Hi Simon. I’m not familiar with the iPhone client for Trillian but you need to

Subject: getting trillian working on jabba chat server!

Hi List,

I’m trying to setup trillian to work with a chat server at work.

It’s a linux based server using a chat system using the jabba protocol.

So It’s got nothing to do with the Trillian chat services at all.

What I’ve got at the moment is the iPhone trillian client and I can’t figure 
out how to connect to the chat server or change the port to what we have the 
system set for

Is trillian able to run as a chat client for a non trillian service and if so 
how?

Any assistance here would be appreciated.

I’m needing a client that will work on multiple platforms and be accessible to 
me.

Thanks for any help if you can assist.

RE: A Question About Audio Descriptive Movies in iTunes

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Mark,

I've got edge of tomorrow on my apple tv so I'll see what I can find in 
settings of that and also on my iPhone.

 Surely it would be all the same

Subject: A Question About Audio Descriptive Movies in iTunes

Hello All,

I am posting this question to both the V iPhone and Mac Visionaries mailing 
list.

My primary question:
Is the audio description track included when renting a movie from iTunes? or 
must one purchase the movie in order to receive the audio description track.

My secondary question:
If a movie debuted with an audio description track in the theater, does it 
follow that the movie will include that track in the iTunes store version of 
the movie?

Here's my situation:
Last summer I saw the movie entitled "Edge of Tomorrow", in the theater, 
complete with audio description.  To me, it was a fabulous movie.  Just so you 
know, the film is now marketed and sold under the title, "Live die Repeat".

A couple of days ago, a sighted friend of mine rented Live die Repeat, from the 
iTunes Store.  She watched it on her iPad.  Even though many titles, in the 
iTunes Store, are not listed as having audio description, I was hoping that, 
like so many others, given that the film was released with audio description in 
the theater, the track would be included on the download.  

According to her, she could not hear any audio description despite having the 
settings on her iPad configured correctly.

I should probably add that, to my dismay, I discovered that the DVD copy of 
this title, I purchased when it was first made available, did not include the 
audio description track, either.

I would so much like to enjoy this movie again but I fear, that, unless I can 
locate a version that includes the audio description track, I will not be able 
to relive the experience of "Edge of Tomorrow".

All replies most welcomed.

Mark

itunes librarys

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi List,

 I wish to know if it's possible to split up my itunes library to differnet 
drives / locations.

Due to a large collection of music approx. 600gig of music,
Approx. 25 gig of audio books and 2 gigg of E-Books,plus other bits and peases.

What I'd like to do is split my media locations up so they are on their 
respective drive locations

Is there a way to split up the media library so that audio books are on one 
drive, music on another etc.
Is there anyway to do this or has anyone got suggestions that might make life 
easier to keep things tidy

I have a mac mini with a 500GB drive that I wish to run my itunes library 
mangagement from
 Regards,


Simon f

What is a Secondary Click?

[Sandy Finley]

I was creating a couple of track pad commands. I selected the modifier key of 
shift and found that "click mouse" is 'shift click."  Shift click is followed 
by the unassigned gesture of "shift secondary click."
When thinking in terms of gestures, I am guessing that "click" may be a 
1-finger tap. What is "secondary click?"

Secondary click is equivalent to right clicking on a Mac. This could also be 
done by keyboard by VO+Shift+M.

It’s designed by same company, so the driver and the way it works together is 
pretty similar. However, The LoopBack is used for different purpose than those 
other two applications mentioned.

Hi Jerry,
Loopback is similar and more powerful than sound flower used to be. It’s kind 
of like virtual audio cable on windows from my understanding. I just at the 
moment see it being worth the $100.

Re: A Question About Audio Descriptive Movies in iTunes

[Caitlyn Furness]

Just as a further to this, there is a way to check what’s available with audio 
description in i tunes.

Go to the search bar and type “audio description” or “descriptive video”.  
It’ll pull up everything with description, and you can then pick the movies 
radio button to see only the movies with DVS.

Additionally, when you read the blurb about the movie, go down to the languages 
section.  If it has audio description, it’ll be listed there under languages as 
simply AD.

With hard copy DVD’s, you also have to check the label under languages for the 
AD designation.  As Ray said, it really depends on the movie company whether 
the DVD or the I tunes versions include description, sadly.

hth,
Caitlyn

Re: Open Private Browsing Safari Window

Re: Changing languages with a bluetooth keyboard

[Mike Busboom]

Hello Ben,

I’m not sure what the make and model of my keyboard is, but it is bluetooth, 
and I bought it from the Apple store.

Like you, I work in a multilingual environment.  I also regularly use my 
bluetooth keyboard to switch input and output languages on my iPhone 6.

What you need to do is make sure that you have enabled the switch language 
feature in your Voice Over rotor options.  Then, on your bluetooth keyboard, 
simultaneously press the left and right arrow keys until you hear Voice Over 
say “Quick Nav on.”  This is a toggle command.  If, after simultaneously 
pressing these two keys, VO says “Quick Nav Off,” just press them again, and VO 
will let you know that Quick Nav is on.

   Once Quick Nav is on, you can go through your Voice Over rotor options by 
simultaneously pressing the up arrow and left arrow to select your previous 
rotor option or the up arrow and right arrow to select your next rotor option.

When you get to the language option, press either the up arrow or down arrow to 
select the language you want.  When you get to that language, just move to a 
different rotor option, and your new language will take effect.  You don’t need 
to hit enter or anything else in order to confirm your language selection.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Best regards from Austria,

Mike

Re: Changing languages with a bluetooth keyboard

[Seyoon Choi]

The only trouble though is that this will change the voice language, a language 
in which Voiceover speaks in. I can’t seem to figure out how to change the 
language input settings, such as when you type letter S for example. I would 
like to type in a different language and easily able to switch.
Any ideas for both iOS and Mac?

Re: Changing languages with a bluetooth keyboard

[ben J. Bloomgren]

It's quite easy on the Mac. What I do is,

Open your menu extras with control F8 or Vieux M twice, and then locate the 
menu that's going to lease first Lee said the language is currently under. For 
example, mine says US. Then, either type in the first few letters of the 
language you want to go to, or aerobe down through the menu. Then, either hit 
VO space or enter, and it will change the language. If you want to get back to 
the Lynnwood you were in, I changed the keystrokes to say option space and 
option shift space. Otherwise, you're going to run into a conflict with the 
spotlight search. It's easy enough in iOS with the touch screen. You just go 
down to the button that says next keyboard. You double tap on it, and/or hold.

Creating a new line in an iMessage

[Mike Busboom]

Hello everyone,

Ever since the most recent major iOS upgrade, it has not been possible to 
create new or blank lines in iMessages.

Whenever I hit the Enter key, my iMessage is automatically sent.  Does anyone 
know of a way to create a blank line within a text since using the Enter key 
simply sends out the message?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

If you're using a Bluetooth keyboard, try either command plus enter our option 
plus enter. If not, double tapping the return key on the virtual keyboard works.

Another option you may want to try is shift + enter. I know this works
in some mac apps

Commenting and replying to comments on Facebook

[Andrew Lamanche]

Hi,

I'm struggling with Facebook.  Is there a podcast anybody is aware of that 
could help me work out how best to navigate on Facebook and read various types 
of content without spending hours trying to find it?  One of the things that's 
really thrown me is when I reply to comments or try to find what people reply 
to my comments, I can't really find them unless I spend inordinate amounts of 
time doing so.  Any tips?  I tried "go Facebook app" but I think it is as 
difficult as the webpage itself.  There's so much interesting content for me on 
Facebook and so many of my friends would not otherwise communicate that I feel 
I'm compelled to use it.

Can't wait for your responses.

Andrew

Re: Commenting and replying to comments on Facebook

[Donna Goodin]

Hi Andrew,

A weird thing about FB on the Mac is that the place where you type in comments 
is seen by Voiceover as a combo box.  But you can type in it.  It may take a 
while for the text to populate, but it does.

Also, the item chooser is your friend.  Bring it up with VO-i and then type in 
what you're looking for, a word, a person's name, or whatever.  That should 
take you to what you're trying to find.  For example, if I want to update my 
status, I bring up the item chooser and type in the word mind.  The What's on 
Your Mind prompt comes up as one of the choices.

Personally, my advice would be to do FB on your iPhone, it's *much easier.  If 
someone comments on your post, it is shown in notifications.  You can just 
select that Tab and then see who has commented.
HTH,
Donna

Re: Commenting and replying to comments on Facebook

[Andrew Lamanche]

Hi Donna,

Thanks for your tips.  Can i ask, on my mac, I can see in notifications some 
responses to my comments but only a line or two are showing and if I 
vo+spacebar on them, I can't find the full text of what might have been said.  
Any clues?  Similarly in Messages I can't seem to get to the text of the 
message, nor do I see the entire text.  Is there a way?

Many thanks

Andrew

Excess ability and usability of sign-up genius

[Mary Otten]

I just learned that, as part of our new website, my church is going to use 
something called sign-up genius when people are being asked to sign up for 
things such as helping out with programs at Cetera. I gather it is fairly 
widely used, but I have never run across it. Does anyone have experience with 
it using a Mac or an eye device? How accessible is it or not? And how usable is 
it or not? One of the things that gives me pause about this tool is that it  is 
supposedly real time. So if you are on the page and somebody else's signing up 
for something on the page from a different computer or device, you can 
instantly see that they have signed up. That sounds like a heap of trouble, 
but, hope springs eternal. Any experience?
Mary

Second off, are you using the user agent Firefox virtualization?

Go into Safari preferences, advanced tab.  Tell it to show the developer 
menu in the menu bar.


Now, go to the link above.  Once there, go to your menu bar, developer, user 
agent, then Firefox.


The page will reload.  Now, navigate the page like normal with Voiceover, 
and log in.  Now, once logged in, look around.  You should find things 
renderring not only quite differently, but they should look much much better 
laid out and way way less clunky.

Hi,

I'm struggling with Facebook.  Is there a podcast anybody is aware of that 
could help me work out how best to navigate on Facebook and read various 
types of content without spending hours trying to find it?  One of the 
things that's really thrown me is when I reply to comments or try to find 
what people reply to my comments, I can't really find them unless I spend 
inordinate amounts of time doing so.  Any tips?  I tried "go Facebook app" 
but I think it is as difficult as the webpage itself.  There's so much 
interesting content for me on Facebook and so many of my friends would not 
otherwise communicate that I feel I'm compelled to use it.


Can't wait for your responses.

Andrew

num padis locked

[Tony]

Hey All,

Please keep  in mind that I'm new to the mac world. I have a full size Apple
keyboard that I have connected to a macbook pro, on which I have created a
virtual machine, where I installed Windows 7 with jaws 14. I'm not sure how,
but the num pad is locked, and I can't figure out how to get it back. I
tried hitting the numlock, but nothing but a tink sound when I try to
navigate. 

Any help is always much appreciated.

RE: Adding or Moving Contacts Between Groups in iOS

[M. Taylor]

Hello George,

With your consent, I would prefer to keep this, on-list, as I think others may 
find the discussion useful.

So, last night, I opened up the Contacts app in OS X.  

Under the View Menu, I selected to show the Groups List.  After doing this, I 
was able to see the various lists I created on iCloud.com.  

How does one add an existing Contact to various groups in OS X?  

Thank you,

Mark

Re: Adding or Moving Contacts Between Groups in iOS

[Basioli George]

go into your main contacts and highlite / select the ones you wish to put in a 
group and copy with command c
now go and select the group name in the group list so it is highlitted
now do a command v and past the selections you copied from the main contacts.
this will put the copy of those copied into the group you have selectted and 
leave the original in the fffmain contacts.

you have to have a name in the main contacts inable to put it in a group
if you start by creatting a new contact within the group when it is intered it 
will also put the contact in the main contacts.

duplicate detector?

[jeff `greene]

Hi, Just have a question. I have a very large audio book library. Recently 
while backing it up I noticed a few books that sound like they are duplicates. 
I’ve seen duplicate detecting software on the web and the app store. Has 
anybody used any of these apps? Are they accessible?
Thanks, Jeff

cannot sign in to iTunes anymore

[Ray Foret Jr]

Is anybody having trouble signing in using iTunes?  I went to turn on Home 
sharing this morning and it would not turn on no matter what I did.  So, I 
signed out of iTunes on my Mac thinking that might help.  Now, I cannot sign 
back in.  I can see that I'm signed in on the app store, and I can sign in 
using Safari but I cannot do it using iTunes.  I have the latest of everything 
and it's not working.  Any thoughts?

RE: cannot sign in to iTunes anymore

[M. Taylor]

Hello Ray,

I am not having any problems signing into iTunes.  

If you will provide the steps, however, I will be happy to try to reproduce 
your issue.

Subject: cannot sign in to iTunes anymore

Is anybody having trouble signing in using iTunes?  I went to turn on Home 
sharing this morning and it would not turn on no matter what I did.  So, I 
signed out of iTunes on my Mac thinking that might help.  Now, I cannot sign 
back in.  I can see that I'm signed in on the app store, and I can sign in 
using Safari but I cannot do it using iTunes.  I have the latest of everything 
and it's not working.  Any thoughts?

Re: cannot sign in to iTunes anymore

[Ray Foret Jr]

Okay.

Here's what I did.

1.  From the file menu, I clicked on home sharing submenu.  Then, clicked on 
"turn on home sharing".  Nothing.

So, I went to the web for help.  In some Apple forum, somebody said that 
signing out of iTunes and bakc in should solve the issue.

So, I signed out of iTunes.  Now, I can't get back in and here's what I've 
tried.

1.  Open the store menu from the menu bar.

2.  Clicked on "sign in"  No joy.  Can't even see the window where I enter my 
password and ID.

So, I went to see if I could sign in by clicking the account button just to the 
left of the search box in iTunes.  Now, here's what I'm seeing.  I notice a 
button that says "store account"  Just to the right of it is the search box.  
In other words, I focus VO on the "store account button" then, if I VO+right 
just once, I land right on the search box.  So, I choose the radio button that 
says "iTunes store"  From there, I tried to click on manage account, purchases 
and other links.  Still cannot sign in.  I've done the disk repair and all that 
stuff and no go.

Re: num padis locked

[Bill Dengler]

No.
You need to modify the VM so that the keyboard can be connected to it directly.
Here’s how : 
Locate your VM bundle. Typically, it’s located in a subfolder of Documents 
which is in your home folder.
right click (VO+shift+m), show package contents.
Open the "your-machine-name.vmx" file in a text editor (textEdit is included on 
OS X but any editor will work).
Add the following two lines to the bottom of the file : 

usb.generic.allowHID = "TRUE"
usb.generic.allowLastHID = "TRUE"

Save the file (command+s) and close it.
Reopen VMWare and start up your VM. Then click the "show settings" button.
Go to USB and your keyboard will be listed in the table. Check the checkbox and 
click OK to confirm.
Now, the external keyboard will control the VM, and the internal keyboard will 
control the host system. This means you can use both systems simultaneously and 
have full keyboard support on Windows! I use an external windows-style 
mechanical keyboard with my Mac, so can use typical Windows key 
commands/placements.

Bill
P.S. VMWare Fusion has been abandoned. I’m still using it at the moment, but I 
wouldn’t suggest it for new or mission critical systems. Still looking for a 
better accessible hypervisor for the Mac, haven’t found a replacement yet.

RE: num padis locked

[Simon Fogarty]

So Bill

This could answer a question for me also.

As my mac mini is my host machine,and I have a mac USB keyboard connected to 
that,

If I want a windows keyboard USB to control my windows VM
S in fusion, if I do the below you have suggested then the windows keyboard 
will control the vms’s and the mac keyboard the mac os and I wont have to keep 
changing things it will just happen.

No.
You need to modify the VM so that the keyboard can be connected to it directly.
Here’s how :
Locate your VM bundle. Typically, it’s located in a subfolder of Documents 
which is in your home folder.
right click (VO+shift+m), show package contents.
Open the "your-machine-name.vmx" file in a text editor (textEdit is included on 
OS X but any editor will work).
Add the following two lines to the bottom of the file :

usb.generic.allowHID = "TRUE"
usb.generic.allowLastHID = "TRUE"

Save the file (command+s) and close it.
Reopen VMWare and start up your VM. Then click the "show settings" button.
Go to USB and your keyboard will be listed in the table. Check the checkbox and 
click OK to confirm.
Now, the external keyboard will control the VM, and the internal keyboard will 
control the host system. This means you can use both systems simultaneously and 
have full keyboard support on Windows! I use an external windows-style 
mechanical keyboard with my Mac, so can use typical Windows key 
commands/placements.

Bill
P.S. VMWare Fusion has been abandoned. I’m still using it at the moment, but I 
wouldn’t suggest it for new or mission critical systems. Still looking for a 
better accessible hypervisor for the Mac, haven’t found a replacement yet.

I’m using VMWare Fusion 8.1. Do you mean I should disconnect the keyboard and

You need to connect the keyboard directly to the VM.
What virtualization software are you using?

Hey All,
Please keep  in mind that I’m new to the mac world. I have a full size Apple

Any help is always much appreciated.

RE: cannot sign in to iTunes anymore

[M. Taylor]

Hello Ray,

Sadly, I cannot reproduce your problem.  iTunes is letting me login without any 
problem, even when I follow your steps.

Ray, do you have any vision?  Is it possible that there is some kind of dialog 
box being displayed that VoiceOver is not announcing?  

Can you log into and out of the iTunes app on your phone?  

Mark
