adding audio and WMA to itunes
Hi, I have something I've downloaded to my Mac, it is an MP3 file, I would like to put it onto my iphone to listen to on the go, how do I get it from downloads into ITunes and then get it to sync to my phone? Also, I have a CD with WMA files on which someone made me, again, I want to put them onto my Iphone, but I can't either listen to them on my Mac or transfer them. Can I change their format? How can I get them to play? How can I get them to transfer to Itunes and thus play on my Iphone too?

OT wiping a shuffle
Hi all, slightly off topic. I need to reset my iPod shuffle and switch off vo so I can pass it onto someone else. How do I go about it?

navigation and formatting questions
Hi all, I ask the below questions because I can find no answer in the keyboard help, the VO help or the Pages help. Though I'm sure they're there somewhere, I'm just not looking in the right place. 1. General navigation question: Where are the page up/down and home/end keys located on the MBP keyboard? 2. A pages specific question: how do I insert bullet point markers? Many thanks. Kirsten. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: navigation and formatting questions
Thanks very much Chris. I shall try out the bullet points thing and see if it works for me. Really I was looking for like how in word for Windows you can write your list, then select it and then select bullet points. With your command here, do I need to do that before I write each part of the list, or if I select them and then press the command will that make them all bullets? Thanks. Kirsten.

Tips for reading PDF documents on the Mac
Hi all, A few weeks ago, someone asked what was the best way of reading PDFs. I gave some vague response, and though I can't remember who asked, I know it comes up quite often, so, below I list more specific steps. I hope they help whoever wanted to know. 1. Find your document in your folder system. 2. Press VO-M and navigate to the File menu. 3. Go down to the Open With menu. 4. Arrow right and then down to Safari. 5. Leave the document to open-this might take some time if it is large for example-when it starts reading, arrow until you are in the window (rather than in the other web functions such as add to reading list etc). 6. Interact with the window with the VO-Down Arrow-Shift command. 7. If you want to read line by line, try to get your reading setting to 'navigation', otherwise when you use the down arrow, you will be reading via character or word. 8. Use the arrows to read up and down each line. 9. Close or quit when you are finished. N.B.: the default setting for PDFs is Preview, which I personally find hard to access. This has worked for me so far most often. I think I said to use Google Chrome last time I emailed, but I think I should really have said Safari, as Chrome seems not to open the document in the same way-often saying 'empty HTML' which Safari does not. Kind regards Kirsten. -- 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: Tips for reading PDF documents on the Mac
I haven't, but you raise a good point, I have never found it possible to read PDF columns properly with Jaws and used to have to use fine reader to translate into an MS Doc. The PDFs I am currently putting into Safari are mainly journal articles-they have some tables and I don't think those read properly, but I will try to remember to take a look at some PDFs in columns and see. I think we're likely to have little success however, as it's about translating graphical representation into words and a logical order to people-many of whom don't have a great concept of layout and formatting.

So, although this does not seem to be happening, and that is an improvement, I'm sorry to say there has been no amazing advancement. Tables in HTML are much more navigable as they have titles and a clear structure, and obvious breaks between columns. But when you turn a PDF into a safari-opened document, it doesn't have the HTML functionality and thus just reads the table as text rather than a separately navigable part of the page. I still have to invest in Fine Reader for Mac, but probably that will solve problems, in the mean-time, long-winded as it is, you either need to use your memory, or do what Rafael does and rescan a printed document. I wonder what it is about Kerzweil and Fine Reader that make tables possible, whilst VO and Jaws can't read PDF docs properly ... Kirsten.

webpages question
Hi all, Three web-based questions below, I use Google Chrome and Safari interchangeably, making you aware of that in case your answers are different depending on the browser I'm using. 1. Is there a way to stop a webpage reverting to the top of the page when it refreshes? When on the Tesco Grocery site, when I click add to basket it refreshes the page and then I have to work my way down to where I was. 2. Conversely, is the trackpad gesture to get to the top of a webpage 3-finger swipe up? I just can't seem to get it to do it ... 3. Finally, is there a way of getting a page to refresh? I have particular problems with the Mastercard secure code/verified by Visa page which more often than not refuses to load properly, to cancel or reload the page might mean losing where I am or even paying twice and I don't want that. What I'm really looking for is if there is a command like insert-escape for Jaws which will make sure everything is brought up on the screen. I think this page in particular is quite difficult to load and often I have to close it and go through the whole thing again before I can confirm payment and write in my code-and this often allerts my pushy bank who then decide it's fraud, when in fact, it's a rubbish page not doing it's job properly. Thanks all, advice much appreciated. Kirsten. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

audio with Perrien
Hi all, I downloaded this open source app so I could open WMA files. Chris B recommended this the other day and I saw it again on Vic's open source apps list. However, I don't think I've done it right. I went through the pref payne but I didn't find a .app file to transfer to my applications folder. There's only the pref payne, a txt doc about changes and a what's new rtf. What do I need to do to get it to load successfully so I can open my files? I had just begun to think I was getting the knack of the Mac :( Thanks. Kirsten. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: audio with Perrien
Mark, As I already said, in the dmg folder there is no .app file. Only a perian.prefPane (already used) readme.rtf and changes.txt Shall I delete and redownload? I got it from the Perian website.

Help from those who were helping me convert WMA two weeks back …
Hi all, I'm still having trouble with this. I have Flip and the snow leopard QT and the WMV thing which I can't remember the name of. They all work, and when I insert my cd with WMA files on they play on my mac beautifully. However, I can't seem to be able to export them to M4A and transfer them to my itunes and thus onto my IPhone. I try export cmd+shift+s and though it starts it always it says it can't complete. I've tried opening itunes and copying the wma files but that doesn't seem to do anything. I have tried creating a play list but copying into here doesn't work either. I really want these to play on my iphone mostly, and though it's really good to know that I can now get the Mac to work, I need to go one step further. How can I alter them and how can I then transfer to my 3GS? Many thanks. Kirsten. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Word count in Pages
Mike, In pages, go to edit, then Writing Tools, then Show Statistics and then a box will open, I use the swipe on the trackpad to get to the wordcount area after title and name and comments etc. For spell check, do CMD+colon I think. CMD+semi-colon just checks that word I think, while Cmd+colon checks the whole document. Any suggestions you have will appear in a table, which you need to interact with if you have multiples, otherwise you can just tab through to ignore or change if the word is already selected. I'm not sure how to change the language, actually, this is something I would like to know-for me, it's changing it from US English to UK English, it keeps trying to change my our words to or and my ise words to ize.

Mac Mail question
Hi, How do I move an email from trash back to the inbox? In the edit menu, there doesn't seem to be a move to inbox command. I can't do undo as I deleted it a couple of days ago, but now want it back. I know it's there and I have both interacted with the table and the message line and the actual message itself. Thanks.

Converting wma to mp3 and playing on Downcast
Hi all, First, apologies for the cross posting. I've tried to resolve this problem, but I can't seem too, can anyone help? I have four wma files which I now can play on my mac using quick-time/perrien However, I really want these folders (audio) to transfer to my phone, in a podcast style. However, I can't change them to mp3 or m4a. When I try to export them into m4a to subsequently add to itunes on the Mac it says this media must be corrupted. It's fine. I tried renaming them as mp3 but that didn't work either. Then I thought that if I tried exporting them from my dropbox app on my iphone into downcast that might work, but of course, they are still in wma and I can't get them to play there. How can I get them into itunes so they will sync to my phone? How can I get them into mp3 or m4a so I can if nothing else put them through downcast and dropbox and get them on that way? Can anyone help? I need simple instructions, cos clearly I can't get it to work myself ... Thanks.

Mark, I have Lion, does that mean it wouldn't work if I got your link? I spelt it right but can't find it in app store, should I? It comes up with exact scan or something.

Re: Vuescan?
Found it thanks, am currently downloading, so cross your fingers for me. You should have realised by now how lame I am.

Time machine backup and time capsule
Hi, I have just discovered that my time machine has not backed up to my time capsule for a month. When I try to force it it says back up disk unavailable. When I went to the help it said to go to airport utility which I did, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. Also in help it said the password might have changed. How do I access that ... it said to log in using the original password created but I can't find how to log in. I assume it's some sort of webpage like when you try to log into your router. I did have internet problems at some point in April, perhaps a month ago and had to switch things off, so this might be why. It's clearly still working as a router, but not to back up. Can anyone direct me to the appropriate help page, or give me simple instructions to follow to sort this out asap? Is it something I can do on my own with no vission?

Re: Time machine backup and time capsule
Hi, I unplugged it and replugged in again as recommended. I still couldn't get it to do a backup. I have tried to go into all the settings. I restarted it via airport utility. Then it disappeared and I had to go and pull out the ether net cables before it could recognise it again. Now it appears as a disk and I have made sure it is my default. But now it's complaining that it isn't part of the server. In time machine menu too it says time machine not configured. It's also saying system preferences busy and I can't seem to get it to do anything! Before I got to this stage, I wondered if I needed to update my airport utility. Does the Mac automatically do that as part of the updates process? Cos I can't find out how to update Airport Utility. I think this is probably an obsolete question now as I think I've gone too far into messing up the whole thing! This is what happens when you trust your boyfriend to know everything about it and then he becomes your ex ... 2 months later things like this happen and I am none-the-wiser thanks to my own enforced ignorance!

Re: Time machine backup and time capsule
Hi, I have no idea what I did or how it suddenly did this, but I spent several hours going seemingly round in circles with it. Then suddenly, it started a backup and not wanting to crow too soon, I waited and it finished after an hour and a bit. I presume-hope-that all should be well now ... don't know what it was playing at, and I will keep checking the tm menu to see about the last backup. I'll keep your instructions Tim, in case it messes up again ... Thanks. Kirsten.

Maintaining contacts and calendars question
Hi all, Probably the answer to this question is quite obvious, but I am seeking your opinion, because I don't want to do any damage. I have an MBP, iPad and 4S. I would like my contacts and calendars and notes, to appear on all of them. When I just had the Mac and a 3GS, I did not use iCloud. This was really because when in my windows days a few months back, I wanted to use outlook for keeping a record of my contacts and calendars etc, iCloud became a massive duplication. This was very annoying. So I switched off iCloud and left a pc and then my mac and the iPhone to do their thing. However, for some reason now, I am having issues syncing my contacts and calendar properly. I think it must be something to do with my iTunes. Can anyone help? I have recently used the multi edit app to sort out and organise my contacts on my iPhone. These are not transferring to my iPad when I sync with iTunes. It just has the old ones which have an extra 30 or 40 contacts I do not need. Also, they are not syncing with my Mac. My address book is the same as it was last week. Should I change a setting in iTunes? Or should I just use iCloud and have it sort it all out for me. I'm worried about having duplications again then. But, my major concern is my calendar, I have everything on there, and I take it everywhere with me. However, I need it to sync on all the machines so that wherever I am I have a clear record of what I need to be doing. Is it likely, because my contacts are not syncing properly, that my calendar is doing the same? I am worried that if I use iCloud, I will end up losing everything. Although iTunes is a pain, I know I can always get things back, if I lose things, like I did last weekend. If I use iTunes, what do I need to make sure my settings are in order for it to work properly? When I checked the sync contacts etc box in iTunes, there are lots of other checkboxes, and they seem to appear twice, four example notes, calendar, and contacts, do I need to check them multiple times in order for it to work properly? Which is my dominant machine? For example my most up-to-date calendars and notes and contacts are on my iPhone, but does my Mac think that it is the one in charge? Is there a way of getting it so that whenever I sync to my iPhone it replaces it on all of the machines so that that is always the latest version? Is this what iCloud will do? I am terrified of having multiple different versions of calendars and contacts et cetera and then ending up with the wrong set at the wrong time. What should I do? How do I sort out my settings? I have sent this to both lists, so sorry for the duplications for people.

Re: ABBYY fine reader
Wow, I can't believe how well this conversion works. Hardly any mistakes, and certainly none that hinder understanding! I've had experience of FR on Windows but I don't think I ever converted JPEG, just PDF, but this is great!

Re: ABBYY fine reader
You can demo this one. It's called abbyyfine reader express. That's the app I mean. But you can download a demo, I think from their website, which allows you either 15 days, I think or 15 tries, whichever comes first. It only allows you to do a page at the time for this, but it gives you a good idea of how it works. Sent from my iPhone On 2 Jul 2012, at 23:20, Alex Hall wrote: > Great, thanks.

Re: Firefox on the Mac
Hi, I use Safari or Google Chrome on the Mac to access blackboard, both of these are fine and there are no issues. I was of the understanding that Firefox does not yet work other than a beyta version on the map, although I am looking forward to the day when it does properly. For blackboard it is probably best to use Safari for now, as although chrome is good, it's not totally there yet. Though chrome is probably second to Firefox currently. But please someone correct me if Firefox is fully available and accessible, because I would like to use Firefox myself if it is usable now.

Installing mountain lion
Hi all, I plan to install ML on Friday or Saturday, when I come back from being away. However, my Mac, which I got 10 months ago, came with Lion installed. So I've never had to install anything big like this on a Mac before I'm not very good at doing this sort of thing, so I wondered if there was a pod cast or some tips which I could use when I install it so that I get it right. Is there anything I need to do before I install? Where do I put it? Will it more or less do it for me? Or do I have to get it to do things. If anybody could direct me in the right place that would be great. Sounds totally inept and stupid I know… But… There's no rush, as I said, I won't be doing it till the weekend. Thanks.

Re: Installing mountain lion
Apparently vm is fine. I don't have iCloud set up, it scares me marginally more than iTunes with regard to loss and salvation of my data. Posts on list suggest its use is paramount. Should I set up iCloud before install? Is its use necessary? If I set it up, any tips for not losing everything from Mac, iPhone and iPad!?

Help calling apple please
Hi all, Is anyone able to tell me how I go about calling Apple? I'm in the UK. I need to report a problem with my face time, it isn't working properly. And the only way I can think of resolving it is to call them and ask them. I think I do have AppleCare, but I have no idea how it works, as I never used it, and cannot read the information. The AppleCare too is for my Mac, and the problem I am having with face time is actually on my iPhone, is it still valid? Really, I would like a phone number in the UK to call, where they might help me. I know I can email the accessibility,but I would like to speak to a person. Does anyone have any ideas or know where I could go to find a suitable phone number?

Re: Help calling apple please
Thank you for the phone numbers everybody. I won't use my AppleCare, as I think that is just for my Mac. I will try the UK number and ask if they will help me, they either we'll all won't, it won't hurt to ask. If the worst comes to worst, I will find my local Apple shop and go in there.

Mac mail help
Hi all, I quite often have an issue with my time capsule and my BT hub/modem and I lose my internet/network and can only get it back once I've unplugged the time capsule and plugged it in again. Earlier this week it was gone for several hours before a lot of fighting with it fixed it. Actually I had to go onto BT.com and reset my password (or rather, my dad had to as I couldn't because of audio capture issues) ... Because my iphone had tried to connect to my email three times, and failed, BT blocked me so I had to go in and reset my password ... I had issues when I got it back with my iphone and my mac. On my iphone I seem to have two mailboxes one which seems to refer to my user name kirsten.edmondson and the other which refers to my domain btinternet I think it is similar with my Mac, and when I was trying to input my reset password into my mac mail I found I didn't know what I was doing with mail. I found the get mail button somewhere and pressed and for some reason that got my mail coming in again and it's been fine since then. But I have lost all my emails since before that time ... Although I regularly delete, I like to keep some (those with usernames etc) and now they're all gone. Is there anywhere they are likely to be lurking? Or are they lost forever? Aso, how do I go about changing my mail settings - if needed in future? (I'm used to using outlook and this seems to be so totally different-not that I'm seeking to compare, but thought it might be of use if you knew my background). I think I am using pop3, should I be using that or imap? I wonder if this is the reason for the different mail boxes? One is perhaps imap and the other perhaps pop3? I have no idea which I'm using now, though it looks the same as before except for the missing messages, but might I have inadvertently entered the other one without knowing? I think I did go in somewhere and put in my password, but that made no difference. I feel a bit stupid about this, but I'm quite confused about how to work mail properly and am not sure where to look in the help. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

time machine help
Hi, My time capsule came unplugged. I plugged it in again and it seemed to be ok, but when I went to the time machine menu the configured icon was dimmed. I've found my disk but it now says it cannot connect to the time machine server and that it can't find my backup disk. I'm going to go onto mv archives as I'm sure there will be something in there that will help me, but any immediate advice on how to get my time capsule, time machine and my mbp talking together would be much appreciated. I did a backup on Monday, but it doesn't seem to recognise that it exists. I don't want to upgrade to ml until I have tm sorted and have done a successful back up ... just in case ...

Re: Mac mail help
So, as you suggested I've just been in the accounts part of the preferences ... thanks for reminding me where to find it - obvious really ... There's only one account there, the one which says btinternet and is apparently an imap and says yahoo in the description I am fairly certain this is different to before Tuesday, but there is definitely only one account in the accounts table. Should I be using pop3? Thanks. Kirsten. On 3 Aug 2012, at 22:53, Dan Eickmeier wrote: > Hi kirsten, i'd say that Apple mail is one of the best mail clients i've > used.

Re: Mac mail help
I was wondering if it should be pop3 on my mac, that way the mails would stay, and imap on my 4s and ipad? Does that sound the wrong way round? As I only seem to have the imap version, would I need to add a new account if I wanted to create, or recreate the pop3 version? Don't want to mess up my email, but it seems odd that all the messages I was keeping just went when I went to put in my password ... Thanks.

Re: time machine sorted was time machine help
Hi, As subject says, I think I have managed to sort out my tm issue. Not sure how, but got it to come up with my password and did a bit of wire jiggling and now it's done a successful full backup! Fingers crossed that it keeps working! I sadly have to say, I have a house full of Apple products, all of which I love, except my time capsule, it seems to cause me no end of trouble, and seems to die and drop off the network, or conflict with my network or break my network at least once a month! :( Such a shame when it cost £250 ... on principle I refuse to get rid of it, as it was a christmas present from my ex-boyfriend ... though perhaps it just reflects our poor quality relationship as was ... :( On 3 Aug 2012, at 22:12, Kirsten Edmondson wrote: > Hi, > My time capsule came unplugged.

Looking for the link for the list archives
Hi, I seem to have misplaced the link which was sent out about these list archives. Recently, I tried to get into google groups, to read some emails from earlier in the year. However, I was unable to access the Googlegroups site properly. I think this is because it has been changed. Is there a link to access Google groups as it was? Or is there a link which will take me directly to the archives, and thus I can search easier? I have a feeling that it is Www.mail-archives.com/Macvisionaries.Googlegroups.com Is this correct? Will this get me where I want to go? Many thanks, Kirsten. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

captures and firefox question
Hi, Someone recently told me that the best way to solve captures is to get Firefox and webvisum. However, I have thought, for a long time, that FF is inaccessible for the Mac. Is this still the case? Is this actually the best way to solve captures? If so, when I download both applications, what do I need to do to get them to work together? If Firefox is not fully accessible, how do I make it as accessible as possible?

problem with VO in log on in ML
Hi all, Since upgrading to ML two days ago, Funny things have been happening during log on. First I have to do cmd5 to switch vo on, after waiting for it to kick in for a while. Instead of Samantha (my default) Alex arrives and welcomes me to vo. I have to interact with the dialogue box and then click on a button that is my name. It seems to suggest myself or a guest. Then I am able to put in my password. It then logs in and Samantha starts. I have read the messages from July and have been into the users and logins options in system preferences, but there seems to be only me there and no way of asking it to have vo work or deleting anyone else. I have been in vo utilities and there does not seem to be a checkbox for having vo start automatically prior to log in-which is what I had in lion. Instead the first available setting is about togelling vo with cmd5. Can anyone help me find the setting I need to change as this whole log in process is quite convoluted currently.

activating links
Hi all, It seems that I am no longer able to activate a link in an email for example by doing vo/space or enter. I have tried putting my cursor on it and selecting it before trying to activate it, but simply nothing happens. I have to copy and paste it into the address bar. Is this fault general, or am I doing something wrong? Does it have something to do with my changing my default browser from Chrome to Safari? When I did this, I did it from the browser, is there another way to tell the mac to use Safari as the default web browser and to be used to open links?

Re: captures and firefox question
Hi Teresa, Am I correct that when using this to solve captures, the way to go about it would be to paste the link of the page the capture is on into this version of firefox?

Re: captures and firefox question
Hi, I have got the nightly version of FF now, but I am having trouble with the extensions. I can't seem to get webvisum. There isn't a search box, or at least, vo can't find it, or it isn't labelled. Can I get it from the company and download, would that work just as well? Nightly is "busy" almost all the time, an d is so slow. Suggestions. Thanks.

Question about spam emails
Hi, Apologies for cross posting but my question is relevant to both lists. I regularly pull in my email using both mac and iPhone. Though I delete everything irrelevant based on the subject line and without opening, I am increasingly noticing an upsurge of spam. I am trying to move from BT (essentially yahoo) to gmail-which I understand is much better regarding spam. I am unable to do this currently without sighted assistance. Until then, are there any accessible apps or program's I could for mac mail or iPhone mail that would eradicate such junk? Thanks.

Urgent help with a podcast-recording app
Hi all, I need to record some podcasts. A few weeks ago I found and successfully used a podcast app on the Mac. But now, I can't find it! :( I thought it was in utilities but it isn't there any longer. Does it still exist in ml? If not, can I get anything for recording podcasts on my Mac that is free? I know about audio hijack pro, but I don't want to pay as I only do rare podcasts-but don't want to use the free ahp version because I need it to be good quality and it might end up being longer than 10 mins.

Skype and VO
Hi, I have finally got Skype to work! Yipee! However, I'm having VO trouble … It talks too much and is really annoying when I'm on a call, so I switch it off, but for some reason, I can't get it back on again after the call has ended, I have to reboot the Mac first … and press the key stroke several times … can anyone advise how I can mute VO quickly for while I'm on a call, and particularly how I get it back afterwards? Also is there somewhere I can go for the key combination commands for Skype? Like hanging up and particularly answering a call? I can't seem to find a list and I've looked in the Apple, Skype and File menus with no joy … Thanks.

Still having dropbox issues
Hi, I'm still not having any luck with dropbox. I got a response from the tech guys at dropbox.com and he said I should try unlinking and re-linking my dropbox so that hopefully I would then get access to all my files-as it is currently empty and I know it's quite full in reality. He said to go 1) Right click the Dropbox icon in the system tray at the bottom right of your screen, by the clock on Windows or menu bar at the top of your screen on Mac. 2) Select 'Preferences' 3) Click the Account tab and then the 'Unlink' button So where is this menu bar/icon he's talking about? I know exactly what he's talking about regarding Windows, but not for Mac. If I open dropbox in the applications window it says 'dropbox has no windows' and every time I try to get to preferences it says 'finder preferences'. Thanks.

sending to multiple addresses
Hi, In the Mac's mail program, how can you get it to send to multiple addresses? And how can you choose who to send to if you have more than one address-for example in Outlook there is a to … button which you can press and then choose from your address book; when you've selected it will put it in the to field and then return you to the message-anything like this on the Mac?

Re: sending to multiple addresses
All your answers make total sense, but I just can't get it to work. I've tried: Putting in a comma in between addresses; Putting in a semi-colon between addresses; Putting a return in between; Pressing space or double tapping on the trackpad when the address I want comes up; moving off the field and then back on; Using to and CC boxes; But every time I try to type the second address (even after it's said the address menu button), if I type another address it says "selection deleted" and I can't get to keep the addresses. What am I doing wrong? My address book is set up cos all my contacts came from my phone, and when I type in an email address; it knows who I mean after the first few letters and puts it in, it's just when I accept it and type the second one it replaces the first with that, or sometimes merges them, despite commas or semi-colons or returns or spaces.

Brilliant! I understand now-it's a glitch and it works exactly the way you said. Thanks all for the quick responses and the detail!

accessing notes
Hi, I used to sync my notes from my IPhone onto my outlook. Since I have got a Mac, I have just accessed them through my phone, but I assume there must be a way of reading them on the Mac too? Where will I find my notes? Is it in the email program? Or in ITunes, or in somewhere totally separate? Anyone know? Thanks.

Audible and iTunes on the Mac
Hi, since transferring from my windows machine to my Mac I have lost all my audible books. I can download them again no problem but I want them to go into my iTunes and thus onto my IPhone. I found a thing in apple menu under services which says something like add to iTunes as a spoken track. Do I find my downloaded book in the downloads section and then click on this in the menu in order to get it to the right place? Or is there something else, or something simpler I should do? Thanks.

partitioning my Mac
Hi all, I need to use Windows for work and the easiest way to do this is to bootcamp or vmfusion my Mac. Is this easy to do? I heard that VM Fusion was better, how much does it cost?

help, problem with mac arrow keys
Hi, Something funny has just started happening. When I try and use the arrow keys inside the mail it says row expanded, or row collapsed, I can't seem to get to the status or conversation boxes etc. I think I must have pressed something but I have no idea what. How can I get it back to normal? I have closed down and reopned and that's made no difference. Thanks.

Re: Pages
I have created a document in pages and done my editing, but to submit it I need to export it to word. I have a few questions. 1. I split my pages document into sections, but it has added in new pages every time. I didn't notice this til I was loking at it in word, but I can't seem to change it. Does anyone know how to get rid of them in word 2003, or can I import it into pages again. Will this damage my formatting? Can I then get rid of the section breaks? 2. Are there any tips in spell-checking in pages, IE. useful commands etc? 3. How do I change the font/size, does pages have Times New Roman and if so, is there a way to make this my default font instead of the hilvetica thing? Is there useful podcasts on pages? Thanks.

Looking for a couple of programs
Hi all, In my mission to get the Mac running more perfectly and so I have to use the PC a lot less, I am looking for a couple of things, and if anyone can advise me it would be good. Can you use another web client other than Safari? Or can this only be done when Bootcamp or VMFusion is running? I heard something about Firefox not working on a Mac but Google Chrome being good. What are people's impressions and how would I go about it? I struggle with PDF files, is there any program to get them to read ok? I heard something a while back that you could get fine reader for Mac. Now I have got my scanner working, I would like to get hold of FR for Mac. How would I go about this and is there anything I need to know? Many thanks as always! Kirsten. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: problems with abby fine reader express and my epson scanner
Hi, I was going to buy Fine Reader but I too have -a very old - epson scanner. Does this mean it won't work? -before I buy it.

I purchased the abby fine reader express program from the app store. I was having problems with my epson 4490; so decided to uninstall it from the print and scan dialog. However, it shows up twice in the abby program where one selects whether to do the conversion from a file from the scanner and I have no idea how to totally remove the epson drivers from my mac so I can either get a new scanner or try reinstalling them again. Also, one would think that since I removed the epson from the print and scan dialog that it shouldn't still show up twice in abby. Any ideas how to remove this from abby so I can start again? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Facebook on Mac
Hi, I have recently discovered the plethora of fb aps for the IPhone, so I was wondering are the same aps apply for the Mac, or are there similar versions?

Re: VO or Chormevox with Google Chrome?
Hi, I don't know if it's just me, but I keep finding that when I launch vox, Google Chrome crashes and I can't access anything. It puts me off using chrome, which I loved so much on a PC and I thought would be brilliant on the Mac. I can't wait for Firefox!

Re: VO or Chormevox with Google Chrome?

Mastercard secure code and the Visa ones when paying on webpages
Hi all, Is it possible to use the verified by Visa or Mastercard Secure Code security systems on webpages? I'm having trouble using my mac on the Tesco.com groceries website and can't get past the mastercard secure code page, I can't find the edit box to put in the password and though I have it set to form elements it doesn't find it, just trying to type in my code makes it return to the checkout page. Of course, it could just be something up with the said page, but I'm worried that it's a mac thing, how do we get around this? Loads of websites have it, but I have to say, I haven't come across it til now. Thanks. Kirsten. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Net flicks and apple tv questions
Hi, I have an apple TV, so was investigating net flicks. Is it useable? Is it worth it/good? Can you get audio-described films?-Love Film don't do them through their streaming option. I would like to know more about Apple TV too, are there any of Mike's great podcasts on it? Is there anywhere in particular, except for apple site which might be good to go to learn more about the versitility of Apple TV?

Re: Reading PDFs?
I have started selecting the file I want from the folder by interacting with the table and putting the cursor on the file and then uninteracting. I then go VO+m and into open with. This brings up a list of programs, I think the first one is preview and that's selected, you want to select something like Safari or Chrome if you have it, press enter and it'll open fine. Much easier to read. You have to do it every time though, as I haven't worked out how to set it to open PDFs that way as default.

Mac and iCloud settings
Hi, I have two extra inboxes in my Mac Mail(me.com and Icloud.com) which are causing me problems. First of all, I have one particular person who's emails are for some reason going into one of those boxes and no where else and I don't know why, 2, it seems to default my send-from account as my me.com account and I do not want this, I either want my btinternet or my gmail to be my default send-from and to addresses. Do I need them? Can I hide them or stop them trying to dominate? Also, even though I have icloud set up on all my devices, I can't get my mac contacts to update, I need the ones from my iphone to replace the ones on the mac, how can I instigate this? Can I get my mac to access my last iphone icloud backup so it uses that information?

Re: OT: iOS 6 Disappointment!-iBooks store & App Store
Cherree I have to agree with Ricardo and others. I'm not totally sure what you're talking about here, but I think you're getting to head up. I have to admit, I struggled to use the iBookstore for a long time, but that was just because I didn't give it the time to work it out. There are no problems, except that sometimes it jumps and stops reading and jumped off the page, but that is easy to solve the two or three fingers swipe usually does the trick. As for finding books that's easy, and yes you do have to double tap to find more information, but why is that a problem? Similar with the App Store, if you want more info you double tap on the heading, but why is that a problem, perhaps you have to go back a page to be able to access the results but so be it. It's still a lot more accessible than it was when iOS six first came out. It's still a lot more accessible than if we didn't have voice-over at all! I'm not saying Apple accessibility aren't without their issues, but as others have said, email their accessibility people. They are very helpful, and they try to make amends. Yes, I am very annoyed currently about the jumping in Safari which continues, and which I find on both my iPhone and iPad. I'm not sure who to report that too, as I'm not sure it'll accessibilityan thing, And I think it has been reported before, but still, I will report it and hope that in the next release it is updated and improved.

Re: Capture solving
Reading between the lines here Ray your message seems to suggest it's easier to solve captures using Windows, is this the case? Is there something for Windows?

Re: Capture solving
Hi, I am having a right evening of trying out captcha services! I found ZCaptcha took a long time and then even though it said it was 100% certain it didn't work when i pasted in the code. I just go round in circles. So then I tried Rumola. I downloaded the extension; activitated it fine and then had the notification when I went on the webpage I am trying to get into that it would fill in the captcha. It did. But yet again, the page said I needed to do it properly. Now I can't get Rumola to work again. How do I make it work? I set it up to notify me, but it won't notify me or fill in the box after that one first time. What should I do? Why am I so bad at using these programs to solve captchas? The website I am trying to register on is www.pof.com (plenty of Fish) has anyone had any success with registering-or anyone else been unable to? Captchas are so discriminatory! Any help would be appreciated! Kirsten.
