Re: a few more questions about the Mac
Hello Scott, If you hold the power button for 4 seconds the popup box to shutdown or restart popup. If you want VO commands press VO which is ctrl, options, and h twice quickly. that is the list of VO commands, if you press VO h once that is a list of other helpful VO tips. As a Mac user I have a MacbookPro, I rarely shut down my Mac. Mac runs more stable than Windows usually is due to better drivers. Daniel Hawkins - Posted from my Macbook Pro 2012 15in.

Free accessable rss reader on the Mac.
hello Listers, I have NewsIsy on my iPhone and I’m am using Feedly. However, I want to use the Mac to also read up my RSS feeds. So does anyone know any free accessable RSS readers on the Mac? I know CueFeed is accessable but last I checked it costs $30. Also, on Safari, there is a button, “add to reading list” does anyone know what that does? That is not the same as a Rss reader? Thanks!

Re: Splitting keyboard on an iPad
I don’t know a command, but if you do a pinch out on the keyboard, it will split. Sorta like taking your fingers and spreading it apart, like sighted people do to zooom in.

Re: saving files in different formats and also how to move them from one location to another under mavericks
Hello April, If you made a Pages doc, and want to save it to MS Word, you will have to export it to MS Office. Lasttime I checked the export dialouge in Pages and Numbers was not accessable by VO with the new iWork. So what I did was open it up in my iPhone and export there on the iCloud.

Just an idea, have a HDMI cord hooked up to the iPad so she can see it on the bigger tv if she have one. So she can learn the layout, as she slowly learn Voiceover.

Re: a simple, but important iphone question?
Yes, you can, depends how fast you at flicking left or right, or finding the dial numbers. Yes, it is slightly slower than what a sighted person can do. If you are dialing a number and you know you will have to press 1 for english, press 4 for your next option. You can save it to your contacts with a comma or two for a few second delay and add the menu number. Say for example put the number 8004561234,1,4 and that will choose the menu options automatically for you, and you don’t have to do anything. This is how I save my bus scheduling number. I just put my bus number and put a comma then what ever menu option that you know you wanted. And you can do this with banks with your account number.

Re: Splitting keyboard on an iPad
LOL, If you look at Amazon, you can get a HDMI adapter and a HDMI 15 foot cord both for around $15 bucks. Google Chromecast only play what’s in the webbrowser, not everything on the screen. I did see somewhere that there is an adapter that is wireless that is $99 and should play everything on the screen. But I forgot what it was. Daniel Hawkins - Posted from my Macbook Pro 2012 15in.

Re: saving files in different formats and also how to move them from one location to another under mavericks
Hmmm. I just created anew Pages document, sent it to and from Gmail via one of my non-GMail accounts and it worked every time. I looked in Mail Prefs and couldn’t see anything that to do with attachments that could be messing with this. Now, I attach files by pressing cmd-shift-a which brings up the dialog, are you using the same method or are you dragging it from somewhere into the body of the message?

Re: Unreal VoiceOver very choppy again
Hello, sorry I was not clear enough. I Work updated, and that what I did lastnight. To the other Daniel, I have a Macbook Pro with a spinning Harddrive, and I always get that stutter at startup. My wife have a Macbook Air, and she does not get that stutter. I even changed her “Welcome to Voiceover” to I’m Hal 9000, and I’m taking over the world.” Her Mac sounds well at startup, but mine always botches it up at startup. But I have a hunch that I have three apps at startups, so I think that may do it too.

Re: Keyboard Focus / Voice Over Cursor / Mouse Pointer
Lee, I too am slightly confused about this, especially using the Mouse cusor. >From my understanding they Keyboard cursor is what you use to move around the >screen with the keyboard. The VO cursor by default is already with the >keyboard cursor. If the VO cursor moves, it will announce what it is. So in a way for a sighted person, if you use a mouse you see the arrow, and move it around, it don't select anything. But if you have the VO cursor snapped to the mouse it will announce anything the mouse pointer moves over. That is same as keyboard cursor. So if you tell the VO cursor to stay there, you will not hear anything when you navigate throughout the screen. For example if you are doing instant messageing. You can snap the VO cursor to the last message. Then you type you can type without the VO moving, so in that way you can get an ongoing conversation instead of having to press VO j to jump back n forth. As for the mouse cursor, I have not yet seen the advantage of it yet. So hopefully someone can comment on that.

Re: Mail's Preview Pane Must Go
Ahh I understand, yeah I get that sometimes too! I usually read my messages by date first. then if there are any unread I have not gotten yet, then I change the listing to unread and read the rest that way. So it may not get it in order all the time but that how I get them all read.

Re: audio and voiceover
I have a Macbook Pro. I also want to use my Mac internal speakers as a music, while I use VO thru my headphone jack. By default the Main System sound go thru the headphone jack if it is plugged in. From what I understand you need a third party app to change the default output. Does anyone know what that is? Thanks!

I for one use quicknav to navigate thru mail. when I go to the message I want I hit enter then press the right arrow once, that will start reading the message. then deinteract and go down or up to read the next message on that thread and interact it then deinteract. that is my method to bypass the whole who is the sender title time and embedded embedded.

Accessable Keyboard Tutorial?
hello everyone! As part of my goal to to train others how to use the Mac, one thing my future job would do is also teach new users how to learn how to keyboard. So my question is, do you guy know a simple free app for the Mac that can teach you how to keyboard? I already tried to check out Appleton and I have not found anything. Thanks!

Re: Accessable Keyboard Tutorial?

But if a new student want to learn how to use the computer but have no idea how to propertly use the keyboard, that's where a keyboard typing tutor comes in.

booting up from a CD
Hello everyone! I have been reading up on Linux accessabilty and want to give Vinux a shot by running off a bootable CD. So far I figured how to burn an ISO file to a cd, so I hope it is good. But my question is, is the Macbook Pro set by default to first boot from the Optical drive before the HDD? If not, is it accessable to change that? Any info on this would be very very helpful, thanks! Daniel Hawkins - Posted from my Macbook Pro iPhone 4S, 16GB, Jailbroken IOS 7.0.4 iPad 2nd Gen, 32gb iPhone 3gs 8gb, as media player 2012 15in.

Box Sync bogs down menu extras.
Hello everyone! Recently about a month ago I have installed a cloud storage service called Box Sync, I took advantage of their offer of 50 gb. At the time I have installed it, it was very accessable. But lately for the past two weeks I have noticed that my menu extras is very very slow, it would take me 5 min to just check the battery. I narrowed it down to Box. Once I quit the app, menu extras runs just fine. I was wondering if anyone have tried this and have the same problem? Thanks!

Re: booting up from a CD
Hello everyone, Ok, I tried the Disk Utility and I can see the Mac HD drive and Bootcamp, but not the bootable cd. So I tried the cd on another Windows PC and it worked. So I went back to my Mac, and tried holding C when I restart. Something happens but the screen is dark, I think since I don't see light. I acually let my Mac sit for 15min, just give it time to load. But nothing happens. So I tried thehard shutdown and restart holding C, still the same thing. SI can hear the DVD drive spool up and spin for a min then it dies down. Do you guys know of another option? I hear that you can hold the Options key at startup, but I don't know how many times you press the right arrow. Any info on this would be very much appreciated.

Re: booting up from a CD
Ok, the Vinux cd is bootable. I can do this on a different computer that have CD drive first to boot before the Harddrive. Also in Disk Utility there is nothing about a disk other than the Mactintosh HD and Bootcamp. So, I am stumped here, I was thinking about holding the Options key at startup, but I have Bootcamp with Windows 7 already installed. I know there are three options to choose from other than the Super drive. The thing is which option is the CD drive? Have anyone else successfuly booted a Linux cd on a Macbook Pro?

Re: booting up from a CD
Hello, I completely understand you. Under the Startup menu I don't see the bootable cd, but yet that cd does work on a Windows PC, so I know the cd is bootable. I have seen the guide how to make a bootable flashdrive, but I am not sure the program that you are to use on the Mac is accessable, and it involves command line use. That is over my head lol. But now, when I try to boot from the cd, by pressing C, there issomething on the screen if I turn off the lights, but nothing happens. Vinux should start talking when it starts up, so now I think the bootable cd is now working, I just need to find a sighted person. Thanks!

Re: switching back to windows.
I agree with everyone here. I feel right now my Mac is more productive. Why? When I lost my vision, I just went to the Mac first. I am now learning how to use Windows 7 with NVDA. But I know my Mac so I feel the Mac is better, and that is just due to I know and what to expect. But, from what I see from everyone, there are things you can do on a Mac, or Windows, or even on a Linux, that you can't do for others. So each to his own. As a future adaptive technology trainer, I am trying to learn all platforms and have an open mind. But, I do have to admit, I am kinda loyal to Apple, lol. But, I do agree with the blogs ideas how the Mac is frustrating. A lot of things he stated, I have found a workaround, and I am quite happy with this setup. So having VM Fusion, with Windows, and Linux would be the most productive of all.

Re: booting up from a CD
Chris, You may have brought up something. I have been seeing something about EFI, but did not know what that means. Now the million dollar question, where can I find a EFI Vinux? lol. I may just have Vinux boot up on my Windows machine and use the Startup program to make a bootable USB. Thanks!

Re: booting up from a CD
Chris, Ok, I did some research, I could not find a compatiable Vinux with EFI support. But I did find the Mac-Linux usb loader, it is here http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-boot-a-linux-live-usb-stick-on-your-mac/ that’s how you use it. So far I just tried the app, and it looks completely accessable. Hooray!, now off to finding a supported Vinux. Btw, is there another way to boot from a usb instead of hitting Options at startup?

Re: a quick question about the bard mobile ap
I too am courious about that too. But as far I can tell, it is copy protected, so that option is not there. I tried to do research on that since I liked to listen books thru iTunes instead of the BARD Mobil app. The only downside of BARD Mobil apps is that you can't lock the screen, so putting your iPhone in your pocket is out of the question.

Re: a quick question about the bard mobile ap
Thank you so much for that tip! Does that really work? Is it still copy protected? I just tried that and the documents area is blank. Also my Free Ringtones app is blank too. So something is going on. But I do understand the method to do. Just find the file in BARD Mobil and drag n Drop it to the desktop. Thanks!

Re: Running Windows on Mac, on a budget
Yes, that is why Apple have the App called Bootcamp. When you go to Bootcamp and start the process, it will require a usb drive to download the latest drivers. Also, keep in mind, many sighted people use Options to pick which operating system to boot from, but with Bootcamp you can go to Preferences then to Startup, and say restart in Bootcamp. Then in the Windows side, in the system try, there is a bootcamp icon there, click that and click restart in OSX. Pretty nifty.

Re: Running Windows on Mac, on a budget
There was a write up about this. It pretty much count the times you hit enter and left and right arrows. But if you forget a step, you will get stuck. Technically to answer your question, installing Windows is not accessable. You can do Bootcamp untill you hit the Install Button. After that it is sighted required. Unless you are brave enough to follow exact directions and try it out.

Hmm interesting. I gotta play around with Dashboard. Did you get OBT2 working on Libre? Libre works fine for me but I can't seem to get the extention to install. Something you have to do to Java.

Re: Libre Office suite question
April, Good news! As of last year in July Libre is now accessable with Voiceover, but OpenOffice is not. Just make sure you get the latest update. I think it is 4.1 but not sure. As to how to install Libre, when you open the dmg file in downloads, drag n drop or copy n paste the Libre application file to your Application folder. Now click on that file, for the firsttime, it will give you a warning that you just downloaded it, do you want to open it. If it said Open click that. If it say OK, then you will need to do a VO, shift, M to do a right click feature, then click Open. After that the popup will not happen again. If you are having problems again, just let me know, and I can try "reinstall" Libre again, and type the step by step again. Thanks!

Re: Sending Mail from wrong account
Same here, And the update did not work. I ended up going to internet accounts under Preference and deleteing all my email accounts and re logging it in. That fixed the problem. It was so bad that when I hit reply to this list and make sure the correct email is selected and signature, then I would get a Mail delivery failure on a different email. Went for like this for a week. I even subscribed under a wrong email to a different list! It was a big pot of stinky poo. But after I tried everything and gave up and just deleted all my email accounts and re logged in. Fixed it!

Re: Sending Mail from wrong account
yes, Before I could hit reply and it will say the correct email I want from the From dropdown box, but once sent it will be sent from a different account. I had a total of 6 email accounts. two of them I could not send email due to the fact they acually send from a different account even I told it the email I acually wanted. So if you just reset the email and relogin again, that will fix the problem. On the other hand, if anyone brave enough and go to the library folder and delete that that may help, but not sure.

Re: Status Menus always busy?
Same here. I got the 50 GB one. For a while the IOS Box Sync app was accessable. But to get the 50 GB storage I had to upgrade. Check out Mediafire, it is the only other one that is accessable than Dropbox and Google Drive.

arraingeing Files or folders on the Mac
Hello everyone! I have just one question. I once heard there is a way to arrainge the files you want in the order you want. For example I am trying to collect a book series, but the files are not in order, how would I move the files around? Also, is there a way to move the files in Finder Sidebar up or down? Thanks!

Re: voiceover no longer reads slide contents when not in presentation mode?
Have you tried to make a new presentation? There may be a possabilty that the file is currupt or it is just not there anymore. So making a new presention and if it works, then you will know something is up with the file or settings of the one you are having problems with.

Re: voiceover no longer reads slide contents when not in presentation mode?
Jessica, The reason I asked to start a new file is to see if the problem persit. We are just trying to troubleshoot here. If the problem continune if you made a new file then we need to look into what's wrong with that. But if the problem is just the file then we need to see what's wrong with that.

Re: Improvement with Adobe Flash 13 installer
Successfully installed mine! I was a bit confused a bit since I had a popup for a update, that was not accessable. Just do a google search for Adobe Flash 13 and you will be directed to a site, there you pick what operating system and then click download. Then you go to Finder and go to downloads, you will find Adobe Flash there. open that and follow the directions. You will need to quit Safari to let the install complete.

Keynote Aglore!
Hello everyone! Ok, I have been trying to learn how to make my own keynote slides. So far I am getting the hang of it somewhat. But one of the biggest problem my friends told me that the Body area is very very small print. I know how to make larger print by cmd+, but they explained to me the square where the print is in is very small. What I want to do is have a title and in the middle of the slide to have some lists. I was wondering how do you make it bigger? Thanks! Daniel Hawkins - Posted from my Macbook Pro -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Dual booting on a Mac.
Hello everyone, This is my first post. My name is Daniel Hawkins, I have been completely blind for just over a year now. I just got my Macbook Pro last May. I have been slowly learning on how to use the Mac interface and Voiceover. Since my goal is to be an accessabilty trainer, I need to learn everything about technology for the blind. So what I want to do is dual boot or triple boot on my Macbook. From what I understand, Bootcamp does only one extra OS. So I was told to use rEFINd, to make multiple partitions. however I think learning rEFINd is a little over my head and I don’t know if it is accessible. So my question is, do you guys know a way to dual boot to Windows 7 and or 8, and maybe a Linux or two? If anyone know an accessible way, or a link that can explain that, I’d very very much appreciate that. Thanks! Daniel Hawkins - Posted from my Macbook Pro 2012 15in.

Re: VM Fusion and Window-Eyes
Cool! I just had help Installing Windows 7 on my Mac yesterday and I have NVDA installed. Since I’m really new to accessabilty, did you needed help installing Windows 7? Also do you know how to get more than two OS on a Mac? I heard that Bootcamp won’t allow you to have more than two. Thanks! Daniel Hawkins - Posted from my Macbook Pro 2012 15in.

Re: virtualization solutions
Really?! Lately what I heard the virtual apps were not accessible. That’s why I did a Dualboot to Windows 7 on my Mac. I guess I’m going to look up Fusion. Is Parallel accessible too? My goal is to have Windows 7, and Windows 8.1 and a Linux or two. Does anyone have a link about everything about accessabilty for these virtual app? Thanks!

How to Convert Daisy books
Hello Listers, Since I listen to my Talking Book a lot, I been wanting to put it on a iPod shuffle. I have a Macbook and have been doing research on Daisy Talking Book and found Orearia for the Mac so I can listen on the Mac. however I can’t seem to figure out how to load a book on. Now for converting DTB to mp3 or to iTunes, I found DTB to iTunes. However after spending three days trying to figure out how to load a book, I found out that you first need to decrypt the file using DTBmaker. Now I found the link for that, but the website is not there. Does anyone know a way to upload Talking Books to a non IOS device. Yes I know about BARD Mobil, and I’m am tired of hearing you got a message or touching the screen since it can’t go into lock screen. Any info on this I will find very very helpful. Thanks!

Re: virtualization solutions
Chris, Thanks for that info. I was told when I got my Mac that Virtual box was not access able, so that why I used Bootcamp to dual boot. But thanks for pointing out that Fusion is fully accessible. So maybe later on I will try that out wen I want to learn Windows 8. Does anyone know how to install Windows on their own if you are completely blind? I take it installation is same when you use a virtual box? Daniel Hawkins - Posted from my Macbook Pro 2012 15in.

Re: How to Convert Daisy books
David, Shucks, thought I’d ask. There is an app called DTB to iTunes, and under the help info they said you can decrypt it by using DTBmaker, so I was wondering if anyone knows about it. Guess I will just use my old 3gs as a decimated player. Thanks! Daniel Hawkins - Posted from my Macbook Pro 2012 15in.

Embossing from a Mac..
Hello everyone, Once again, I have another question for here. Long story short my sister have been blind for years and I just recently lost my vision. However I jumped to a Mac right away, but my sister is transiting from Windows XP to Mac. One problem she had was learning Duxbury, there was none here to teach her. So I did research allay, and I found out that you can print braille using Openoffice or libreOffice. With a odt2 extension. Now here is a kicker, Appentenly LibreOffice and OpenOffice is not accessible on a Mac, only on Snow Lepord. And now with Maverick, those two apps won’t run at all. So, does anyone have a solution to emboss from a Mac? Or is the only solution is to still run Windows? Thanks! Daniel Hawkins - Posted from my Macbook Pro 2012 15in.
