Re: Isn't there a keyboard command to mute/unmute speech in Voiceover?
I know you can use a three-finger double-tap on the trackpad when the trackpad commander is turned on to mute voiceover, but I’m not aware of a keyboard command that involves buttons. If there is such a thing, I would love to know myself!

Re: Sending messages with Apple Watch.
Hi, This tripped me up in the beginning, too.

Re: Sending messages with Apple Watch.
Hi there. Yep, it’s a “real thing.” :-) I discovered it by accident one day, when I had become frustrated because I couldn’t find a “send” button in which to send my text. There was a “don’t send” button, but nothing that seemed obvious to actually send it. So thinking I would just close the text and send it from my phone instead, I pressed the Crown button, like I usually do to close out of stuff, and what do you know…it sent. LOL I have been doing it that way ever since. -- Jenny & Marmalade Phone: (972 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter: KC5GNI “I’m the kid who has this habit of dreaming, Sometimes gets me in trouble too.

Re: best bluetooth headset
Hi Ed, I have been struggling with finding a compatible bluetooth headset myself. However, my husband bought the Plantronics Voyager Pro for me for Christmas, and it works very well. It is a single ear piece, and voiceover does transfer to the bluetooth just fine. The only exception to this I have found is when I connect the bluetooth during a call in progress. Otherwise, if I initiate the call or if the bluetooth happens to be connected when a call comes in, I have all other audio through the bluetooth available as well. I can also listen to books and music via the bluetooth headset, while maintaining my use of voiceover. This particular headset also speaks to me, letting me know when it has connected, disconnected, and announces how much talk time is left each time it is connected. I haven't really had time to play with other features as of yet. As others have said, I am pretty sure the most important aspect is the a2dp compatibility. Good luck on your search, and let us know what you find! -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Dec 27, 2011, at 4:46 PM, Ed Worrell wrote: > Sense no one would answer me on this one I will ask again.

Mail alternatives in Mavericks
Good day all. Okay, so I, somewhat regrettably, upgraded to Mavericks after having installed a new hard drive. As most folks are aware by now, the native Mail app basically stinks at interacting with Gmail's iMap server I guess, in spite of recent software updates. Since it doesn't appear that this issue will be fixed any time soon, does anybody have any recommendations on an accessible mail client that will work with Mavericks? I mistakenly tried Airmail, but alas, it's not accessible with voiceover. Any suggestions y'all may have are greatly appreciated. :-) Thanks!

Re: Apple nylon weave Watch band
Thanks for posting this, Janine. I have been seriously considering the nylon weave band, but haven’t even looked at pricing yet. Glad to see an opinion from someone who actually has the band before buying one. It sounds nice. And I agree with you about the sports bands, they are pretty slick, and I rather like the way it fastens, but it does tend to absorb oder and can get dirty with dog hair and dirt fairly easily. On the upside, it does clean up easily, too. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter: KC5GNI “I’m the kid who has this habit of dreaming, Sometimes gets me in trouble too.

Re: Amazon Prime is it worth it and are the videos accessible
Hi there. I have had Amazon prime now for around two years, and it has been worth every penny for the shipping alone. However, I have also recently begun watching many Amazon videos, which I also enjoy as a benefit of the prime membership. As to the accessibility of the videos, I can't really say. I have been watching them via the Kindle Fire HDX, where I can tell you they are definitely very accessible, but can't speak to Ios, windows or the mac. Perhaps I will give it a try on my iPhone or macbook pro today and get back to you. I have also taken advantage of the "kindle lending library," but to the best of my knowledge, you can only "borrow "kindle books from a kindle device. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Dec 27, 2013, at 1:47 PM, Brian Fischler wrote: > Hey all, > > I don't buy a lot but do buy almost everything through Amazon, and recently > paid for two day shipping, yeah I guess I am impatient when I want something. > I wanted to see if the people who are using Amazon Prime are liking it and > felt it was worth it.

It's right between the pop-up button to select which device the book is to be sent to and the link that says "Enter a promotion code or gift card." It just says "button." When you click on the unlabeled button, you will be asked to sign in. Once signed in, you will be able to enter your recipient's information. This is on the Amazon website, by the way. I haven't tried it through the Amazon app as of yet. Hope this helps. :-) -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Jan 4, 2014, at 11:18 AM, Teresa Cochran wrote: > Hi, all, > > The Amazon help page indicates that you can activate a link on a Kindle book > page that says, “give as gift”.

AppleTV & Netflix
Good day all. Just curious, is anybody else experiencing difficulty accessing Netflix via their AppleTV? I can't say exactly when the problem began, but I haven't been able to access Netflix at any point yesterday or today. I can however, access streaming content just fine on my mac and our iPhone/iPods. I have tried unplugging the AppleTV for several minutes and plugging it back in again. Now I have to enter my login info for Netflix again, but it still won't connect. The error I was getting originally said "Unable to access Netflix at this time. Please try again later." I am using AppleTV 2, btw. Would it be worth my time to contact Netflix?

Re: Lion: Worth The Upgrade?
So far, I don't regret upgrading. I realize I am probably in the minority here, but I actually like the conversation view in mail. :-) It actually speeds up the process of wading through dozens upon dozens of messages. Although, I have done a little tweaking here and there to suit my own preferences. Honestly, I haven't had a chance to bang around on the new OS as much as many others on this list, but I can say with confidence that I absolutely *love* the browsing experience in safari now! Between faster loading of web pages and the ability to more quickly navigate using the special quicknav features, Facebook is no longer the pain in the bum it used to be. I also enjoy the ability to configure specific "activities" for voiceover behavior in my various applications. I can't wait to tinker around more with Lion over the coming days. Oh, one particularly odd behavior, although not a "problem" per say, when typing a message in Mail, such as this reply, it sounds as if Alex has a cigarette hanging out of his mouth as he speaks. LOL Seems like I notice it more when I am backspacing or when the auto-correct is spelling out it's suggestions. The letter "S" is most pronounced. LOL Anyway, as a side note, I wold like to say that in spite of the occasional bickering back and forth, I have already found many posts here to be extremely beneficial as I tame the Lion.

Re: Lion: Worth The Upgrade?
Hi Krister, I'm sure I won't do your question justice here, as I am still fairly new to quicknav myself. Perhaps someone else can help fill in the gaps as needed. Actually, I didn't use quicknav very much in SL either, because I also found it a little confusing. However, I like it so much now that I have created an activity to automatically enable quicknav upon launching Safari, per instructions posted on this list. Okay, so the benefit in my particular case, is the single letter navigation. Say for instance, I am on Facebook's website, which is where I absolutely love this feature. With quicknav enabled, I can simply hit the letter "h" for "headers", and I am then directed to the first heading on the page. From this point on, I can merely use the down-arrow or the letter "h" to progress heading by heading throughout the page. The same could be done with links, tables, form controls, etc. On the FB website, navigating heading by heading makes it ridiculously easy to move from one person's status to the next. It's quite slick. Anything that makes FB's website more user-friendly is aces in my book. ;-) It works very well on the few other web pages I have tried as well. It does take a bit of playing with to get the hang of things, as does anything new, but I say it's well worth it. I am only guessing here, but perhaps the quicknav in SL allowed you to navigate through links, form controls, headers, etc. using the up and down arrows, depending on what you currently had selected in the web rotor -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Jul 22, 2011, at 7:47 AM, Krister Ekstrom wrote: > Could someone please help this stupid old dog see the light about quick nab? > What's new?

Re: Apple TV?
Hi Donna, The only problem we have ever had with our AppleTV has been with Netflix. When we encountered our latest Netflix issue, we were receiving an error message indicating that Netflix was currently unavailable, and to please try again later. So I googled the problem, and many posts on this particular issue recommended power cycling the AppleTV, which I did, numerous times. However, power cycling made no difference, other than making me re-enter my login information for Netflix. Well, I suppose we got a different error at that point, so it did make some difference. :-) So my husband did some more googling, and what he found was very simple. It was recommended to back out of Netflix upon receiving the error, don't do anything else, then going straight back into Netflix. Um, believe it or not, this worked. After three days of no Netflix access, it worked. Not sure if it will work in your case, as this issue seems to be slightly different for different folks, but it's probably worth a try. As soon as you receive the error message, back out to the Main menu and go straight back into Netflix. Good luck to you, and I hope you get it working soon! -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Jul 27, 2011, at 6:22 AM, Donna Goodin wrote: > Hi Les and Patrick, > > thanks for the feedback. those aren't the problems we're having.

Recommendations for app
Good day all! I writing to find out if any of you might happen to have any recommendations for an app that wold allow me to move files between my mac and windows machines. We have one windows machine that we are using specifically for storage and as our media warehouse, if you will. We keep all of our music and movies on the windows machine and stream them to the apple TV and other devices in the house. However, when we use one of the macs to do the ripping, which is our preferred mode, it seems to be a pain in the rear to get our files from one platform to another. The easiest way for us would be to either put the copied files onto an external drive and connect it up to the desired computer, or grab the files directly over our network connection. I am currently running Lion on all mac machines and windows 7 on the other machine. This is still somewhat of a learning experience for me in some respects. :-) -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Recommendations for app
Thank you very much! Well, I have verified the IP address of my windows machine, but my mac is unable to connect. I have a feeling there is something I need to setup on the windows side to correct this. Guess I will need to do some research into what exactly to change.

Re: Recommendations for app
Awesome, thank you both for your help! I am now successfully connecting to the windows machine and am able to access my shared folders. Now I just have to figure out what I am doing wrong when it comes to copying my movie over. LOL I have tried both copy and paste, as well as dragging and dropping. Copying and pasting does nothing, and when I drag and drop, I get the error that the marked item is no longer in view. I understand that it's not in view, but am not sure how to keep both windows in view.

Re: ABBYY OCR Software
Good day all. My name is Jenny, and I am new to the list. I have just recently acquired a used mac running OS 10.56, and am still learning my way around. I look forward to learning a lot from this list, and hope to contribute something of use myself in the future. I am also working toward the purchase of either a mac mini or macbook pro down the road, but as for now, this machine will serve as a good launching pad. With regard to Abby Reader, I would also like to ask for recommendation on where one might obtain this program? I am very interested in obtaining pricing information as well. Thanks!

Re: ABBYY OCR Software
Well howdy right back atcha! Good to run into you again! So now I am plunging head-first into the world of mac, and so far, I am loving it. Then again, I nearly always enjoying new things, especially as they relate to computers. Having said that, it has been too long since I have had the time or energy to play with new operating systems and programs, and I am looking forward to the experience. I have only had this parrticular mac for less than a day, and have made great strides. Thanks to some excellent podcasts I have stumbled across, as well as general exploration, I am making progress. Now, if only I can locate the user guide. LOL I would love to find something with a wealth of info regarding voiceover commands. My playtime and ability to spend time researching is rather broken and limited these days, but I do what I can. As I said before, I think this list will be a very useful resource.

Allison, Thank you for the welcome!

iTunes on the mac - new user
Greetings all! Okay, so I have been having loads of fun playing with and learning my new-to-me mac over the past week. I have already learned some nifty little tips and tricks from this list as well, for which I am very appreciative, I assure you. So today's project was getting my iPhone setup and successfully syncronized with iTunes on the mac. After having downloaded and installed the latest update for iTunes, I proceeded to configure iTunes to sync my contacts, calendar, notes, apps, books and music. The apps were about the only thing I managed to get transfered over apparently. While I haven't received any error messages indicating a problem, I am not finding the contacts and calendar entries that should have transfered over anywhere. Am I correct in assuming they would go into the Addressbook and iCal on the mac? My guess is, there is something important I am missing. Furthermore, if anyone has any advice for transfering music that has not necessarily been purchased from the iTunes store from the phone into iTunes, I would be very grateful. If this topic has been covered recently, please feel free to either write me privately, as not to clutter the list, or point me in the right direction for more in-depth assistance with iTunes, voiceover, etc. Thanks!

Speaking of Safari and Google
Good day all. So I have a question concerning accessing google through Safari, but thought it might stray a little off topic from the thread currently running. Now I am a newbie to the mac world, so this may be sheer ignorance on my part, but might anyone have some idea as to why I cannot access my search results in google? I haven't noticed this problem on other websites as of yet, but when performing a search in google, I find that the links that would normally be available to me to click on are listed only as headers, followed by an unlabeled button, followed by the brief blurb from the website I wish to access. Being I use google for most of my web search needs, this is highly annoying. I don't know if there is some nifty trick I need to perform with voiceover to make it happen, or if my search results are simply inaccessible. There is always a link present to click on google's cached version of the page, but not for the page itself. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer!

Re: Speaking of Safari and Google
Thanks for the response. While I am familiar with how to activate a link, the problem appears to be that Safari simply doesn't seem to recognize the area I need to activate as a link. Therefore, using VO +space does nothing. I don't know, seeing as how not many people are familiar with this particular issue, I am beginning to wonder if it could have anything to do with the version of OS I am running. This machine has OS 10.56, which is certainly not the latest and greatest. Jenny -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Speaking of Safari and Google
Hi Nic, Well, the odd thing is, the headers never say "link." They do announce themselves as headings, but nothing more. That is to say, it will say "heading level 3", followed by the name of the heading, but it's not clickible at all.

Re: Speaking of Safari and Google
Hi Allison. Thanks for the suggestion. Actually, I had tried VO+U, and for some reason, it still would not allow me to select the heading or link I desired. Very strange animal, this mac.

Justin, Thanks for taking the time to respond. Thankfully, it looks like interacting with the heading does the trick.

Importing music from iPhone into iTunes
Hello all. So I am very excited, and slightly intimidated...I finally took the plunge and purchased a macbook pro last night. So far, I am loving it! However, I am finding that much of what I learned on my older system does not apply on my new one, which is a slight bummer. :-) So one of my mission-critical projects was to get iTunes up and running. Thankfully, my contacts, calendar, books and apps all synchronized perfectly. My question is, is there a way to transfer music (not purchased from the iTunes store), from the phone to the computer? I know windows requires the assistance of a third-party program to achieve this, but it seems like I recall hearing at some point, that you can accomplish this directly from within iTunes with a mac. Of course, my memory isn't that great, so who knows... I would most certainly appreciate any information you may have to offer. Thank you!

Re: My first mac. Questions.
Hi Nektarios and all. First thing, welcome to the list, Nektarios! I hope you find this list as helpful as I have so far. I am new to the mac too, only having had mine less than a week now. Thankfully, I feel like I have made very good progress, owing to some very useful podcasts, google and this list. I also appreciated the information concerning the shortcuts for checking the time and battery level. I am also experiencing some difficulty with Skype. Like you, I needed to move my Skype to the applications folder manually, but am still having problems connecting to the network. So I guess my own question is, if we already have a newer version that has known issues, what is the recommended method of removing the new version and replacing it with the older copy? I realize many applications can simply be sent to the trash, but are there still existing libraries out there that may cause a conflict? Like I said, I am still very new to the mac myself, and therefore am still fumbling my way along. :-) Jenny On Oct 25, 2010, at 6:15 AM, Nektarios Mallas wrote: > Thanks very much. > I was able to move the app to the applications folder and use the control+f8 > functions. > I still have trouble connecting to skype though, no matter what I do. > Will see. > > Nektarios. > > On Oct 25, 2010, at 1:29 PM, Ray Foret Jr wrote: > >> Well, Nektarios, you've come a long way in a short imte. >> >> First, to tell your batery level, press control+F8 and arrow twice left.

Re: My first mac. Questions.
Thank you so much for the suggestion. I have been looking for a way to cleanly remove applications when the occasion arises. Do you find trashme to be very speech friendly? I haven't played with it extensively as of yet, but at least at first glance, there appeared to be some unlabeled checkboxes and I couldn't immediately understand how to use it.

Thanks, Rose. Is App Trap something that already exists on the mac, or does it have to be downloaded separately?

Re: My first mac. Questions.
Eric, Hmmm, interesting. Unfortunately, I personally do not have enough experience with Skype in particular to be of much more use on the subject. However, it is something I am interested in getting up and running soon. I will have to think about trying an older version in the meantime.

Resetting default settings in VoiceOver
Hello all. Wow, so okay. I have absolutely no idea what I did, but apparently I managed to hit some key combination that modified the way VoiceOver interacts with the Finder window, as well as Mail. I wish I could provide a better visual description of what is happening, but I'm afraid I don't quite understand it myself. Basically, rather than arrowing through the list of files or folders, I have to tab through the list. My husband, who is sighted, said it appears as if the cursor is moving from section to section of the window, as opposed to the next item in the list. However, when VoiceOver is turned off, things appear to operate as normal. Anyway, assuming nobody has any suggestions as to what in the world I may have done, and how to fix it, can anyone perhaps tell me how I might go about resetting my default settings for VoiceOver? That is, of course, if it can in fact be done. I suspect I must have pressed some key combination that triggered the change, but I have to admit it is becoming rather frustrating. I am using a macbookpro, Snow Leopard. Oh, and if it matters, I currently have my view set to listview, which is what I typically use... Thank you so much for any help you can offer!

Re: Resetting default settings in VoiceOver
Hi Wes, Thanks for the reply! Well, while I did successfully reset the default settings in VoiceOver, I was unable to correct the problem. Sigh. In any case, I am very grateful for your help! I should have known to check the menu bar inside of the VoiceOver Utilities window, but I suppose I feel so frazzled that I am not thinking very clearly. :-) There must be something off in Finder or window settings. I'll keep looking! Oh, I will say this much. Apparently, if I navigate to the actual list of files or folders, I can choose to interact with the list and can arrow among the items. Just never had to do this before. Jenny On Nov 6, 2010, at 10:06 PM, Wes Smith wrote: > Wes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Resetting default settings in VoiceOver
Thanks, Wes! Looks like the Keyboard shortcuts in the System Preferences is still set to allow access to everything. I also browsed through many of the other various settings, just to see if anything else jumped out at me. Didn't make any changes though. With regard to the problem I am having, I am apparently unable to expand a collapsed folder simply by hitting right-arrow. When I do press right-arrow, VoiceOver begins reading additional information about the folder, such as the date it was last modified, size,etc. I don't know, I am still trying to figure out exactly what is and is not happening at this point. :-) Jenny On Nov 6, 2010, at 10:36 PM, Wes Smith wrote: > OK..you also need to make sure that in system prefs under keyboard and > then under the keyboard shortcuts tab you need to have full keyboard access > to "all controls" and not just "text boxes and lists only."

Re: Resetting default settings in VoiceOver
Holy cow!!! You nailed it! I have no idea why this didn't occur to me.

I don't use quicknav very often at this point, so I guess that might explain why it didn't just jump to the forefront of my mind. It makes perfect sense now. LOL Although, I am a little surprised it did not get disabled when I restored the defaults within VoiceOver. In any case, thank you, everyone, for your help! Your suggestions always mean a great deal to me, because I always learn so much more about my mac while in the midst of troubleshooting. Yay, happy day!

Re: Resetting default settings in VoiceOver
Hi Eric, As you may have already read, I did finally manage to get things back to normal. :-) However, I do usually use listview. Do you find that the iconview is better?

Downloading folders from dropbox website
Good day all. I have just started playing with dropbox, so I am very new to this particular service. I understand that there are all kinds of accessibility issues with dropbox on Lion, but I am curious, if there is a way to download an entire folder from the website interface without sight? The instructions are most definitely geared toward the sighted, and I haven't been able to find a work around as of yet. I can manage to download individual files, but going about it this way will take an eternity I'm sure. As expected, I haven't been able to make heads or tails of the desktop app. I am running Lion, btw, with the latest updates. Thank you for any help you can offer! -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Downloading folders from dropbox website
Hi Paul. Thank you very much for the response! For some reason, I have never successfully setup dropbox on my mac, apparently. So, I scrapped all of the previous installation and installers, revisited dropbox.com and started fresh. This time, I did manage to make get through the setup process without a hitch. Dropbox is running, and my dropbox folder is created and ready for use. I think my only question at this point is, I still have a folder containing many files on the website. I would love to have them sync to my mac, or somehow retrieve them. They were placed there by another dropbox user who I had invited to access my new folder. However, I am unable to find a way to actually download them to my computer. As I say, dropbox is definitely running, but I don't see anything at all in the new dropbox folder. Does it perhaps take some time for this to happen?

Re: Downloading folders from dropbox website
Hi Patrick, thank you for taking the time to respond! No, I haven't tried placing anything in the folder myself, but I will do so at some point today. I finally got dropbox installed and setup this morning, so it hasn't been all that long. I had created a new shared folder via the website, and my friend uploaded about sixteen folders containing around 20 - 25 files each into the shared folder I had created. The shared folder I created on the website isn't even showing up under the dropbox folder on my machine. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Sep 27, 2011, at 10:46 AM, Patrick Neazer wrote: > Hello Jenny and all: > > I do not know how long it has been since you got dropbox installed and > running.

Re: Downloading folders from dropbox website
I had a feeling that might be the case. :-) Hmmm, unfortunately, either I am missing something, or there doesn't appear to be any obvious way to move files from one folder to another via the website. The reason I created the shared folder on the website itself, rather than on my own machine, is because from what I understand, there isn't a very voiceover-friendly way of accessing certain options, such as inviting someone to have access to a given folder or sending a link to someone for a specific file.

Re: Downloading folders from dropbox website
Hi Paul! Well, now that dropbox appears to be installed correctly, I will most definitely rely primarily on the dropbox folder on my mac. The only issue I am having currently, is retrieving files shared from a friend to the folder I created on the web. That folder doesn't show up on my mac for whatever reason. So, as a tedious work-around, I am downloading each individual file to my downloads folder, then moving them to the desired location. Mind you, these are files that were never on my own mac before, but rather shared from a friend. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Sep 27, 2011, at 1:37 PM, Paul Erkens wrote: > Hi Jenny, > You don't need to do anything via the website any more.

Re: Downloading folders from dropbox website
Hi Patrick, Paul & all. Okay, so I don't know exactly what happened, but after having removed and reinstalled the dropbox desktop app a number of times, my newly created shared folder and all of it's contents are suddenly showing up! I am completely beside myself here, thrilled, but baffled. The only difference in the process this time was selecting the Advanced setup verses the Typical setup, and having killed off the previous link to my account and recreating it. It didn't prompt me for any additional information after having chosen Advanced setup though. Interesting. So, I was able to view, or rather, listen, to your video with no problem. That's really my only other big hangup about using the desktop app, although the website is just as unaccessible, I am still not sure how I will go about sending a public link when the time comes. But I am so excited to finally see my files! ;-) Thank you guys, for your continued help! -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Sep 27, 2011, at 2:01 PM, Patrick Neazer wrote: > Hello Jenny and all: > > When installing dropbox you have the option of using the regular or advanced > setup options.

Skype
Hi all. It has been a little bit since I have seen much on the list about Skype, and I am curious...What is the consensus out there regarding the best version of Skype to download? As I recall, there were problems with some of the later versions of Skype on the mac, and it was recommended that folks download and install an older version. Is this still the case?

Re: Skype
Excellent, thanks! Got my prefs all set. Now, really stupid question time , is there any way to tell whether or not the camera is on and responding correctly? This is the first time I have attempted to connect this camera to this computer, and being new to the mac, I'm not sure what, if anything else, needs to be done. We have used it successfully in windows, but my husband set it up at that time.

"Here's your sign!" was Re: Skype
Okay, so first off, I would like to thank those who were kind enough to assist me with Skype. I managed to get it up and running successfully for the first time on this machine with your help. And yes, I did have a "Here's your sign!" moment. While I knew about the built-in microphone on the macbook pro, I did not however, realize that it also had a built-in camera! Honestly, I was never really interested in video chat until recently, and therefore, never would have thought to ask. LOL My husband enlightened me yesterday evening, and felt very silly for not having clued me in sooner. In any case, I feel like an idiot, but an idiot who is ready to play around with Skype! :-) -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Handbreak and backing up a Disney Movie
Hi Justin. I also would like to thank you for the information. My husband and I have noticed this problem ourselves, and the only work-around we could find was to simply use another program to copy the DVD. However, I must be missing something. I was able to determine which title is the correct one, but am unable to figure out exactly how to specify this in Handbreak. I click on the Source button, and select the DVD, but I can't seem to find out how to locate the title from there. If you have anymore suggestions, I would be very appreciative!

Re: Handbreak and backing up a Disney Movie
Thank you! I did finally manage to get things working. And just as I had suspected, it was my own ignorance stopping the show. :-) I am still in the process of becoming completely comfortable with voiceover, and learning when to tab verses using the VO modifier keys with the arrows to navigate. For some reason, I was looking for a pop-up button that said "title", as opposed to navigating such that the labels themselves were being read, not just the selection within the pop-up button. Anyway, it's all good now.

Selecting specific podcast episodes for download
Hi all! I hope everyone is well today! I am wondering if anybody might be able to enlighten me on downloading specific podcast episodes in iTunes. I am currently subscribed to four or five podcasts, but I am only interested in listening to a handful of the episodes available at this time. So, how does one go about selecting specific episodes to download? Or can it be done?

Converting sound files
Hello all! Since you fine folks are so incredibly smart about your macs , I thought I might consult with the experts first. What recommendations, if any, do you have with regard to converting sound files? For instance, I have an album of WMA files I would love to convert to MP3, but I'm not sure what the best way to go about this on the mac may be. I had a look around VLC, and it doesn't appear to have any utility that I found for converting files. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer! -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Using a Macbook/MacBook Pro as Primary Computer?
Hi Brianna, Welcome to the world of mac. :-) I am fairly new myself, going on about two months now with my new macbook pro. I dove right in with both feet, forcing myself to find ways of doing most things on the mac, otherwise I knew I would be much more likely to do what was easiest--use windows, since it was what I was familiar with. I know myself too well, what can I say. I have found that I use my mac 98% of the time now, but I have recognized those few things I still prefer to do in windows, such as scanning books or documents. I am still rather fond of my K1000, I admit it. There are also a couple of games I still play in windows, as they are not available for the mac at this time. So I guess in a nut shell, I definitely use my mac as my primary computer. Of course, with most anything, each person has their own preferences and needs in life. What works for one won't necessarily work for all. I know there are a good many others on this list who have made the switch to mac for their primary computer, while others find that their needs are best met by a somewhat different mix of windows and mac use. With regard to the battery, I shouldn't think you are doing your battery any harm at all by allowing it to run down consistently, especially if you are allowing it to receive a full charge on a regular basis. In many cases, this can actually be good for the battery. Unfortunately, I am not overly familiar with the battery on the macbook pro, so can't really speak as to the recommended maintenance or overall lifespan of the battery. I am sure others on this list can help fill in the gaps. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Dec 22, 2010, at 8:51 PM, Brianna Snyder wrote: > Hi, > > I just got my MacBook Pro about a month and a half ago.

Re: ical question
Hi there. I am not fully adept at customizing iCal myself at this point, but can work it well enough to make good use of it anyway. To create an event, just press command-n, and then press command-E to edit the new event. There, you can give it a title, location, date/time, set alarms, etc. Just tab to Done when you are through, and the new event will automatically sort itself into the correct place on your calendar. Just a quick note from my own experience, when tabbing through the Edit Event box, the list boxes for the month, date, year and time do not read automatically. Once I tab to a field that doesn't read, I just use my arrow keys to get voiceover to announce the highlighted selection in the list. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Dec 30, 2010, at 10:16 PM, denise avant wrote: > hi all, > i wanted to try my hand at ical, but do not see the box where you enter the > beginning and ending time for appointments. as for the settings i switched to > the day view as opposed to the week view. are there any other settings i > should change to more effectively use ical? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionar...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Hackintosh, is it legal?
Hi Brandt, I suppose that all depends on exactly how you define legal. In any case, I think the biggest drawbacks in my own experience, is the lack of support and inability to update the OS. However, if you possess rather stellar skills at compiling and hacking, you might just be able to get around that. Much of the basics of mac and VO operation I learned on a hackintosh, but was relieved to finally purchase a legitimate Apple computer. As far as setting one up, I'm afraid I can't help you much there. We inherited ours. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Dec 31, 2010, at 1:53 AM, Rob Lambert wrote: > From what I hear, they are buggy, and you don't get full Apple support in > terms of the OS.

Re: Very annoying "Safari Busy" message
I haven't found anything to consistently work around the "See more stories" link. However, several times I have clicked on it, then began reading back and forth a bit with vo+right or left arrows, and magically, it will begin reading more stories. Although, it doesn't work every time for me, and toggling vo off and back on again doesn't seem to have the same effect. I'll just have to keep playing with it. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Mar 5, 2011, at 6:17 AM, Ray Foret Jr wrote: > I noticed the very same thing just last night myself. > > > Sincerely, > The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! > > Now a very proud and happy Mac user!!! > Skype name: > barefootedray > > Facebook: > facebook.com/ray.foretjr.1 > > On Mar 4, 2011, at 8:34 PM, Jenny Wood wrote: > >> Not that it is a great fix, but I have found that when I click on the >> "comments" link, then toggle voiceover off and back on again with >> command+F5, I can add a comment as normal.

One question, and I do intend to read through some of the README's as I get time, but is there any way to play against the computer rather than other people? I would love to get some good practice in before throwing myself to the wolves.

Re: How To Read iBooks on Mac
Mark, Funny, my husband and I were just asking ourselves this very question the other night. :-) To the best of my knowledge, iBooks is not yet available for the mac. However, depending on the format of the book you wish to read, you may be able to use another third-party program to read your E-books. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Apr 4, 2011, at 8:05 AM, M.

Re: How To Read iBooks on Mac
Oh, I don't know. I think it would be kinda nice to have iBooks on the mac. It never hurts to make a suggestion for something you have an interest in. I'm sure Apple will decide whether or not the idea is popular enough to consider adding in future updates. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Apr 4, 2011, at 6:43 PM, M.

Apple TV and streaming movies
Good day all! Okay, so my husband and I just purchased a new Apple TV, and so far, we love it! Streaming Netflix is absolutely awesome, and I love having so many choices of streaming internet radio stations to listen to. My question though, is concerning movies. Can one stream movies using airplay from an iTunes library on another machine? More specifically, can you stream movies that are not necessarily purchased from the iTunes store? We have a lot of movies that are currently in a format compatible with the iPod/iPhone, but when we attempt to view the list of movies using the Apple TV, it says it is unable to connect to movies in our library. It can access the music with no problem. Thank you in advance for any assistance you have to offer. :-) -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Apple TV and streaming movies
Hi there. Thank you so very much for the response! Actually, we had already enabled homesharing and were able to see our music, but for some reason the movies were not available. Strangely enough though, after my husband converted another movie to the appropriate format and added it to our library, all of the other movies suddenly showed up. We have no idea what happened there, but I suppose I won't sweat it so long as it works. :-) So now we have our family library setup on a desktop with all of our movies and music, able to stream to the Apple TV, iPods or iPhones. I have a feeling this little device will more than pay for itself in short order.

Re: Apple TV and streaming movies
Um, actually, we use handbrake to rip DVD's. So far, this has been the easiest, most reliable method of copying movies onto the hard drive for us. We simply leave handbrake's settings set to the defaults, except for optimizing the output file for iPod/iPhones. Although, I think it may even have a setting to optimize the file for the AppleTV, but don't recall for sure. So far, all of the movies in our collection stream beautifully via the AppleTV. My apologies, I don't have much experience with many other DVD ripping applications. We have just stuck with what works for us. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Apr 26, 2011, at 2:09 PM, Michael Thurman wrote: > a silly question but what do you use to get your movies into a form that can > be share don your network to the apple ios divices? > handbrake is a joke from what I have seen and he last vd i tried to rip with > dvd shrink was garbage with no audio > mac the ripper gave the same results but I odn't know what I'm doing with > either mac the ripper or handbrake how ever you spell it lol so it could be > my fault it would be nice to be able to listen to my discs without having to > handle media > thanks > michael > you can write me off list if you prefer :) > > On Apr 23, 2011, at 4:22 PM, Jenny Wood wrote: > >> Hi there.

Re: Apple TV and streaming movies
Stating the obvious of course, but the size will vary from movie to movie. I just recently ripped the movie Tangled for instance, and it came out to be 889.5MB. I have had other movies come out to be a little more and others were a little less. I'm sure there are probably other programs out there that are more efficient at shrinking the file size down a bit, but we just went with what we had and what worked for now. I would certainly be open to suggestions. :-) BTW, our movies are all in M4V format. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Apr 26, 2011, at 4:20 PM, Kliph&Sharrie wrote: > How big does handbreak make the files when you rip them? > > -Original Message- > From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jenny Wood > Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2011 3:10 PM > To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: Apple TV and streaming movies > > Um, actually, we use handbrake to rip DVD's.

Re: Accessible Weather Radio App for iOS devices
Hi there, and thanks for the info on this app. I have already purchased and installed it. However, I am a little baffled as to what the media partner is. I am assuming this is referring to access to local stations? I was browsing through the FAQ and it mentioned that if you wish to change your media partner, then you would need to completely uninstall and reinstall the app. Any idea what this is and how you go about changing it? I'm not even sure if I have a media partner selected.

Re: For those who can actually afford this, DocuScan Plus is now on the mac app store.
Well, I just downloaded and installed the demo. So far, I like it. I did forget that I had not yet installed the drivers for my flatbed scanner on the mac portion of my macbook pro, so when I attempted to scan for the first time, DocuScan defaulted to using the built-in webcam. However, once I properly installed the scanner, it gave me the choice between the webcam and my scanner. The recognition process took slightly longer than my K1000 typically does, but the quality was actually slightly better. Guess it's a trade-off. In any case, I am loving it so far. I need to play around with it a bit to figure out how to edit and convert files, etc. I will be interested to hear what others think of this product. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Apr 29, 2011, at 8:35 AM, Ashley Cox wrote: > is there a scanner solution out there that can use the mac's webcam? > > > On 29/04/2011 12:02, Scott Howell wrote: >> Hey Chris, I was only kidding about the camera.

Well, and at least in my own experience, it's terribly cumbersome to get a paper oriented just right before taking a picture.

Re: For those who can actually afford this, DocuScan Plus is now on the mac app store.
Oh, I knew right off the bat what the delay was about, no worries. However, the one consistent hangup I am seeing so far is with scanning multiple pages. For instance, the first page scans beautifully, but when scanning any subsequent pages, Docuscan just hangs indefinitely while processing the page until I eventually close the window with cmd+w. And, sure thing, I will be sure to have a good look at the help file.

This problem occurs when using simple scan. I haven't been saving the file, but simply clicking on the "Scan next page" button.

Re: For those who can actually afford this, DocuScan Plus is now on the mac app store.
Hi Mary, Actually, I downloaded my demo directly from the app store. Upon seeing the note about the release on this list, I visited the app store on my mac, performed a search for "docuscan", and it pulled up Docuscan Plus right away. It's listed as free. Just as on the iPhone, it installs the app for you. When you run the program for the first time, it will prompt you to enter your account information, and if you don't have an account yet, to sign up for one. It also has a "learn more" button to click on in order to well, learn more about creating an account and starting the seven-day free trial. I am also an avid K1000 user but I have to admit I can't stand the fact I have to boot back into windows just to scan the mail every day. And of course, as a matter of convenience, I have to think about whether or not there is anything else I need to get scanned before booting back into OSX. It's not so much I am trying to be a "hater" when it comes to windows, but rather, I love my mac and use it for everything *but* scanning. If Docuscan will accomplish my needs, it will be well worth the money. Although, one question I just came up with while playing with it, can it scan two pages at a time like K1000? This is something I am experimenting with as we speak. :-) This is one feature of K1000 I get a lot of use out of. I would highly recommend giving it a try though. Whether or not you purchase it in the end, it costs nothing to take a test drive for the first seven days. I figured I would bang it around quite a bit before making the decision myself. After all, money trees are not in season right now! -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Apr 29, 2011, at 11:03 AM, Mary Otten wrote: > Hi Jenny, > Did you get the demo from serotalk?

Re: For those who can actually afford this, DocuScan Plus is now on the mac app store.
Oh, and I would probably do what you can to ensure your scanner is up and running properly before getting started with the seven-day trial. This will ensure you get the most out of your demo. I made that mistake with Abby Fine Reader before. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Apr 29, 2011, at 11:03 AM, Mary Otten wrote: > Hi Jenny, > Did you get the demo from serotalk?

Oh wow, I didn't realize the updates would be available at no extra cost. That's certainly something, anyway.

Re: For those who can actually afford this, DocuScan Plus is now on the mac app store.
Well, just to be sure one thing is clear, you can save your files on to your local hard drive. Now having said that, it would be nice to have the choice where recognition is concerned. Honestly, my biggest complaint about the cloud approach is the time it takes to send the data to the server, recognize and send it back to the machine. But then, my computer is nearly always connected to the internet and I still have K1000 as a backup if necessary. The lack of internet would definitely be a show-stopper for some folks. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Apr 29, 2011, at 12:35 PM, Scott Howell wrote: > Ashley, I'd like to see the ability to scan/store locally as well as the > cloud perhaps; however, I concur with your comments.

Re: For those who can actually afford this, DocuScan Plus is now on the mac app store.
After having played with this some more, I can definitely say that performing multiple scans seems to work fine when using autoread. The simple scan is very inconsistent when using the "Scan next page" button", but once I close that window and start a new simple scan, it works fine, just tedious, that's all. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Apr 29, 2011, at 12:20 PM, Christopher Peppel wrote: > Hi Mary, > > Other then having a possible problem scanning the second page in simple scan, > it works great.

When you open the program for the first time, there will be a "Learn more" button you can access to get more information about how the seven-day trial works and details about the program itself. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Apr 29, 2011, at 12:08 PM, Krister Ekstrom wrote: > I don't get this at all, in the swedish app store they say Docuscan plus is > free, is there a "hidden" cost somewhere or what gives? > /Krister > 29 apr 2011 kl. 14.46 skrev Matthew Campbell: > >> Hi. >> Seems a little pricy to me as a college student who doesn't have any funding >> that's all. >> On 2011-04-28, at 11:25 PM, Christopher Peppel wrote: >> >>> Hi Matt, >>> >>> Thanks so much for the message.

Re: For those who can actually afford this, DocuScan Plus is now on the mac app store.
I suppose that all depends on your own personal definition of "fast", but I can tell you that my Canoscan 8800F works very well. It scans relatively fast, in my humble opinion. :-) -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Apr 29, 2011, at 2:06 PM, Cakes wrote: > Hi all, > > Does anyone know what fast scanners work with the Mac? > > Johnny > > On 4/29/2011 8:09 AM, Mike Arrigo wrote: >> It works with scanners as well, assuming your scanner works with the mac, >> unfortnately a lot of scanners don't, but if yours does, you should be good >> to go. >> On Apr 29, 2011, at 12:48 AM, Kevin Reeves wrote: >> >>> Hey folks.

Re: For those who can actually afford this, DocuScan Plus is now on the mac app store.
Hi Mary, Actually, the text of the scan is presented in an html content format, just as it might be presented in Safari. Therefore, it does appear to display tables okay, as far as I can tell for now. I need to find a bill or something around here I can scan and read just to verify that, but a couple of pieces of mail I scanned earlier did have tables to interact with. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Apr 29, 2011, at 11:57 AM, Mary Otten wrote: > Thanks a lot, Jenny.
