Cara, Very well said, I for one thank you for the great work you put 
through the group and the help you give others.
I joined the list because i am very new to the mac world of products and 
am glad to finally find a list that could be of some help.

If i may ask what version of OSX did you start out on?
Again thanks a lot Cara for the time you have put out to help everyone 
with their mac problems and the other things you do for others.

I will be praying for you and your family.
God Bless you.

Hello All,

I felt I needed to send this along to clear some air, respond to some comments 
and address some assumptions which seem to be going around in regard to this 
list and my list involvement in the current situation and over the past few 
months.

Firstly, I only mentioned my current situation with my loved one simply to be 
open and honest about exactly why it is that I am not able to address matters 
more quickly. That is the *only* reason. The list situation has been so 
volatile that I felt you all deserve this and that it was only fair of me.

Secondly, I was in no way lecturing any of you on what you should be doing or 
holding anyone here to any higher of a standard than I would consider holding 
myself. So if my note came off like that, then please understand this was not 
at all my intention. I simply meant to suggest a way to quell the current list 
tide until I can more appropriately address these important issues.

In addition, many of you seem to be under the assumption that I do not pay any 
attention whatsoever to this list and that there is no moderation going on here 
at all. This is simply not the case. There is, and has been someone who has 
been kind enough to help manage whatever aspects of the list they can, when 
they can. So the idea that I somehow do not care or have not been considerate 
of this list is simply and completely incorrect.

I also check in on this list every couple of days. I do not read every single 
post, but I do read some and I do skim as well. Since as I’ve said above, there 
has been moderation behind the scenes, I felt this was appropriate.

Since I did miss a serious issue, it is obviously not. So as I have mentioned 
before, I am currently deciding on additional moderators to assist.

Make no mistake, as CJ has mentioned, if any list member here is shown any kind 
of abuse through this list, it matters to me very deeply. The fact that I did 
not know this was going on does not mean I do not care or that I do not pay any 
attention here. I simply missed this in my checks of the list. This does not 
mean I do not view this as my responsibility. On the contrary, I take full 
responsibility for this. However, it does mean that I am a human being and do 
miss things from time to time. It is, and always has been extremely important 
to me that any list I moderate be a safe place for every member on it. I take 
this very seriously. This is very deep to who I am. -And, as I have already 
said, I am deeply sorry for the kind of insanity that has happened here.

Having said this, I feel it is important for me to ask that you please 
understand, I am also not a service that people are entitled to, I am a person 
and as such, have a life and will occasionally miss things that go on here. 
Now, I am not saying that you all feel this way, but there are certainly some 
who seem to. I will try (as I have always done here) to do the best I can for 
this list.

Understand that I get absolutely no compensation of any kind for the running of 
this list, and am lucky if I ever have received more than two thank you notes 
per year, every year that I have worked with this list, even at its best of 
times. I certainly get my share of demands, criticism, questions, help requests 
and general comments. This is fine, I expect this but please realize that this 
is, and has always been simply a labor of love so to speak.

I do very much view the running of this list and my others as my 
responsibility. I care very deeply about helping this community so this sort of 
thing affects me more than you may realize. Some have also accused me of some 
sort of power trip by still being this list’s owner. Firstly, no one has asked 
me for list ownership and secondly, though this is a community, and as Jonathan 
has mentioned, a brand, this is, at the end of the day, simply a mailing list. 
This is not some sort of power trip to me. Yes, I can assist you all in keeping 
this community going, but as I have said before, it is you who keep this 
community going. I can only assist you all. You are the community and I am a 
member of it just like you. This mailing list is merely a vehicle for you the 
community to express yourselves and I can assist. Our community means a lot to 
me so I feel this list is a very important resource.

I am not sure how much clearer or more honest I can be. I will apologize once 
again and simply say that this matters to me whether

Hi all, I think everyone should ppay close attention to what Kara has said 
below.  I think, also, that it was well said and I for one will continue on the 
list as long as it is in opperation.  Thanks for all the good work, I am a 
listserve administrator of a small list, and I know some of the hassels of

Question about dictionary

2015-08-28 Thread gracewelln...@atlanticbb.net


Hello,

I opened the dictionary and found a least of languages. As I speak some 
other languages besides English, I check 4 of them. My question is: do I 
need to download other dictionaries in these other languages? I tried to 
search for words in Italian and I didn't get any result. Would anyone please 
explain how the dictionary works?

Thank you,

i-mac loading issue

Hello, all;

When I  got in and turned  on my i-mac, you would normally  see the apple
symbol show up.   In this case, it acted as if it was loading properly, but
instead of loading the apple symbol it only showed a file folder with a
question mark flashing and it wouldn't proceed further than that.

What can I do from here?  Is this fixable?

Please let me know as soon as you are able.

Faith

Re: Creating distribution lists in Mail

2015-08-28 Thread Jim Gatteys

Hi Wayne!
If you create a new group in your contacts application and put everybody in 
there that you want in your mail out you should then be able to type in that 
name in the "to" field when you are in mail.  They even have "smart" group 
where you can add filters and other things.  I have not used that part before 
but have sent out mail to various lists with no problem.

Re: i-mac loading issue

I’m afraid your iMac can’t locate its System Folder. You’ll need to boot into 
the Recovery partition and use the Disk Utility there to Repair Disk.

Shut down your iMac. Then hold down the Command key and the letter ‘r” and

Hold down the command key and r at the same time and activate your power button 
and keep holding down the command and r keys for about 20 seconds or so and let 
them up

 

Wait a minute or so and if v o does not start speaking do the command f5 to 
turn it on

You may have to try the command f5 a couple of times.

 

Wait a little bit between each try to it speaks

 

Then in the table choose utilities and then disk repair and first aid

VO-Cmd-F3 and VO-Cmd-F3-F3, how did I miss them?

Hello listers,

I recently discovered the immense value of VO-Cmd-F3 and VO-Cmd-F3-F3 in 
showing the size of an object and its position on the page. Since we still have 
an ancient Mac Mini running Snow Leopard, we tried these commands on that and 
they were there! How did I miss them?

One oddity with the reporting of the Y coordinate in a document is that it 
reports the position of a page as if it were printed on continuous stationery, 
so page 2 of a document is reported as having a Y coordinate of something like 
31 cm.

Identifying posters to mailing lists in Mac Mail

2015-08-28 Thread Edward Green

Hi,

I am running the latest version of Yosemite and Apple Mail on a Macbook Pro.

I am a member of some NFB lists, and whenever I receive emails from those 
lists, the list is announced as the sender rather than the poster.  This 
doesn’t happen in Outlook 2013 under Windows.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might get the poster (rather than 
the list) to show as the sender under Apple Mail?

Cheers,

Ed

Ok, I know this may sound stupid, but how would a totally blind or blind with 
light perception user know if the file folder with a question mark has appeared 
short of sighted assistance? Would all I hear is the startup chime and nothing

accessible video editing software for mac

2015-08-28 Thread Moop Curran

Hi,
Is there an accessible video editor for mac? I have an hour-long video which I 
need to edit all but approximately 3 minutes out. The 3 minute clip which I 
want to keep is approximately 10 minutes into the video. I would like to keep 
the video that goes along with those three minutes in tact. Is there any 
software that will let me do this?
Thanks,
Courtney

Re: New iPhones

2015-08-28 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland


Sort a.

Remember:  64 bit sometimes can be backward compatible.  Let me be very 
clear.  I didn't say it always! can be, but sometimes depending on 
circumstances, it can be.  So, theoretically, you probably could get away 
still with running some things that were designed more for x86 platform.  It 
really just depends.

Hi all
If what I read on Mac Daily News about the lack of an iPhone 6C plus the 
discontinuation of the 5C is true, this year will be a very significant year 
for iPhone owners. Why? All iPhones from the 5s up are 64 bit. 
Theoretically, this means 32 bit is dead as far as the iPhone is concerned. 
To my knowledge, 32 bit is dead throughout the iOS device range as even the 
new iPod Touch is now 64 bit. I say good riddance to 32 bit! RIP.

Once this is done, they will also then be releasing Office 2016 for

Please realize that none of what I am saying here breaks any NDA.  I'm 
telling you exactly what I was directly told by a Microsoft sales agent 
named Hermon.

If you want to get either of the versions out now of Microsoft Office for 
a mac, or a Windows PC, then here's what you need to do.

First off, be sure you're subscribed to Office 365.  You can do this 
through

http://www.office.com

Once you have done this, go back to the above link, and sign in with your 
Microsoft passport.

Once in, click on the link for my account.

I think a more direct link actually is:

http://account.office.com

It might be

http://myaccount.office.com

It's one of the two, I just don't recall which.

Once you're at this page and logged in, you  should see a section for 
installation.  If you look under here, you'll see the option to download 
either of these installers, for the mac, or for a PC.  Pick the one you 
want, download it, and install it by running the installer.  Then, make 
sure during the installer that you sign in with your Microsoft passport 
if asked to do so.  It's been a while since I've needed to install, so I 
don't recall exactly what that process is, but I know it's very very 
straight forward.

Once done, you're good to go.

As for the accessibility, I've not used it in a while, but I did try one 
of the older public previews, and for what it was worth, yes, there were 
some major issues, but for the most part, unless you were doing really 
really really heavy editting, it worked quite well.  Even MS Word finally 
has been fixed where now you can read the document window.  Remember that 
this was quite a few preview builds back though, so I'd honestly give it 
a shot.  I think you'll be at least somewhat, if not very impressed.

I'm sure that you could probably get 2011, but why?  For one, it's not

Re: concerning iDrive

Hello Ray.

I use I Cloud Drive if that is what you are talking about.

I pay a subscription every month for the Sum of £2.99 but not sure what that is 
in dollars.  For that price I get 200 of storage space.  I just put everything 
there so I have no problems if I want to do a clean install on my Mac computers 
as next month I have two to upgrade to the new Mac operating system.  I can't 
spell or say the word so won't write it.

Hope this helps.

I cannot use Drop Box as a backup since I have no other physical drive I can 
point it to, and, honestly, if I am going to do a clean install of my Mac OS, 
I'd better back all my stuff first.  So, how bout it?

Re: Update Fusion even if you don't have the current version on your Mac? was two questions about the Mac

Hi Scott.

Sorry for not explaining properly as you mis understood me.

I have Fusion 7 but not installed it on my Computers.  So I was actually asking 
if I had seven even though it wasn't installed on my Macs, could I still 
upgrade to 8?

Sorry for not explaining clearly.

 That is kind of what I suspected regarding the download of version 8.  I

 For Fusion, you probably have to go to their incredible inaccessable web 
 site and get the new version.  In the notice about the fusion update, 
 there should be a button to click on that says something like “learn 
 more”, or “update now”. this will take you to their web site.
 
 I am still using fusion 6.x so if they’ve changed things since then I

Good points of interest app for iPhone six

points of interest app. I am assuming that blind Square is the best out there? 
I've never used it. Does anyone have any recommendations? I would like

Re: accessible video editing software for mac

Not quite sure if I understand what you mean by wanting to keep the 
accompanying video and video intact, but you could make a duplicate of the 
movie, and then using QuickTime edit the three-minute you want keeping only 
that. This is done fairly easily by splitting the video at one point and then 
again at the end point of your selected clip and then deleting the two 
extraneous clips you were then left with the 3 minute clip that you

Want to keep. QuickTime is definitely a bare-bones video editor, but you can 
split clips and delete those clips easily. This allows you to isolate sections 
of the movie. Sent from my IPhone

Re: Good points of interest app for iPhone six

I like Blind Square and use it on a daily basis.

I've never used it with Apple Maps or anything else but know people do.  I 
think the developer is on this list but not sure.  However, if you want more 
information, you should subscribe to the list run by Mike May at Sendero group. 
 I can send you the subscribe info off list if you want it.

Thanks.

RE: i-mac loading issue

I proceeded to do what you had suggested, but I  am now sitting in front my
computer  with a lock and password field.  I have tried using most of the
passwords I have had in the past, but none of them have worked.  I believe
that my former roommates may have gone in and changed my password and went
in when it was still on but I wasn't home.  Is there a way to get around
this issue so that I can do what you have suggested with repairing the
disk?  If so, how?  If not, where do I go from here?

Re: New iPhones

2015-08-28 Thread Scott Granados

Ok, so I would challenge anyone to demonstrate how 64 bit really changed that 
much in regards to the use and performance of the phones.

The bit depth thing is really over stated.  The primary advantage of a 64 bit 
word over a 32 bit word is that 64 bit systems can address far more memory 
simultaneously.  This is great for example if you do things like large 
computing or have larger servers like we use at my job that have over a TByte 
of RAM.  Your phone though has nothing like this.  You have a few gigabytes of 
ram, 128 gigabytes at most of flash storage and not much else.  The power in a 
small form factor of a phone is remarkable but it’s nothing compared to what 
64bit is actually designed for.  You also get the advantage of more bytes per 
word but this assumes you’re using code optimized to take advantage of this.  
Chris to your points, you’re pretty much right.  In general though 
loading 32 bit code on a 64 bit processor is no problem at all, you just use 
half the available bits in the word.  The problems you’re thinking of are the 
result of bad or tricky software design.:)  Windows was known for having 
problems with 32 bit code where other operating systems this was never a 
concern.  However, if you get passed that layer of abstraction and to the OS 
level as long as the compilation is good there won’t be any problems.  You can 
run something compiled for 32 bit on a 64 bit cpu with no issues.  Just 
distinguishing that the limitation you pointed out is more software induced 
than at the hardware level where the original poster was going.

If you ask me I’d rather have a 32, 16 or even 8 bit processor in my phone if 
the code was written much more tightly and cleanly.  It might be a result of my 
age but I was always told to write the code as tight and lean as possible for 
the best performance.  With all the increases in hardware over the years in my 
humble opinion software and environments have gotten sloppy in some cases and 
bloated in many.  Remember, the command module of the Apolo space craft only 
had about 32K of storage.
:)

just my $.02

Re: concerning iDrive

2015-08-28 Thread Ray Foret Jr

No, I specicially said that I was not talking about icloud drive.  IF I'm 
right, and I were to use Icloud drive, doesn't that mean having at least two 
coppies of everything on my Mac like I'd have to have with Drop box?  No, I'm 
talking about the Idrive that you hear advertized on the radio:  Not the iCloud 
drive folder you access by pressing Command+shift+I.

Re: reclaiming space on hard drive

2015-08-28 Thread 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries

Didn't notice if you got this resolved. Sounds like some weirdness on
the drive. Have you tried the usual bit of rebooting your machine into
the recovery partition and doing both repair permissions and repair
disk? Often times this clears up things that just shouldn't be when it
comes to drives.

That's not bad at all. There are some hidden things that can take up space. How

GB.

Any ideas?

Odd. Then your free space should reflect those files being gone. One handy way to figure out where
you space went is to open your hard drive, make sure you are in list view (command+2) and then go
to View Options (command-J). That pops up a window with extra options checkboxes. At the bottom of
that list of checkboxes is one that says Calculate all sizes. Check that one and then command ~ to
jump back to your list view of the hard drive and there will be a Size column. Usually for folders
the size is just "--" but the Mac will start totaling up all the files and replace those
"--" with actual numbers. You can then start to focus on the folders with the most space
used and start to drill down to figure out what's using the most space. The Calculate all sizes
beats on your hard drive making (ad updating) all those totals so when you're done you'll want to
turn that back off. My Applications folder is 71GB while my OSX 10.10.4 system is only 11GB. I
would expect the bulk of the deletable stuff to be either apps you no longer need or stuff under
Users/youraccountnamefolder.

Re: i-mac loading issue

2015-08-28 Thread John Panarese

   You have to reboot the computer into the recovery partition by pressing and 
holding command-r for about ten seconds.  Then, give it a bit and start 
VoiceOver with command-F5. You should have the Recovery options available to 
you, and use VO-m to get to the menu bar. Navigate right to the Utilities menu 
and then go down to, Terminal.  Press VO-space and then when the terminal 
window is open, type, all one word,
resetpassword

   This should give you a GUI interface to choose the account you want and 
reset the password of that user.

Re: i-mac loading issue

I can't get that far.  It won't let me get that far because when I tried to
go into the recovery disk it asks for a password which is what I am trying
to get around.

Re: i-mac loading issue

2015-08-28 Thread John Panarese

Hmmm. I missed the start of this discussion, but do you have FileVault 
turned on by chance?  When you try to boot into recovery, it prompts you for 
the password? If this is the case, try typing your Apple ID and then your 
password to see if that will unlock the system for you.

Actually, I cloud Drive does not function the same way as dropbox. You have one

Re: concerning iDrive

2015-08-28 Thread Ray Foret Jr

Okay.  That's interesting.  So, how then do I get to where I pay for iCloud 
drive?  I presume it involves a little more than just selecting files and then 
pressing CMD+shift+i then either CMD+V  to paste or else CMD+shift+v to move.

 Ok, I know this may sound stupid, but how would a totally blind or blind

Re: i-mac loading issue

Are you also asked for a username? And at what point do you get the prompt to 
enter a password? Is VoiceOver available at that point? It could be asking for 
a firmware password, and you can’t reset that yourself. If there’s a firmware 
password which you can’t remember, you’ll have to visit an Apple retail store 
or phone Apple to request service. Not saying it is definitely a firmware 
password, but it may be beneficial to get someone who can see the screen to 
read what you’re being prompted for.

Accessible remote login

Hi all,

Have any VoiceOver users figured out if there is a way to remotely login to 
another Mac and use the GUI, in an accessible way?

Thanks,

Markup

Hi all,

Has anyone successfully used Markup to sign PDF documents?

I’ve successfully created a signature using the trackpad, but I have no idea 
whether with VO there is any way to place the signature at the correct spot. It 
seems that once you insert the signature into a document, a sighted user has to 
move it to the correct location visually. Is this correct?

Re: i-mac loading issue

I see. I’m fairly sure this is a firmware password that was set at some point. 
Keep us posted on the resolution.

Ok, so i would need a apple id to get any software updates then? I was 
under the impression that you ran software update like you would on windows?

Re: Using Software update.

2015-08-28 Thread Alex Hall

Yes, you need one. Your installation of OS X is tied to your Apple ID, and any 
updates to it require that Apple ID. This policy may change, but as far as I 
know, it hasn't yet. Technically, this is no different from Windows; Microsoft 
uses validation to check that your copy of Windows is valid and legal, and if 
it detects a pirated version, it won't update anything. An Apple ID is simply 
Apple's way of verifying the legality of your OS X installation.

Re: Using Software update.

2015-08-28 Thread Shawn Krasniuk

Do you need an Apple ID even though this person is running Snow Leopard? I ask 
because I didn't set up an Apple ID as soon as I got my Mac back in 2010 and 
didn't have one until 2011. I was still able to download software updates for 
Snow Leopard so this kinda confuses me. I understand if you wanted to download 
major software updates such as Yosemite you'd need an Apple ID, but if this 
person wanted to update his Snow Leopard, wouldn't he be fine without one? Am I 
right, Singing Sparrow, that you just wanted to download an update to Snow 
Leopard or are you thinking of making the jump to a higher, and in my opinion, 
better version of OS X like Yosemite?
