Re: maintaining virtual Windows
There should be no need to use any Windows Defragmenting tools, Vm- Ware Fusion and the Mac operating system will handle that between themselves.

Re: maintaining virtual Windows
No, a virtual machine doesn't require any defragmentation, a Virtual machine is actually only one file, something that VM-Ware Fusion can take care of itself. Now regarding a Mac needing defragmentation? Well actually it does but not nearly as often as a Windows PC and there are several applications out there to handle the disk defragmentation of your Mac, one very good and accessible application is I-Defrag, I don't have the url in front of me though but I can look it up if someone else doesn't beat me to it the application is £19.00 and it does make a difference to the performance of your Mac.

Re: Question on FTP server's for the mac.
Hi! I know of a friend who does this, I think he uses something called Wumpus? Excuse my spelling. I think there's also another FTP server application called Captain Ftp. Further to this, OS10 Leopard has a small FTP Server built-in, that is to say you can access your Mac with a FTP client and transfer files from there to say other machines on your network, - not recommended for Internet use for obvious security reasons -. You can turn this on under Sharing in System Preferences. Finally, I'm sure I read an article somewhere which gave specific instructions on turning your Mac into a fully fledged FTP server using a whole string of commands in Terminal but I didn't persist with this.

Viruses on your Mac
Hi! I'm sure this discussion has appeared on this list many times before , well its appeared in our local newspaper this morning in the "Mac man" computer column. It would appear the problem lies in "spreading" of a virus with a Mac machine rather than having your Mac machine "Infected" by a virus. To illustrate the point even further take Swine flue, the pig - whilst passing the virus on as a carrier - is not infected nor will he infect humans who eat his pork or bacon. The human on the other hand may become infected by swine flue from the pig or other humans, put the human in the position of the Windows computer and the Pig in the position of the Mac and whilst you'll acknowledge that the problem may not be as severe with the Pig or the Mac it nevertheless is a problem that is best dealt with to prevent the virus spreading. Several "Anti Virus" applications exist for the Mac, Symantec's Anti Virus for Mac got a mention but I've not been able to find a trial copy of this, does anyone else know of any other Anti Virus packages or is anyone else using an Anti Virus package for the Mac. If people are interested in the Article then it will be up on "My Sendspace" shortly for download, I'll post the link here. ** Dane Trethowan From Melton Victoria Australia mailto:"grtd...@internode.on.net Twitter: http://twitter.com/grtdane blog: http://www.grtdane.wordpress.com Phone United Kingdom 02032874641 Phone Australia 0390058589 Phone United States 8159261869 Fax: +61 3 9743 7954x MSN grtd...@dane-trethowan.net skype:grtdane12 ** --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Syrinx and Twitter podcast?
I use this software all the time and it has an issue when interacting with the table and using vo-left and right arrow to navigate the text so the only way around this is to navigate by character. I'm having no trouble with it here, the client clearly identifys the form of each message whether it be a direct message, a mention or a reply to. There are many commands and the best way I've found to find out what the hotkeys are is to go into the menu system and have a look around, the toolbar is also extensive and well detailed, if it weren't for the one problem I've noted then this software would have to be one of the best Twiter clients I've used on any platform, have you tried Adium? You're supposed to be able to use that as a Twitter client now. On 20/08/2009, at 11:03 PM, Jenny Kennedy (Howard) wrote: > > Hi, > Has anybody done a tutorial on using Syrinx and Twitter?

Re: watching (analog) tv on the mac?
Hi! I have a TV tuner for my Windows PC, its a Leadtech HDTV2000 PCI card though I know that a USB version is available, not sure whether it would work with the Mac though but the point is that this tuner is "world band compatible", meaning that it was specifically designed to work in many world-wide regions, just select your city and country upon install and away you go so I'm assuming that many other TV tuner packages available - and this one is certainly not the most expensive - will also do the same. Question though, why analogue TV, surely digital - if its available - would be the way to go with a clearer picture and the possibilities that surround-sound has to offer? I don't want to stray off-topic so I'll leave the discussion here .

Re: Viruses on your Mac
Quite a few nice little anti virus things about for the Mac it seems, I've stumbled across something called Protect Mac Anti Virus which is $45.00 for a yearly subscription, I think they have an offer going for an extra month if you buy the product now. anyway - like all software should be for the Mac - its completely accessible clearly showing you toolbars, detailed status reports, plenty of shortcuts and good menu facilities, in short a well written piece of software in my view and I sincerely hope it does the job I'll be paying it to do, you can download a free 30 day trial at http://www.protectmac.com On 21/08/2009, at 2:19 AM, Chris Blouch wrote: > I wasn't aware that AOL had an antivirus product for the mac. > > CB > > Maxwell Ivey Jr. wrote: >> >> Hello; I use iantivirus because its free.

Re: watching (analog) tv on the mac?
hmmm, I'm looking at the site now, doesn't seem to be a trial link or anything which is most helpful , I'm sure I've heard of this software before but there seems to be some doubt to its accessibility, I'll keep an eye on that one so thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Right, I'll go and have a play again in a few minutes as I have to use it here to do some editing anyway but I think there's also an "unselect all" option in the "selection" menu somewhere.

Re: Audio Editor
Before we go any further, Audio Hijack is a completely different tool than is Amadeus Pro, recording might be about the only thing they have in common, Audio Hijack Pro "hijacks" audio devices and applications of a Mac but it cannot edit audio, you could for example use Audio Hijack Pro in conjunction with Amadeus Pro, that is to say "hijack" and "record" a source with Audio Hijack Pro and edit that recording with Amadeus Pro, things can be set up so that Amadeus Pro and Audio Hijack Pro integrate seamlessly with each other.

Re: Audio Editor
I have both and both pieces of software were - as far as I'mconcerned - worth every cent I paid for them.

Re: mac mini mic jack
Hi! Okay, just because the microphone worked with the Windows PC doesn't mean its going to work with the Mac I'm afraid and if my hunch is correct - that you're using a microphone which plugs into the microphone jack of a PC and you're expecting it to work plugged into the Line in jack of your Mac - then you're going to be a little disappointed I think . I can't answer your garage Band question I'm afraid so let's deal with Skype then. The first thing you need to do is set the audio preferences in Skype, these are independent o the System Preferences for the Mac and are found by pressing command-, in Skype, go to the Toolbar, interact with it and press vo-space on the "Audio" button. From here you select your input and output, make sure the input reflects the microphone or whatever you're using. I bypassed a lot of this trouble by using a simple USB microphone, Logitech sell one for about $40.00 which does an excellent job, its the same as the one I use. You may also like to consider a USB headset though be a little careful here, some microphones on some sound as though you have your finger stuck up your nose . One final thing, to determine what you sound like on Skype, make a call to "Skype Test Call" which should be in your contacts table somewhere, if you can't find it then go into the "View" menu and select "Show offline contacts" On 22/08/2009, at 12:46 PM, John G.

Audio Hijack Pro
Okay, I've changed the subject line here from Audio Editors to Audio Hijack Pro as Audio Hijack Pro is not an audio editor. Like just about every Mac programme I use here, you don't need to win the lottery to buy Audio Hijack Pro, I bought it in a bundle with Fission quite some time ago, think it was $48.00 for both applications. The interface of Audio Hijack Pro is really very straight forward and I'll summarise it here, When the programme is launched, the first thing which has keyboard focus is the "Component And Sessions List" table, this is where you select the component or session you wish to hijack or record from, to the left of this table is a toolbar which has buttons on it like record, pause, split to new file, Hijack, Mute and so on - many of these buttons have keyboard shortcuts associated with them. What is displayed on the screen to the right of this table depends on the session selected, if you have the "Recording Bin" selected - that's where new recordings go - then options pertaining to the bin such as "Edit" and "Move To Trash" will be displayed along a table listing all the files in the bin. If you have an application or component selected then you'll see 5 tabs one after the other and they are Input, Schedule, Recording, Tags and Effects. Each of these tabs pretty much explains itself, input allows you to set input and output settings for your session, Schedule allows you to schedule a start and stop time for your hijacking or recording of the session, Recording allows you to specify settings for the recording of your session such as audio file format, sample rate, what to do with passages of silence, limits and so on. Tags allows you to set up file tagging for the session and Effects allows you to apply effects to the file such as a limiter, EQ and so on. Again this summary is a very basic summary but I thought I'd write it just to give you an idea of the Interface and what the application can do, if you're into audio then this is an application in my view worth having.

Re: Audio Hijack Pro
It would help you then think of components and sessions as, components being say devices such as sound cards, microphones, mixers and that sort of thing, sessions being those times when you Hijack applications such as Skype and so on. Yes, you can "Hijack" a stream from the Internet and have Voiceover talking away, it won't make any difference to the recording or hijacking at all, that's one of the beauties of Audio Hijack Pro, you can have multiple components and sessions being Hijacked at any one time. To hijack a stream of audio on the Internet you may need to be aware of a few things, firstly does the link on the Internet to the stream launch a "Stand Alone" application such as a media player like Itunes? If so then you need to Hijack Itunes and if you want to record the stream set your settings for the recording with the record tab and press record, that's all their is too it. If the link plays the stream in Safari then you just Hijack Safari in the same way. If another media player is launched as as VLC or Real Player then you need to set up a "New Session" which is done with the "New Session" button found near the bottom of the screen, here you define the application or source to be hijecked and so on.

Audio Hijack Pro: just had an interesting idea
Okay, we've been discussing Audio Hijack Pro and how inaccessible the "Effects" tab is? Well there may be another way around this. I regularly use the Scripting function of Audio Hijack Pro, you can set the software to run a Workflow automator script so given that? Well I can't see why one couldn't be written to apply an effect or effects to a file after the recording or whenever? I'll look into that.

A tip for those using Apple Mail
Hi! A little tip for those of us who use Apple Mail, that's probably 99% of us though I did use Thunderbird a little earlier on the Windows machine to send a few emails . Wondering on the progress of the sending of your email? This information may be of particular interest if you're sending a whole bunch of email or sending a whole heap of email with attachments as files. Well press command-0, this brings up the "Activity Monitor" which is a scroll area as Voiceover terms it, interact with this and you can see a percentage of the progress of the activity whether you're send or receiving. ****** Dane Trethowan From Melton Victoria Australia mailto:"grtd...@internode.on.net Twitter: http://twitter.com/grtdane blog: http://www.grtdane.wordpress.com Phone United Kingdom 02032874641 Phone Australia 0390058589 Phone United States 8159261869 Fax: +61 3 9743 7954x MSN grtd...@dane-trethowan.net skype:grtdane12 ** --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Media players on Mac OS X
Some things I particularly like about VLC, its audio and video quality are better than Itunes and Quicktime, they both use the same decoders I believe. VLC handles .m3u playlists better than Itunes does and this could be important if you're running a network of Windows and Mac machines as I do, I had ripped many of my CD'S into .mp3 format, each CD having a .m3u playlist associated with it, yep I can import these into Itunes now and some I've already done that with but it was just nice to be able to run VLC from the Mac and pull whatever .m3u playlist from the network I wanted to play. VLC also handles "Nested Playlists", suppose you have a talking book of 18 CD'S with each CD in its own folder, you can set a playlist to reference each track in each folder, only thing you have to remember to do is to modify the backslash character - if the playlist was created in Windows - to a slash character for use with the Mac, the slashes and backslashes determine the path of the files obviously and that's nothing that Text Edit can't handle with a simple find and replace.

Re: Media players on Mac OS X
No, its a third party tool to handle Windows Media, last I read on Microsoft's site, they weren't even developing their media format for the Mac and they were redirecting people to the Flip For Mac site, another good way to locate Flip For Mac is to go into your Apple Menu and select OS10 Software I think its called, you'll be taken to the "Apple Downloads" page and you'll find a link to it there.

Re: checking voice mail with skype
Okay, go into Skype and hold down the command key and press the number 4 on your keyboard number row of keys, this brings up the Skype History menu. Using the vo-left and vo-right arrows, navigate till you come to the table, this shows the history of Skype up to the present unless you've deleted anything , interact with this. Navigate through the table, if you have the latest version of Skype installed on your system, Voiceover will read out the status for each event as you move through the table, example "Voicemail" and the date, time, duration, who the Voicemail was from and so forth will be read, you can also navigate the table by column if you prefer. When you've found your voicemail, hold down vo-shift and press "M" to enter the "Context menu", use the down and up arrow keys to navigate through the menu till you come to listen and press return. The Voicemail will begin playing through the output device youv'e set in Skype's "Audio preferences". Hope this helps. On 24/08/2009, at 11:56 AM, Daniel Crone wrote: > > Hello.

Re: checking voice mail with skype
Hmm, interesting. I usually let the voicemail play and let it hang up automatically and then I use the delete key to remove it from the History table before using command-w to close the history table assuming I have no more voicemail to listen to, missed calls to return or whatever .

Re: Battery Status
This is the way I do it, hold down the control key and press F8, the status menu will now have focus with the vo-left and right keys, navigate till you hear "battery" and then arrow down, you'll then hear the battery status, you can choose either remaining time or a percentage of remaining charge. Conversely if your Macbook Pro is connected to AC power, the status indicator displays how much time is remaining until the battery is fully charged or a percentage of charge in the battery, if the battery is fully charged then the status bar will indicate this.

Re: mac mini mic jack
Right, well before I go any further, I've just changed the subject line as the Mac Mini - nor any other modern day Mac - does not have a microphone jack . You're dealing with 2 different beasts here actually, setting Skype up for the PC is somewhat different than setting it up for the Mac and I won't go into the differences here but I do agree, if you can set it up with the PC then ou'll have no trouble whatever in setting it for the Mac, how many sound devices or whatever you have isn't particularly important when it comes to the Mac, all you need to remember is to set your Skype input and output correctly to what you want. I'm not going to enter into the argument as to what you should or shouldn't have to buy, I've never liked those microphones that plug directly into a Sound Card anyway but that's only my opinion and I've only seen cheap one's , one thing to be said for a USB Headset is that it works on every computer with just about every operating system, that's the case with my Logitech Headset and my Logitech desktop microphone so for that reason alone, I reckon they're excellent buys.

Re: soft phones on the mac
Yes! I was recommended a product called Express Talk at http://www.nch.com.au/talk/be.html and its very accessible, well at least the Mac version is. There are 2 versions available, the "Free" version however will only allow you one VOIP provider and to set it once for your audio input, output and so on. The "Paid" version at $50.00 gives you heaps of features including multiple lines, the ability to record from those lines and so on, this is a piece of software I intend to register shortly.

Re: has anyone tried neooffice with vo?
As I Understood it, Neooffice was the new name given the project, it was Open Office and before that it was Star Office .

Re: Mac Box Set
Howdy! I use Pages here all the time, wonderful thing.

Re: Mac Box Set
The biggest challenge I've come up against with Pages thus far is the Auto correct which announces - or is supposed to announce with Voiceover - miss-spelt words as you type, that doesn't work but again, I believe this is fixed under Snow Leopard. I've used Footnotes and endnotes but have not needed to use tables. I've used different fonts, different allignments and so on but haven't got the hang of how you're supposed to do bullets and numbering yet but I'll get there , still a bargain though.

Re: iworks vs neoofficeRe: has anyone tried neooffice with vo?
I don't call Iwork expensive, I think it was $88.00 or something like that when I purchased it earlier on this year, given that Microsoft Office is about $300.00 here and isn't accessible one bit then I think Iwork 9 goes into my "Bargain" basket, that's where most Mac applications belong by the way . As for the question of what's better? Well, depends on your personal taste thus far as far as I can tell, i have a fondness for both and both do things very differently from each other at times. If you're familiar with Microsoft Word for example then what Neooffice presents you will look very similar whereas Pages looks somewhat different though its easy to get used to. Both product have some accessibility problems at the time of writing, at least with Neooffice we stand a good chance of having these problems addressed given that the software is "Open Source", the more problems the team know about then the better the chances of getting them fixed .

Re: flac files on the mac
Another thing that VLC has going for it is its audio and video decoder set, blasts Itunes out of the water completely and by the way, for those who thought this topic was addressed last week? Wrong! we were talking of audio encoders - those things which encode audio from one format to another - and not decoders - them things that decode the audio so you can hear it .

System Profiler, something I wasn't aware of
Hi! I'm sure most of you are aware of the System Profiler in your "Apple" Menu? This utility displays a profile of your Mac I've just had to use it to check on something and I thought I'd do some further exploration and I was well rewarded. For example, did you know that you can save your System profile to a file? Very handy to email the tech should you have to or send to someone, you can save in multiple formats including XML, RTF and TXT. ****** Dane Trethowan From Melton Victoria Australia mailto:"grtd...@internode.on.net Twitter: http://twitter.com/grtdane blog: http://www.grtdane.wordpress.com Phone United Kingdom 02032874641 Phone Australia 0390058589 Phone United States 8159261869 Fax: +61 3 9743 7954x MSN grtd...@dane-trethowan.net skype:grtdane12 ** --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Amadeus Pro: Marking
Hi! Okay I'm a bit behind on my mail here. A few days ago a list member was asking questions about marking with Amadeus Pro? Well here's something which should put their mind at ease, pressing "m" during record, playback or stop mode will place a marker at the insertion point, you can use option-left or option-right arrow to move between your markers. You can go into the "markers" window to make fine adjustments to the positions of your markers, name them and so on. you can use the "Auto Generate Markers" option in the "Selection" menu to have Amadeus Pro auto generate markers on specific criteria, silent gaps for example. Hope this helps. ** Dane Trethowan From Melton Victoria Australia mailto:"grtd...@internode.on.net Twitter: http://twitter.com/grtdane blog: http://www.grtdane.wordpress.com Phone United Kingdom 02032874641 Phone Australia 0390058589 Phone United States 8159261869 Fax: +61 3 9743 7954x MSN grtd...@dane-trethowan.net skype:grtdane12 ** --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Us option-left and right arrows to move your insertion point between them, use command-left and right arrows to extend selection from current marker to previous or next marker.

Re: Anti-virus on the Mac
Okay, I'm using Protect Mac Anti Virus which is also an Anti Spyware- Anti Malware application, its extremely accessible and you only see it when it needs to scan something or give you a warning of some description, cases where you may see a "Protect Mac" window pop up are when you insert a DVD or plug in your Ipod for obvious reasons . http://www.protectmac.com How good is the software? Well quite frankly I just hope it does the job and I really don't want to find out how good it is but I'm sure if you use Google you'll find reviews of all sorts of Anti Virus packages for the Mac, this one is frequently updated and Protect Mac is quite cheap at $45.00, you can download a 30 day trial version.

Re: text-files and openoffice?
Okay, I've just tried this here and no problem whatever. Remember a few differences exist in the way Open Office does things, each paragraph is contained within its own edit box so you're probably better off navigating with the vo-left and right keys. Some of the navigation commands are different - and in my opinion far better -, for example to get to the start of a document use command- home and to get to the end use command-end, use shift in conjunction to highlight.

Re: Anti-virus on the Mac
The things that attract me to Protect Mac - apart from the issue of accessibility - is the fact that you can get a free 30 day trial without having to give away your chronilogical history to anyone and then on top of that, give 500 reasons why you dare to ask for a trial of the product in the first place , that's exactly what happened when I went to 3 sites for Mac Anti Virus products. Norton Anti virus is out of the question, for one thing they don't have a trial version and for another the product is way over priced in my view, $75.00 and I refuse to pay that for something I can't try. I believe other company's have Mac Anti virus products in beta, one such company is Trend Micro. Then comes the other question, are these products just anti virus scanners or are they anti virus scanners plus malware scanners and spyware detectors? Protect Mac does it all!

A problem With Pages
Hi! I'm a fan of Pages but I'm coming up against a problem with the Insert Date command and I thought I had it sorted but can't remember what I did. I have a "shopping list" document here and I want the date field to auto update every time the document is worked on. The Pages Help says to ctrl-click on the field and fill out the properties of the date field, that is tell Pages if you want the field to auto=update every time the document is opened, what format you want the field to be and so on. As I say, I managed to set the properties in the header, that updates itself fine and says Tuesday, 1 September 2009 however the date field in the body of the document is saying Sunday, 30 August 2009 and I can't seem to move the mouse to the date field using vo-command-f5, anyone got any additional ideas on this? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: eBay to sell skype to private investors
If that's correct then that will be nice, the big problem with skype at the moment is that you can only use a Skype client to communicate with a Skype client or a Skype client to communicate with others via the PSTN, mobile networks and so for whereas you can get any one of a million VOIP services and use a whole bunch of software - titles such as Express Talk - to use that VOIP service from your computer. Skype cordless phones - in the main - aren't compatible with VOIP because Skype uses its own protocol so that's where Skype may face some difficult competition in the future unless the people address these issues.

Purchasing Express Talk
Hi everyone! A couple of weeks ago we discussed software which could turn your computer into a fully functional VOIP system, a friend of mine recommended Express Talk, its very accessible with the Mac, I liked the very limited free trial and now I've decided to purchase the software. I'm very glad I held off, if you purchase with your credit card before 15 September you can get it for under $35.00 U.S., its about $58.00 usually. ****** Dane Trethowan From Melton Victoria Australia mailto:"grtd...@internode.on.net Twitter: http://twitter.com/grtdane blog: http://www.grtdane.wordpress.com Phone United Kingdom 02032874641 Phone Australia 0390058589 Phone United States 8159261869 Fax: +61 3 9743 7954x MSN grtd...@dane-trethowan.net skype:grtdane12 ** --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Where to save Automator Workflows
Hi! Where does one save Automator Workflows? I've created an automator workflow which - when run - takes a selected file and attaches it to a new message in Mail which you fill out the fields of, say "To", "Subject" and so on but I can't run it from the "Automator" option which appears in the "Context" menu when a file is selected so I'm assuming that I'm not saving my workflow in the correct location. When I go to "Save" my workflow from the Automator, the default location seems to be my documents folder which doesn't sound right to me, any comments?"Get Selected File" option in my workflow, then I have the "NEw Email Message" and then "Get Attachment From" option, is this correct? Now as to my workflow? Well I think I've done this right, I have the " ** Dane Trethowan From Melton Victoria Australia mailto:"grtd...@internode.on.net Twitter: http://twitter.com/grtdane blog: http://www.grtdane.wordpress.com Phone United Kingdom 02032874641 Phone Australia 0390058589 Phone United States 8159261869 Fax: +61 3 9743 7954x MSN grtd...@dane-trethowan.net skype:grtdane12 ** --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: About mac and airport express.
Airport Express is totally usable with Snow Leopard, I'm not using Snow Leopard just yet but Airport Express is not dependent on Snow leopard so how do you use them? By selecting "Remote Speakers" from Itunes. Airport Express has an audio output on it which plugs into your stereo unit or whatever, you can also connect multiple computers to it wirelessly. As for the other solution mentioned in another message? That's software and no help whatever if you wish to stream your music directly to a stereo device rather than another computer. I'm behind on my email but I'm sure you'll hear a lot more about this as there are I know quite a few users of Airport Express on this list.

Re: Word processing on Mac OS X
I use a combination of Open office and Pages - the latter is very nice indeed I'm told under Snow Leopard though I haven't had the chance to try that for myself yet -. Another word processing package -available on its own - which is super! to use is Nisus Writer Pro, very accessible and packed with all sorts of Word Processing and desktop publishing features. If you want to go down the "Free Road" try Bean which does one hell of a lot considering its free. James & Nash wrote: > Hi folks, > > What are folks on the list using for Word Processing please?

Re: Word processing on Mac OS X
I look forward to trying it , bought that excellent little package nearly 3 years ago and haven't looked back, I really should give the software a "run" and see if its been updated and improved since I last used it, one of the features I liked in that software was the ability to write HTML coding, see the document as it would appear and view the actual coding.

Re: Word processing on Mac OS X
You expect me to summaries the features of Pages in one email message? We'll be here all night , what I've discovered so far is some very excellent auto-correct features, we've discussed the "Auto Numbering and Auto-bulleting" functionality of Pages but that's just the start, just play about with the menu system and you'll soon see what I mean, look in the help file which can be accessed with command- shift-? and download the manual.
