Re: Buying mp3 albums from amazon and downloading to the mac

[David Griffith]

You need  to use not   the inaccessible Amazon app but instead install the 
alternative Amazon Music Downloader.
Generally in checking out you need to reject the option to use the Amazon app 
and select the option which says something like no thanks use the Amazon Music 
Downloader.

Re: Finder Podcast Part 1

[David Griffith]

Unfortunately  I do not have a Linux setup.
I have tried researching setting up a Podcast feed and it seems that eater you 
do it by hand coding which seems a considerable learning curve or you have to 
pay for services or apps which simplify the process. It is not obvious if these 
clients are accessible.
I do not mind shelling out for a one off app but would  am hesitant about 
paying out  for an ongoing service.
Does anybody know of accessible Podcast Feed creation clients that are free or 
low cost and similar web hosting services that are also free or low cost?

I suppose an option would be just to see if Apple Vis would be interested in 
hosting the podcasts.

Re: Buying mp3 albums from amazon and downloading to the mac

[David Griffith]

Further to my previous message the link for the Mac version of the Amazon Music 
Downloader is 
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/dmusic/help/amd-bm.html?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0#
 


Alternatively if the link is too long and split just Google for it which is 
what I did.
I have used this on the Windows side but only just installed it on my Mac.
However theoretically it should work as on Windows it requires no intervention 
and simply  downloads mp3s when requested from the site so presumably tis 
should work on the Mac as well.
I will have to go and buy track to test it I guess.

Re: Apple TV and files not purchased

[Ray Foret Jr]

Thanks Mark.  I shall have to keep iTunes open then.  Didn't know that.  Now, 
after fooling with my sound outputs last night, I found that I have lost my 
sounds when connecting to headphones but found a way to get voice over back.  
Also, it's so weird because now default doesn't show up on my sound outputs 
anymore:  Just the headphone port or speakers, which ever one is in use.

Re: Is there any accessible way to sign up to Sirius XM?

Hi,

I gave up XM sometime ago because of the lack of accessibility. I do miss it 
and should probably take another look. Does anybody know whether or not the 
college sports channels are now available via the iPhone app?

Thanks,

Hi Robert, I'm sorry to say you still can't listen to college football games 
with the iPhone app or online. Everything else I'm interested in is available 
through the iPhone app and with radium on the Mac. I use tune in radio for all 
my college football listening. Sorry I don't know about college basketball. I'm 
just not a fan. Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the games today! Rod

Re: Apple TV and files not purchased

On this same topic, I have a question. If I have some DVDs that of TV shows 
that are not available on iTunes as of yet, should I just wait until iTunes 
adds them and then purchase them from the iTunes store to watch on my Apple TV? 
Or can I rip the DVDs into iTunes and tag them appropriately to be watched on 
the Apple TV? Thanks.

Re: Is there any accessible way to sign up to Sirius XM?

[Juliette Swiler]

Also, regarding Sirius XM, if you have an Internet radio subscription, you can 
listen to Sirius XM channels through the Radium application on the Mac. This is 
totally accessible with VoiceOver, and works quite well.

 Hi all,
 I notice that the online signup, and even player, of SiriusXM is highly 
 inaccessible with VoiceOver. A friend of mine got an offer which 
 apparently had an alternate form. Since this is probably no longer 
 available, is the best option to just call?
 Thanks.

Re: Buying mp3 albums from amazon and downloading to the mac

[Karen Lewellen]

just an FYI,
Amazon Claims? to have revamped their accessible options on their 
accessible  edition of the site.
I have no idea if it makes a difference with our task, but perhaps? worth 
checking.

www.amazon.com/access
Or something like that smiles.

Re: Finder Podcast Part 1

[Jonathan Mosen]

Hi David, in my experience, Applevis is always looking for good material and 
will take submissions. That's definitely the easiest option.
Others include Audioboom, http://www.audioboom.com  
which offers a podcast feed when you use their premium service.
Spreaker, http://www.spreaker.com  will also work, 
and you can with a plug-in or two create podcasts through a free WordPress.com 
 blog.
Best of luck and thanks for your work on these.

wouldn’t it be easier to just open it up with command, shift, K?  vo spacebar

open the public folder and copy files to your desired folder?  This seems much 
shorter and easier than doing the connect to server way.  HTH

Re: Western Digital my icloud NaS drive application and Voiceover

[Andrew Lamanche]

Hi Erik, Klyph and others,

Thanks for your responses.  I’m beginning to find my way thanks to your tips.  
I can see that after all this panic I will be able to use the Western Digital 
Drive.  Shame about their native application but as long as I can use it, 
that’s ok.  I’ve written to them but I am not sure they care.  Shame on them 
too!

I have created my own account and I have found my private folder as well as the 
public folders.  One question I have, when you create an account for yourself 
or somebody else for that matter, do you also create a volume, i.e. partition 
the drive?  In Western Digital speak they call these things shares.  Is this 
actually a partition?  In finder I can see a volume with the same name as the 
name of my account and Voiceover says volume.  Is it a partition?

Many thanks again.

Andrew

Re: Western Digital my icloud NaS drive application and Voiceover

[erik burggraaf]

No,  These are just folders in the one file system on your drive.  Mac OS calls 
them betwork volumes and treats them like individual hard disks, especually 
when you use the connect to server daialog to reach them, but they are just 
standard folders according to the drives firmware.

You can see this by browsing the files on the drives web interface at 
wemycloud.local.

I’m glad you like the drive.  I enjoy it too.  Too bad they don’t have a 32 tb 
version.

Best,

Erik Burggraaf

 Yes, I personally didn’t like the app.  I used it on mavericks, and it 
 worked just fine.  Haven’t tried it on Yosemite though, so can’t speak to 
 that issue.  The easier way of managing it is to go on the web.  Find your 
 NAS’s IP address, and put it in the address bar.  This way you can manage 
 the password, set up profiles, or what ever else you need to do.  Once you 
 set it up though, you can just go to the network section of your mac with 
 command shift K, and view and manage your files that way.  HTH

Re: ScanSnap, Scanning Solution?

[James Lee]

The question is, is their Scansnap software accessible?
I might try Cannon p-215II if Scansnap is not accessible with Voiceover. 
The product description for p-215II says it supports Twain on both Mac and 
Windows.

Strange things happen when i copy files on my mac

[Krister Ekstrom]

Hi there.
I’m in the process of making a music library and another for my books on my 
NAS. When i have copied some files, the NAS just goes down and some info is 
lost. Or it’s not lost precisely, it’s still on my Macs internal hard drive, 
however i have a folder by the same name as the file i attempted to copy on the 
NAS but it is dimmed and when i try to delete it, this is what comes up: Finder 
couldn’t delete file.mp3 because the object is being used. Problem is, it is 
not. All the apps that could use mp3 files have all gone  busted or how you 
say. I’m at a loss here, so if someone knows how to fix this i’d be a very 
happy camper.

manually managing content on iphone with itunes 12

[Ioana Gandrabur]

Hello,

Since Yosemite and iTunes 12 I'm having trouble using the feature to manually 
manage content on the iPhone. Is it still possible to  select a group of media 
files and copy and paste or just drag them to the iphone without sinking the 
whole phone? 
Sorry if this has already been covered but could not easily find anything about 
it.
Thanks for your help,


Ioana

Re: Western Digital my icloud NaS drive application and Voiceover

[Andrew Lamanche]

Erik,

Can I ask you another question?  At the moment, I have my WD my cloud NAS 
attached via ethernet to airport extreme.  I also have an airport express on 
the network, and airport express has an ethernet port too.  Do you know whether 
I can actually attach the WD my cloud to the ethernet port on airport express 
rather than my airport extreme?

Thanks again for your reply.

 Could you say a bit more about how you access WD my cloud from your

 I’m getting more familiar with the web interface for changing various

 how I might store files on WD my cloud.

Re: how to remove user profile and all content on the mac?

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

Depends on how safe you require. Usually just formatting the drive and 
reinstalling the OS should get you there. Sure, it's possible that with 
the right forensics software somebody could revive your files but is 
that really a concern?

Re: how to remove user profile and all content on the mac?

[Matt Dierckens]

Hi. There is a way of deleting the user account off of the mac, and creating a 
new user without reformatting.
Although, if you're giving that mac to someone, reformatting is your easiest 
and quickest option.

Re: Buying mp3 albums from amazon and downloading to the mac

[Jessica Moss]

They have as far as their site is concerned, which I love, but the last couple 
times I bought music from them, I couldn't do a thing with the cloud player on 
the mac, and only managed 1 time to get their mp3 downloader to work, so I 
could burn it to CD, but couldn't get it to work with the last album I bought 
from them, no matter how many people I talked to, so that was the last time I 
ever bought digital music from them, sense I prefer, if I'm going to buy music, 
that it be on CD, in case my harddrive fails.

Re: Buying mp3 albums from amazon and downloading to the mac

[erik burggraaf]

There’s always the bundle packs they are offering where if you buy the cd, you 
get the mp3 download.

I’m very interested to try it though there are alots of other places my money 
could go really.  As far as their accessible site so called goes, this is the 
21st century.  New paradigm boys and girls.  Amazon should get it right and 
stop wasting time.

Best,

Re: Is there any accessible way to sign up to Sirius XM?

[Mike Arrigo]

Oh, glad to know the radium application can be used for their internet streams. 
Unfortunately, the web based player on their site is totally inaccessible 
because it’s entirely flash based. They really should upgrade to html 5. Also, 
when logging in to hyour account, you have to solve a capcha, and there is no 
audio version of it. I have notified them several times of this, but no change. 
Very annoying to say the least.

Re: Uninstalling an application on the Mac

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

Generally you just go to the apps folder, find the app you don't want 
and throw it in the trash (command-delete). There could be preferences 
files still hanging around but those are tiny and intert so most folks 
don't worry much about them.

Re: how to remove user profile and all content on the mac?

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

The actual formatting process only takes a few seconds. Generally you'll 
want to boot in recovery mode which runs a separate stripped down 
version of the OS, bring up disk utility, format the drive and then 
install a fresh copy of OSX. You'll find lots of details on each of 
these in the list archives but feel free to ask if you can't dig that up.

Re: Buying mp3 albums from amazon and downloading to the mac

[erik burggraaf]

I guess it’s no different from emusic, where the accessibility went from sort 
of OK, to pretty bad to non-existent.  No matter how many blind peopel 
complained about not being able to access the download manager, nothing got 
done.

I guess if the suggestion about using amazon’s busic downloader to sync music 
automatically works, that’s one thing.  Otherwise, amazon has only ever done 
the amount of accessibility they have been forced to do in the past, and 
there’s no reason to expect them to about face now.

It may be one of those cases where you pay your money and take your choice.

best,

Erik Burggraaf

the states, it's not legal to rip copyrighted videos from DVD because it 
requires breaking the encryption to do so. While technically it's easy 
enough to do with tools like RipIt but the mere act of breaking the 
encryption breaks the DMCA passed by Congress which overrides Fair Use. 
Outside the US, who knows. Once ripped you can use tools like Handbrake 
to convert the DVD videos to whatever format you would like.

Or can I rip the DVDs into iTunes and tag them appropriately to be watched on 
the Apple TV? Thanks.

Hello Ray,

The short answer is that, while you can use air play to send media to your 
Apple TV on the fly, I don't recommend it as the primary means of streaming 
media to the Apple TV.

Now, having said this, I will give you the broad strokes in order to accomplish 
your goal.  By the way, I use my Apple TV, frequently, to stream media which I 
personally created or purchased from sources other than Apple.

As a general rule, I import any media that I may want to stream to my Apple TV, 
into iTunes.

Also, the Apple TV and the computer containing the iTunes Library must be on 
the same network; and, while you're at it, make sure they are both signed into 
the same iTunes account.

Next, in order for the Apple TV to see the media in your iTunes Library, iTunes 
must be open on the computer.

Finally, from within the Apple TV interface, select Computers and you will see 
all of the open iTunes Libraries and you can drill down until you locate your 
desired media.

Always keep in mind that there are several ways of streaming media to the Apple 
TV but I find the above method the most convenient and strait-forward.

Good Luck,

Mark

Hi,

In my iTunes library both on my Mac and on my iPhone, I have custom albums 
which I compiled from vinyl records and or recorded myself.  I want to play 
them using Apple TV but not sure how.  I guess maybe it involves using Air play 
in some way or other but can't figure it out.  Any ideas?  Would iTunes match 
sovle this?  From what I once read in Apple World, it seems not:  but any input 
would be most welcome.

Re: Buying mp3 albums from amazon and downloading to the mac

[Jessica Moss]

Couldn't agree more there; the last album I purchased from them, which I 
unfortunately was forced to download sense they didn't have it in a hard copy, 
I couldn't get the thing to download whatsoever, which was a huge 
disappointment for me, because it was a Christmas CD I bought for Hannah that I 
had as a child, and looked for for years and finally found, and couldn't get 
the issue resolved no matter who I talked to.  I actually had one fool hang up 
on me just because I couldn't understand her, so I asked to be transferred to 
someone else, so when I called back, I told the next person I talked to that I 
was hung up on, and was even one of the ones who explained about how 
enaccessible the site was, one issue I've always had with the main site is the 
page always refreshes on me every few seconds or so, and was amazed to see that 
at least that was fixed.
  I agree there's still a long way to go though, especially given the fact that 
at times their mobile site seems to work better than their app does in terms of 
reading stuff.

Re: Buying mp3 albums from amazon and downloading to the mac

[denise avant]

Well, I guess in the end I really wasn’t surprised by an inaccessibility of the 
Amazon application given its past history. But I wanted to make sure I was not 
overlooking something before claiming a product or software inaccessible. My 
problem was that the album I wanted was not available on Itunes, and so I tried 
Amazon. I found it there. Not only that, if I remember right, if you have 
bought music on CD in the past, you can get the mp3 version free of charge or 
for a small price. So, these are just instances of when you might want to use 
Amazon. And in general, blind customers should have the same access to products 
and services as our sighted peers.

 Good afternoon, are you trying to sign up for satellite radio directly? 
 Were you trying to sign up for the Internet a.k.a. device version of

 satellite service itself, all you will need to do is unfortunately find 
 someone site to read the ID of the unit that you have someone read to you 
 your assigned account number. Now if you’re trying to sign up for the 
 Internet radio, that process is significantly harder for us. Because you 
 have to have an existing account before it really becomes usable. 
 Unfortunately about 90% of the Internet/phone application is not usable by 
 us. So I guess let me boil it all down to this, if you’re a blind guy and 
 you want serious XM, you’d probably just should get the satellite radio 
 offering. My experience has been that that’s the most accessible way to 
 get the service I’ve been a serious XM subscriber since 2008. So there are

Re: Buying mp3 albums from amazon and downloading to the mac

[Jessica Moss]

Oh of course, What I don't get, and this may only be the case with some stuff, 
or may only be an issue with their IPhone app, but have noticed on occasion, 
that even when you try to preview their digital music, there doesn't always 
seem to be an option, which I find extremely disappointing, considering, that 
once again, some of this is stuff I want to get for Hannah, and most of it is 
stuff that's not easy to find anymore, so I want to make sure I'm buying the 
right album.

Re: Buying mp3 albums from amazon and downloading to the mac

   Those albums with no ssmples may be only available from other

I guess if the suggestion about using amazon’s busic downloader to sync music 
automatically works, that’s one thing.  Otherwise, amazon has only ever done 
the amount of accessibility they have been forced to do in the past, and 
there’s no reason to expect them to about face now.

It may be one of those cases where you pay your money and take your choice.

Re: Uninstalling an application on the Mac

[Rob]

you should use a app called app cleaner.
its free.
search for more info at www.applevis.com
or
www.macupdate.com
sometimes apps can leave lots of files behind if you only delete the app 
from the applications folder.

these files left behind can be as large as 70mb.

Re: Western Digital my icloud NaS drive application and Voiceover

You have a 16 tb mycloud?  The tops I’ve seen so far is 4 tb.  Could I buy two 
16’s and combine them into one 32?  I know that I can get a WD external drive 
and expand the 4 tb model up to 7 or 8.  I’ve already got 8tb comfortably

At the moment I’m in the middle of building myself a 32 tb tonido cloud based

 When asked to mount your volumes, say OK.
 Back in finder, you should automatically be taken to the computer folder

 From there, it’s just a matter of copying and pasting.
 
 On the mobile side, I’ve only gotten as far as agreeing to the licence

Intro

[Lorie McCloud]

I just joined this group. I've used Iphones for about 4 years now and 
just got an Iphone 5s. I recently got an Ipad mini too. they're both 
updated to 8.1.1


I'm planning to retire my poor old windows pc and get a Mac mini so I 
may have lots of questions as I learn how to use it. I've already been 
refferred to come manuals and podcasts and such so I'll try to do my 
homework before I ask.
