Re: Cannot find list of backups on MacBook Air in iTunes any more

[Andrew Lamanche]

Hello,

If I go to iTunes, itunes preferences with command+comma, and then interact 
with the toolbar and choose "devices" button, and then stop interacting with 
the toolbar, I can find a list of my backups in a table with which you need to 
interact again.  That's where your backups are located.

But you mentioned "scroll area around the sinc button".  This also still exists 
but in this area you choose whether you want to back up to your computer or to 
iCloud, and you can initiate backup from there too.  You need to have your 
device connected and chosen under device button in order for this scroll area 
to appear.  Then you interact with the scroll area and there you can see all 
sorts of things like your device serial number, check for updates button, 
accessibility button etc.

Hope this will help.

Re: Audio Book Purchase Not Showing UP Anywhere

[Andrew Lamanche]

Also, it might be worth your while checking in "recently purchased" playlist 
and "recently added" playlist too.  I know it is frustrating but that's how i 
managed to find one of my purchases because as Cheryl says sometimes they are 
given unusual categories like "spoken worrd" and therefore are listed in your 
music.

Re: Audio Book Purchase Not Showing UP Anywhere

[Andrew Lamanche]

Alex, 

You said you had purchased this audiobook on your iPhone?  Therefore, have you 
synced your iphone with the computer?  Also, when you connect your iphone to 
your mac, and open itunes, under file menu/devices you have a choice of 
transferring yourp your purchases to your itunes library on your mac.  See 
whether it's available to you and whether you have any purchases to transfer.  
Just a thought.

Re: Cannot find list of backups on MacBook Air in iTunes any more

[Colin Matthews]

Hi!
Another option if needed is to go to the menu [VO+m or Control+f2] and go to 
the file heading and arrow down to the Devices sub menu and arrow right into 
that and you should find all the options in there including restore from back 
up!

what does “copy link” mean? does it copy the link to your clipboard or to 
somewhere else or does it mean “save link as” as in firefox?

Re: links in email

[Ray Foret Jr]

Your first guess is correct.  Copy link will copy the link to the clip board.  
With most current Drop box links, when you click on the link, a special page 
should open up from which you can download the linked file.

basicly you run this talking installer, either from cd or usb then have

then run your windows set up and its pritty straight forward
if you want the installer I can post it some where
some one re did the talking installer and made his own version of it.

As the last person posted, It would be great for you to post where one could 
obtain a talking installer that would work on a 64 bit Mac machine. Thanks.

Best,
Eileen

Re: using it without a printer

[Cheryl Homiak]

No. If you are talking about the Index print application, that has nothing to 
do with creating braille files; it just sends your file to the embosser for 
printing. If you want to turn files to braille, you either have to have another 
program to do that, such as louis or Duxbury (though I think the latter is 
still in Beta on the Mac) or you have to have a file that is already in 
braille, or you have to use the latest firmware on an Index braille embosser 
which provides louis as an option. In fact, even if you are using the latest 
firmware and Louis, when you want to do a braille file you go back to using the 
Index print application because that prints directly without changing the 
format while Louis with the new firmware update assumes the file being 
presented is for changing to whatever language and type you have chosen. Well, 
"assume" would seem to denote intelligent choice - lol! That's just the way 
it's designed to work!

Re: using it without a printer

[Cheryl Homiak]

Okay, I see you are talking about Index Direct rather than Index print. But I 
don't think Index Direct actually installs Louis on your computer or anything. 
You install the driver upgrade on your Mac and then use your embosser with the 
upgraded firmware. I think if you want to use Louis independently you will have 
to install it yourself on our Mac. You can either install the components in 
terminal or there is a Mac app done by Greg Kearney for which I don't have the 
link right at hand. I did an install of all the Louis components I needed in 
terminal because I had trouble with the Mac app doing Spanish but Greg has put 
out a new version since then which I haven't gotten around to testing.

Re: using it without a printer

I don't think you can use Index Print and Index Direct with non-Index printers. 
I could be wrong of course.

a strange finger issue

[Faisal ali]

Hi all,
I’m having a strange issue. When I hit cmd a to go to my applications window in 
finder, VO says 100 items selected as if I invoked a control a to select all. I 
tried restarting VO but this behaviour persists. 
Has anyone seen this before and know how to fix it? Its quite aggravating to 
say the very least.
Thanks

How to block ads and malicious websites using the host file in OS10

[DD]

If you have gotten tired of the ads in youtube and elsewhere here is a way 
to block them.  I have tried out this method for a number of days and in 
youtube have not seen one ad.


Because I do most things in terminal except for youtube I don't encounter 
ads ormalicious websites so I have no experience there.  Look here:


https://giuliomac.wordpress.com/2014/02/19/how-to-block-ads/

This method works with any operating system which can connect with the 
internet with any browser.  There is a small bit there about how to do the 
mac version.


Basically there is a plain text file in /private/etc called "hosts".  It 
contains internet url locations for the system to ignore.  I would advise 
renaming the existing "hosts" file before substituting the new one.


The version of it in the zip file at the above link contains many many 
such sources known to cause popup ads such as those in youtube and else 
where.  Those known to be malicious websites are blocked also.


The file is updated once a month when additional ad and malicious websites 
become known.  Using the examples in the file one can add sites one does 
not want to appear, such as those a child should not visit.


The result is that the ads and malicious websites disappear as far as you 
are concerned.  The internet works faster because those sites never enter 
into the picture.  Computer security is much improved because malicious 
websites never see you on the net to plant nasties on your system.

Re: Audio restoration of old cassettes

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

If you don't mind playing with open source stuff in the terminal, sox 
has some noise reduction functions. You can find details here:


http://sox.sourceforge.net/sox.html

by searching for 'hiss' on that page. Basically you run a bit of your 
recording which should be silent (other than the hiss) to make a filter 
profile and then you use that profile to remove those same sounds from 
the rest of the recording. Likewise there is a compressor filter called 
"compand" which might help with your loud bit at the beginning.

Subject: Audio restoration of old cassettes


Greetings to all of you,

I have a large cassette library of recordings that I started making in the
early 70s, and I want to digitize them.  I have already transferred many of
them to .wav files but for storage constraints, I already have converted
many of them, hiss, crackles and all, to MP3.

None of these cassettes was recorded in stereo; I didn’t even own a stereo
microphone at the time.

I recently purchased Amadeus Pro, and it has a built-in plug-in for dealing
with cassettes.  However, I think I am screwing up on the normalization
process and what levels to set volume, etc.  It is obvious that I am an
amateur at this.  What I want to do is remove the hiss, as well as the loud
volume that occurs for about 1/10 second after a pause in the audio.  Can
this be accomplished with Amadeus Pro as is, or do I need to buy something
else?  One very helpful person who occasionally posts to this list,
recommended a program called RS, but he seemed to lament the company’s plans
for future versions, where accessibility is concerned.  If Amadeus Pro will
do what I need, then I suspect that I wouldn’t need RS.

If anyone can give me the best parameters for working with Amadeus Pro or
thoughts using a different approach or different program, I’d be grateful.

Many thanks in advance,

Mike

Moving VMWare Virtual Machine

[Jeff Berwick]

Hi there,

I got a new hard drive for Christmas, so I am going through and rebuilding my 
installation of Yosemite.  I am now up to the point of moving my VMWare Fusion 
virtual machine and I am having difficulty.  I copied the VMWare file over and, 
upon loading Windows, all the paths are off.  As a result, my Desktop doesn't 
show up and all the programs have incorrect file paths.  Does anybody know how 
I can port a virtual machine from one location to another?

Tia,
Jeff

option it is displayed below in a table. The first option is highlighted which

Just copying the vm folder from 1 location to another should do it.  Or just

Re: RadiologikDJ help with voice over

[Scott Berry]

doesn’t look too bad at all.  Actually the first thing that comes up is a list 
of keyboard commands so that will definitely be helpful.

Re: Cannot find list of backups on MacBook Air in iTunes any more

[Andrew Lamanche]

Hi,

Once you connect your device to your mac, it should appear under devices menu 
button in the main window.  Look around for the item that voiceover reads as 
devices button.  Activate it with vo+spacebar.  You should then see your 
devices there,  It's a popup window.  Choose the device you wish by pressing 
vo+spacebar on it.  The popup window will close.  Vo+right arrow, and first you 
should come across the name of your device with the radiobutton that should be 
checked/selected.  Then to the right of it - but maybe not immediately to the 
right I can't remember now - you should here voiceover say "scroll area".  
Interact with it and you can then vo+arrow keys around the info there.  
Sometimes you have to select the device twice, I don't know why but I've just 
tested it and first time the scroll area didn't appear so I had to find the 
device popup button and select my device again.

Hope this will help.

Re: How to block ads and malicious websites using the host file in OS10

[Andrew Lamanche]

Hi,

This is a very interesting post.  I've downloaded the hosts.zip file but I find 
in the zipped folder only files that I would consider to be windows files only. 
 In the private/etc folder, there's no equivalent host file that I could 
replace.  The downloaded zipped file only has a unix executable file, and 
hosts.bat.  The private/etc folder on my mac doesn't have hosts.bat file. but 
only  hosts TextEdit.app Document. How can I accomplish what the instructions 
in the link you sent tell me to do?

I've been on the website from which one can download the file but there's no 
reference on it to the os mac operating system. 

Many thanks

Andrew

Re: program for the mac that will audo-split/tag mp3 files.

[Jessica Moss]

No I don't have those anymore, I deleted most of them not knowing what they 
were.  What are cue files?
  I don't know what on earth this person creating them did, but when I 
downloaded them, they were in some format called .ape, which I've never heard 
of, but had to convert to mp3 format, then they came with the .cue files, which 
I had no idea what those were so got rid of them after I converted the others, 
then found out they were each just one track, which made no sense to me; had no 
idea people were still doing that or why they'd want to in the first place.

Re: Cannot find list of backups on MacBook Air in iTunes any more

[Christine Grassman]

Sorry; perhaps I was not clear. The devices submenu works great, as does 
locating backups in Preferences, as described. But I cannot locate the scroll 
area which permits choosing backup near the sync button when interfacing with 
iTunes without utilizing Preferences or the Devices submenu, as I used to do. 
It reads my device name, how much of each type of data exists on the phone, how 
much memory I have left, but I do not see the accessibility options, serial 
number, ability to back up, etc. in that area no matter how I manipulate 
things, and I can’t understand why.

A question about messaging on the Mac

[Mary-Jo Lord]

Hi,

I have messages synched with my phone, and can read them and locate the
various fields. When I go to the field to type a reply message however,
anything that I type does not show up. I have interacted with the edit
field, and attempted to write with quick nav on and off. Is there something
else that I should be doing?

Thanks,

Mary-Jo

Re: links in email

[Gabe Griffith]

Hi,

I think if the file is a zip file it will download. However, if it's an mp3 
file or something like that then it takes you to safari then it just starts 
playing like Ray said. What I do in this case is use VO+right arrow to get to 
the stop button and activate that. You should then be able to use VO+shift+m to 
get to the menu. Arrow down to download video and activate that and your file 
should download.

Regards,

Gabe

Subject: A question about messaging on the Mac

Hi,

I have messages synched with my phone, and can read them and locate the various 
fields. When I go to the field to type a reply message however, anything that I 
type does not show up. I have interacted with the edit field, and attempted to 
write with quick nav on and off. Is there something else that I should be doing?

Thanks,

Mary-Jo

it.

Re: Vlc Player

['Maxwell Ivey' via MacVisionaries]

once i have files playing i can pause it with the space bar and then go into 
the menu and find the setting for random shuffle. however, once you set it to 
random it stays random even if you close the app and reopen it. it stays that 
way until you reset it to play sequentially. good luck, max

iTunes playlist question

[Kristeen Hughes]

Hello,
I hope this query makes sense. I have made an iTunes playlist with songs from 
my library. They are not protected in any way. I want to put this playlist, 
contents and play order onto a thumb drive and then play it on another computer 
running iTunes. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

Kristeen

Re: iTunes playlist question

[Kliph]

Of course there is.  You can do it 2 ways.  You can find the playlist in iTunes 
and just choose to export it.  Or, you could go to your music folder, iTunes, 
iTunes media, music, and then find the play list, and copy it to the thumb 
drive.  HTH

Re: Vlc Player

[Jessica Moss]

You can set the option to have that button in the foreground if you don't want 
to constantly have to keep going into the menu's.  I can't remember exactly how 
I did it, but it wasn't there when I first downloaded it, and I looked for it 
in the menu's when for some off-the-wall reason, several albums I have were 
playing out of order, so wanted to see if my shuffle was turned on, and then 
the option to turn it on and off all of a sudden was visible without me having 
to go into the menus, but that didn't change the album tracks playing out of 
order whether it was on or off.

Netflics site verses iPhone app verses Apple tV

[Ray Foret Jr]

Just started my free month of Netflics.  Seems like a keeper so far.  Thing is, 
the site seems a bit jumpy because the page where you're supposed to be able to 
search for stuff keeps refreshing.  Anybody got any ideas about the best way to 
navigate the site on the Mac?  So far, Apple TV seems to be the most stable way 
to search for, find and play stuff.  
Sincerely,
The Constantly Barefooted Ray

Still a happy Mac, Verizon Wireless iPhone 6+ and Apple TV user!

Re: Netflics site verses iPhone app verses Apple tV

[Mary Otten]

I have given up on all means of accessing Netflix except AppleTV, which works 
wonderfully. I know some say they have good luck with the iOS app. But I can't 
get off first base. I can't even get to the search field anymore. As for the 
Mac, since mine has been dead now for a little while, out for repair I hope, I 
have not had any recent experience. A recent try with an older PC was not 
amusingbut Apple TV works really, really well.

Re: iTunes playlist question

[Kristeen Hughes]

When I choose the playlist and exported it shows up on my thumb drive is a very 
small text file giving information for where each song can be found. If I am on 
another computer in someone else's home, how will I ever get those songs to 
play?

Also, under my music folder I do not see playlists. I have several, but I only 
see folders with artists and under those are albums and under those are songs.

RE: iTunes playlist question

[kliphzkorner]

There should be a folder called playlists with in that folder where your 
artists are.  Unless they have changed this in iTunes 12.

Frustrated with your Mac, I-device, or AppleTV?  New user and want quick 
efficient answers?  Or maybe you know apple products and want to contribute?  
Then come join a list where questions are always answered, and we are always 
patient with you.

Subject: Re: iTunes playlist question

When I choose the playlist and exported it shows up on my thumb drive is a very 
small text file giving information for where each song can be found. If I am on 
another computer in someone else's home, how will I ever get those songs to 
play?

Also, under my music folder I do not see playlists. I have several, but I only 
see folders with artists and under those are albums and under those are songs.

Re: iTunes playlist question

[Phil Halton]

As you found out, exporting the playlist will only export the text file 
containing the names and locations of the songs, not the actual songs 
themselves. And, there are no playlists stored in the media folder.
If you want to copy the actual songs contained in the playlist onto another 
drive, like a thumb drive or something, do the following.
1, Go into your playlist in iTunes and select all the songs with command + A.
2, Copy the selected songs with command + C.
3, switch to the finder and highlight the folder/drive where you want to copy 
the song files and paste them with Command + V. Make sure you’re actually 
positioned on the folder/drive by either opening it (when in list view), or 
with the folder/drive highlighted ( when in column  view).

Now, on the other computer, you can then open and play the folder of song files 
in iTunes, or in any other MP3 player for that matter.

external hard drive

[Lorie McCloud]

I’m trying to access my external hard drive. it’s a phantom. I’ve been in it 
before but I can’t seem to get in there now. I turn it on and although I heard 
“Phantom hd volume” I can’t get it to open. quick look and preview opened at 
different times but that’s not what I want. should it be in my desktop folder 
or is there something I don’t understand? I don’t have any trouble accessing my 
computer’s files and folders. 

Thanks.
Lorie

Re: external hard drive

[Alex Hall]

Are you using the Computer Finder item? In Finder, hit command-shift-c; that 
will open a list of all connected drives. Find yours there and open it like any 
folder.

having 2 windows open when moving files

[Lorie McCloud]

I have my view set to list because it’s easier to tell where I am. this 
requires me to back out of a drive closing windows as I go. is it possible to 
have a window open in the drive I’m copying from as well as in the one I’m 
copying to? several times I’ve thought I picked up a file and when I went to 
drop it in the other drive, nothing copied.it  seems to copy 
from the hard drive to the Mac but not the other way around. 

I tried to open up a new finder window but it opens on top of my other window 
and I can’t navigate init or, using it.

Thanks.
Lorie

Re: having 2 windows open when moving files

[Gabe Griffith]

Hi,

If I'm in one drive or folder I use command+n to open a new window. You can 
then either open another folder on the same drive or another drive. I then use 
command+` to switch back and forth between the two open folders. You should be 
able to copy and paste back and forth using the normal copy and paste commands 
at that point.

HTH
