Buying VMFusion 7 Pro.
Morning. Now I have caught up with most of my E-mail lists, and have read the most important things, I tried buying Fusion 7 Pro. It didn't matter what I did, selecting Pay Pal or my Debit Visa card there was an error at the end of the buying process which VM knew about as it said if we had problems with any paying method there was an E-mail given which we had to write to. Has anyone encountered problems buying VMFusion? I don't know when this will be fixed. I used Digital River as I am in the UK.

I will try it again when I get home as I am at work using Windows and VMWare does not work so well on Windows!

Re: navigating tables in a word document
Hi all, Gigi, thanks for the explanation. The tables were created by someone else. Actually I think what they did was scanned the docuement, converted it to word so I could get access to it. And I suspect this has thrown the formatting way off, which is my reason for asking the follow up question. I suspect there is a focus problem too, but I am not an experienced user. I am going to try the document in pages on my Ipad just to see if it will read a little better.

I just discovered that if you get an inaccessible form that does nothing when you press the tab key, because the author of the PDF file didn't bother to consider us, there is an option in PDF Pen Pro to find the form fields. It goes through the file and makes the things accessible. I just did one, and the person I sent it to said it worked. I am not sure I got everything, and that's what wee want to test. The version, which I got from the App store yesterday, is 6.3.2. I had to go to the App store because I got it from there in the first place, so it didn't work for me to update within the program.

Re: navigating tables in a word document
Hi there Watch out though. Make a copy. I accidentally erased a table on my iPhone and I still don't know how I did it. I failed to press command s on my Mac first, I was in the Cloud, and somehow I couldn't get back to the older one that had the table still. Also, I couldn't figure out, and I need to work on this some time, how to get out of a cell once I double tapped on it when I was in my iPhone table. If you figure it out, please let me know.

Re: PDF Pen Pro
Hi there Are you talking about those files that are made accessible, like those tax files that IRS does? I think so because when I was using JAWS it said something about tagging. If that's what you talking about, the answer is yes. I did a 1040 form this past tax year, and I believe that thing is tagged. The only thing was I couldn't do all the checkboxes. I haven't tried one of the IRS forms with this newest version 6.3. You can try a demo version of this program. Gigi On Sep 5, 2014, at 7:32 AM, Jonathan C.

Re: Mediasniffers.
I don't think there currently is such a tool as media is embedded in so many ways in the browser. Only solution is to comb through the rendered HTML to dig up the URL. Media in Safari is handled by the QuickTime plugins and there are no VLC plugins as of yet. So even if you disabled the QT plugins that would just result in errors. Embedding another video player such as VLC into Safari would probably take some tricky work for a developer. CB On 9/4/14, 2:41 PM, Anders Holmberg wrote: Hi!

Re: Voiceover Randomly Stops Talking
Any other ideas about this? It is really frustrating. It didn't happen all day yesterday, and then it happened like 5 times last night. I verified my disk and everything was fine. I repaired permissions but I doubt that's the issue. The strange thing is that it's only when I'm editing files. Usually I do this in TextEdit or in vim on Terminal. This happens to be a lot of the work I do, so that doesn't help. Any ideas of how I might try to fix this would be appreciated. --- Peace, Brandon Awaken To Silence: Awaken To The Silence That Has Always Been Within You Facebook: AwakenToSilence Twitter: @awakentosilence Tumblr: awakentosilence.tumblr.com On Sep 4, 2014, at 11:11 AM, Brandon A.

Re: Adobe Acrobat Reader and Safari
Hi Tim and others. I just made what I hope is going to work in most cases. I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Reader and all those plug-ins that had the name which included Adobe Reader as part of their names. I test what would happen by going to the IRS web site which has a whole bunch of pdf files. I called up one of the nonaccessible ones, and lo, it talked. Then I found out that if I had the VO cursor sitting on the place where it started talking, that I could save it out as a good form file. I thought it might try and save the whole page, but it didn't. I thought it would call up Preview, but it didn't. I guess Safari is reading the text. I discovered I could interact with the text and go VO down arrow line by line. It wouldn't let me enter anything like it will for sighted people. This is a definite improvement over having Adobe installed.

Re: My Dropbox question still not answered
Bill, Itlooks like you might need to move your dropbox folder to a drive that has enough space to accomodate all the folders you want to sync. I don't think there is a way to have dropbox sync from folders that are not located within the Dropbox folder.

Re: Adobe Acrobat Reader and Safari
Hi Gigi, Try this. Go to your file menu while your in safari and reading that text and choose export as pdf. I'm not sure but i did this the other day and it took that safari text and exported or saved it out to where ever you want and it then opened up in preview on my desk top. I know the option is there not sure about whether it said export as pdf or save as pdf but I got it to work.

You can remove this plugin by going into your Macintosh HD, Library, Internet Plugins and removing the Adobe Reader Internet Plugin.

Adding signatures
Seems simple but I have not succeeded in creating any yet. I want to create one for each of my 3 email accounts in Mountain Lion. I bring up Mail Preferences and select the Signature tab. I press the Add button and muddle from there. There is a Kames item but not sure how to type in the name. Then the text field for the signature text. If I type in text I cannot hit return to start a new line as I want to have 3 lines, is that possible? If I copy text into that area, I see the word "actions" in there. I may not be doing things in the right order or using the correct VO commands. Can use some help with this, thanks.

Truly bizarre problems; can't figure out if it's my MacBook, my iPhone, or Both
Hello all. I am pretty sure I am looking at a repair appointment at this point, but have no idea whether it is an iPhone issue or a MacBook issue, or perhaps both. I called Apple earlier this evening because I was having odd issues with the volume, for both VoiceOver and media content. For VoiceOver, it would happen after a long period of inactivity; for music, it would happen every ten minutes of listening or so, and only when I used earphones. The volume would suddenly lower by about 20 to 30 percent, and the volume buttons would have no effect. When I toggled the power switch to unlock and then lock the screen, however, it would revert to normal. I tried: 1. Rebooting the iPhone; 2. syncing the iPhone; 3. Checking if using different earphones made a difference when listening to music. No change. After calling Apple, they ran a diagnostic which did not show any issues. I was told to back up and restore. My restore is in progress; however, my latest restore, which was on my computer, is showing, but I cannot seem to find a button to restore from that backup. In addition, each time I connect my iPHone to my computer, something hinky happens: either it doesn't seem connected at all, or it makes the soft "charging" sound several times in relatively quick succession. I have gotten several bizarre messages: "cannot read this iPhone" or "this device is no longer connected" or "Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer it has been disabled". (My computer is plugged in, so power isn't an issue right now.) So I cannot even check to see if the restoration worked for the volume problem because my iPhone won't sync properly. It is currently downloading content from iCloud, and my apps are in various stages of downloading progress. Could this be impacting anything with the syncing of my music library from iTunes? My phone is showing no content in music. At this point, when Apple gives me a call back tomorrow, I don't know whether I should try for a repair of *both* my iPhone and MacBook, or whether this is strictly an iPHone issue. If anyone has any ideas about what could be going on with any of this, I would truly appreciate your help/information.

Re: Truly bizarre problems; can't figure out if it's my MacBook, my iPhone, or Both
Christine: I have no idea what's going on here, exactly. I've never seen an issue like this before. However, I'd suspect the issue is primarily an iPhone issue. That's where I'd start with for repairs, at least. I would take the mac with you to the appointment, just so if they need to test the phone wit the mac they can, but making the appointment an iPhone appointment should be sufficient as near as I can figure. Best, and do keep us posted. -John On Sep 5, 2014, at 21:30, Christine Grassman wrote: > Hello all.

Re: Adding signatures
Ok. I have not actually checked how it will work when I compose a message. I will do that later. Start Mail, then go to Preferences. Land on the Signature tab. You should see "All Signatures" and your email accounts under that. Select the account you want. Stop interacting and arrow over and find the Add button. (I am doing this from memory because the Mac is across the room). Interact with Names, this is where you type a name for the sig. Stop interacting and arrow to Signature. Interact and add the text you want to use in the sig. If you have more than one email account, repeat the process. I may have to go back and remove amy failed attemtps but I think I have it. And I hope this helps you too. For me the key was to follow an orderly path.

I want to create one for each of my 3 email accounts in Mountain Lion. I bring up Mail Preferences and select the Signature tab. I press the Add button and muddle from there. There is a Kames item but not sure how to type in the name. Then the text field for the signature text. If I type in text I cannot hit return to start a new line as I want to have 3 lines, is that possible? If I copy text into that area, I see the word "actions" in there. I may not be doing things in the right order or using the correct VO commands. Can use some help with this, thanks.

Re: Truly bizarre problems; can't figure out if it's my MacBook, my iPhone, or Both
Hi, I would reset the phone to factory settings, then connect to iTunes the restore from backup should now work.

Mail Contacts and Calendars
While in System Prefs, Mail Contacts and Calendars to add my 2nd iCloud account, I noticed that the first iCloud account and the Gmail account have two listings each, each one having different items enabled. Is this normal? I dont want to mess things up in there while trying to make things tidy.
