Re: An audio editor question
It’s possible that left- and right brackets work, however they aren’t in the same place on the Swedish keyboard as on the US English so i don’t know if it’s at all possible to do this. I and O doesn’t work, it just produces the VO bong. /Krister > 18 mars 2018 kl. 19:33 skrev Raymond Foret Jr : > > Did you try left bracket to drop a beginning marker and right bracket to drop > an end marker?

Offline music on iPhone, Apple Music
Hi all I’m using Apple Music on my iPhone. With Apple music you can just add music to your library, or you can download it for offline listening. I’m wondering if there’s a quick and easy way to see which songs have been downloaded to my iPhone vs those just saved to my library. I know there’s a “Downloaded Music” section, but I want to be able to see which is downloaded and which just saved from the other section with all the music. My current way of doing this is to go in to each artist and check, but there must be a quicker way. Nickus -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Re: MS Office 365
My apologies for references to the Windows side below, but in order to understand MS Office features it is sometimes necessary to compare to their native environment. I switched over from Apple Mail to Outlook mostly because my corporate e-mail stopped working correctly when it was migrated to cloud based usage. Once I assigned goto linked item VoiceOver action to a keystroke I got fairly efficient. When focus is on the body of a message you have to either hit gotoLinkedItem which will be the delete button or else click command-delete to delete the current message. Threaded view in the message list is very confusing the selected item is not what one would expect, it seems to go to the oldest unread item weather coming from the bottom or the top. That said, the info panel works fairly well, I can always find attachments with ease and working with the message preview works better than on a Windows computer. I have either not found or else it is not available to have Outlook keep the message window open and move to either the previous item or next item which is something I do like in the Windows version even though right now neither JAWS or NVDA seem to want to read the new title bar when the message switches. One other slight annoyance is that the message list reads every column much like WindowEyes and NVDA do on the Windows side. One great feature of the new 365 products is that most of them have a accessibility checker in the proofing area of the ribbon, and yes Microsoft Office for Macintosh has both Ribbon and menus and some things are only reachable by one of the two methods.

Re: MS Office 365
Jonathan, I will use Word the most but since Outlook is part of the package, I will set it up. So I may rattle your cage soon, I was able to get my Juliet Classic to work in the Windows VM, thus Word which I used with DBT Win on the laptop.

On 3/19/2018 2:27 PM, Jonathan Cohn wrote: My apologies for references to the Windows side below, but in order to understand MS Office features it is sometimes necessary to compare to their native environment. I switched over from Apple Mail to Outlook mostly because my corporate e-mail stopped working correctly when it was migrated to cloud based usage. Once I assigned goto linked item VoiceOver action to a keystroke I got fairly efficient. When focus is on the body of a message you have to either hit gotoLinkedItem which will be the delete button or else click command-delete to delete the current message. Threaded view in the message list is very confusing the selected item is not what one would expect, it seems to go to the oldest unread item weather coming from the bottom or the top. That said, the info panel works fairly well, I can always find attachments with ease and working with the message preview works better than on a Windows computer. I have either not found or else it is not available to have Outlook keep the message window open and move to either the previous item or next item which is something I do like in the Windows version even though right now neither JAWS or NVDA seem to want to read the new title bar when the message switches. One other slight annoyance is that the message list reads every column much like WindowEyes and NVDA do on the Windows side.

Revisiting the forgotten history of obscure Apple accessories, 9 to 5 Mac
Revisiting the forgotten history of obscure Apple accessories By Michael Steeber For many iPhone X owners, two of the most hotly anticipated upcoming Apple products are accessories. Both previewed during last fall's keynote address at Steve Jobs Theater, the AirPower wireless charging mat and AirPods wireless charging case arrive on the heels of another high-profile Apple accessory - the HomePod. While Apple's accessory strategy is more ambitious and important to their success than ever before, the company's assent for accent has a storied past. Just like the products they complement, accessories come and go with the seasons, and after touring desk drawers and closet shelves for a few years often find themselves abandoned by time. Browsing the halls of obscure and forgotten Apple accessories reveals a winding and surprising assortment of products. From cases, to cables, to chargers, how many do you know? Lightning to Micro USB Adapter The iPhone 5 was the first iOS device to drop the familiar 30-pin connector for charging and syncing in favor of the Lightning port. Alongside the phone's introduction in September 2012, Apple quietly released the Lightning to Micro USB adapter for the European market. The dongle appeased an odd EU legislation that made it necessary for all smartphones to offer a micro USB connection. In November 2012, Apple made the adapter available to customers in the United States. You can still pick one up on Apple's website today for $19. Apple Remote The original Apple Remote debuted alongside the iMac G5 in October 2005, and was designed to work with Apple's Front Row home theater application for Mac OS X and universal iPod docks. The first-generation remote looked a lot like the original iPod shuffle, and was made entirely out of plastic. Power came from a small, button cell battery that popped out of the bottom of the device. The Apple TV adopted the Apple Remote as its controller when it went on sale in 2007. Apple released a longer, aluminum redesign of the remote in 2009, complementing the maturing aesthetic of newer Macs and iOS devices. While you can still buy the remote on Apple's website for $19, Front Row no longer exists, and iPods are mostly a thing of the past. Today, Apple ships the more modern Siri Remote with new Apple TVs, which includes a touch surface instead of a directional pad. Apple USB SuperDrive One of the biggest concerns for early adopters of the MacBook Air was how to use existing CDs and DVDs with a computer that had no optical disk drive. Apple's solution was to offer the MacBook Air SuperDrive, which debuted alongside the original Air in January 2008. As other computers in Apple's lineup stopped offering internal optical drives, the product was rebranded as the Apple USB SuperDrive, compatible with all Macs manufactured after 2008. Today, most people have completely moved on from physical media, but you can still buy a USB SuperDrive from Apple for $79 if you're looking for an expensive dose of nostalgia. iPhone TTY Adapter First introduced for the original iPhone in 2007, Apple's TTY Adapter is probably one of the most niche accessories the company has ever made. The 3.5mm adapter is designed to let an iPhone interface with standard TTY accessibility devices. Despite the fact that the iPhone X, 8, 8 Plus, 7 and 7 Plus have no headphone jack, Apple still sells the adapter for $19. Since iOS 10, you can make TTY calls from your iPhone without using additional hardware. Discontinued Accessories Pride Edition and International Collection Woven Nylon Apple Watch bands In June 2016, Apple distributed special pride-themed Watch bands to employees participating in San Francisco's annual LGBT Pride Parade. A year later, the same bands were made available to the general public for $49 on Apple's website. By September, the bands were no longer for sale, making them one of the shortest lived Apple Watch collections to date. Even more limited was Apple's International Collection of nylon bands created for the 2016 Olympic Games. A series of 14 bands themed after the flags of competing countries debuted in time for the start of the games in August 2016. While the bands sold for the same $49 as other nylon designs, they were available exclusively at Apple VillageMall in Rio de Janeiro. This past January, Apple created a special Activity ring-themed band for employees participating in an internal wellness challenge. The band has not yet been made available to the general public. iPod touch loop The fifth-generation iPod touch was the first and only iOS device to include a mounting button for a color-matched loop accessory. The iPod touch has long been a favorite choice for children, and the loop was designed to save iPods from costly falls. After its introduction in September 2012, the loop was sold until the sixth-generation iPod touch dropped the connector entirely. Today, Apple sells a similar Siri Remote Loop for the Apple TV.

Taylor wrote: Amazon makes it easier to give Alexa follow-up commands It's easy enough to summon Alexa on one of Amazon's speakers, but when you've got a million things to ask the voice assistant, it can be a pain having to say "Hey, Alexa" over and over again. Now, Amazon has rolled out a new feature, which gives its Echo speakers the ability to listen to back-to-back commands for the assistant. When you switch on Alexa's Follow-up Mode, your Echo speaker will continue listening for a second command for a few seconds after you issue the first one -- no need to wake it up again by saying "Hey, Alexa." You'll know for sure if the device is listening if its blue indicator is on. Take note, though, that your speaker won't wait for a follow-up if it's in the middle of playing music or audiobooks. Also, Alexa won't respond until it's "confident you're speaking to" it. You'd have to talk clearly and audibly, otherwise it won't be able to separate what you're saying from background noise. You can also ensure that Alexa won't think that you're issuing follow-up commands when you're talking to someone else by ending the conversation: simply say "stop," "thank you," "cancel" or "go to sleep." If this sounds useful, because you pepper Alexa with questions and tasks, just fire up the voice assistant's app and head to Settings. Select the device you want, scroll down, toggle on the mode and you're good to go.
