Confusion About Junk Mailbox
Good Evening! Recently, I have found list mail messages in my "Junk" mailbox. I want to mark them as not junk, but can't seem to figure out how! I've only had this problem since Mavericks. What am I missing? Desi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Confusion About Junk Mailbox
Thanks David! That makes perfect sense to me! In fact, I did that with at least one message, but haven't received any further messages from that person, so am not sure that it worked. Thanks for letting me know I'm at least on the right track!

Removing Extra Apple Files From SD Cards Used In Windows Devices
Hi Everyone, I am accumulating quite a few of those extra files that Apple puts on SD cards. When I put the SD card into my Braille Edge, I can see these extra files, but when the SD card is in my iMac, these files are not visible to me. I know that each time I put my card into my Mac, the Mac will put more of these files on it, but occasionally I would like to clear them off to free up some space on the SD card. I don't have any other Windows type devices aside from my Braille Edge. If I try to delete these extra files from the card when it's in my Braille Edge, all files are erased! Is there any way I can delete them from the Mac? I hope somebody understands what I'm talking about! :) Any help would be most appreciated!

Re: Removing Extra Apple Files From SD Cards Used In Windows Devices
Thanks so much Tim! I wondered about that, but since I can't see them right now, I thought they could be taking up quite a bit of extra space. It didn't appear so when I checked the amount of space left on the card, but I get tired of wading through them every time I access files on my Braille Edge. I can certainly live with it though.

Syncing Question
A long time ago I set up my iPod Touch 4th Generation to Sync everything across the board. Now, I don't want to have all of my newly purchased music downloaded to my iPod, because I have iTunes Match. Would someone be kind enough to remind me where to go to fix this? I plugged my iPod in to my computer without allowing it to Sync, and I went into iTunes Preferences, but couldn't find where the list of things you have checked to Sync is located. Any help with this would be most appreciated! Thanks in advance! Desi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Typing On The IPhone's On-Screen Keyboard
Hi Everyone, I was recently having a discussion with a friend about how to type on the on-screen keyboard of the iPhone. Personally, I don't particularly like to use a special program for this like, for instance, mBraill or Fleksy. I just want to use the regular keyboard. Dictation can be useful, but of course, sometimes, it's just nice to be able to type something relatively privately. I have built up some speed over the past 3 years, but I would like to get faster. I generally hold my phone in my left hand, and use my right index finger to type, anchoring my thumb down where the connector is at the bottom of the phone. I'm interested to know how others who type using the regular on-screen keyboard, enter your text. I do happen to use Touch Typing mode, but I would also be interested in what typing mode you use. And, does anyone else besides me just use the regular on-screen keyboard for their typing needs? Thanks!

Managing Gmail
Hi Everyone and Happy Fourth! I have a gmail account for all of my list mail. The mail from that account comes directly to my inbox in Apple Mail on my iMac. Recently I was doing something in my mailboxes table, and I discovered that several entries down on the list, I had a mailbox called All Mail Gmail. When I opened it, to my horror, I discovered some 8,000 messages there! I did a mass delete! Since then, I have been keeping tabs on this mailbox and deleting everything I find there at the end of each day. Then, both yesterday and today I checked it again, and when to my knowledge it should have been empty, again I found several thousand messages! What else can I do to keep these messages from piling up! I really don't want to check my mail on the Google site because maybe it's just me, but I find it very difficult to navigate! Any help with this would be most appreciated! Thanks in advance! Desi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Managing Gmail
Hi Sabahattin, Thanks so much for your input! I think switching to iCloud is doubtless my best option! I'm not the most technologically savvy person though, and I'm not sure how to do this. It seems to me that I may already have an iCloud address, but obviously I have never used it. How do I find out if I have an established address, and if I don't, how do I go about setting one up? I truly don't want to keep any Google accounts active! Thanks so much for any direction you can send my way!

Re: Managing Gmail
In this case, I shouldn't have a problem, because my current gmail address is not my primary e-mail address. After I am sure that my new iCloud address works, I will get rid of my gmail account altogether. Thanks for the heads-up on this!

Unsubscribing and resubscribing
I set up my iCloud email address very easily! Now, ultimately, I would like to unsubscribe my gmail address and resubscribe with my iCloud address, and then delete my gmail account altogether! What would be the most efficient way to do this, since I had a lot of trouble getting into the MacVisionaries group in the first place, and I'm sure with my usual technological luck, I'll make Google mad at me!

Editing Problem In Text Edit
Hi Everybody, I think someone else has mentioned this problem, but I can’t remember what the answer was! This is the first time I have edited a document with TextEdit since I updated to Mavericks. I am editing my weekly Church Bulletin, and when I get to the top of the second page, voiceover stops speaking. If I interact with the text at that point, it will speak again, but I’m not in the habit of editing that way. Usually, I arrow through the document deleting what needs to be deleted and then moving forward. Can someone please remind me what I need to do to keep VoiceOver speaking throughout the entire document without having to interact? Thanks tons!

How To Delete Music From My iPod Touch
Good Evening! A couple of months back, I subscribed to iTunes Match. I currently have 4,012 songs there. Previously I had stored all of my music in my iTunes Library on my iMac, and all songs were also stored on my iPod Touch 4th Gen 64 gig. Once I had all of my music in iTunes Match I thought the space taken up on my iPod would be freed up. I discovered however, that I actually still have 3,427 songs physically stored on my iPod. How can I get them off my iPod so that I can just stream them using iTunes Match? I tried turning iTunes Match off on my iPod and then turning it back on a little while later. I was asked if I wanted the library replaced to which I answered yes. When that was done, I went back and checked under Settings/General/About, and discovered that it still says I have 3,427 songs, using 29 plus gigs. Any help with this would be much appreciated!

Re: How To Delete Music From My iPod Touch
Hi Tim, Thank you so much for your help! I truly appreciate it! I did exactly what you said, I think, but I got in a hurry at the end and turned iTunes Match on again before unplugging my iPod from my computer. So, now I still have all the songs on my iPod I had before. I’m assuming I should have unplugged it before turning iTunes Match back on? In case you couldn’t tell, I’m not technologically inclined! LOL! I do my very best, but get easily overwhelmed, particularly when things don’t turn out the way I think they should! Again, thanks!

Will Imported CD;s Go Directly Into iTunes Match?
Good Afternoon, I just got two new Christmas CD’s and realized that this is the first music I’ll be importing since I signed up for iTunes Match. Will the new music I add in this way go directly to iTunes Match? Or, is there something I need to do to make sure that it does? Thanks in advance!

Re: Will Imported CD;s Go Directly Into iTunes Match?
Thanks so much for your help! It worked beautifully, and I didn’t have to do anything extra. My only small mistake was that I forgot that it would take some time to upload the new music to the cloud, so I was worried at first when after some song titles it said “Dimmed.” After the reason for this dawned on me, I relaxed and let it happen and they’re all there now just as they should be!

SD Card Space And Saving Email Attachments
Hi Everyone, My first question is pretty basic, and I’m sure I should probably know the answer, but I blame the cold I have for making my mind foggy! Anyway, once I put an SD card into my iMac, how can I determine how much available space I have on it? Secondly, is it possible to save an e-mail attachment directly to my SD card? Thanks so much!

Questions About Using The Braille Edge With Files Produced On The Mac
Hi Everyone, I just acquired a Braille Edge 40, and one of the things I did almost immediately, was to copy some files from my iMac on to an SD card. I placed the card in the Braille Edge, and while my folder structure was perfect, I noticed that there were two versions of every file I had placed there! One of the file names had a bunch of underline symbols in them, while the other version didn’t. When I tried to open the ones with the extra symbols, I saw “Mac OSX followed by a bunch of stuff I couldn’t interpret. When I opened the files that had no extra symbols, they looked perfectly normal and were just as I expected them to be. I also forgot to mention, that the top two folder names in my Braille Edge NotePad were designated by only a pair of quotes and did not seem to open. I deleted all of the extra versions of my own files, leaving only the accurate versions on my card, and then I decided in order to tidy things up I would delete the folders with the quotes. That was definitely a mistake! When the delete was completed, I got the chilling message “No Items.” Copying them back on to my card from my iMac won’t be a problem, but how do I make sure that all of those “Ghost” files don’t come back? Furthermore, what are the files that were designated by just the pair of quotes, or what could also have been the number 80? Also, when I tried to pair my Braille Edge with my iPhone 4S following the instructions on the HIMS web site, I got a message saying, “Unable to load driver.” I’m running version 1.1, I don’t remember the exact build number, but I think it came out in September. Any help with these issues would be most appreciated! Desi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Questions About Using The Braille Edge With Files Produced On The Mac
Hi Lisette, Thanks so much for your help! I should have remembered that command because it’s just like on the Braille Sense Plus I used to have. The odd thing is that I now have 3 of those funny folders at the top of my list, but I guess I dare not delete any of them since I don’t want to take a chance! :) At least I can get rid of all the other ghost files though!

Re: Questions About Using The Braille Edge With Files Produced On The Mac
Hi Gigi, That sounds like a nightmare for sure! I think I’ll wait awhile to do a reset of my phone! I would, of course, love to be able to pair it with my Braille Edge, but it isn’t the highest priority for me, or really even why I got the Braille Edge. I do still have AppleCare on my phone, so could call for help if and when I decide to do it! Thanks again so much for your help!

Hi David, Thanks so much! I'm interested to know about the storage capacity, what types of files it reads such as .txt, .brf, ETC. and how the book reader works. It's perfectly fine if you wish to write me privately about this. I would truly appreciate your thoughts!

Backing Up My iPhone 4S

Re: Backing Up My iPhone 4S
Exactly, and this is really what I want to do, but when I plug my iPhone into my iMac and go into the devices menu under the file menu, backup is dimmed. I'm not sure how to undim it. Also I thought my Apps would automatically update when I plug my phone into the Mac, but I seem to have 19 updates available. This perplexes me because I keep my Apps up-to-date all the time, and thought that when my phone synced with my computer those updates listed on my computer should disappear. I am so clueless when it comes to this stuff! Just when I think I understand things, I get more confused!

Another Braille Question
Good Morning! Is there a way, using the Mac, to save .txt, .doc, or any other file type as .brf files for use on my iOS devices with my Braille Display? Now that .brf files can be imported into the BARD App, I have a number of files I could use that way if I could save them as .brf files. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Another Braille Question
Hi Chris, I don't mean to be totally dim here, but then are you saying that renaming a file is the same as saving the file as? Have you done this successfully? If so, then I truly thank you for the tip! No matter how long I'm at this technology game, I will continue to be baffled on a regular basis! I didn't think that simply putting a new extension on a file would ascribe to it the characteristics of that file type. Since BRF stands for Braille Ready Format, doesn't the document have to be translated into Braille before it can truly be a .brf file? Thanks to anyone for any clarification on this! This is a great list, and I really do appreciate your help!

Taking Apps out of the App Switcher question for my sighted husband
Hi Everyone, I have learned the various ways to clear the App Switcher with iOS 7 using VoiceOver, but we can't figure out how to do it for my sighted husband, who doesn't use VoiceOver. Can anyone tell us? Much thanks in advance! Desi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

iTunes Match Questions
Hi Everyone, I have been considering signing up for iTunes Match, but I am a little reluctant because I am Technologically challenged! LOL! My track record is something like this. Every time someone tells me that installing something on my computer or performing some transaction is the easiest thing ever, I run the other way, because nothing ever seems to work for me the way it does for everyone else! I don't know if I'm jinxed or what, but what should be a 5-minute project usually becomes an all day affair! Having said this, what does one have to do to sign up for iTunes Match? Are those of you who use this service happy with it? Are there certain settings that should be monitored on a periodic basis? Thanks so much for any information you can pass along! I have a music collection that spans many years, and I would like to insure its safety. Incidentally, does anyone else find iTunes confusing to use? I should add that I have an iMac running the latest version of Mountain Lion and iTunes both. Desi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: iTunes Match Questions
Thanks Jonathan, My music collection isn't quite that big, so no worries there! I look forward to trying it out! Thanks for the encouragement!

iTunes Match Question
Hi Everybody, I subscribed to iTunes Match recently and mostly I'm loving it, but I'm wondering if some more experienced users can help me with something. I chose an album of one of my favorite artists to play while I was exercising, but some of the song titles seem to be dimmed and when I start playing the album, the dimmed titles are skipped. All of my music is legitimate and all of the songs are listed, but I'm wondering what could be going on here, and how I can get the dimmed song titles to be active? Can someone help? Thanks!

iTunes Match And Problem With Apple Store
Hi Again Everyone, My iTunes Match saga continues! Anna was certainly right that not all of my songs had been uploaded, but beyond that, there is apparently something amiss still because I keep getting an error message that says my connection has been lost and that there is a problem in the Apple Store. Has anyone else encountered this? I apparently still have 584 songs to go. I guess it's not anything wrong on my end, but I sure wish it could be resolved quickly! I'd like to get this project done!

Hi Tim, I am using an iMac. Would I follow the same procedure you outlined? Thanks! Desi On Oct 12, 2013, at 12:24 PM, Tim Kilburn wrote: > Hi, > > No, I've not had that error in a long, long time.
