RE: Headphone bug still exists on the I phone.

[Simon Fogarty]

HI Mark,

You say you've got the Plantronics Voyager edge headset,

 I see there are a a number of different models of the Plantronics Voyager 
devices
 There is the legend , the legend UC and the voyager legend CS which I take it 
is more of a VOIP or PABx phone system device.

But there also appears to be multiple versions of the voyager edge,

 Which is the better device to buy and what the hecks the differnces?
I couldn't see a lot with the legends, other than one had volume controls and 
one didn't
I'm just wondering which is the better device to buy 

Regards,


Simon F

Hello Kawal, E.T., and Everyone,

Perhaps this is a brand-specific bug?  

I have absolutely no problem making, receiving, or switching between telephone 
calls using my Plantronics Voyager Edge Bluetooth earpiece.  I am running iOS 
9.2.1 on an iPhone 6 Plus.

Also, I have checked with a couple of people who are running the Plantronics 
Voyager Legend models on 9.2.1 and they, too, report no problems.

Mark

Yes, the but is still there.  I tried it after the latest update.

Thanks for reporting it if you have.

Kawal,
  If you mean the Bluetooth connection is lost when a call is made, yeah. I was 
not even aware it was a bug for I kept forgetting to look into it. Is it still 
present in cersion 9.2.1? I am afraid to try it. Its time to send a note to 
Apple and remind them. I will do that right now.

I notice from all the IOS updates, the headphone bug which Jonathan Mosen went 
in to details when he did his first podcast on the new IOS when it came out 
last September or October still hasn’t been fixed.  I am very surprised that 
Apple haven’t managed to fix it yet.  It’s frustrating that I can’t make any 
voice calls using my new Aftershokz Bluez Sports.  By the way, I like the new 
model of headset.

Thanks.

HMA VPN on OSX

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

Hi all,

has anybody successfully used the Hide My Ass virtual private network service 
on OSX? I've used it beautifully on Android, iOS and Windows XP, but the Mac 
eludes me yet. For those who don't know, Hide My Ass (name of service) is a 
virtual private network (VPN) service which allows one to mask one's IP address 
for things such as undoing the tzetze fly known as geoblocking.

Thanks,

Ben

Re: Connecting external mic

[Donna Goodin]

I do not see any place to set Audio to Line-in.  In the Input Tab I have the 
following items: Select an input device--the only option I am given is internal 
mic, set input Volume, and Use ambient Noise reduction.  I see no other options 
on that tab.
Cheers,

Pages templates

[Jim Gatteys]

Hi Anne!
Thanks for your response.  When will your book be out?
So are the correct steps to use a template:
use vo-left or right arrow to select the placeholder text and then delete the 
placeholder?  And then can I just enter text right in that same spot?  
Will deleting the placeholder text leave the formatting as it was designed in 
the template?
I just went to the first template that is not blank which is the note taking 
template on my computer.  I've interacted with the layout area and I see 
header,  the body and the footer areas.  So when I go to the body area I see 
subject, title and some other stuff beneath that which I assume is latin.  It 
would be nice if they would make it somewhat understandable to those of us who 
are not Latin scholars. the text below subject seems like it would be a list of 
some sort.  How do I find this out?  I would like to have some idea of how 
things will look before I print them.
I appreciate any help you can give.
Jim

Re: any book scanner suggestions?

[Erik Burggraaf]

Hi,  I have a 5 mpx eyepal which served me well when I managed a business, but 
which I no longer have a use for  and would be willing to sell.

Another good solution would be to buy a scanjig and use that with prismo or 
knfb reader.  That would be cheaper than the eyepal, but it won't give you a 
flip sides feature which is really handy for scanning books.

Best,

Erik

Re: Connecting external mic

That’s because your Mac, like all modern Macs, and the iMac I’m typing this on, 
doesn’t support combination input/output anymore.

You’re right: an absolute disgrace. It simply never occurred to me that they’d 
do something quite this stupid. :(

I’ll file this one under “All Macs are iPads now”.

Re: Very! very! very very sluggish Voiceover

[Chris Gilland]

Actually, Spotlight had nothing to do with it.  Force resetting didn't seem to 
work either.  This said, I think I'm getting pretty close to figureing out the 
cause.

I don't want to say just quite yet, as I don't want to give wrong information, 
but I think it's an app I downloaded which isn't playing nicely.

Chris.

Re: Pages templates

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Jim,

Our book should be out during February. We cover analysing the provided 
templates.

Where you have placeholder text, you have to place the keyboard focus just 
before the first character of the placeholder text, turn VoiceOver off, then 
press just the right arrow key. Turn VoiceOver back on and VO-F6 will read the 
selected placeholder text. You just have to type and the placeholder text will 
disappear. Your own text will have the same attributes as the placeholder. VO-t 
will tell you what they are.

The Latin is not real Latin. It’s what they call boilerplate text and has been 
used since the early days of printing to show the layout of a document. Since 
this particular template is for note taking, the boilerplate text shows 7 
bulleted lines for a list. Since they’re each only one line long, you can 
position the keyboard focus at the beginning of each line and do 
Cmd-Shift-Right arrow to highlight the placeholder text and type over it.
By the way, you didn’t look at the Header fields. One of them contains the date.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Connecting external mic

[Terje Strømberg]

Hi Donna, got you. Just kidding with «du you get me». Looks like usb is the 
only option. Many people here that can suggest a good usb mic. Otherwise amazon 
should have many reviews from users. Review usb mic on youtube may be an 
alternative. 

Take care

Re: HMA VPN on OSX

[Andrew Lamanche]

Hi Ben,

I've just started using it on my Mac.  The app is sort of accessible.  The 
biggest problem so far I had when opening it for the first time, having created 
an account on HMA's website.  It took me some time to work out how to sign in 
because the signing in window must be a strange one, and I could only find the 
username field and password when i used item chooser menu.  So the window is 
there but when vo+arrowing round the main window, you can't find it easily.  So 
use the item chooser menu.

It is also possible to configure vpn via Mac's network in system preferences 
once you have an account with HMa.  The necessary details for that are found on 
HMA website in your user area in vpn control panel section.  I'm not at all 
adept at this, I've just started learning about vpn and its configurations so I 
can't answer any more complex questions.

Hope this will help.  By the way, there are others on the list who know much 
more about this, so please chip in to help Ben.

Andrew

Re: any book scanner suggestions?

[Anne Robertson]

Hello,

I can’t speak highly enough of the Fopydo stand with Book Reading Aid and 
KNFBReader. The book reading aid holds the book open and the stand keeps the 
iPhone at exactly the right position to take the perfect photo. KNFBReader 
allows you to add each newly scanned page to a document, and you can export to 
a number of formats, including RTF.

The Fopydo stand with Book Reading Aid costs $35 plus shipping. I know that 
shipping to France costs $12, making the total $47.

I’ve got a StandScan Pro and a Giraffe Reader, but the Fopydo is the one I’d 
recommend above all others because it is so convenient to use and makes reading 
a book a pleasure. I can sit with the Fopydo on my lap and read in comfort, 
turning the page as KNFBReader starts speaking.

Here’s the link:


Cheers,

Anne

Re: Very! very! very very sluggish Voiceover

[CHUCK REICHEL]

Hi Chris,
heres my   mavericks tech tip to clear sluggish VO movement;

Any way you want to get there select the Caches folder and then press Command 
Delete.
,

To empty out the Caches folder on your computer, you’ll need to open up Finder 
first. 

With Voiceover on, you can press V O D, and it should default to Finder. Then 
press V O Space. 

Once Finder is the focused application, press V O M to get to the menu bar, 
then V O Right until you reach the Go menu. In the Go menu, select Go To 
Folder. 

The location is ~/Library

Once you’ve typed that in, press Return. 

In the Library folder, you can select the Caches folder and then press Command 
Delete to move it to trash. 

I recommend restarting the computer after you do this. 


This made VO much more responsive for me!
YMMV
Chuck

Re: HMA VPN on OSX

[Scott Granados]

I’m not sure about the specific service but setting up a VPN in general is very 
simple.  I myself use a hardware VPN device but services like this should work 
the same way.  What problems specifically are you having configuring or using 
the service?

Internet Radio Broadcasting on the Mac

[Joshua Tubbs]

Hi everyone,
Has any new developments been made or are being made on this front? I want to 
do a show using NiceCast and iTunes, if only so I can broadcast Apple Music. I 
figured I can use a playlist I made for talk beds, but NiceCast’s VoiceOver 
plugin in the effects area for auto ducking is a joke. All it did was turn the 
voice on and ducked a bit but the music was still blasting over my voice. I 
shouldn’t need a mixer to control mic volume at this simple level. Of course I 
could just forego beds, which I’ll probably do, but then the quality of my show 
degrades.
Really all I need is a way to duck that’s better than that failure of a 
NiceCast plugin.
I know Gordan from the now defunked Mac Access was doing something with 
MegaSeg, but not sure how to contact him or what even happened to that site.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Re: Connecting external mic

[Donna Goodin]

Hi Terje,

No worries, I get you. :)

It's kind of a bummer.  I have a really nice mic, but of course, it connects 
via the 3.5 jack.  (Figures).  I would be interested in anyone's recommendation 
for a USB mic.  I want to record music, so will want a mic suited for that.
Cheers,

The Martian Released on iTunes, Audio Described

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

Subject says it all, really.  The Martian is out on iTunes, and to my total 
astonishment, it’s actually audio described.

If you read the novel and wanted to reassure yourself that the novel is always 
better than the film, even in something so undramatic as a diary of events by a 
stranded astronaut on Mars, well, now you can. :)

Accessing FlashPlayer on a Mac

[Phil Halton]

I have need to access flashPlayer on my new favorite  website from Safari.  the 
website “StudySpanish.com ” relies heavily on 
FlashPlayer for audio tutorials, and though I can resort to a windows7 VM to 
use the Flash portion of the website, I’d like to avoid windows if possible.
So, I thought to try Google Chrome but no joy.
It was just as blind to the flash player as was safari. I thought Google Chrome 
was able to handle flash, but I guess I was mistaken.
Is there anything I can do to access flash on my mid 2013 MBA I7/8GB computer?
Note: when I run windows7 in a VM (fusion V7.1), it sounds like a 737 warming 
up on the tarmac. The fan runs almost continuously.
I don’t understand why windows runs so hot. Any ideas about that?

thanks,

There's gotta be an app out there that'll do this.

[Chris Gilland]

Guys,

I have a set of .flac files which I'm trying to burn on to an audio CD.

Obviously, ITunes won't open flack, so there went that idea.  I thought maybe 
Simplyburns could do this, but it doesn't appear to after all.

So, the million dollar question:  is there an application for the mac which is 
accessible, obviously, which will let me burn these flack files to audio CD?  
If I onlyt needed them burned as data, then obviously, I'd be fine, as I'd use 
the finder natively, but seeing I need them in audio format, I'm just not sure.

Yeah, I suppose I could encode them to mp3, which I might have to do, and if I 
do, I guess that's fine, but I'd really like to keep the lossless quality, if 
possible.

Thank you for any and all help.  Oh, BTW, yes.  I have VLC, so I can at least 
play them.  Smile.

Chris.

Re: There's gotta be an app out there that'll do this.

[Erik Burggraaf]

I used to make audio CDs from flac in simply burns all the time.  I don't see 
why it wouldn't work for you.

Having said that, you could extract to wav with xact and burn from wav.

Re: Pages templates

[Jim Gatteys]

Hi Anne!
I did see the date but forgot to mention it.  So you think that template will 
only allow for 7 lines or can it be expanded?  I feel really dense when it 
comes to this stuff.
Thanks,
Jim

 Hi all!
 I know I've discussed this previously but I need help with pages templates.
 I have not really pursued this till now but I am going to need to create 
 and use templates in pages to get some work done.
 If I go to pages and open a template, let's say business envelope, I see 
 things that say place holder and other text that seems to be part of the 
 template.  How can I tell where to type in relation to the place holder?  
 What would be the easiest way to tell if the formatting is as I think it 
 should be?  Will that place holder info print as part of my envelope or 
 will it not be printable?  I realize this is basic information but I can't 
 seem to grasp using templates.  I like other aspects of using pages but 
 this seems to be beyond me.
 Also, does anybody know of any info on using tables in pages or is it just 
 trial and error?  If I specify a cell size will the text expand that cell 
 or stop when the cell is full?
 
 I wonder if this is something that apple accessibility might be able to 
 help with.
 Thanks for any help.
 Jim

Re: There's gotta be an app out there that'll do this.

[Chris Gilland]

I'll try again.  Maybe I tried adding the files incorrectly to the CD layout.  
It's admittedly been a while since I used this app, so I'm trying to remember 
how to use the thing.

Don't get me wrong, it's really easy, but it's more just refamiliarizing myself.

Chris.

Re: any book scanner suggestions?

Hello Erik,

The Fopydo is highly adjustable so yes, it will cope with that size.
KNFBReader handles multicolumn documents very well which is why it works for 
reading books.

 If your needs aren’t very urgent, my husband and I have a book coming out

 There are problems currently with placeholder text and VoiceOver. Just 
 using the right or left arrows should highlight placeholder text but this 
 is not working properly with the current version of Pages and El Capitan. 
 You need to turn VoiceOver off before selecting the placeholder text and 
 then turn VoiceOver back on again. Obviously, I’ve reported this to Apple 
 Accessibility.

Is there an option that you need to set in iTunes for this to work?

Re: HMA VPN on OSX

[ben J. Bloomgren]

OK, this is what I did.

I first installed something called Tuntap as per HMA's instructions. Then, I 
tried to connect to the VPN using the app itself. The app indicates that it's 
connected, but at that point, OS X acts as though there were no Internet 
connection. The app even indicates a new IP address which is indicative of the 
new location.

Re: There's gotta be an app out there that'll do this.

[Erik Burggraaf]

I'll do the same here.  It's been a very long time for me too.  Maybe I am 
viewing this through rose colored glasses.  Another possibility is that it 
worked for me because I have fluke installed.

Best.

 Hi Anne!
 Thanks for your response.  When will your book be out?
 So are the correct steps to use a template:
 use vo-left or right arrow to select the placeholder text and then delete 
 the placeholder?  And then can I just enter text right in that same spot?  
 Will deleting the placeholder text leave the formatting as it was designed 
 in the template?
 I just went to the first template that is not blank which is the note 
 taking template on my computer.  I've interacted with the layout area and 
 I see header,  the body and the footer areas.  So when I go to the body 
 area I see subject, title and some other stuff beneath that which I assume 
 is latin.  It would be nice if they would make it somewhat understandable 
 to those of us who are not Latin scholars. the text below subject seems 
 like it would be a list of some sort.  How do I find this out?  I would 
 like to have some idea of how things will look before I print them.
 I appreciate any help you can give.

Re: The Martian Released on iTunes, Audio Described

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

If you say in System Preferences, Accessibility that you want audio 
description, then iTunes will default to the AD track.  Otherwise, simply 
choose the English AD track from within iTunes while playing the film, from the 
Controls menu.

Re: There's gotta be an app out there that'll do this.

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

Could you convert them to ALAC using a tool like this:

then you could pull them into iTunes and do your usual CD burning stuff 
from there.

[Erik Burggraaf]

Hi Ann,  that should work out for standard hard and paperback books.  Normally 
its exactly what I would suggest.  If the textbooks are 8.5x11 though, then 
they open out to 17x11.  Books that size need the flip sides function I think.

Could you send me a link to your foppydo on amazon?  They make a few models and 
the only one I actually touched was a cardboard thing like the standsan.  I get 
the impression yours is a cut above that.

Thanks

Erik

Re: There's gotta be an app out there that'll do this.

[Chris Gilland]

Actually, I'm not sure why.  I don't doubt Erick at all, but for some reason, 
it just refuses in Simplyburns to burn these Flac files.  this said, I did some 
googling, and I found a really sweet app which is on Sourceforge, I think even 
opensource, simply just called Burn.  Literally that is the whole name of the 
app.  B u r n.  Burn.  Anyway, I saw that it was supposed to do Flac to audio, 
so I gave it a try.  It is absolutely beautiful!  I'm extremely impressed with 
the app's accessibility.

If anyone would like to try it out, let me know, and I'll try to get you a 
download to the file in my Public Dropbox.  I say this, as it was ever so 
tricky to find the download link to online.

It looks like the app basically is pretty similar to Simplyburns.

Chris.

Re: There's gotta be an app out there that'll do this.

[Chris Gilland]

Erick, that is exactly!  I didn't have fluke installed, but within my googling 
I found out about it.

What's odd is, I installed it, but now when I try openning the .app file from 
my applications folder, nothing at all happens.  I hit command+O, and the 
Finder just sits there like I didn't do anything.

How do I open up the app and get the thing configured.  It supposedly will even 
let me play Flac files from within I'tunes.  If that's the case, that would be 
freaking awesome!  I just need to know how to set this bad baby up, now that I 
got Fluke installed.

Can you give me a few pointers?

Chris.

 Hi all!
 I know I've discussed this previously but I need help with pages templates.
 I have not really pursued this till now but I am going to need to create 
 and use templates in pages to get some work done.
 If I go to pages and open a template, let's say business envelope, I see 
 things that say place holder and other text that seems to be part of the 
 template.  How can I tell where to type in relation to the place holder?  
 What would be the easiest way to tell if the formatting is as I think it 
 should be?  Will that place holder info print as part of my envelope or 
 will it not be printable?  I realize this is basic information but I can't 
 seem to grasp using templates.  I like other aspects of using pages but 
 this seems to be beyond me.
 Also, does anybody know of any info on using tables in pages or is it just 
 trial and error?  If I specify a cell size will the text expand that cell 
 or stop when the cell is full?
 
 I wonder if this is something that apple accessibility might be able to 
 help with.
 Thanks for any help.

Re: There's gotta be an app out there that'll do this.

[Andrew Lamanche]

Hi,

The app called XLD.app has an integrated cd burner.  I use it to convert .flac 
files into different formats but it also has a burner feature which I find easy 
to use.  A little bit of experimenting and you can use it quite efficiently.  
You open a folder containing your .flac files but you choose the option to open 
it as if it were a cd and then you burn it to disk.  The app is free but 
donations are encouraged.

Re: Connecting external mic

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

Macs for quite some time, have had a headphone output jack and a "Line 
Input" jack. There are generally three levels of sound signals. First 
are the very weak ones like microphones, then line level like the output 
from a nice CD player or tape deck and then high powered 
speaker/headphone levels. For microphones you usually need something 
called a preamp to boost the level up to be used for a line input. 
Likewise most home stereos and such expect line inputs and boost those 
up to high power to drive speakers or headphones. Now a lot of folks who 
do voice recording like the sound of a powered condenser mic because it 
gives a nice bassy sound when you're close to the mic (proximity 
effect). On a sound mixer there is usually something called "Phantom 
Power" which is 48 volts running up the same wires which connect to the 
mic. On PC sound cards they made up another standard and used 5 volts to 
power the condenser mics. To Apple's credit, mic preamps are delicate 
fiddly expensive things to get right without adding a lot of noise, a 
job best left to the folks who make mixers and the like. So if you have 
a real mic you would need at least a pre-amp to boost the signal to line 
level, which is what your Mac expects. If you have one of those PC 5 
volt mics you'll need some contraption to make it work because the Mac 
isn't supplying power through the mic jack. So you don't really have a 
no-cost "just plug it in" solution because Apple went the high road and 
picked an existing reasonable input level that works with lots of 
devices and avoided adding a lot of noise or cost in building in a 
pre-amp. So the paths from here are:


1. Find some winky box that will convert a PC 5volt mic to a line level 
output.


2. Something else, which could be a whole lot of options. Here are a few:
A. Get a nice USB mic and be done
B. Get a nice mic and a pre-amp or mixer and connect that to the Mac's 
line input
C. Get a nice mic and a USB pre-amp/converter and connect that to the 
Mac's USB port


For me, I went with C so that I could connect any mic I choose to my 
Mac, or other sources like output from a mixing console or the audio 
feed from a video camera. I've also done option B with a Mackie mixer 
where I wanted to mix both spoken audio and voiceover from the mac (and 
Jaws on a VM on the same Mac) and record all that. A separate physical 
set of controls is always nice to adjust audio on the fly without 
interrupting (or announcing) anything you're doing on the Mac.


Hope this helps.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for sending such a detailed response.  This has turned out to be much

At the moment I'm leaning toward option A, as I'm new to this, and it seems the

Is there a way to get audio description in iTunes on the iPad or on the AppleTV 
fourth-generation or for that matter, prior generations?

I know that Netflix will do it, provided that the content be described.

safari on iOS and activating open pages

[William Windels]

Hello,
i have ios 9.2.1 installed and now, but before also I think, it happens that I 
can’t re-activate opened webpages. I can tab the webpage and voiceover gives 
the sound of a acctivated element but the page is not opened again.

Perhaps, it could be because there are to much pages opened and they  aren’t 
all shown on the screen. 
But when I swipe to the right/left, voiceover speaks all opened pages.

Any solution to reopen pages (also if there are many opened pages=10),  its 
very welcome.

Kind regards,
William Windels

Yes, I know about Netflix. But I was wondering about iTunes specifically. Maybe

Re: The Martian Released on iTunes, Audio Described

Mary,

I think you need to go into the settings for i tunes on your i pad and look for 
the option that says something like, always provide description, when 
available, or something like that…

El Capitan and Voiceover

[E.T.]

   For the most part the upgrade went well. I am seeing some 
interesting and strange behaviors though.


   First noticed it in App Store. I would lose VO and it took invoking 
either Window or Application Chooser to straighten it out.


   Just now, a new one. If I try to run Time Machine, I hear a sound 
effect and VO repeats something a few times. Something about a timer 
which I have never used on the Mac. Pressing escape gets rid of TM and 
brings up a Finder window focused on the desktop which was not 
previously open.


   I know there are new things in El Cap but am sure this is not one of 
them. (smiles) Any ideas on what to check out? Thanks.

Re: safari on iOS and activating open pages

[David Chittenden]

Hello,

The page needs to be visible to open. Use the vertical three finger flick to 
move the visual display to other pages. When the page is visible on the screen, 
double tap should open it. Split tap will open it.

Re: Keyboard shortcuts broken after VMware's remote support

[Chris Meredith]

A little late to the party on this one, but I can reproduce the issue of being 
stuck in the VMware chrome pretty much EVERY! TIME! on my Windows VM (my job 
uses Slack for team communications, and Slack on anything other than Windows 
apparently may cause pain, nausea or death).
On only a partially related note, how the deuce does anyone get their ORCA key 
to map to anything?  I use SharpKeys to emulate the caps lock key in Windows, 
but am curious what folks use for Orca under Linux.

Re: HMA VPN on OSX

You would then have to set Tun Tap as your default gateway interface and point

Re: Mac Chrome with VoiceOver

Now that Rumola is available for Chrome (I say now because I just found this 
out), Chrome is pretty nice. I don't see much difference between it versus 
Lightning versus Safari.

Let's say hypothetical situation where Lightning and Safari were not

What would be these MUST have VoiceOver accessibility in Chrome?

getting apple cd rom working under windows10?

Hi all,

I have a cd rom here that came with a mac.
Someone said if I download the bootcamp drivers for win 7, 8 and 8.1 
that it will work.
When I download these drivers and install on windows 10 I'm told the 
drivers aren't for this version of windows.

Has anyone had success with this?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Mac Chrome with VoiceOver

[ben J. Bloomgren]

Kevin,

Speaking solely upon my own experience, there is not really anything that I 
would miss from those other browsers. Apparently, krone even works better with 
flash items. Apparently, it has some sort of flash capability built-in so that 
you don't have to screw with it as you would, say for example, with Adobe flash 
on safari. Other than that, I really see no difference.

Re: any book scanner suggestions?

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Erik,

The Fopydo stand with book reading aid is the same one you’ve seen, but it has 
a base with two foam pads positioned above and below where the spine of the 
book sits. These foam pads keep the pages open and flat.
There are two stiff wires, bent at a right angle, which are inserted into the 
base and the upright section. These wires can be pushed right in or pulled some 
way out to adjust the height of the shelf and the distance from the base. The 
foam pads are also very adjustable, so the size of book you describe will fit 
easily between the pads, and the height can be adjusted accordingly.
It certainly is made of a plasticised kind of cardboard, but it’s more robust 
than you’d think. It’s also light to carry around, which is useful for a 
student.
I read with the Fopydo on my lap, something that can’t be done with the 
StandScan Pro, unless I put a tray or rigid board on my lap first.
I like being able to sit with the book in front of me, turning the pages as I 
would if reading with my eyes or the optacon, the latter being something I used 
to do before I lost some feeling in the fingers of my left hand. Getting older 
isn’t a bundle of laughs.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Pages templates

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Phil,

The book should be coming out sometime in February. I hope people will find it 
useful. We’ve put a lot of explanations of visual effects in it as many terms 
used in Pages are a mystery to most of us who have either never seen or not 
seen for many years.

Cheers,

Anne

 Hello Jim,
 
 Our book should be out during February. We cover analysing the provided 
 templates.
 
 Where you have placeholder text, you have to place the keyboard focus just 
 before the first character of the placeholder text, turn VoiceOver off, 
 then press just the right arrow key. Turn VoiceOver back on and VO-F6 will 
 read the selected placeholder text. You just have to type and the 
 placeholder text will disappear. Your own text will have the same 
 attributes as the placeholder. VO-t will tell you what they are.
 
 The Latin is not real Latin. It’s what they call boilerplate text and has 
 been used since the early days of printing to show the layout of a 
 document. Since this particular template is for note taking, the 
 boilerplate text shows 7 bulleted lines for a list. Since they’re each 
 only one line long, you can position the keyboard focus at the beginning 
 of each line and do Cmd-Shift-Right arrow to highlight the placeholder 
 text and type over it.
 By the way, you didn’t look at the Header fields. One of them contains the 
 date.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Anne

RE: HMA VPN on OSX

[Simon Fogarty]

I”ve been wondering about VPN but also wondered if VNC was accessible on the 
Mac OSX platform?

I’m not sure about the specific service but setting up a VPN in general is very 
simple.  I myself use a hardware VPN device but services like this should work 
the same way.  What problems specifically are you having configuring or using 
the service?

Hi Ben,

I've just started using it on my Mac.  The app is sort of accessible.  The 
biggest problem so far I had when opening it for the first time, having created 
an account on HMA's website.  It took me some time to work out how to sign in 
because the signing in window must be a strange one, and I could only find the 
username field and password when i used item chooser menu.  So the window is 
there but when vo+arrowing round the main window, you can't find it easily.  So 
use the item chooser menu.

It is also possible to configure vpn via Mac's network in system preferences 
once you have an account with HMa.  The necessary details for that are found on 
HMA website in your user area in vpn control panel section.  I'm not at all 
adept at this, I've just started learning about vpn and its configurations so I 
can't answer any more complex questions.

Hope this will help.  By the way, there are others on the list who know much 
more about this, so please chip in to help Ben.

Hi all,

has anybody successfully used the Hide My Ass virtual private network service 
on OSX? I've used it beautifully on Android, iOS and Windows XP, but the Mac 
eludes me yet. For those who don't know, Hide My Ass (name of service) is a 
virtual private network (VPN) service which allows one to mask one's IP address 
for things such as undoing the tzetze fly known as geoblocking.

Thanks,

RE: getting apple cd rom working under windows10?

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Adam,

 Check your windows up dates for updated bootcamp drivers 

Also on the apple website you should be able to find the latest bootcamp 
drivers which should include USB for windows 10,
I'm surprised though that it isn't recognised already if your installation has 
only just been done.

I've had windows 10 on my machine for a while now and have no issue using a usb 
dvd drive

I have a cd rom here that came with a mac.
Someone said if I download the bootcamp drivers for win 7, 8 and 8.1 that it 
will work.
When I download these drivers and install on windows 10 I'm told the drivers 
aren't for this version of windows.
Has anyone had success with this?

Thanks in advance!
