Re: Possible Switch To VarioUltra Braille Display

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi Pete, 

Firstly, the display isn't available at this time, though there are rumors that 
a company will start producing them soon. 
If they ever do go back into production, though, I highly recommend the 
VarioUltra. It's very versatile, as you can have up to 4 Bluetooth devices and 
1 USB device connected all at once. I use mine mostly to read Bookshare books, 
as you can store files on the display itself. 

I hope you find a display that best suits your needs,
Brianna

Re: Finding system dialogues on Mac 10.15.4

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi guys, 

I have my trackpad commander turned on. Now, I don't remember if I had to set 
this up as I've had it for a while,  but with two fingers on the right, I 
double-tap and can see my system dialogues. On the other side, I can do the 
same thing and access the application chooser. 
Now, when you do this, you have to position your hands sideways, so that your 
palms face the part of the Mac where your wrists would go while typing. 
Hopefully I've explained that well enough. 
Just figured it was another way to help.

Re: Catalina -- What are Caveats and Trade-Offs?

[Brianna Snyder]

I have noticed the aforementioned interacting bug. Also, I'm seeming to get 
stuck in places on Safari a bit. Well, this really only applies to GoodReads. 
For example, while looking through book reviews, I'll search the phrase "rated 
it" to quickly get through the ratings. In Mojave, I could move to the next one 
with the find next command. That doesn't work so well under Catalina, as it'll 
just circle back to the rating I'm already on. 
I did change some cursor behavior,  which did fix the problem. Only, it seems 
to have returned. Maybe the preferences reverted back to how they were when I 
upgraded,  and I just need to go change them again, but even if that was the 
case, it's annoying.

Re: Catalina -- What are Caveats and Trade-Offs?

[Brianna Snyder]

Interesting. I use QuickNav on Safari, so whenever I get stuck, I'll press 
right arrow to get past it but it just circles back around. 
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who's seen this.

Re: Safari Version 14

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

I can definitely tell you that I'd love to go back to Safari 13. I'm running 
Catalina. I am now unable to select or interact with text. I get taken to 
another part of the page every time I try. It's a pretty big showstopper.

Re: Anyone Know About Ray-Ban Smart Glasses?

[Brianna Snyder]

I own and love them. Holding up something and asking what it is is way easier than using Seeing AI on the phone since you're hands-free.Color identification seems pretty accurate. You can get summaries of text you're looking at, but for serious text reading, I use Seeing AI.They'll give you short scene descriptions, and you can ask about specific stuff in the picture from there.There are 5 microphone in the glasses, making the videos seem as if you're right there when you watch them back.You don't actually need a FB account, but I mean, yeah, it IS Meta. And Meta owns FaceBook.They're not for everyone, but hands-free AI capabilities, spatial audio in videos, and open-ear audio when walking about make them one of my best $400 purchases.Brianna On Jun 26, 2024, at 11:53 AM, 'Patrick Ford' via MacVisionaries  wrote:ACB recently put out a podcast about these glasses, and the people who actually own them spoke about their experiences with them, their limitations, and so forth, I’m not sure we are on ACB American council for the blind, that they keep these podcasts for replay, but if you write to ACB they would tell you I’m sure Sent from my iPhoneOn Jun 26, 2024, at 8:02 AM, 'Eileen Scrivani ' via MacVisionaries  wrote:Okay, thank you.

Re: rss readers

[brianna Snyder]

Hello, 

I use one called Vienna, and I like it a lot. I'm very interested to find an 
RSS reader that I can use both on the Mac, and the iDevices, though. 
Suggestions? 

Thanks, 
Brianna

VIP's in Mountain Lion?

[brianna Snyder]

Hi everyone, 

I'm trying to learn my way around Mountain Lion. The experience is 
alright so far. I love the access to status menus from third party apps. 

I just have a question. Does anyone know how you make a person a VIP in Mail? 

Thanks in advance,  
Brianna

Re: VIP's in Mountain Lion?

[brianna Snyder]

Yep Ray, that's about it. 

VIP's are people you want to single out, like family members, or friends, who 
email you. 
You can make notification center only give you notifications of those emails, 
instead of everyone's, so it's useful. 
Also, each VIP gets their own mailbox. 

Hope this helps, 
Brianna

Two ML Questions

[brianna Snyder]

Hi all, 

Here's yet more questions. Since I've upgraded to Mountain Lion, I've been 
unable to tab from the mailboxes table to see the messages that are in the 
selected mailboxes. Anyone have any idea why, and how I can fix it? Or a way to 
use mail that's just as efficient? 


Also, does anyone have any idea how to add third-party apps to the notification 
center? Or if this can even be done? Perhaps all the apps that I have don't 
support it yet. I know for certain that Dropbox doesn't, and that's the one 
that I really can't wait to have notification center support for. 


Thanks in advance, 
Brianna

Re: Two ML Questions

[brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

Thanks for your answer. It does make sense. I just hope that third party apps 
will be able to do it soon. 

And yes, I love the new access to status menus from third party apps. 

How do you go from the mailboxes to the messages within the mailbox, then, if 
you don't use tab? Do you use the favorites group? Just wondering of a new way 
I could use Mail to do this. 

Thanks, 
Brianna

Re: Two ML Questions

[brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

Yes, I love that dropbox is available in the menu bar. I only want it in my 
notification center to see when new stuff is added, so I don't always have to 
look at the menu to see if it's downloading, which didn't work earlier when I 
tested it out. It only shows when I'm uploading, from what I can tell. 

I had the all controls button checked in my keyboard prefs, but thanks for the 
idea. It was a really good one.

Re: tab key in ML?

[brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

Yes, I have noticed this. I've been wondering about how I can either fix this, 
or do something else to use mail as efficiently as I did before. I don't like 
arrowing between the two tables. Any ideas on other ways to use mail, or how to 
be able to use tab between the mailbox list and the messages table would be 
appreciated. 

Thanks, 
Brianna

VLC Skipping...Suggestions?

[brianna Snyder]

Hi everyone, 

I use the media player VLC to play my music. I really like it, and it plays 
just about everything. 
However, I've recently been having a problem, where it's skipping pretty badly. 
Do any of you guys who use VLC have any suggestions on how I can change my 
settings to stop this? I have repaired my permissions, so it can't be that. 


Or do any of you have any other suggestions for media players that isn't 
iTunes? I only say not iTunes, because I do not want everything I listen to to 
be put into my iPod's library. 

Suggestions would be most appreciated. 

Thanks, 
Brianna

VLC Skipping Fixed by Clean Install

[brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

Thanks for the suggestion on the clean install of VLC, and for the site link. 
It seems to be better now, but I've only just done it. I just notice that I 
haven't had any skipping yet, and that's really awesome, since it was starting 
to skip pretty often. 

Thanks,

Word Games for the Mac?

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

I've been looking for word games. The only ones I've been able to find were for 
the IOS devices, and even those weren't totally accessible. However, I thought 
that it would be nice to be able to play some kind of word game on the 
computer. Suggestions, anyone? 

How about any other Mac games, aside from the RS games client? 

Thanks, 
Brianna

Re: Latest Adium Beta is worth a serious look!

[Brianna Snyder]

I like the beta, I'm just wondering what's with the horizontal splitter between 
where you type your message, and the convo history. 
Also, why is there something before the contact's name that you're talking to, 
called title?
Other than these things, the beta is awesome. 
However, I'm wondering, in the toolbar, how do you activate the buttons for 
change name and status?

Re: Pandora

Hi, 

I use an app called PianoPub. It's very good, just buttons need labeling, but 
that is easy to do, since they all have help tags.

Re: Pandora

Hi, 

I have. You just need to go to the station in the table, turn off your trackpad 
commander, and double-click with that, when you've made sure your cursor is on 
the station.

iTunes not opening under Yosemite

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

I updated iTunes to the latest version while under Mavericks, and then upgraded 
my computer to Yosemite. As the subject states, I can’t open iTunes, whether I 
try from the dock, or the applications folder. All that happens is, VoiceOver 
just says “open”. Is anyone else having this problem? I’ve logged out and then 
back into my account, moved my iTunes directory to a new place, and even tried 
installing iTunes from the Apple website. Still, nothing helps. Does anyone 
else have this problem, or is it just me?

Making Blind Adrenaline Games Accessible on the Mac

[Brianna Snyder]

Hello, 

On my Windows computer, I play poker, yacht zee, and a few card games on a site 
called Blind Adrenaline. 
Lately, I have been wishing that these games were accessible on the Mac. 
Whether the site owner knows how to write apps for Mac, I don't know, but when 
he was asked why he did not make them for the Mac, he said that the market was 
too small. 
I just wondered how many of you on this list would like a site on which you 
could play games such as euchre, spades, hearts, poker, and a few more games 
with your Mac. 
I know that the Mac has only a few games which the visually impaired can play, 
so it would be great to get this site's games accessible on the Mac platform. 
For anyone interested, the site is 
www.blindadrenaline.com 

If you like what you see there, and the different games, and if you would like 
to get these games accessible on the Mac, I would ask that you send an email to 

blindadrenal...@gmail.com 

This is only because I would like the site owner to realize that the market is 
not as small as it seems, and that people would be willing to pay, if he were 
able to write his games for the Mac.

Re: Making Blind Adrenaline Games Accessible on the Mac

[Brianna Snyder]

I agree with free, as well. However, $40 a year isn't bad for seven different 
games, and they're always adding more. You don't even have to pay it all at 
once, you can pay 20 for half a year. The only free game client that I know of 
is RS Games.

Re: Giving up on I R C

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi Chris, 

I use an IRC client called MacIrssi. I don't have it set up with Growl or 
anything, but I'm sure you can make it do so. It seems like an alright client, 
but then I never used IRC all that much until a friend suggested it. 

Hope this helps, 
Brianna

Re: Lion: Worth The Upgrade?

[Brianna Snyder]

Yes, it's definitely worth it. Yes, there's a couple little problems, but 
overall, it's really good. 
Many bugs are fixed, including the one where system voice would interrupt 
Voiceover while speaking. 
The conversations view in Mail is good too, if you follow threads. There are 
many new voices. Drag and drop works very well, and there's a new way to move 
files, ass opposed to jut cutting them. The dock is a lot better too. For 
example, if you have unread messages in Mail, you can do to the dock and see 
how many there are. 
These are only just a few of the reasons why I'd think it is worth it to 
upgrade.

Re: For Those WHo Don't Want Window Restoration

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi all, 

In the menu bar while in safari, go to the history menu. In there, there is an 
item that says reopen all windows from last session. Uncheck that, and Safari 
will no longer reopen windows when you quit it.

 I've read some posts on list from people here who don't really want their

 don't know of a way to stop individual apps from acting this way, there is 
 a global preference to do so for all of them.  The new General pane 
 contains a checkbox to prevent app window restoration.
 Hope this helps,
 Zack.

Adapter for Mac: Where to put files for conversion

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

I downloaded the Adapter program for file conversion. It seems accessible 
enough, but I can't figure out where to either paste the file I want converted, 
or where to put a path or URL to a file. All I see is an empty table, where I 
think I'm supposed to be putting these things. Any help on this would be 
appreciated. 

Thanks, 
Brianna

PianoPub

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

Someone on the list wrote that they were using PianoPub for Pandora. I used to, 
but then it wouldn't work, because it told me that I had to upgrade it. Does 
anyone know how to solve this problem? I've uninstalled it and reinstalled, but 
it still didn't work. It said something about protocol, but I can't remember 
the exact message.

How to Move Songs in Up Next iTunes 11?

Hi, 

Just as the subject says, how do you move songs around in up next, in iTunes

instead of after three other songs? 

Hope this makes sense,

EBook reader for Mac?

Nook.

Re: EBook reader for Mac?

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

I'm sorry, I should have clarified. I didn't mean IBooks, I know that only the 
IOs IBOoks app can only do iBooks, and nothing else can. 

I want to give IText Express a try. Does that read Nook books? I'm thinking of 
making an account for that, since I found out that nook books are accessible. 

How much is Adobe Digital Editions? 

Thanks a lot for your help,

Re: EBook reader for Mac?

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi,, 

Thanks a lot for the IText Express recommendation. It reads Nook books well. 
I've tried with the free samples. I don't know anything about Kolbo, so can't 
say as to whether this app wil read them  or not. 

The Nook app for the IOS devices is really nice, too. I'm excited by what this 
means for anyone who loves to read, and wants more than what Bookshare or 
iBooks currently offers.

Re: translating brf files on the mac.

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

This is really weird, because it's working fine now for me, too. I tried it 
twice before a couple weeks ago, and it gave me the error message. 

Either way, it works again. 

To use the app, after you select the documents tab, go to the button that says 
choose File, and then use the browser to locate the file you want. After you've 
chosen the file, go to the processing tab, and hit the run translation button, 
and it should translate. 

Hope this helps, 
Brianna

Re: Reading epub files on the Mac

Hi, 

I use iText Express. It reads me Nook books, and they are ePub format.

Re: Reading epub files on the Mac

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

If you mean can I read it with the arrow keys, then yes, I can. I think the 
braille display works in it, as well. It's free if you want to try looking it 
up in the Mac app store. 

I remember that the inability to move around in the document with VoiceOver is 
what stopped me from getting Adobe Digital Editions in the first place

MarsEdit Question

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi everyone, 

I was wondering if anyone who uses MarsEdit for blogging could answer a 
question for me. Do any of you know how to insert images that you have on your 
computer into your posts? I just started co-blogging on a book blog, so I'd 
like to know how to do this. 

Thanks,

Tips for Using WordPress?

I just recently became a co-blogger, and I was wondering if anyone who used

Anything else you think is useful would be good to know, too.

Double-Spacing and changing font with TextEdit

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

I just got a MacBook Pro about three weeks or so ago. I love everything about 
it, all except one thing. 
What I'm primarily using my window PC for now is writing papers.  This is 
because I can't figure out how to change the spacing to double, and the font to 
times new Roman, and to size 12 from within TextEdit. I know that the font 
changing can be done with the format menu, I think, but I'm not sure how to do 
that, and save those changes to the document I'm working on. 
What I'm not sure can be done is double-spacing. If so, can anyone tell me how 
to do this, and how to change the font? 

Thanks, 
Brianna

Re: Double-Spacing and changing font with TextEdit

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi Colin, 

Thanks, that'll definitely help. But...I can't find the ruler. When I open 
TextEdit, I'm interacting with the edit field. When I uninteract with that, I 
see the regular close, zoom, minimize buttons, and I see untitled, and the edit 
text field. 
Where is the ruler located? I have seen it before, I just don't know how I got 
to it. 
Maybe there's a command I'm missing or something. 

Thanks for your help,

Re: Double-Spacing and changing font with TextEdit

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi,

Thanks for all those instructions. The ruler was set to show itself in the 
preferences, so I'm not sure. I'm thinking that since you said it usually 
won't show in plain text mode, that's my problem, though. So I should choose 
a different document format?

Hi,

If your ruler is not showing itself, you may have accidentally pressed cmd-r 
which hides it.  Try this:


1.  Press cmd-comma to bring up your Preferences.
2.  Make sure the New document tab is selected.
3.  Navigate until you find the Show Ruler checkbox.
4.  Make sure it is checked.
5.  If the ruler still isn't showing after you return to the regular 
TextEdit window, just Quit and re-open TextEdit and it should show itself.


Also note, that the ruler usually will not show when in Plain Text mode.

If you'd like any other suggestions with TextEdit, you can check out my page

Re: Double-Spacing and changing font with TextEdit

Hey Tim, 

Thanks a lot for your help. Your TextEdit page is definitely a good resource 
for people like me who want to use that as their word processor. I'll 
definitely look at your site. 

Thanks again for all the help,

Re: selecting files in finder and finder commands

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

if you're using Lion, interact with the list where your file is, go to that 
file, hit option-control-command-space, then arrow down the list until you come 
to the next file, and do option-control-command-space on that one. Do that 
until all your files are selected, and then do command C to copy, like normal.

Using Adapter or Max for File Conversion

[Brianna Snyder]

Hello list, 

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how to use either Max or Adapter 
to convert files. Someone wrote that they worked well on the list, and I've 
been wanting to be able to convert files, so I downloaded both apps, but have 
not been able to figure out how to use them past the setup of picking which 
format you want to convert in to. With both of these programs, I have been 
unable to get the file(s) that I want to convert into the conversion table. I 
was just wondering if anyone knew how to do this, or had any tips for using 
either of these programs. 

Thanks for your help, 
Brianna

Re: Apple Care Protection

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

So if you need your Mac replaced, how much would you have to pay, since I 
assume it wouldn't be free?
What if you need a new battery, how much cheaper is it with the applecare plan, 
as opposed to without it? 
I'm just wondering how much money this would actually save you, if you get any 
major discounts if some part of your computer were to break, like the battery, 
or if the whole machine needed replaced.

Thanks,

Re: Quick way to get to my dropbox folder?

[Brianna Snyder]

You could also make an alias or shortcut by using command-L when you're in your 
home folder, on your dropbox folder, as if you were going to open it. Type 
command-L, and the alias will appear in your home folder. When it does, just 
move it to wherever you want it, like your desktop. Then, whenever you want to 
go to your dropbox folder, just go to your desktop, find the dropbox alias, and 
press command-O, and the folder wi open. 

To add the dropbox folder to your dock, go to the dropbox folder in your home 
folder, an when you're on it, do command-shift-T, and the folder will then be 
on your dock.

Mac not Accepting any DVD

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

My friend has a Mac, and he wanted to reformat to get a clean install of Lion, 
however his Mac kept ejecting his DVD's. It even did this when he tried to 
restore to Snow Leopard. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is 
happening, and why the Mac keeps ejecting the disks, and ways to fix it? 

THanks for your help,

Re: resuming of Windows in Lion

Hi, 

In the history menu in Safari, there's an option called something like reopen

the windows you've closed. I'm not sure if this was what you're looking for, 
but hope it helps some.

main Twitter client and replacing Syrinx. Firstly, even though I went into 
general prefs and unchecked automatically scroll to the top of the list, 
whenever I'm in another app, like Adium and I get a new tweet, when I go back 
to Yoru, I have to hit down arrow before I can read the new tweets. Unchecking 
the option to automatically scroll to top seemed to help, but then it stopped 
working. 
Second, even though conversation view was working right earlier, now when I 
press command 3, it reads me who the tweet was from, and maybe a bit of the 
tweet itself, and then it makes a noise at me, stopping VoiceOver from reading. 
I've quit and relaunched the app, as well as VoiceOver, but it hasn't helped. 
Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do to change this behavior? I've 
looked through both VoiceOver and Yoru preferences, and I can't find anything. 
Therefore, any suggestions would be welcome. 

Thanks, 
Brianna

Re: good media players that aren't iTunes?

Hi, 

VLC is what I use for playing media. It's an awesome little program.

Re: playing podcasts online

[Brianna Snyder]

Hey Marlaina, 

I had this problem yesterday too, so don't worry. Just interact with the 
timeline, go forward in that a bit, and you should be good. You may have to 
move back, but it works.

Switching Windows iTunes Library to Mac?

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

I was just wondering if it was possible to somehow transfer my iTunes Windows 
library to my Mac. I have an iPod Touch, and I would love to be able to sync it 
with my MacBook Pro, as opposed to having to turn on the Windows machine every 
time I need to recharge my iPod, or sync new music. 
I figured that I would ask here, just to see, since I'm fairly certain that you 
can't do this without completely remaking your library. 

Thanks, 
Brianna

Using a Macbook/MacBook Pro as Primary Computer?

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

I just got my MacBook Pro about a month and a half ago. Now that I've started 
figuring more and more things out, I find myself using the Mac way more than my 
old Windows desktop. I was just wondering if anyone used their MacBook/MacBook 
Pro as their main computer? 
I'd love to, as I love the OS so much more than windows. The only thing 
stopping me is I don't know how much it hurts the battery to use it every day 
until it tells me I'm running on reserved battery power, when I charge it, 
sometimes while still using it. 
I was just wondering if this could hurt my battery in any way, and under this 
kind of usage, how long the battery would last until I need to replace it. 

Sorry for all the questions, I've just been really wondering this for a while. 

Thanks for all your help, 
Brianna

Re: Using a Macbook/MacBook Pro as Primary Computer?

[Brianna Snyder]

Hey list, 

Thanks to everyone for their input. I like hearing how everyone uses their 
macBooks, and how they take care of them if it's their main computer. 
You guys have helped me to see that I can continue to use my Mac as I have been 
doing, and I don't have to worry about hurting the battery at this point in 
time. 
Thanks for all the opinions and suggestions. It all helps.

Hi, 

To see your battery status, just press control option and M twice, to get to 
the status menu. After that, right arrow until you hear the battery status.

Deleted email messages coming back in Windows?

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

I've tried all the settings I can think of, and the suggestion of other people. 
I was just wondering if any of you had this problem where you delete emails 
using your Mac or iDevice, and they come back if you check your email in 
Windows. 
If so, has anyone found a way to fix this? I've checked and unchecked pretty 
much everything that has to do with keeping messages on the server. Any help 
would be appreciated. I hardly ever use my windows machine now, and I don't 
like having to erase tons of email every time I want to check it from that 
computer. 

Thanks, 
Brianna

Updating Growl?

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

I was just wondering how one did this. My growl keeps saying mu version is out 
of date, and that I should click here to download the newer version. Well, 
where it wants me to click never shows with VoiceOver. I know I could go to the 
Growl website and download it, but where do I put Growl when it's downloaded? 

Thanks, 
Brianna

Hi, 

Thanks for your help. I've installed it successfully. Had i known it was that 
easy, I definitely would have done it a while ago. 

Thanks again,

Word Processors, was Re: first mac perchus

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

I'm glad that the topic of word processors came up. I see that TextEdit will be 
good for paper writing, as far as double spacing, and font changes. 
However, I was wondering if there was a way to get it to put in page numbers, 
or to see what page you are on in a multi-paged document. I'm just wondering, 
since i"m going to be doing a lot of paper writing for school this semester, 
and was trying to figure out if I should buy Pages.

I don't hae any kind of antivirus software on my Mac, and was just wondering if 
I should install one.

Re: [macvoiceover] Re: Newest Skype Beta update

[Brianna Snyder]

I just updated mine, and I think I like it. I don't know if it's just me not 
knowing how, but I never could figure out how to conference in the last beta. I 
think they may have fixed it, although I haven't had the chance to test that 
out. But the sounds work, which I'm definitely glad for. 
The source list seems ok to me.

Re: first impressions of the new Skype

[Brianna Snyder]

I agree. Besides, isn't it easier to have a keystroke to do that anyway, rather 
than going all the way to the contact list, and going to a contact's context 
menu? Just my thoughts.

 Hi.
 
 I have ran the beta of this version, and it took me a while to get used 
 to. However, I really love the final release.
 To inable the video, you have to find the video button in the confrence 
 window. This leads me to something weird and pretty annoying I have  
 discovered: It seems like Voiceover sometimes lost the focus and jumps 
 over some part on the screen, which might be the reason for you have 
 missed the Video button. Because of that issue, I don't remember if the 
 video button is in the toolbar or if it is at the confrense screen.
 
 I have seen the option to add an incoming call to a confrence, but it have 
 never worked for me, and I don't remember where I found it. I think it's 
 somewhere in the menubar.

Making a Skype Conference: is it Possible?

Just like the subject says, I'd like to know if you can make a conference in

Re: Making a Skype Conference: is it Possible?

Thanks. 
I saw the add people button, but I thought that that was just to look for a 
contact. I'm not sure. But how do I click the mouse on their name, so that that 
add button comes up? Just the regular option control shift, and space? Sorry 
for the questions, but I don't know all of the ways to click the mouse yet. 

Thanks for your help,

Does anyone use Cog Audio Player?

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

I was looking for a way to play a folder which has subfolders in it. My main 
player right now is VLC, but it won't let me do that. I googled, and I found 
Cog. I think it will do what I'm looking for, except I can't figure out how to 
drag songs in to a playlist, or if this is even possible with VoiceOver. 
Therefore, I was wondering if anyone used this player with any success, or if 
wil be usable at all to play more than one file at a time, because that's all I 
could get it to do, was to play one song.  

Thanks for your help,

Re: Bookshare DAISY files and default behavior of Safari

Hi, 

I download Bookshare books in BRF. I use an app called the Unarchiver. It works

switching stations in PianoPub

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi, 

I'm wondering how to switch between stations in PianoPub. I have tried focusing 
on the name of the station I want in the stations table with the VoiceOver 
cursor, and then physically clicking the mouse, and I've tried the mouse click 
keystroke, VO-shift-space. Also, I've tried to route the mouse cursor to the 
station I want, with Vo-command-F5, and I've done the physical mouse click, as 
well as the mouse click keystroke. Needless to say, nothing happens. If anyone 
has suggestions, they would be much appreciated.
Aside from this little annoyance, I'm loving PianoPub. 

Thanks, 
Brianna

Using Track Changes with Pages on High Sierra

[Brianna Snyder]

Hello everyone, 

I was wondering if any of you had advice on how to use track changes on the 
latest version of Pages, while running High Sierra. 
I am able to view all of the comments, but there are times when I cannot see 
the text that the comment is referring to. 
For example, one such comment is that something in my writing is redundant. How 
do I efficiently navigate between the comments, and the text? 
If I use option with right or left arrows, I can navigate word by word. But who 
really wants to do that for a 100-page document? 
Therefore, any kind of advice to someone new to using track changes on Pages 
would be very appreciated. 

Thanks,
Brianna

Donna,

It will show the name, and then you have to either swipe right on the trackpad 
or right-arrow. Then you can see the time the comment was made, as well as the 
actual comment. 

Hope this helps,

Re: initial view of Power Beats pro

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi,

Thanks for your thoughts on these. I keep looking at reviews on them, so it's 
nice to have a perspective from a VoiceOver user. 
I had the first generation of AirPods, but returned them due to lag and missing 
phone calls because of said lag. 
Have you noticed that these work better when typing with VoiceOver? I've heard 
that the chip in both these and the AirPods 2 is supposed to fix most of the 
lag issue. 
As for sound quality, do you find it too bassy? That's what I've seen a lot of 
people say. 

Thanks for your thoughts,
Brianna

Re: initial view of Power Beats pro

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi Simon, 

Thank you very much for all of your thoughts on these. I was planning to try 
them out in the store, so I'm kind of sad to hear that you can't. 
If I got these, I'd definitely miss the small size of the AirPods case, but I 
could just carry the earbuds themselves around, I suppose. The battery life on 
them sounds good enough. 

I'll keep considering these. 

Thanks again, 
Brianna

Creating and Using Email Newsletters

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi everyone, 

I was wondering if anyone has any advice about creating and how to run a 
mailing list. 
I'm an author, so I'd have to work with at least some images. 
I've tried using Mailchimp, but got confused after creating the list. 
So, if any of you do have an email list, what site do you use, and how do you 
run your list? 

Thanks for the help. Since I'd be working with this on the Mac, I figured it 
was safe to ask here. :)

Questions about the find feature and a Safari bug in Catalina

[Brianna Snyder]

Hi everyone, 

I just upgraded to Catalina, and while the experience isn't bad overall, I'm 
wondering if you guys could help me out with two things. 

I'm noticing that whenever I search for a word, it'll take me to the text where 
that word is located, as normal. However, when I use the command to find the 
next instance of the word, it'll simply take me to the precise spot in the 
piece of text where the first word is located. I'm sure it's supposed to be 
considered helpful, but when I have to press the find next command twice just 
to go to the next instance of a word, it gets annoying. Is this supposed to be 
a feature, or can I change this behavior? 

As to the bug I mentioned in the subject line, I'm noticing something very 
annoying in Safari. I use GoodReads a lot, and to quickly find the reviews 
section, I'll search for the word "rated". The problem is, it gets stuck in the 
first review on the page. No matter how much I use right arrow, it just stays 
in that section. However, if I go to the heading below the reviews and navigate 
left, it works just fine. 

That in conjuction with how the find feature is working is getting a bit 
annoying. So...does anyone have advice on how I can change this? I'd really 
appreciate it. 

Thanks in advance, 
Brianna
