Games for the Mac?

[Brandon Olivares]

Does anyone know of any good accessible games for the Mac? I especially enjoy 
shooting games, but not a fan of zombies (so many accessible games seem to 
include zombies for some reason).

Been searching but not finding too much.

Exporting as pdf in mail app questions

[Eric Oyen]

Hello folks,
I have a question about exporting pdf files from mail. It gets the subject just 
fine, but what I want the export tool to also get is the date and who sent the 
email made as part of the filename with the date being first, name being second 
and subject being last.

Anyone have any good ideas on how to accomplish this?

-Eric

RE: keyboard commands on a Mac

['Jason White' via MacVisionaries]

I would suggest waiting for the release, then reading comments by people who 
upgrade before you do.

 

Also, AppleVis usually publishes a summary of new features and changes after 
each major release, together with notes on any remaining bugs relevant to 
VoiceOver users.

Is the next one above Catalina out yet? I'm probably going to upgrade to it but 
I want to find out how certain things are working in it like Apple Mail before 
I do it.

You could also set up a keyboard commander for turning on quicknav. I don’t 
have time right now to give detailed instructions, but if you  interested reply 
back with a key. Note in Catalina and higher, vo-Q toggles quicknav qwerty 
controls. In my default configuration, option Q does not mapped to anything, so 
that is probably a good keystroke to assign to toggle QuickNav.

Hi Lorie,

 

You have 2 options that I can think of:

 

Option 1:

While holding down VO + CMD, press the Left-arrow key, which will change rotor 
options until you get to either characters or words.  Then while continuing to 
hold down the VO + CMD keys, use the up or down arrows to navigate by the 
selected option.

 

Option 2:

Assuming you are using a MacBook Pro or Air, turn on the trackPad commander 
using VO plus a clockwise 2-finger rotor action on the trackpad.  Then use the 
rotor to select either characters or words, then use a one finger flick either 
up or down to navigate by the selected option.

 

HTH.

instead of quicknav, which I can't turn on right now because of a dead right 
arrow key, I've been using certain keyboard commands such as vo-commandl for 
links and vo-command-h for headings etc. my problem is that vo-command-w 
doesn't give me words and vo-command-c doesn't give me characters. are there 
keyboard commands for these?

Thanks,

Re: Games for the Mac?

[Herbie Allen]

I don’t know about games of that sort, however, if you want more dice and card 
games, there is an RS games app for the Mac, and Quentin's Playroom is 
accessible via Safari.

carefully with that kind of stuff.

Query regarding iPhone 5s for a friend.

['Gary Price' via MacVisionaries]

Morning everyone!
Please can anyone come up with any ideas.
I've let a friend of mine have my old iPhone 5s.
He wants to get a new iPhone though, the SE 2020.
But obviously he wants to back everything up first.
But this is where the problem and query comes into play.
He has his own apple ID and he has the basic 5GB iCloud storage.

He has all the latest operating system updates.

When he goes into iCloud under his apple ID, he tries to turn on backup as this 
is off.
When he does this though, the familiar message about syncing to iTunes comes 
up. I've told him to disregard that.

But when he clicks OK he is then receiving the following strange message.
iCloud backup failed.
There was a problem enabling iCloud backup. OK button.

Obviously using VoiceOver as he is blind.

Please has anyone on here ever seen this message?
Christopher Hallsworth has suggested signing out and back in again.

Thanks very much, I look forward to any responses!
