Re: Apple TV and Voiceover and how does it work?
No, you can't use an Apple TV without a regular TV. The Apple TV is just a little box that connects to your regular TV by HDMI kable.

Re: DJ software anyone?
Hi, I'm not sure what software you're talking about. If you're referring to the iTunes DJ, then it can be found in iTunes. If it's not listed in the sources pannel, you can turn it on in the preferences for iTunes. But please not this is perhaps not DJ software as you imagine. It basically just creates a never ending play list to which iTunes continuly adds random tracks. You can add tracks yourself, and you can allow anyone on your network to add tracks and vote on existing ones with the iTuens DJ Party function. If you google for iTunes DJ I'm sure you'll find a host of resources. I ddi.

Re: activating bookmarks
As far as I know there are two main ways to access your bookmarks in Safari. One way is from the Bookmarks menu in the menu bar. You can get there by pressing VO M to get into the menu bar and then press B to take you to bookmarks. Press VO Space to open the Bookmarks menu and then navigate through the menu normally with VO and arrow keys. You can then select any of these bookmarks normally with VO Space and it will take you to the webpage. The other way to accesss bookmarks is within the normal Safari interface, where the bookmarks are presented in tables. Tis I suspect is where you are having your troubles. If you access bookmarks here, pressing return or VO Space will not activate the bookmark link. To go to the webpage you will need to navigate to the relevant bookmark, then acccess the context menu by pressing VO SHIFT M, and then choose open. You should probably put most of your bookmarks in teh bookmarks menu, not the bookmarks bar. Save the bookmarks bar for a fewe favourite bookmarks. You can then access these bookmarks in the bookmarks bar by using the short cut keys CMND + numbers 1 through 9.

Re: DJ software anyone?
Hi, I too once felt like that. Back on my Windows machine, I had all my music and audiobooks organised into folders in Windows explorer just the way I liked them. I would just play them from Windows explorer. But I got over that. I had to switch to iTunes mainly in order to sync with my iPod and iPhone. But I’m glad I did. It’s been an involved an on-going process. It could’ve been a lot less painful if I knew then what I knew now. However, I reckon you should probably make the effort and get into iTunes. It has all those cross fading and play list features you’re looking for, plus a whole lot more. It’s really very good once you set it up properly (i.e. tag all your media) and learn to use it. I think the main things you need to get used to are: 1. Once you’ve tagged your media sufficiently, you don’t need to worry how the files are organised in Finder. Because you’ll just access them through iTuens. Even if things aren’t tagged perfectly, the search function is fairly robust and you should be able to find most of your music. The tagging can be a tedious process, but it will allow you to do some pretty cool things with smart play lists etc once you’re done. 2. If you really want to keep your media files in your own file/folder arrangement, it can be done. The settings can be found in the advanced panel of the iTunes preferences. It should’ve make iTunes crash. If you do decide to move your media into iTunes, I’d suggest reading the host of articles on iTunes on the MacWorld website, or even downloading the Take Control of iTunes book from www.takecontrolbooks.com/ Best, Nic On Tuesday, September 11, 2012 9:36:27 AM UTC+10, Ray Foret jr wrote: > > Hi, > > Would anybody on here using the DJ software for the Mac fill me in a > little on where to get and how to use it?

Re: reminders app?
Hi, Yes, I now use Reminders regularly. I used to just use a text document in text edit which I would sync with Dropbox, but now I prefer to use Reminders. The new lists feature is great. For a tutorial on how to use Reminders with Voice Over and a demonstration of how it can be used, check out David Woodbridge’s Reminders App tutorial which can be found here: http://www.visionaustralia.org/info.aspx?page=2682 Best, NIc On Wednesday, September 12, 2012 1:32:48 PM UTC+10, Alex wrote: > > Hi all, > I'm curious: does anyone actually use reminders?

Re: how to read in bokle?
Hi, If you found that table, that’s a start. The table is the table of contents. You can interact with it using VO SHIFT DOWN ARROW. YOu can then navigate within this table to select the book you want to read, and even the chapter within that book you wish to read. I’ve actually had difficulties navigating this table when I have added multiple books, but I’ve found work arounds. But perhaps that is a topic for another thread. Anyway, once you’ve selected the book/chapter you wish to read, you can interact with the corresponding HTML area by pressing VO J. Alternatively you can stop interacting with the table by pressing VO SHIFT UP ARROW, move right two spaces with VO RIGHT ARROW, then interact with the HTML area using VO SHIFT DOWN ARROW. YOu should then be able to navigate the text of the book with your normal HTML navigation commands, including quickNav and my favourite the two finger swipe down on the track pad to read continuously from the VO curser. If you still have trouble please try to provide more information about the problem you are having. Best of luck and happy reading!

Hi Gigi and Teresa, Thanks for replying! I am using the Apple Mail client and receiving the digest version of the posts. I’m using this for reading the posts which works fine.

Re: DJ software anyone?
If such a program existed I’d be really upset because it would have saved me so much time and effort when switching to using iTunes. IN Windows 7 you can, however, add some limited tags to music files in Windows Explorer. It’s limited to artist, title and genre, but this would be the main tags you’d want to use to keep your music organised when you import it into iTunes. This process of tagging in Windows Explorer is a little tricky from an accessibility stand point (at least with JAWS), but it’s doable. The other app you may be interested in is Song Genie, which will help tag your music once it is in iTunes.
