Questions regarding using the Apple keyboard with the IPhone

[David Eagle]

Hello all, I am using the Apple Keyboard with the IPHone 4s and it
works very well. There are however a few things I am unsure about.
Firstly, selecting text: I used someone's IPad with an apple keyboard
and selecting text was the same as with the Mac; you pressed VO enter,
then selected your text and then VO enter again. This does not seem to
work on the IPhone. Any ideas how to easily select a block of text
using the Apple Keyboard on the IPHone?

Secondly, I can't work out how to do a spell check. I am informed when
a word is misspelt but I cannot find a list of corrections. This is
the situation whether I am in a text or pages. Any ideas on that one?

Thirdly and finally, I don't know how to do the equivolent of a double
tap and hold. I can do a double tap but not double tap and hold on the
second tap using the keyboard. Any ideas regarding that?

Thank you friends.

Re: wordpress pages question

[David Eagle]

Hi, I use Wordpress and have multiple pages on my website.

I would have told you yesterday that I have found the latest version
inaccessible, but I discovered the issue and so can now report that I
am finding using Wordpress, with JAWS, SATOGO, NVDA on windows, and
Voice-Over on the Mac and IPhone, very accessible.

I haven't quite managed to get subpages working yet. For instance,
when you click on a page you get a new set of links on that page. But
I have managed to create multiple pages and add nearly 100 blog posts.

I am happy to help, and Wordpress are keen to hear from people using
screen readers about accessibility.

Re: ftp

[David Eagle]

FileZilla - The free FTP solution.
http://filezilla-project.org

I don't know how accessible it is on the Mac. it is fully accessible
in windows. I tried it once on the Mac and ended up just going back to
windows and doing what I needed to do. But I was in a hurry and didn't
have the time to work out how to access it on the Mac.

Let us know how you get on.

Re: Mountain Lion Is Awesome!

[David Eagle]

The problem with Nuance voices seems to be a lot better in Mountain
Lion. When you press backspace to delete something it talks lower,,
but I think this must be intentional. I've also found the Mac to be
working a lot better since upgrading to Mountain Lion. I've never had
a safari busy message since upgrading.

 Hey guys. I was thinking of using the Siri dictation feature to write
 this message, but after trying to send a message to Kimsan and seeing
 that it entered something that I didn't say, I figured I'd write this
 myself. So with that being said, I must say that Apple did a freaking
 awesome job with Mountain Lion. My favorite features so far have been
 the Siri dictation, even though it hears what it wants to hear
 sometimes, the ability to update more than one App in the App store, and
 yes, the ability to use some third party Apps that weren't accessible to
 us in the past. Now I can use Menuweather, the app that I complained
 that wasn't accessible a few months ago, and change whatever settings I
 need. Also, for Infovox Ivox 3 users, your voices will continue to work.
 You don't need to download any patches or anything.
 I did notice a couple of bugs though. The first one is something that
 this list has talked about when Lion first launched, and that is the
 booting up time. For me, when I came home from work and booted up my
 machine, I pretty much had to wait for about 2-3 minutes before
 Voiceover started talking. Also, in both Lion and Snow Leopard, both
 Adium and Skype launched right away after startup. In Mountain Lion, It
 takes a minute for both apps to launch. These aren't deal breakers
 though, just minor hinderances. As for the Nuance voices, I'm not gonna
 even bother using them with Voiceover if they're still making those
 stupid pitch changes. Why would I if I have Tracy from Acapela?
 Anyway, all in all, this is a fantastic upgrade, better than Lion in my
 opinion. I hope you all have fun with Mountain Lion, as I sure am.

Re: Very Disappointed with Mountain Lion

For me, mountain Lion is much faster, and much more reliable; says me
who's writing this email on a PC.

Incidentaly, someone said that selecting text is easier now in
Mountain Lion. I have a very hard time selecting text in Safari. How
do people do it? What happens when you want to select a few
paragraphs?

And Finally, Brandon: what to you use on the Mac for programming? I am
trying to find a simple programme like Notepad on the Mac so that I
can write HTML and XML files.

Re: Very Disappointed with Mountain Lion

[David Eagle]

pressing shift and the arrow keys does absolutely nothing, and it
never has for me. And Text Edit is too convoluted for what I want it
to do. If I want to to just copy the text in a webpage in windows,
then I will just select what I want and then paste it into notepad. If
I do this in Text Edit then it inserts all the formatting of the page
including links, making it impossible to just save as a text file.
Also, when you choose View Source for a website in windows, it is
accessible, but seemingly this is not the case on a Mac. This is one
of the reasons I don't think I'll ever fully use a Mac.

I am currently struggling to download a file, because when I VO Space
on it, it opens the MP3 file and starts playing it. If I VO Shift and
M, then it doesn't give me a download option; it only gives me options
like 'print page'. And to think I was being  complimentary about the
mac earlier. Then again I was on a PC at the time.

Right I'm off to try and find out the keyboard shortcut for forcing
errant Macs to download a file.

Re: Very Disappointed with Mountain Lion

[David Eagle]

Hi, thanks for that. I've now turned quicknav off but when I use shift
and  down, or Shift Option left or right, nothing happens. It does
work if I interact with the text, but then what if I want to select a
few paragraphs? I tried selecting a line of your reply, and it
wouldn't do it. Also, I don't mind the file opening rather than
downloading when I VO Space, but I do mind the fact that it then
refuses to select the options for a link when I press VO Shift M, and
instead brings the menu up for the page. I think that is definitely a
bug, and not a preference.

And finally, I just entered on the Selecting Text option in VO help,
and it opened Safari, and there was no page.

I think I might start a commune for distressed Mac users with Brian (I
think his name was); I can't remember now, I've been mentally worn
down by Mac issues0.

Thanks, I was told about this shortcut before, but I couldn't remember
it. I've checked the help files but I can't see anything about that
shortcut mentioned.

Re: Very Disappointed with Mountain Lion

[David Eagle]

Well thank you very much for all those responses. I will try them
later when I am back on a Mack. I am sure I had all the plain text
options selected in Text Edit but I'll try again and check. I did
spend a few hours getting frustrated with these problems yesterday. I
have a list full of things I aim to get achieved by the end of the day
and nearly everyone of those (including some additional tasks) seemed
impossible to achieve on the Mac. However, I consent that I have been
using Windows a lot longer and so have learnt a lot more on Windows
than a Mac. I'll report on my findings later this evening.

Re: Fleksy

[David Eagle]

Fleksy is brilliant. It should be built into ios. For the first time since 
getting my iPhone, I feel happy about sending lots of text messages and longer 
emails. I can also now text when I am walking or out in busy environments. It 
is so much quicker and takes much less concentration than the standard on 
screen method. 
It cost me e£10. 48 when I bought it from within the app. Well worth it though.

How to delete messages in my mail on my iPhone

[David Eagle]

Hello everyone, I have recently purchased an iPhone and I must say things are 
going very well. I find it all very intuitive, in fact I'm dictating this 
message to Siri so hopefully there are not too many errors. Anyway, one thing 
that I haven't worked out how to do yet is how to delete messages in mail. Any 
ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Re: How to delete messages in my mail on my iPhone

[David Eagle]

Thank you Greg, that was very helpful. And very easy to do. However, there was 
not a delete option but by selecting the move I could then send the message or 
messages to the deleted items folder. Thanks again

Re: Facebook

[David Eagle]

Facebook mobile works fine on my windows computer so for some reason it's to do 
with the using Facebook on the Mac. Very strange.

I've tried contacting face book before and it was very challenging. 


The mobile site was working on my Mac a couple of months ago, but I haven't 
used it since then.

Re: website builders?

[David Eagle]

I use Joomla! at work which is a free open source Content management
system. It should be pretty easy to create a simple website for your
needs using that. I'd be happy to help you out if you want to talk
about it over Skype. We can arrange a time to talk if you want any
help.

Re: ciberduck

[David Eagle]

Hi John, I haven't found the clunky at all. To open the folder you want 
interact with it using Control option shift down arrow and then control option 
space to open the folder. Voice over will announce that the folder is expanded 
you can then stop interacting with it, using control option shift up arrow and 
then down arrow through the files in that folder. The only thing I find a bit 
clunky is that you don't get a list of folders at the top, and then files 
underneath, but this is a standard Mac thing rather than the way cyber duck 
works. I suppose you could probably change the option in view. Hope this helps.

Re: VO and lag on Yosemite

I'm confused. I'm having no problems whatsoever using the new operating system. 
Everything is responsive, and I've noticed no bugs so far. I'm not sure why 
poor Pam is having such a rough time with this update, because everything is 
working flawlessly for me. Sorry to rub it in Pam.

Re: BBC Iplayer and Voiceover

[David Eagle]

I can't see how anyone can access the Iplayer since it relies on Flash
which seems to be undetectable by Voice-Over. I always use my windows
computer for the IPlayer. I contacted the bBC about this and their
email didn't suggest that they would be moving from Flash any time
soon although there are experiments taking place with HTML5 which
works fine with VO.

How on earth do you access the iplayer for radio? That's Flash too and
works exactly the same way as the TV IPlayer, unless there's another
IPlayer link that I'm missing from the usual bbc.co.uk/iplayer

Re: flash why is it such a pain?

[David Eagle]

It should be noted that Flash is accessible on Windows with a
Screenreader. I thought I better mention this because someone inferred
that it wasn't accessible at all with screen readers. In fact, it is
accessible with NVDA screenreader which is free. Lack of Flash
accessibility is one thing that annoys me about the Mac and a big
reason why I still use both Mac and windows.

Re: Spotify not accessible on Snow Leopard

[David Eagle]

I downloaded spotify for the Mac and foudn it completely inaccessible.
It had been a little accessible on windows . But then I tried it on
windows. Spotify updated itself and became completely inaccessible on
windows. I use Napster using the web interface on the Mac which is
more or less accessible, apart from the volume slider which voice-over
doesn't see.

Re: Blogging

[David Eagle]

Hi, I just use wordpress either the website or IPhone app version. I
don't use Marsedit or anything like that. If you know basic html then
it's really easy to quickly do things like add links, headings and
bullets, even images. As for getting followers, Twitter is more the
thing for doing that. Let me know if you've got any specific
questions. I don't use Audio Boo or Goodreads.

FTP

[David Eagle]

Hi everyone, I finally return to my mac after nine months of neglect,
primarily due to my PC breaking.
I am pleasantly surprised to find that I'm really enjoying the experience.
However, I cannot find an FTP solution, and since I work quite a bit with
FTP this is a bit of a blow. Apparently you can use terminal, but I can't
find a place to enter a password. I can find username and host but no
password field. I have selected ftp in the services list. Any help with
terminal for FTP would be very much appreciated. I tried filezilla, which
works brilliantly on the PC and is fully accessible on the PC, but sadly
this is fully inaccessible on the mac.

Thanks.

Re: FTP

[David Eagle]

Thanks everyone, I shall try these suggestions. I have had a little more 
progress in terminal. I have selected FTP from the service browser, type in FTP 
before my domain. And my username. And have now managed to connect, although it 
still does not ask me for a password nor do I get any further instructions 
about how I can actually access the files and folders on the site. Any ideas 
regarding terminal? I shall try these other options also.

Re: FTP

[David Eagle]

Hi, cyber duck seems to work perfectly. Definitely worth a donnish in. By the 
way, the Mac seems to group files and folders together unlike windows which 
puts the folders first. Is there any way of changing this as it can be a little 
irksome. Thanks.

Re: FTP

[David Eagle]

Thanks Georgina. I think I'm going to go with cyber duck for the time being. I 
tried to type the password in terminal but it gave me a login failed 
notification. Nevermind, I'm sure I can work it out if I really need to, but 
Cyberduck seems like the way forward for FTP for me. Combine this with FTP 
Sprite on the iPhone and I am now able to access FTP wherever I am. Thanks for 
all your help.

Re: FTP

[David Eagle]

Well I have had a Mac for two years this month, and this week has been an 
revelation. I think I can do more or less everything I used to do on the 
windows machine. Its taken two years, but I think I am becoming a convert of 
sorts. Thanks for all your help friends.

Garageband

[David Eagle]

Hi everyone, seeing how I'm on such a roll with the mac at the moment, I
thought I'd try Garageband out. I have got ProTools, but I don't have my
ILok with me at the moment so I thought I'd give Garageband a shot to do
some basic editing. But I am completely clueless about what to do? I'm just
trying to edit some audio, but it's proving impossible. I can't even insert
audio into a track. In fact, I can't even find any tracks to insert audio
into. When I try and create a new track, I only have options to create an
instrument track. But I just want a basic audio track. I can locate the
media browser and find files, but then I can't do anything with the file
apart from play it from within the media browser. So I wondered whether
there was an introduction to Garageband with Voice Over podcast out there.
I found a website with some podcasts from Ricardo Walker, but the domain
was no longer available.

Any ideas would be very welcome. Thanks.

Word processor

Hi, what word processors are people using on the mac. I just need something
to allow me to insert headings and hyperlinks. I'm using IAWriter which is
great and allows me to do mark down (although I can't find the number key
on my apple keyboard). What are you all using out there? Thanks.

Re: Word processor

Hi Alex, thanks. Yes, I have heard some bad reports about pages for the Mac. 
Text edit does hyperlinks but does not allow me to insert headings. I shall 
explore options today, as I need to send articles off to publishers and 
currently only have my Mac with me.

Re: Word processor

[David Eagle]

Hi Alex, I've used markdown a bit. I'll have to explore it in a bit more
detail. I do use HTML quite a lot on my website. Anyway, I downloaded Pages
and was able to use it, although I was surprised to find that there were
separate areas for header, body and footer. I assumed that it would just
work like Microsoft Word on Windows where you select the text you want to
make a heading and hen apply a heading to it in the menu or with a keyboard
shortcut. I'm a bit confused as to how the headers thing works in Pages?
Any idea?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for that Anne, OK, I've just managed to access the Styles Drawer,
but everything says dimmed and I can't find headings anywhere. Thanks for
helping. I hadn't realised that a header wasn't a heading. Makes sense now
you explain it.

Re: Word processor

Thanks Anne, that worked great. There only seems to be two heading levels,
but this is fine for me. I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be using
a mac for everything, but it's happening. Thanks again for your help.

Re: it's the little things

The Way to get to the edit field, and away from the keyboard, is to move your 
finger away from the keyboard area, moving it's near the top of the screen. You 
can then flick left or right through the edit fields. Hope this helps.

New IOS and Apple Bluetooth Keyboard

[David Eagle]

Hi, is anyone else finding that with an Apple Bluetooth keyboard, the control 
key no longer shuts voice over up? I just updated the IOS and not being able to 
shut voice over up and start it talking again is driving me mad. 

Thanks.

And where on earth have they put the search box in Safari?

[David Eagle]

Another thing that's changed seems to be that they've got rid of the search box 
in Safari, so does this mean I now have to access Google by going to Google.com 
in the address ifled? Seems a bit of a step backwards.

Ah, ok. That makes sense. So it's like with the Mac. Maybe it should be labeled 
"address and search button" rather than just "address".

Re: New IOS and Apple Bluetooth Keyboard

[David Eagle]

Thanks. I looked for it being mentioned on Google, but I didn't see it 
mentioned on any accessibility websites. 
I've mentioned it to apple accessibility and got the usual response about not 
being able to comment on when it can be resolved. But I suppose this is the 
risk you take when you update to the first release of an operating system. 
Still, at least nothing seems to be massively broken in accessibility. H

Re: spotify accessibility on the mac.

[David Eagle]

Sadly not, at least not for the Mac. It is accessible on iPods, iPads and 
iPhones. Contact them using the links provided on the website and let them know 
about inaccessibility on the Mac. I have done this if you times over the last 
few years, and each time their response has been along the lines of: "we are 
always looking to incorporate new features into our service". But the more 
people message them about this, the more likely we are to get a positive 
result. I am going to respond to their email later today.

Re: spotify accessibility on the mac.

[David Eagle]

The reason the web player doesn't work by the way, is because it uses flash, 
which isn't directly accessible for with voice-over on the Mac. You might be 
able to get some very basic functionality with playing music on Spotify web 
player, if you download flash. This might just let you play a song, but will

Re: CyberDuck FTP Questions

[David Eagle]

I've been using it for the last two years, and have found it to be fully 
accessible. Not sure why you need Java. I don't remember ever needing it to 
run.

 It is now open source. I dont understand why it is so pricey in the app

 But my question is, is this app worth the trouble of installing Java?
 I cant remember if this app was talked about on this list in the past.

Re: spotify or alternative that is VO friendly on ios and possibly mac as well

[David Eagle]

Hi Christina. I use Spotify on IOS. It’s brilliant. Fully accessible.
They recently changed something that might be a bit confusing to new
users. In order to access the options like Playlist and Search, you
have to access the Open side Bar menu. But it is fully accessible. As
for the Mac, the last time I checked, it was completely inaccessible;
I couldn’t even get past the welcome screen, but when someone clicked
off it for me, it was still inaccessible. Give it a try on the Mac,
and then get in touch with Spotify and let them know your thoughts.
I’ve done the same before, but didn’t get a response. I intend to do
the same again. Let’s make them aware that we are out there. I only
listen to music on my IPhone now. I connect it to headphones or
speakers. Honestly, it’s amazing. I have added 4900 tracks to my
starred playlist. I often just shuffel play and let Spotify choose
from those tracks.

If you get it, let me know if you need help.

Is the reminders app on IOS inaccessible

[David Eagle]

Hi, I'm trying to create some reminders on my Iphone manually, without using 
SIRI and it seems really inaccessible. I can't change the day or the time of 
when I wanted to be riminded by. I'm using the default reminders app inside 
IOS.It seems a bit odd for this to be inaccessible. Thanks

Re: Is the reminders app on IOS inaccessible

[David Eagle]

Hmm, interesting, thanks. I'll have to try again. There's a button that lets 
you toggle the select a fday option on or off. But I just can't work out how to 
change the day and time of the riminder. The calindar is completely fine, but 
the riminders app is vexing me.

Re: Is the reminders app on IOS inaccessible

[David Eagle]

Tbilliant, thanks, that works great. I think the reason I was confused
was because I was trying to do it with a bluetooth keyboard. A bit
frustrating that you have to find the picker, but once you know it's
simple to do. Thanks everyone. By teh way, what is speed dots? I'll
have to look it up.

Warnning about the new release of the official Twitter app

[David Eagle]

Hi, just to inform you all that the official Twitter app has moved to
a new version and accessibility has been broken somewhat. The app
seems to still be largely accessible, but the number of tweets,
followers and following found on the ‘me’ screen is no longer read out
by VoiceOver. They are just blank spaces. Double tapping these spaces
does nothing, except in one case, when the list of people you’re
following is brought up.

I have notified Twitter.

Might be worth you contacting them about it too. Otherwise it might

Re: Warnning about the new release of the official Twitter app

[David Eagle]

Here's Twitter's reply. Bare in mind that I said I was blind and
explained exactly what the accessibility issue was:

To troubleshoot your issue, we recommend you clear cache from the
application settings on your device. To clear your cache go to your
Settings > Safari > Clear Cache.

If this does not resolve the issue, try deleting the app and
reinstalling it. To reinstall the app hold down the app icon and you
will see a "X" appear next to it. Tap on that "X", that will delete
the app. Then visit http://www.twitter.com/download to download the
app. Please note that this will affect your app settings.

If you're are troubleshooting an issue with a Twitter account that has
been integrated into your iOS 5-powered device, try removing your
account and signing in again. To remove your account:
1.Go to your phone’s System Settings
2. Tap on Twitter
3. Tap on the account that needs to be removed

brilliant, I will see an X appear will I? I've responded,
non-sarcasticly of course, reiterating the issue. Good news is that
TweetList is great.

Re: Hosting with Wordpress.orgq

[David Eagle]

Hi Alison, I use hostgator to host my website, which is £4.99 a month
and offers unlimited space (apparently). I use Wordpress.org on my Mac
and PC. I also use the Wordpress app on my IPhone. I don't use any
podcast provider for my podcasts. I make the rss files in notepad on
the PC. I then just use my hosting on hostgator to store the podcasts.
I don't use MarsEdit; I do everything through the Wordpress website or
the IPhone app.

Re: ftp sites in finder and read write mode

[David Eagle]

I've tried FileZiller, which I use on the PC, but it doesn't seem to
be accessible on the Mac. I've never used the Mac for FTP; I always
end up switching on my PC unfortunately.

Sorry I can't help Paul, but how do you use Terminal for FTP?

Re: Facebook Issues

[David Eagle]

I am unable to use Facebook since they mysteriously locked me out of
my account and then asked me to prove that I was myself by identifying
photos of my friends so as to unlock my account. I can't see the
photos nor do I know what my friends look like. I cannot find a way to
contact Facebook, so I now have an account that I can't use or even
delete. I know three other blind people who have the same problem.

Re: Facebook Issues

[David Eagle]

Thank you, apparently this photos system has been in place since
summer 2010. Even sighted people are struggling with it because they
might have friends they added just for gaming purposes, so they don't
know what they look like. Also apparently the photos could be of
anything. There just taken from a person's profile and so some people
have been asked to identify inanimate objects as friends. Very odd.
Goodness knows why Facebook can't verify who people are by asking the
secret questions that you set up when you first sign up.

Re: Facebook accessibility using safari on mac os10 lion

You could use m.facebook.com. This is the mobile Facebook site. I
don't use Facebook a lot but I find this so much more accessible.
You're notifications and everything is present on that site too.

Re: Quick way to get to my dropbox folder?

[David Eagle]

You could go to the dropbox really quickly by pressing command shift
H. Then type d r. That should take you to the dropbox folder. Press
command O to open and you're there. I can do this in less than a
second using this method. YOu can also copy the folder to your desktop
then delete it from it's previous location. I don't know how to add
things to the dock or desktop. I'm quite new to the Mac myself.

Re: Facebook accessibility using safari on mac os10 lion

[David Eagle]

Hi, what's wrong with just using the mobile site. In case I did't make
it clear, I'm using the mobile site on the Mac not my mobile. Sorry to
suggest the same thing twice if there's a reason you really need the
standard Facebook site. It's just so much easier.

Re: click to flash verses click to plug

[David Eagle]

Thanks for the explanation. I will have to uninstall Adobe Flash from
my Mac, since it isn't achieving anything. HTML5 works brilliantly on
the Mac. If only more people were using it.

I can't download anything all of a sudden

[David Eagle]

It seems as if my relationship with the Mac is one really good
experience followed by one really annoying one. Ive just had a really
successful time subscribing to podcasts in iTunes. I ten went to
download a file from the BBC website. I press VO key shift M like I
would usually do to get to the list of options where I can download
the file. But I don't get that. I get "forward, back, reload page"
etc. If I press the link then it opens and starts plain so it's
definitely a download. Where did my ability to get into the menu that
says "copy link, download linked file" etc go to? I know this will be
sacrilege to a lot of you but I find myself having to go back to my
sluggish windows machine just to get something done because the Mac
breaks things randomly like this. O and now just to top it all off,
real speak Daniel is sounding like he's on steroids. What the hell are
you doing to me Apple? O my god and now Safari keeps saying Busy then
ready then busy then ready. Why can't you make your mind up? are you
busy or ready? Sorry for the rant, but I get very frustrated by the
Mac sometimes, especially since it costs a lot more and seems to just
do the most quirky things. And now it's making silly plopping noises
at me as if I've misspelt a word; but I haven't. I might start writing
some words that will cause you to make plopping noises at me
Macintosh, but they won't be misspelt words; it's just your database
will not have the kind of words I'll be using. I suppose on the plus
side the Mac does run incredibly fast, although that generally means
it has more time to fit more annoying things in to a shorter space of
time. OK, I'm off to check my date and time settings in case the Mac
thinks it's April the first.

Re: I can't download anything all of a sudden

[David Eagle]

Thanks but sadly not. The stupid thing about this is it only does it
on one website. There's nothing wrong with the site though because it
is a BbC podcasts page and the links are definitely active because
they play when you click on them. . None of the links work when I
voiceOver shift M them. If I go to another podcast page then it works.
I think it happened when I was using the trackpad. I tried to do the
gesture equivalent to the VO shift M key and must have done the wrong
gesture. From then on it's gone wrong. I've tried deleting history and
that hasn't solved anything. I can't understand what this thing is
doing sometimes.

This is ridiculous. And now the first download link on the page works

The continuing adventures of David eagle and his Apple Mac computer. this time it's about Sendspace.

[David Eagle]

Hi, here we go again. Every time I switch on my Mac I take a deep
breath. I think about all the amazing reviews I’ve read about these
computers and assume that perhaps, this time, I will finally have a
really positive experience. Today’s task was uploading something to
sendspace. Things started off so well. Sendspace.com loaded no
problem; I found the select file button no problem/ when I clicked on
it, I got a window opening for me to choose my file. I’m not saying
this is the fault of the Mac; it’s probably me and my stubbornness
after years of using windows, but it took me ages to find the file I
wanted. Did I have to interact with the sidebar or the thing that was
called list. There was also a popup menu with a folder selected.
Choices choices. After a few minutes of pressing buttons I found the
file. The process seemed to have some level of cohesion to it, but I’m
not sure what exactly it was. I’m sure it’s very clever and much
simpler than the windows way of doing things. In windows I could have
found my file in three seconds, rather than four minutes.

Anyway, I accept that this is probably just something I need to learn
and practise. Fine. I found my file and went to upload. I pressed the
upload button and I got: “Safari busy. Busy. Busy. Busy”. After a half
a minute I eventually heard “safari, ready”. Hurrah, I can finally
check to see if my file is uploading. I pressed VO right arrow and
heard to my dismay “Safari busy. Busy. Busy”. I quit safari and tried
again. But I got the same problem. Yet again I shut down my Mac and
booted up my windows machine. Within two minutes my file was happily
uploading to send space. While it uploaded I checked my emails using
another instance of Internet explorer. The file has now finished
uploading and I am going to email it to my friends. Windows hasn’t
said “busy” at me once. And what really gets me about this is that the
netbook cost £150 and I’m using the free screen reader NVDA.

How is it possible? I really want to know. I’ve got way more am than
my windows machine, and my Mac cost fifteen times more than my
netbook. How come I have to keep turning off my Mac and turning on my
windows machine? The mac looks great; it’s fast; it’s really quiet –
very little fan noise. But it can’t do things. It’s ten times faster
than my windows computer, but that only means it can do much more to
annoy me in a far shorter period of time than my windows computer.

I want to join the Mac party. You all seem so elated by your Macs. Is
there a magic button to press that starts making it behave. I know I’m
ranting again but surely you can see my point. Is my experience so
anomalous? I read about all these people who say they bought a Mac and
now never use windows. But if I didn’t have a windows computer then
I’d achieve nothing.

I know this isn’t’ VO specific. I know it may even annoy some of you.
I know it’s not a particularly productive email. But if you do find
this email to be annoying and unproductive, think of it as a metaphor
for my general experience with the Mac. I feel as if I am the odd one
out, and I am waiting for the day that I am castigated from this list
for being “too PC”. O what irony. I hope you all enjoyed my hilarious
ending joke. I’m so sorry for ranting. I feel like an idiot. Please,
treat me like one. Tell me how I get the Mac to do the fundamental
element of a computer. That is: to compute! Because I am going to end
up not bothering to turn this machine on, which is such a shame
because it should be a great computer? Apparently.

I’m sure I’ll get there, and I promise, if I do, I’ll be singing the
Mac’s praises.
Thanks to everyone for being so patient and understanding.

Re: The continuing adventures of David eagle and his Apple Mac computer. this time it's about Sendspace.

[David Eagle]

Well everyone, I am so glad that my rant has actually managed to prove
productive. So many great tips, thank you.
To make a short cut to a folder on your desktop: find the file and
press Command L to make an Alius. Then copy the Alius and paste it to
your desktop. YOu can then delete the Alius in the folder you copied
it from if you like.
I am a fan of the column browser which makes searching a lot easier. I
was a bit confused about Command Shift G when I first discovered it
because I thought you could type the first few letters of a folder
somewhere on your computer and it would find the folder. So for
instance to get my Podcasts folder in iTunes I could just press podc
and then enter and it would take me straight there without having to
go into Music, ITunes, ITunes Media, podcasts. Now I know it's for
file paths.

I have used Saphari on a friends IPad and it worked brilliantly, but I
wasn't uploading anything to sends pace. Thank god for my dropbox
which makes sending files so much easier, when it's not full.


Thanks for all the tips and for being so sympathetic towards my ranting.

Re: Questions

When you plug it in it should automatically show something on the
display. Mine said Battery Charging. To get it to show you what's
appearing on your computer though, press one of the cursor routing
buttons. The two rows above your display. This works fine for me.

Re: Questions

[David Eagle]

I'm not seeing this with my set up. On my Macbook Pro using Lion it
works fine. I plug it in to the USB port, press a cursor routing
button and it works fine. well at least it works in terms of reading
braille; I have had no joy writing with it. The cursor wheels also
work fine for me. Go into the voiceOver utility, to the braille
category, then in braille displays have a look at the settings.
Perhaps change the primary braille display setting to, use all braille
displays. I haven't got my Mac with me where I am at the moment, so I
can't be more specific.

Let me know how you get on.

Trying to add my gmail account to Apple Mail in Lion

[David Eagle]

Hi, I'm trying to add my gmail account to Apple Mail but it won't
work. I've put in all the right settings, and created my account, but
it hasn't downloaded any messages. I had it working before in Snow
Leopard, and I set it up in Lion using the default settings, but it
didn't work very well with Lion - it kept assaying there was a problem
with the certificate. So I've deleted all the accounts and am trying
to start again but to no avail. Any ideas?

Re: Trying to add my gmail account to Apple Mail in Lion

[David Eagle]

O and now all my messages in my inbox have mysteriously disappeared. I
mean they've disappeared in Google Mail altogether, even if I use the
web mail. I have no idea why. Apple Mail has managed to delete three
years of messages. But the good news is that I have new messages
showing up in Apple Mail now. I'm not sure that's much of a
consolation though for deleting three years of messages, but never
mind; I'm sure my computer knows best.

My sent items are all present though; it's just my inbox that's been
deleted. This is annoying since I'm not really interested in what I've
said to other people; it's more the things that other people have said
to me that's interesting. Perhaps my Mac thinks I'm more egotistical
than I actually am.

OK, I don't know what it's doing. I clicked on a link called

Well I seem to be doing OK now. I quite like the googlemail website, but I'm 
finding Apple mail very quick and efficient. If you get this message then I'm 
doing OK; if you don't then obviously I'm not.

Re: How do I download something?

[David Eagle]

To see the most recent downloads, press enter on your downloads folder in the 
dock. You will see the most recently downloaded items in order of when you 
downloaded them. If pressing enter doesn't illicit the correct result and you 
don't get the list then you might have to change how your downloads present 
themselves when you press enter. Go to the downloads folder in the dock and 
press VO Shift M then press enter on the display as folder option, press VO 
Shift M again and enter on view as 'list'. Also make sure that sort by date 
added is checked. Now in future, when you want to see your most recently 
downloaded items, you can do that by pressing enter on your downloads folder in 
the dock. If you want to have access to Open with and get Info etc, then you 
have to open the downloads folder in the dock by doing a VO shift M and 
pressing O then enter to get the downloads folder open in the finder window. 
then you have access to everything. 

Hope this makes sense.

Re: Glitch with Nuance Voices In Lion Getting Worse

[David Eagle]

Real Speak daniel does it now and again, for me, but not too much. It doesn't 
do it with JAWs I don't think. I wonder what causes it. I'm replying to a lot 
of messages today because I am so impressed with how amazing Apple Mail is. Yes 
people, you heard me right! I am finally coming round to loving my Mac. I used 
to think of my Mac kind of like a young, attractive woman who I'm having an 
affair with. She was exciting, new and invigorating. But she doesn't do any 
jobs around the house, nor could I depend on her in a time of need like I could 
with my wife. My windows machine is my wife; she's a bit boring, she nags me a 
lot, but she's been long-term and she's generally dependable, if a little 
sluggish. So now and again I go trotting off to my fantasy woman (I.E. my Mac 
computer,) but I always come home when I need something from my wife, (my 
windows computer) because I can depend on her. Also my Mac is like a younger 
fantasy woman who I'm having an affair with because she is very expensive in 
comparison to my windows machine. Let's be honest, I had to buy my fantasy 
woman's love. If I didn't splash the cash she wouldn't give me the time of day. 

Shall we stop the metaphor there? I'm starting to get emotional. By the way, I 
don't have a wife, nor am I dating a young attractive woman. Nor do I get up to 
anything sinister with my Mac, nor with my windows machine. Well … nothing much 
anyway. O come on! I'm not the only one! 

Sorry for the long email that didn't really help. I'm just so impressed by th 
speed with which I can use Apple Mail and how easy it is to reply and send 
emails. I will not make a habit of rambling messages that don't answer the 
question, but if you're the kind of person who gets annoyed by that kind of 
thing then let me alleviate any annoyance you might be feeling by alerting you 
to the fact that I am using this lengthy email as a way for you to test how 
many times Real Speak voices fluctuate into different pitches while reading it. 
So yes, this email is a sort of scientific experiment. If you all press VO A to 
read the whole message and report back how many times our real speak voices did 
odd pitch changes and where they happened, then perhaps we will identify some 
kind of trend. I'm sure there's some of you who believe I've just made that 
last bit up to justify my rambling long message, but then you would say that 
wouldn't you. That's just the kind of person you are. 

Incidentaly, I just read the message back with Real Speak Daniel using VO A to 
read all, and it didn't do a random pitch change once. So perhaps it only 
happens when you cursor through things. Is anyone else finding that is true? 

You see, there was a point to my message after all.

The End!

Re: How do I download something?

[David Eagle]

Did you follow my other steps? You need to change a few settings. Press VO 
Shift M and then enter on the options Display as folder and view as list. Then 
when you've made these two changes, press enter on your downloads folder in the 
dock and you get a list of downloaded files and programmes, in the order of 
most recent first. To use open with, get info etc, you need to open the 
downloads folder in the dock with VO shift M, then press O to get to the open 
option, then press enter. Follow the steps in my last email, step by step and 
you should be fine. You've only done step 1 so far. 

I hope you understand and that I've managed to help. Sorry if I've not 
explained it well enough.

Re: How do I download something?

[David Eagle]

Yes ignore the enter key as the first step. Follow the other steps. I only 
mentioned the enter thing at first because that is how my downloads folder is 
set up. If pressing enter yields nothing for you then you need to do the other 
steps to set it up so that pressing enter means you can then cursor through 
your downloads in order of most recent. 
I hope this helps. Let us know if you're still unsure.

Re: Basic item chooser question

[David Eagle]

OUt of interest, could you not just press VO F and type download to get to the 
download link? I've never used the Item Chooser, so I'm just inquisitive about 
why you use it as opposed to VO F which I use all the time.

Thanks

Re: Basic item chooser question

[David Eagle]

Hi, VO F is Voice Over find. You are not doing a Google search. Pressing VO F 
and typing in characters allows you to find instances of those characters. So 
for instance, if you pressed VO F then typed Download, then enter, you would 
get the first instance of the word download on that page. Press VO G to find 
the next instance. 
I use this all the time to search for links, such as download and find it very 
useful; but if the item chooser works better for you then that's great.

Re: Question about e-mail

[David Eagle]

A conversation is exactly what we're doing right now. Basically, there are a 
number of people all contributing to the same mail topic. Here's how it works: 
find the conversation you want to read. Press enter on it or VO O to open the 
message. You can scroll left and right through the messages with the cursor 
left and right keys. The furthest right will give you the first message in that 
conversation and you go through the later messages in that conversation by 
pressing cursor left. To close the conversation press Command W.

Hope this helps.

Re: Apple VIS Campaign of the month!

[David Eagle]

OK, great, sounds good. But what's inaccessible about Skype. I seem to manage 
fine using it? I'd be happy to sign a petition, but as I don't find anything 
wrong with it it would seem a bit silly to do so. Now what about Spotify for 
next month? They've completely ignored my Emails about accessibility on the 
Mac.

Re: Apple VIS Campaign of the month!

[David Eagle]

OK, fair enough, I didn't realise that it was IOS. That's very frustrating that 
the Skype mobile app isn't accessible and I shall definitely sign the campaign; 
I am planning on getting an IPhone soon. But I don't understand what's wrong 
with Dropbox on the Mac. I use it all the time. What's the issue? Am I the only 
person ablel to use Dropbox on the Mac or is this just a one off problem that 
someone is having.

Re: Good iPhone Scannar app

[David Eagle]

So this thing just lets you listen to police conversations? Does it come in 
useful at all in everyday life? It seems a bit random. Sorry if this comes 
across a bit rude; I'm just inquisitive as to what you use it for. I suppose it 
could be interesting, but I'd find it odd if I spent my train journeys to work 
listening to random police conversations rather than a Podcast.
