left once.
Press this button and enter your password and press enter.
Once this is done, you can delete the user that you have selected.
HTH.

If you use the Partition tab in Disk Utility, which is visible when you select the disk device in
the table, then select "1 partition" in layout, you can erase the entire disk and
repartition it with one partition in one step. Make sure to press Options and make sure that
"GUID partition table" is selected (it should already be). Then press apply, press
partition, wait a few moments and it's done.

You will not be able to do this with the recovery partition. You will have to
create USB install media or, if your Mac was purchased with Mavericks on it,
use Internet Recovery. You can't partition a disk while you are booted from
recovery on that disk, of course.

Re: Making a clean installation

To get to Internet Recovery, press Command+Option+R at the chime after power on.

You may need sighted help to pick from available wi-fi networks from which to 
boot.  I recommend using Ethernet (including Thunderbolt/USB adaptors from 
Apple) as these require no sighted help.

Re: Making a clean installation

Hi, do i understand this correctly that after choice of wifi, VO can be used? I 
tried the cmd+option+R command thinking i could use speech directly but that 
didn't work so i assume you have to get past the selection of available wifi 
networks right?

submitting a podcast in iTunes

2014-07-16 Thread Matt Dierckens

HI all.
If anyone can help me with this that would be great.
I have a podcast that is hosted on a secondary server. Now, I know that iTunes 
now requires you to have artwork. The RSS feed works fine if you subscribe 
manually to the podcast.
Now when I go to submit the podcast and put in the URL, it gives me an 
error,something about the artwork. It doesn't say anything about artwork before 
you enter the URL.
If anyone has created and successfully uploaded and had a podcast approved, 
please let me know.

What's the best way to create fillable forms on the Mac?

2014-07-16 Thread Donna Goodin

Hi all,

I'm wondering if there's a way to create fillable forms on the Mac. I like the 
form to be able to be filled out by both Mac and Windows users, so it would 
need to be in a format that could be opened on a PC. If anyone knows anything 
about how to do this, I would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance,
Donna

Re: Making a clean installation

Hey, First of all, i'm sorry for asking so many stupid and probably obvious 
questions. I shouldn't be needing to do that since i've owned a Mac for at 
least 6 years, but then again i haven't done a clean install ever so it's 
probably high time to do it.:-) Anyway my question now is as follows: I don't 
have a thumb drive that big, but i happen to have an external smallish hard 
drive that can work on USB would that work and if so, what's the steps to make 
an installer on that hard drive?

Re: Voice verbosity

2014-07-16 Thread Tim Kilburn

Hi,

All that sort of thing is dealt with in the Verbosity options that you've been 
modifying.  It sounds to me that you may be using one of the other third party 
voice options as they have been known to behave differently than expected.  Not 
sure if there is any way around that though.

Re: What's the best way to create fillable forms on the Mac?

2014-07-16 Thread Tim Kilburn

Hi,

It depends on what you're going to use the form for and how you like the input 
to be reported back to you.  If it's something like a survey or questionnaire 
where you don't mind the results being returned in a spreadsheet, then a Google 
Form is my best suggestion.  If you have a Gmail account, then you have access 
to Google Forms as part of the Google Apps suite.  I thought I read somewhere 
that you can use Google Forms in another fashion as well where the form and 
response are kept together but I haven't figured out how to do that yet, or 
maybe I'm just mistaken.

Re: Making a clean installation

Hi,
  You can use the same method has you would use to create the bootable USB 
stick but choose the external HD as the target instead.  I haven't been 
following this thread closely so if the instructions for the USB stick aren't 
readily available, let me know and I'll round things up for you.

 You may need sighted help to pick from available wi-fi networks from which 
 to boot.  I recommend using Ethernet (including Thunderbolt/USB adaptors 
 from Apple) as these require no sighted help.

Re: Making a clean installation

2014-07-16 Thread Sabahattin Gucukoglu

Yes.  Once the unit boots off the network, you can turn on VoiceOver.  But not 
before.  Use Ethernet, and you don't have to do that.

It certainly is convenient to build a disposable USB installer thumb drive.  
Remember to go to the Mac App Store and download and remake your USB stick 
whenever the installer is updated, to save you downloading updates again later. 
 Still, this is a harder process than it really should be.

How to create a bootable OS X Snow Leopard USB drive from Mac news daily


How to create a bootable OS X Snow Leopard USB drive
by MacDailyNews
[cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]"Even though OS X Snow Leopard has been 
around for quite a few years, it remains a favorite for some Mac users 
with legacy software support," Andrew Kunesh writes for Tuts+. 
"Additionally, some older Macs stopped receiving updates after Snow 
Leopard, forcing IT departments to continue support."
"Because of this, it's important to keep a bootable Snow Leopard install 
disk around if you have a Snow Leopard machine or manage them," Kunesh 
writes. "However, there is no automatic way to create this drive on your 
Mac, so I'll show you how to do so in this tutorial."
"Before starting this tutorial, ensure that you have a USB drive with at 
least 8GB of storage as well as a Snow Leopard retail DVD or disk 
image," Kunesh writes. "Grey DVDs that were included with a Mac at the 
time of purchase cannot be used to make USB boot drives as they do not 
include drivers for Macs other than the computer it was shipped with.

If I understand correctly, the new operating system Apple has developed
requires all apps developed using it to be accessible.  I have also heard
that it is really easy to use by some app developers.  That is very

there, it's still, in my opinion, not as good as apple.

Reformatting and Reinstalling The OS

2014-07-16 Thread Brandon A. Olivares

Hello,

I am giving away my old Mac, and I would like to totally reformat it so it is 
like new with none of my old files or applications on it.

The instructions I found talk about holding command-R while starting up, then 
running disk utility. My question is, is all of this going to be accessible, or 
will I need sighted assistance? I assume this will boot it up into a different 
format, and I don't know if voiceover can be started there.

Has anyone done this? Any tips would be appreciated.

Peace,
Brandon

Re: Speaking TV guides -Offcom consultation

2014-07-16 Thread 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries

Dunno about anywhere else. I used to have Cox but canceled the TV
portion years ago. That said, I thought the US FCC CVAA was requiring
all cable providers to make their set top boxes accessible so I would
think changes are coming across the US.

When I was at CSUN earlier this year I got to attend Comcast's

iPhone app where you could say "tune the weather channel" and the app
would tell the settop box to change the channel. Like curb cuts a lot
of this stuff is useful for everyone so I hope the UK goes the same
direction as the US as far as advanced communications and the FCC
stuff. What is concerning is that the existing UK accessibility laws
really aren't enforced so would this end up as another bit of fluff
that nobody really implements?

OffCom regulates communications in the UK. They are looking for
responses on whether they should make it compulsory for
manufacturers to make all electronic programme guides speak. I know
most of you are not in the UK, but, like the business with the
Kindle and other e-readers and the FCC, there will inevitably be
knock---on effects for all of us, no matter where we live.

The link to the consultation is:-

http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/consultations/speaking-tv/?utm_source=update&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=speak-tv

OffCom have assured me they welcome contributions from outside the UK.

So, sorry if I have transgressed etiquette, but I hope it was in a
good cause.

Best wishes

Re: Reformatting and Reinstalling The OS

Don't worry. All of this is accessible. Just make sure to press 
command-f5 to start VoiceOver and you should be all set.

Re: Reformatting and Reinstalling The OS

I've done it several times, and if you look at the recent thread on doing a 
clean install, that's exactly what you want to do. Yes, it is all accessible, 
with one exception. When you boot into Recovery mode, you will need sighted 
help to ensure you arrow to the right drive. That is why I suggest making an 
install disk on a thumb drive if you can; you can re-use it as often as you 
like, and you can use Startup Disk in System Preferences to tell your Mac to 
boot into it before you restart. This way you can do everything on your own. 
Anyway, once you are in your installer or Recovery HD, hit cmd-f5 to start VO. 
You might be using the old Fred voice, but you will definitely have speech.

 Alex, just a thought but have you over time downloaded more than one voice

 I know this wouldn't be the reason why your hard drive should be filling 
 up so. However, if you have more than one voice that you don't use 
 anymore, maybe it might be worth it getting rid of it and in the process 
 gaining some disc space back.
 
 I know this doesn't solve your problem but just an idea for what it is 
 worth.
 
 I hope you will solve the mystery of this strange behaviour.

I'm not looking for the best sound, just a external sound card to use in

There is a USB audio standard that many devices follow, which is why they will

responsiveness in VMWare fusion

2014-07-16 Thread Scott Erichsen

Hi all,

I'm working with a friend who has a macbook pro 13inch with the complete
maxed out specs. 16gb ram, I7 processor and 1tb SSD.

He is using windows 8 under VMWare fusion.

He's given windows 8gb ram and is finding that the VM is super slow to react
to key presses.

I know that there is a trick to adjusting the buffer size so things will
speed up, but this did horrible things to my system as well as his system
requiring reactivation of JAWS and the sound was horribly glitchy at times.

Is anyone who uses JAWS in a VM on windows 7 or 8 getting great
responsiveness? If so, what did you do? Are you using 32bit or 64bit? 64bit
would be good if possible and are you using a macbook pro or air and what
are the specs.

Recreating the VM or modifying it is an option and I am prepared to work on
this until it's fixed.

Thanks.

Scott

Re: Macbook Drive Mysteriously Full

Just to update everyone, I eventually figured out part of the problem. This Mac 
came with Mountain Lion, so my Mavericks upgrade held onto the legacy versions 
of Numbers, Pages, and iMovie. All told, erasing those three, plus the current 
version of iMovie since I never use it, freed up around ten gigabytes of space. 
I now have eleven gigs free, which is much better, and that's after installing 
both Xcode5 and the Xcode6 beta. Obviously, if you rely on these older versions 
of iLife or iWork apps, hang onto them, but if you don't need them and are sure 
you never will, you might want to just get rid of them completely. Only those 
who performed an upgrade to os10.9 will have this happen to them, I believe, 
though I could be wrong and Mavericks might come with legacy versions no matter 
what. Anyway, it's something to think about. Also, if you never plan to use 
iMovie, you can get rid of that as it is a very large app, over 2GB in size.

Re: responsiveness in VMWare fusion

I changed my sound buffers so audio games would play better, and this caused my 
screen reader to work better too. First, I'd see if it is even that; have a 
sighted person watch as you perform normal tasks. If Windows reacts immediately 
but speech lags, consider changing the sound buffer size. If the whole thing is 
slow, your problem lies elsewhere. If you want the link to the article I used, 
let me know and I can dig it up. I can say, though, that I did this with no 
adverse effects to my VM (the trick is to completely shut down the VM first).

Maybe there's some sort of example you can follow for a working example of a 
feed that works the way Apple wants it too.

Re: responsiveness in VMWare fusion

I use Windows 7 and NVDA. Yes, this change may well de-authorize Jaws, but 
honestly, that's a Jaws problem. It happens if you modify a VM, or change out 
the ram in your physical computer, or any other modification. One of the many 
reasons I prefer NVDA.

Anyway, here is the link to the article:

Re: What's the best way to create fillable forms on the Mac?

2014-07-16 Thread Eileen Misrahi

Hi Donna,

Are you needing to create a form with edit fields, checkboxes, drop down combo 
boxes? I haven't tried this yet, but if you have office running on the Windows 
side and saved it as a DOCX file/template, wouldn't it open in TextEdit or in 
another processing app on the Mac side and have the individual be able to fill 
in the information? Since I'm not an advance user of the Mac OS and all of the 
possibilities that an app on the Mac side would be able to work in this matter. 
I'll try to create a small test form and see if I can open it up on the Mac 
side and post when I get some idea if it will work. I'm curious myself if this 
will solve one issue for me, as I use a template form DOCX in my work to 
streamline it and use my time more efficiently. Also,are you permitted to use 
digital signatures?  

Best,
Eileen
