Re: Should I upgrad? Cannot restore my iPhone 5c: was My day with Yosemite

[Jessica Moss]

I took it into the Sprint store yesterday afternoon, and they did the same 
things I tried to do and had no luck.  So tried taking it to an Apple store and 
had no idea you had to go on an appointment basis, and it was so late by the 
time we got there that the only walk in they had available was about 10-20 
minuttes later, and at that point it was close to 6:00 at night, so nobody felt 
like waiting that long, so will just call Sprint and have them send me a new 
one.
  I just don't get what would cause my phone to go bonkers like that just over 
an update.  It was doing this crazy thing where it just was showing me the 
progress bar, which wasn't going anywhere, so I plugged it into the computer, 
and it started to download from there, but the progress bar on the phone was 
still sitting, then it all went to Hell in a handbasket from there.

Re: Should I upgrad? Cannot restore my iPhone 5c: was My day with Yosemite

[Cheryl Homiak]

The fact that you tried to change to the computer in the middle of the 
attempted download and update might possibly have confused things in some way 
though I think people have done that successfully. Progress bars have been 
known to stay at a certain point for quite a while without it meaning something 
is wrong but I think people have also switched to the computer in the middle 
and been okay.
Yes, Apple does require appointments unless you can get a walk-in, which I 
guess you now know. What happens often, though not always, is that the person 
calls Apple for over-the-phone help and when they are unable to solve the 
problem they advise you to make an appointment with the Apple store. I think 
that's the way I knew an appointment was needed when I had to go in for some 
reason.

 But making calls from your computer in Yosemite, if I understand

 from your Mac if I understand correctly. So I don't think it will help you 
 to make calls if you upgrade to Yosemite but your phone is broken. And I

Re: virtualbox and osx 10.10

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

From what I've read, Clang is slowly replacing GCC so Apple is just 
jumping in with both feet (as is BSD). An interesting discussion of that 
is here:

Re: Physical layout of ports on macbook pro retina

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

On the left side starting at the hinge is the new style (thinner) 
MagSafe power connector followed by two thunderbolt 2 connectors, a USB 
3 connector and a headphone jack. On the other side, starting at the 
hinge is another USB3 connector, and HDMI video out and an SDXC card 
slot. While I realize that lots of folks do stuff over wifi, I find the 
lack of an Ethernet port (or the requirement to also buy a Thunderbolt 
to Ethernet dongle) disappointing.

Re: my day with yosemite

[Phil Halton]

I just completed an upgrade to Yosemite from Mavericks on both my MacBook Air 
and iMac. I did not do a clean install on either, and have never done a clean 
install upgrading all the way from Lion. Both machines are running flawlessly 
with Yosemite, and the dreaded VO lag that kept me from upgrading until now has 
not been a problem to any degree. Just because some of us are having 
difficulties with the upgrade doesn’t mean that no one should upgrade.

Re: first impression experiences from a former linux user

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

If you Google "virtualbox command line" you'll find lots of stuff. This 
one for installing Ubuntu seemed good:


http://www.howopensource.com/2011/06/how-to-use-virtualbox-in-terminal-commandline/

Once you have virtualbox installed you can always do a man VBoxManage to 
get all the possible commands.


Here is a more recipe style setup:

http://nakkaya.com/2012/08/30/create-manage-virtualBox-vms-from-the-command-line/

Nice thing is this is all free so if you don't like it or it doesn't

Most folks who don't want to deal with the CLI use VMWare but you pay for that

startvm vmname. The VirtualBox installer is the standard Mac one so you won't 
have much trouble getting the app itself installed. As far as what happens 
inside the virtual machine, that depends on what you install there. The virtual 
machine software is just an emulation of a plain old intel PC. So what you 
install there is only as accessible as a real box would be. So if you like 
speak on linux on a hardware PC then you'll need to get it that installed on 
linux on your virtual PC. That won't change any whether you run virtualbox or 
vmware. Once you're in the guest OS the virtualization system is not involved.

As Genna mentioned previously in this thread, virtualbox does the same thing as 
vmware and is free. The downside is that the GUI is not very accessible, but 
you don't really need the GUI as it's all configurable from terminal. In other 
words you would use terminal to get virtualbox up and running with your unix of 
choice and then you could do what you want inside that virtual machine. All 
that said, just remember that OSX is not Linux. It's based on BSD, which also 
is not Linux.

terminal crashing and it doesn't seem to happen if voiceover isn't on.

I did run vmware with linux for a time and it's doable. I also fixed up an old 
powerpc Mac mini with wheezy for kind of a backup for my linux needs.

Having homebrew and/or Macports does much broaden your options in terminal also.

On the left side starting at the hinge is the new style (thinner) MagSafe power

another USB3 connector, and HDMI video out and an SDXC card slot. While I 
realize that lots of folks do stuff over wifi, I find the lack of an Ethernet

Re: Help! clean installed of Yosemite major crashed

[David Griffith]

There is a lot in your mail but to deal they the first point first, are you 
using Alex as your voice. On my 2011 iMac the difference between using Alex and 
Daniel is dramatic.
With Daniel my machine is so sluggish it is virtually unusable but with Alex it 
is quite snappy.

If you were using scansoft voices like Daniel or Samantha  I would personally 
start again with another clean install and this time as soon as the system 
loads change to Alex as the default voice and then see how you go.

Then you can start reimporting your music etc.

Re: Physical layout of ports on macbook pro retina

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

I just received one of these machines for my church's secretary and it 
did not include the dongle. I did buy that for another $26. While there 
is wifi there, it does not provide access to financial systems and such 
so she has to plug into the wired network. I think the dongle came up as 
a suggestion in the order list along with printers and other 
accessories. I was pretty sure it wasn't included so I added that and a 
displayport to VGA dongle so she can hook up to a projector.

I did run vmware with linux for a time and it's doable. I also fixed up an old 
powerpc Mac mini with wheezy for kind of a backup for my linux needs.

Having homebrew and/or Macports does much broaden your options in terminal also.

synching playlist in itunes 12

[denise avant]

Hello all,
I have two itunes 12 questions
I have created a playlist of songs on my mac  and want to select the playlist 
back to my phone. How do I do this under Itunes 12. I cannot locate the 
playlist when the phone is connected. I often did this very easily with 
previous versions.

I also want to delete some aps from my mac. How do I do that under itunes 12?
thanks.

A VM Fusion question about disks

Hi.

When I get an error stating my disk is nearly full, are they referring to
the disk the app is on, my OS drive, or the drive the VM file is on, my Data

Re: A VM Fusion question about disks

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

Probably your virtual drive. When you first set up the virtual machine 
you tell it how much of your Mac's disk space you will allow it to use. 
In any case, you can quickly verify this by doing Get Info (command-I) 
from the finder on your Mac's drive to find out how much is left. If you 
really are out of room on your virtual machine you'll need to do some 
cleanup. I suspect changing the drive size of the virtual machine is a 
non-trivial bit of work, as it is on any non-Mac machine.

Re: A VM Fusion question about disks

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

Right, but there is a limit to the expansion. So if you set up a Windows 
VM with a 40GB automatically expanding drive Windows will say it's a 
40GB drive but on the Mac it might initially only use 10GB. As you add 
apps and such it will grow but only up to 40GB. I've never run into this 
but I assume Windows will start to complain when you get near the limit. 
So how much free space do you currently have on your mac HD?

Probably your virtual drive. When you first set up the virtual machine 
you tell it how much of your Mac's disk space you will allow it to 
use. In any case, you can quickly verify this by doing Get Info 
(command-I) from the finder on your Mac's drive to find out how much 
is left. If you really are out of room on your virtual machine you'll 
need to do some cleanup. I suspect changing the drive size of the 
virtual machine is a non-trivial bit of work, as it is on any non-Mac 
machine.

Re: newbie any help from members with a little vision

[Pamela Francis]

Hi,
You have a means to reverse the colors on your screen. I think the keyboard 
command is option command F5.
That takes you to accessibility screen. Close to the bottom of that screen 
there is a checkbox that says invert colors in the check it run check it.
If the command doesn't work or if someone can correct me feel free. I'm pretty 
sure it does. If you have any more issues, I'll do my best to help you.

Hi Daniela,

Right now the Giraffe Reader does not support the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus.  I’m

Hope this helps.

Re: A VM Fusion question about disks

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

Right. If you map a drive letter to a folder on the Mac side then it's 
just a folder that can store up to the available space on your physical 
hard drive. I don't usually do that as I'm usually running Windows in my 
VM and don't want it infecting my Mac with whatever it might have picked 
up from somewhere.

Re: synching playlist in itunes 12

[Colin Matthews]

Hi!
I’ll answer the second question 1st!
When in iTunes just press Command+7 and that will put you straight into Apps, 
then select the my apps radial button and then arrow across to the apps table, 
interact and just arrow down or hit the 1st letter of a app, and when you hit a 
app you wish to remove just hit delete and follow the prompt’s!
Now for your iPhone!
When the phone is connected find the iPhone button and VO space on it!
Arrow across past the scroll area and you’ll have a list to interact with!
In that list find music and stop interacting and arrow left and interact with 
the scroll area, and you can go through the options in there like only sync 
selected playlist and others!

Update on my adventure in to Yosemite Installation

[Sarai Bucciarelli]

Hello:
Well, if you saw my earlier message, you know my first ever clean install 
didn’t quite work. My CCC program put a weird file in the Mac startup that was 
acting weird. Anyway.. Thanks to Dan at Apple Accessibility, we were able to 
restore my mail from a time machine backup. I believe I have iTunes up and 
running with all music and movies and tv shows restored. Dropbox has finished 
sinking files. I’m now manually download my apps.

Re: no rrs reader is installed

[Alex Hall]

It's trying to open a link to an RSS feed, not a webpage. RSS (really simple 
syndication) is basically a feed of content to which you can subscribe. Then, 
whenever something new is added by the website, your RSS reader displays it. 
The App Store link is so you can find an RSS reader to install, which will then 
keep updating itself as new recipes appear. RSS can also be used for blog post 
updates, new news articles, and plenty more. Some people like the free Vienna 
app (not in the App Store), others like ReadKit (in the App Store, not free). 
I'm sure there are other decent ones out there I just don't know about.

Re: newbie any help from members with a little vision

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

I'm not sure about window colors and such but in preferences under 
desktop & screensaver under the desktop tab is where you can pick a 
desktop picture. In that list of folders under Apple is also one item 
called "Solid Colors" which you can use to set your desktop color to 
anything you want.


For finder windows, from what I found, you can only change the 
background color in the icon view. To do so, open a window, make sure 
you are in the icon view and the command-J to show view options. In 
there is a radio button that lets you choose between white, color or 
picture. So you can make it any color you want but they don't let you do 
this in the non-icon view.


Another site suggested using f.lux:

https://justgetflux.com/news/pages/mac/

which lets you change the color scheme based on the time of day but it 
was pointed out that you can customize those so you could use it to make 
the color scheme whatever you want.


Hope this helps.

If memory serves me correctly, you go into system preferences,
look for display. I think the color options are in there. However,
the person who wrote the other reply is correct, you can also
invert colors through excess ability.

Re: Changing email address

[Alex Hall]

The Previous Recipients item in Mail's Window menu will show you all the 
auto-complete addresses that aren't in your contacts. I'd delete the one in 
there now, and simply write the new one once; after that, that new one should 
be the one hat auto-fills. Again, if this is a contact, you'll need to make 
that change in your Contacts app instead.

a horrible frustrating evening in vmware land

[deedra waters]

Well, after realizing /remembering that vmware had a 30 day free trial, i 
decided to take it and just build a vm with that. I’ll call it the evening from 
hell, but on the other hand i learned a lot more about how complicated and 
annoying vmware fusion was but on the other hand i have my linux vm and a sane 
terminal again:P

Thanks to those who were helping me i greatly appreciate the help. I think 
before it’s all said and done i’m likely to end up with using the mac guy for 
those things that are easier to use there and probably running ssh into my 
macbook to do any command line things from there. It seems like the sanest 
solution there. I don’t look forward to paying for vmware fusion but on the 
other hand, once you get past it’s strange layout  it’s a better choice then 
probably any of the other solutions i was debating. There’s not really lag 
between the vm and the sound of speak coming through the speakers like i 
expected there to be. There’s a slight delay but i’ve seen worse with ssh so i 
can live with the slight delay.

[deedra waters]

I need to free up the caps lock key os that i can use the apple keyboard in the

RE: newbie any help from members with a little vision

[M. Taylor]

Hello Zoe,

You are definitely a Windows user, to be sure (smile), as am I.  

You have gotten some excellent replies on this thread to which I will add the 
following:

The only option of which I am aware that will even come close to allowing you 
to customize color schemes on the Mac, is AI Square's Zoomtext.  

I believe they offer a free trial period during which you may test drive the 
product and see if you like it.  

Good Luck,

Mark
