Re: Mac mini with M1 chip and questions
You can use windows on an M1 Mac mini. The only way I found to do this is to download a program called UTM. You then need to get an ISO image of Windows 11, the version of Windows that seems to run on ARM processors, and install that into UTM. The setup was a little bit tricky, but definitely doable. I also use my Mac mini without a monitor. The only issue I had in setting it up was the requirement that I needed a mouse or a trackpad. If you don’t plan on using one long-term, you could always buy a trackpad, use it for set up, and take advantage of Apple‘s 14 day return policy to return the trackpad. However, if you ever need to boot into the recovery partition for any reason, you will need the trackpad, so it might just be best to keep the trackpad in case you ever need it again. Hope that helps!

extracting audio from DVDs?
Hi guys: I'm wondering what are people's preferences for extracting audio from DVDs? I'm thinking physical discs, but I also have some iso files of DVDs as well. I used DVD audio extractor bakc in the days of windows, but I recall finding the mac version less than accessible. Free solutions are, of course, amazing. However, at this point I just want to trim these things down in size considerably when they're living on my hard drive. As long as it's not a recurring payment or an overly expensive one, I'll take those suggestions too. Thanks in advance, guys! DFTBA! John D.

Re: program to batch extract audio from video files?
Cameron: I use a program called Adapter. It's done a great job of this in every scenario I've tested it with. Simply do a google search for adapter converter for mac. I think that's how I found it, at least. One note: The button to start the conversion isn't actually labeled. It's the very last button, directly to the left of a checkbox, which is the bottom most element in the window. The only thing this doesn't do is delete the video files when it's done. Deleting those after is a simple enough task however, unless someone knows of a way to have it convert and delete. Let me know if you have questions about this program at all. DFTBA! John D.

Re: program to batch extract audio from video files?
You don't really need any of the buttons as far as I can tell. The things to change the format you're saving to and the bitrate, etc are all in a scroll areal to the right of the brouse button and table where the files you've added for conversion appear. The only button you need is the button I mentioned earlier, that actually starts the conversion. DFTBA! John D.

yosemite strangeness
Hi list: I'm almost ready to bite the bullet and upgrade my mac to Yosemite. However, the strangest thing is stopping me. I've observed it on 3 machines at various places, but people don't seem to confirm that it's a thing. Note: The below behavior is unique to the standard view in mail, which I prefer. It doesn't seem to happen in classic layout. In Mavericks, the mailboxes list, which I use quite frequently, is just a couple of items off to the left of the messages column view once you stop interacting with the messages column. However, in Yosemite, it's a good 4 or so items to the right. Visually, it seems it hasn't changed at all, but voiceover seems to think moving to the right is now a good way to get to the mailboxes list, even though visually it's still off to the left. This is enough to drive me batty, and the only thing really stopping me from upgrading. Is there a workaround for this incredibly odd behavior? I can probably learn to live with it, and I know I could do voiceover command T to jump to the table, but that's kind of an awkward keystroke on a laptop, for me personally. Thanks in advance for any insights into this. DFTBA! John D.

Re: Major frustrations and a big predicament
One wonders why they would make it so you can’t DFU your device back to the last nonbeta release of iOS. I was going to renew my developer membership and test 9, but if I can’t downgrade to a stable release for my day to day use, and jsut beta when I have time for that task specifically, I don’t think I’ll reenroll this year.

As far as I understand it, messages and chat for facebook are essentially the same thing. If you chat someone and they’re offline, it shows up in their messages for them to view later and respond to as they wish. If you’re both online, you can chat with each other in real time. HTH.

Re: Bull crap about I O S 9, and no, I'm not breaking NDA.
No, when you install the beta version of iOS anything, it’s just like installing a public nonbeta release. You can install it without removing any content, as long as you choose to update to, rather than restore to the beta version. The only time you have to erase the device is if you wish to downgrade from the beta back to the current publically available version. Hope that helps. DFTBA! John D.

looking for a virtual machine
Hi list: Not sure anyone can help me with this, as it’s kind of an unusual request, but here goes. My girlfriend has a MacBook Air, 13 inch from last year. She’s comfortable doing most things on her mac, but is going off to grad school this year. Her school’s disabilities services department is familiar with JAWS and windows, but has no familiarity with Voiceover and OSX. One of the primary programs they use for her grad work they tell her works brilliantly under windows with JAWS, but no clue about Mac accessibility. They’re trying to get her a copy to test, but just in case. The only virtual machine I have available is an XP machine that works great for mudding and Quenton C’s playroom, but web browsing is painful on it (I never do it so never bothered to even see if it was really doable). She would like a Windows 7 machine. I suppose I could go around and try to build her one, but if someone happens to have one already created and would be willing to share, that would be ideal. If you like, you may write me off list about this at johnl1...@gmail.com, so we dont’ clutter the list with traffic that isn’t really related to the primary purpose of this list. Thanks in advance!

Re: It's finally here, a comprehensive guide to Pages on the Mac with VoiceOver
I see both sides of this argument. On the one hand, having such a comprehensive resource freely available means that it can be given to as wide of an audience as humanly possible. However, I’m sure putting a book like this together is no simple task. It probably requires a lot of time—time that the author could be using to do other things for themselves and or their family. I have no problem compensating somebody for something as long as it’s well researched and full of useful knowledge. Also, as a person who has as one of his duties teaching Mac OS with Voiceover to clients, I’m more than willing to grab this book and encorporate some of its information into training sessions as appropriate. Also, even though $35 may seem like a lot of money—indeed it certainly may be for many people—it’s not, in the grand scheme of things, a bad price. I could see a book like this priced at or above $100, though I’ve come to expect reasonable prices from Mosen Consulting, and would be shocked if they ever tried to charge that much for this knowledge. That’s all. Back to silently observing I go. DFTBA! John D.

strange behavior since update to IOS
Hi all: Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this, and could possibly know what's causing it. I installed the latest IOS7 update last night on my iPhone 5. Since the update, I've noticed that Voiceover now gives me to "Screen locked." messages. One is, as expected, almost immediately after I lock the phone. The other is delayed about 9-10 seconds. I've learned that, in order to reproduce this issue, the phone actually has to be unlocked. Simply looking at a notification on the lock screen, or hitting home to check the time and then letting the screen lock doesn't produce the same issue. Anybody else? Any solutions for a fix?

upgrading, downgrading, choices oh my!
Hey all: I'm considering upgrading my 2010 Macbook from Lion to Mavericks. Various people have told me my little old macbook should support the upgrade well enough, and it may run the new OS better than Lion. If this is not the case, or if I'm just ridiculously dissatisfied with mail and GMail, how easy is it to downgrade? Are there step-by-step instructions on downgrading somewhere? Also and somewhat related, I'm planning on giving this macbook to my brother once I purchase a new macbook air. What is the easiest way to remove all of my content, so my brother essentially gets a new machine with an OS on it?

issue with messages
Hi all: This is my second day running Mavericks on a brand new 13 inch MacBook air. So far, with the exception I'm about to mention, I'm enjoying Mavericks! Every time I go into messages and try to start an iMessage conversation, I get the following message: " is not registered with iMessage." I know for a fact that these people use iMessage, because I message them on my phone regularly. Is there a fix for this issue? Thanks in advance for any assistance with this matter.

emogees break Voiceover

missing some mail. Is this still a thing?
Hi guys: I checked my mail on my iPhone yesterday. I saved a message with some content that I would prefer to access on my mac. I came home last night, hopped on my mac, and no message. A bunch of new message came in, but the one I left in my inbox never pulled into my mac. My gmail is set up to use imap, so the message should have still been on the server as far as I can tell.

Re: 10.9.1 Disappointing
I second Jonathan's opinion, at least with regards to the mail messages in conversation issue. Also, I was hoping they would fix this VO not speaking when you wake up the mac issue. Sadly, this remains for me. Unfortunately, all of those messages about dealing with that were posted before I got my new computer, so I didn't take much note of them. If anyone could compile some tips and tricks to get VO back after the computer wakes up, that would be most appreciated. I can always restart the machine, and always have so far, but if I can avoid that it would be amazing.

very strange, annoying and frustrating audio issue
Hi guys: This just started today, and it's most frustrating!! I'm going to make a genius bar appointment Saturday, but if anyone has a fix before then I'll gladly take it! I noticed, starting this afternoon for seemingly no reason, strange audio artifacts popping up in my headphones. This only happens when using headphones, any headphones, in my headphone jack. I don't see the issue through speakers in the MacBook or in USB headsets. A restart hasn't help the issue. While I don't mind using USB headsets, I like to keep my options as open as possible. It's hard to explain exactly what these artifacts are, but I notice them most of all when there are system sounds, the voiceover clicks, etc. They don't seem to appear during actual voiceover speech if that's all there is to hear. They're strange hissing noises, some of which remind me of badly tuned radios. Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

possible solution to the voiceover problem
Hi guys: None of the solutions to no voiceover when waking my mac seem to work reliably. So, on the advice of a friend who found this tip on a forum (no audio after waking isn't unique to the voiceover community) I tried the following. Note: This may have been offered as a solution before, and i don't know why it works, but here it is. Further note: I've only tried this twice so far, but it worked 100 percent of the time as of this writing. Simply go into system preferences. Under the energy preferences category, uncheck the box that says put hard disks to sleep when possible. That's it. Curious to know if this works for others, and even more curious to know why this seems to solve the problem. Thanks! DFTBA! John D.

I tend to go with self help. I often check out the VO-H command menus reading the command descriptions to see what I can do. I also look in the VO Utility application where you can assign actions to keys and see and control verbosity. I was using VO before the trackpad commander, so I tend to use the keyboard commands exclusively. If you are a trackpad user, look into the commander functions, or the Numpad commander functions, and use both keyboard and trackpad to your advantage. There's a lot of customizations you can make within the VO Utility. I think my favorite command beyond the basics is simply the VO Shift C, copy last phrase spoken to the clipboard. And the second most useful command I tend to use is the move mouse cursor to voiceover cursor with VO Command F5. I tend to use that for working around voiceover issues with the contextual menus or a stubborn button that won't activate. So, at that point I will use the mouse button like any sighted user would. Another fun game to play is to enable keyboard help, with VO K, and then just hit keys with the VO controls down to hear what they do. Be sure to use all the modifier combinations. And the other important thing is to ask the list if there is an easier way to do something that annoys you. Odds are, there probably is, and you'll get the answer here.

sharing activities?
Hi all: Now that I'm using activities more, I'm loving the value they have in increasing my productivity in certain things. This got me to thinking. It's easy enough for me to tell somebody how to create an activity if i find one particularly useful, but it would be nice if I could just give them a file and let them have all of the activities I use if our needs align enough for that to be a viable thing. Is sharing activities even possible? Or should I just guide people through the steps to recreate my activities if they wish to. Thanks.

Re: Truly bizarre problems; can't figure out if it's my MacBook, my iPhone, or Both

That's where I'd start with for repairs, at least.

question about restoring iPhone from iTunes
Hi all: Quite recently, today in fact, I had opportunity to DFU my phone. As you may be aware, this resets the phone to factory defaults, installs the current public version of iOS, and makes you restore the phone from a backup. No problem, I backed up today before this became an issue, so all was good. However, when I restored, all of my folders came over, contents exactly where they should be, but I had 4 pages of apps instead of the 2 I had when I made the backup. It turns out the iTunes library has a bunch of apps I installed previously on my phone but have since uninstalled. So once the backup was restored, I was then also given all of the apps I didn't want on my phone any more. Is there a way to make iTunes only restore the apps in a particular backup? I could have restored from iCloud and just had the apps that were on my phone, but this method seemed like it was going to be faster and it probably was. However, deleting 2 pages worth of apps wasn't how I wanted to spend a few minutes of my time this afternoon. Thanks in advance for any help/input. Best, -John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

some of my VO settings were lost. Help?
Hi all: I had to take my mac in recently for a genius bar appointment. It was necessary to erase my computer and start from scratch. I had a time machine backup, so I thought all was good. I was wrong!! Most things came over perfectly fine, except some random voiceover settings. Whenever I arrow through the dock, or a list of files/folders, voiceover announces 1 of 12, 5 of 66, etc. It never used to do this. I'm sure I changed it somewhere, but can't for the life of me recall how I got voiceover to stop making these announcements. Also, the 3 message colappsed disclosure triangle message is back in mail, even though I've set verbosity to high. Am I missing a step somewhere? Additionally, though this isn't a voiceover specific thing, my notification center preferences don't seem to have been retained from the backup, for some reason.

Re: yorufukurou question
Hello: I often find that VO and YoruFukurou don't always work in perfect sync. It is, therefore, sometimes necessary to command tab out of and back into YoruFukurou in order for the drawer contents to accurately reflect what you should be seeing.

screen curtain
Hello! I enable my screen curtain because A: I don't like people being able to look over my shoulder while I'm using my computer, and B: I assume that it saves a bit of battery power. However, I was under the impression that the screen curtain would behave like it does on the IPhone and reactivate whenever I turn on voiceover or my computer. Should this in fact be the case? Or is it normal to have to restart the screen curtain each time you restart voiceover/the computer?

VMWare issue
Hi list. I recently installed VMWare fusion on my MacBook so I can run Windows XP if I ever need to. Installing VMWare was easy enough. I then located an XP install CD in my basement. I'm not sure how long we've had it kicking around here, but from all I could tell the disk was in working order. I inserted the Disk and brought up Fusion. It seemed to be working perfectly until I hit save. Then the CD drive did its thing for a minute before VMWare yelled at me that there was no bootable media detected.

Re: VMWare issue

mail and contacts

VMWare, Skype and a soundcard issue
Hi all, I'm running VMWare fusion 3.1.1, I believe it is, but this problem was occurring even with my older version of Fusion. I'm running Windows XP on the virtual machine, if that matters. I've tested several hypotheses, and have reached the conclusion that Skype is my culprit. Here's the problem. If I'm running fusion, and am on Skype with someone on my mac side, every once in a while the sound card starts making funny sounds. This lasts for a few seconds before all of the sound is completely gone. I can fix the issue by simply putting my computer to sleep and then bringing it back up, but this will naturally kill anything I may be doing on the windows side. This happens regardless of whether VoiceOver is on or not, so it has to be some kind of issue between Skype's using the sound-card and windows also trying to use the sound card. I think. Thoughts?

Skype and FB still no go
Hi all: I got Skype connected to my facebook account, but it still only shows 1 person online from facebook if I'm lucky. Consulting the mobile site tells me I should have at least 50 people online. I'm not sure what facebook broke, but my Skype, Adium and Miranda are now all unable to accurately show my facebook contact list. I'm frustrated, but it's still good to know I'm not alone. Here's hoping we get a fix of some kind soon. Though I do wonder why this seems to effect some of us but not all. -John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

still no FB chat for me
I've updated Adium, and I still have no better luck with facebook chat than I've been having all week. I'm about ready to give up on this, but I refuse to bow to Facebook and just use the website for chatting when adium presents a much cleaner, simpler interface. If anyone did anything before it just started working again, I'd be delighted to know what that was.

best antivirus for mac?
Hi list: I've been nomail on the list for absolute ages, and so if the topic came up in a recent thread I apologize. I want to put some antivirus software on my mac. Some would say that viruses are less likely to infect my mac, but I say I'd rather be prepared. I want something that's awesome at doing its job and is accessible with VO. 100 percent accessibility is ideal, but if it has some things that are strange but I can still do what I need to do so the protection of my computer is assured then I'm happy.

selecting a part of a track in amadeus pro
Hi all: Back in the days of windows, I used goldwave for all my audio editing needs. Now I'm plunging into Amadeus pro. One of the things I loved about goldwave was how easy it was to select part of a track for copying/pasting, deleting, etc. I could just use my left and right brackets and bam, start and end markers were placed around the portion of the file I wanted selected then I could only work with that part of the file. Is this able to somehow be accomplished in amadeus pro? Wow, my grammar sucks! :) Thanks in advance for help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

CD burning options on the Mac and another Amadeus question
Hi all: I want to burn several audio CD's. What is the best way to go about actually accomplishing this task? Someone suggested ITunes, but even if this is an option I don't really want to do that. I don't want to have to import the songs into my ITunes library, burn them, and then have to remove them again later. I want to just keep everything on my external. Also, has anyone successfully performed batch processing with Amadeus? AS I recall, it wants you to drag and drop files to add to the batch. Another work around, or step by step instructions on how to accomplish this task would be appreciated. Though if I can avoid dragging stuff around I'd prefer that. Thanks again all for the help. Soon I plan on asking less and helping more. :) -John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Can keyboard only navigation ever be...
Quicknav allows you to use one hand. I almost never turn quicknav off, unless I'm working in a program where I need my arrow keys to function as arrow keys, such as Amadeus Pro. Quicknav is kind of like locking the VO keys, but it only applies to the arrow keys, enabling you to still enter text in edit fields and such. Hope this is somewhat helpful.

last question of the day converting avi to ogg?
Hi all: I have several avi files that I'd like to convert to ogg, hence my question earlier about batch processing. However, it appears that Amadeus won't open avi files. Therefore, I'd like some recommendations of alternatives. Preferably something that will do batch processing, but that's not entirely necessary... I can convert each file one at a time if I must, but there are over 40 of them. Thanks again. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

upgrading ram and VM fusion
Hi list: Firstly, this is part of a long-term plan to go into broadcasting. It's just going to be easier, as far as I can tell, to broadcast on a virtual machine. My macbook has just the base 2 gigs of RAM. I want 4, as I believe that'ss the most it can support. So, firstly, is it worth paying to have someone install the RAM for me? I don't want to break my mac, obviously, but if it's going to be scary expensive I could probably find a techy friend to do it for me. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, how do I tell fusion to use more ram than its default? After all, there's no sense in upgrading the ram and then letting fusion use its default amount of memory.

I installed a little program that somehow enabled it to work. I don't recall what this program is called, nor do I know where it resides on my mac. If I did, I'd remove it and try reinstalling it.

The only reason I know this is because I have one hourly news and one or two daily podcasts that haven't updated in the last several days. The only way I've found to fix this is to unsubscribe and resubscribe to all of my podcasts. Anybody know why this keeps happening? I'm seriously considering looking into alternatives to ITunes for my podcasts, seeing as I never sync them with my phone anyway and just listen to them locally. So, if this problem continues and nobody knows how to fix it, I'm also open to any alternative podcatchers anyone can suggest.

turning on/off video in a call in new skype beta
This is what I'm trying to do. If there's a way to do it while in a call, it's sure not obvious to me. Any help would be great. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com.

Re: first impressions of the new Skype
Ray: To read someone's profile, you perform the following steps. Interact with the table that shows your contacts. Then, arrow to the contact you want. While still interacting with the table, bring up the context menu for the contact you're interested in with VO-Shift-M. Then, arrow to the item that says "view profile". I think that's what it says, anyway. Hope that helps. I'm still trying to figure out how to turn on/off my webcam while within a call. I used to be able to do it in the current non-beta version of skype, but havne't found any way to do this from the beta. Take care. -John On Jan 31, 2011, at 2:11 PM, Ray Foret Jr wrote: > Hi, > > Just thought I'd come in and give my first impressions of the new Skype. for > the most part, I reckon it seems to work well enough.

adium and adding contacts?
Hi guys: I've been using Adium forever, well since I got my mac, and am over all happy with it. Recently, I've tried to add three people to MSN messenger. One with a hotmail, and two with non-SN addresses. That is they're not associated with hotmail, live.com, etc. In all three cases, I was unable to add them. One of them was able to add me, but the others weren't. All I know for sure is I'm not the only person having this issue. One of the people I'm trying to add is using Miranda on a windows machine. I'm not sure if that would make a difference or not, but just figured I'd throw it out there. Any assistance in this matter would be awesome. Thanks. -John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com.

Re: adium and adding contacts?
I went to add contact, chose msn, and entered the email address. I then got the send authorization request thing, or whatever that says. I then received the following: Unable to add the buddy because the username is invalid. Usernames must be valid email addresses. That's all I get.

getting started with navigon
Hi all: I just purchased navigon. I want to explore the app for myself, and have no specific questions at the moment. But if anyone has any generally useful tips/tricks, or a basic kind of getting started guide, VO specific would be nice but not mandatory, that'd be awesome. I plan on taking it out into the city and playing with it's full functionality tomorrow. After all, within these four walls, I can only do so much. TIA for any suggestions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com.

Blinkx remote?
Hi list: Has anyone ever used Blinkx Remote? I find the majority of its interface fairly self-explanatory, but I'm about to bang my head into a wall in frustration at one thing in particular. Selecting a TV show, season and episode is very straight forward. Then, Blinkxs asks me where I want to watch the episode. I pick a website, then the fun starts. A blinkx page loads that tells me I'm about to visit a third-party site. It then tells me to click continue, or proceed, or... whatever it calls it. I can't for the life of me get voiceover to show me this text that's clickable or a link or button. I'm sure it's there on the page, or I wouldn't be asked to click it, but I'm not seeing it. I can't click on the word "continue" in the text box that says to click it, and a voiceover find yields no other instances of this text. Tabbing around doesn't show me a button to click, and... I'm not liking it. The rest of the website/process is terribly straight forward, so why can't the final step be as well? TIA for any help. -John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com.

I broke click to flash!
Hi guys! I was having issues with click to flash today. Ever since I got home, I would click on flash videos, then interact with the thing adn click play on click to flash, and there was no audio. I checked for an update, sure enough there was one. The update, however, broke click to flash. I now think flash loads automatically, I can't find a way to stop it, and the play, back 30 seconds button, etc are no longer visible to voiceover. I'd either like to revert back to the old version of click to flash, or find some other alternative program.

Re: Pndora and VO?
Stupid question! I've installed and labeled the buttons, but... once you interact with stations table while a station is playing, how the heck do you switch stations? This is my perplexed face.

Re: Pndora and VO?
Interesting! Using the track pad doesn't even seem to work for me. This is potentially bad.
