Re: Macs and Rehab agenciesRe: Microsoft Office 2011 period

[Rob Lambert]

I just wanted to say I think it's wonderful that rehab agencies are finally
getting away from Windows, and are opening up to the Mac. This was needed
for the past three years.

Re: fusion or bootcamp

[Rob Lambert]

In using Fusion for 7, I noticed at least a 1 second delay in between the
type I would press the Command (i.e. Windows) key, and the time JAWS
responded. I would personally do it through Bootcamp to avoid this. Also,
Windows 7 takes up a lot of RAM to run virtually, and happens to make my
fans whine at high speed. In Bootcamping, I didn't see this as a problem.

Re: fusion or bootcamp

[Rob Lambert]

The Mac side can be done without sighted assistance, but you MUST follow the
directions EXACTLY! It will require you to print out the 30+ page bootcamp
assistant documentation, and there are two stages for partitioning your
drive. The first is creating said partition, which you will do on the OS X
side. Then, you must load your Windows install disc. After this, you will
reboot into Windows. Sighted assistance will be needed to help you in
selecting the correct partition to use for Windows. They will need to refer
to this documentation in order to determine the correct one. If you do not
select the right one, you will DESTROY your Mac OS X partition. This
partition selection process, I believe, is not accessible to screen
readers.

Re: fusion or bootcamp

Not for everything, but you do need to remember to select the right
partition, and that's something I did need the documentation to do, as I
wasn't sure how Windows would see it.

Re: VMWare Fusion and installing Windows 7

[Rob Lambert]

You CAN! NOT! use the upgrade disk. You MUST! use a FULL GENUINE COPY! I'm
assuming this is for a clean install of Vista, and not upgrading from VM of
XP, right? I think even if two as, you would need the genuine CD.

Re: External itunes library

[Rob Lambert]

This could probably be done by connecting your external drive, and porting
your directory manually (what you have thus far). Then, there is an option
in iTunes regarding importing, I believe somewhere in there is the option to
change to the external drive.

Re: USB Headsets

[Rob Lambert]

I have the motorola S9HD blue tooth stereo ear buds. I give you fair
warning, I can't seem to get the built in mic to work on anything other than
my phone. However, for audio, it's great. Surround sound built in, and it's
$80.

Re: cleaning your mac

[Rob Lambert]

To keep your cache clean, I'd recommend "Cache Out X". THe app is simple to
use, just a bunch of check boxes & labels such as user cache, internet
cache, and each browser has its own checkbox. You can also check an option
to clean it up on every startup. It's free, too.

Virutal Box is NOT accessible, I think this is due to development issues by

Re: my mac fan runs and won't quit when I run some apps

Check your Activity Monitor. I'm having the same consistent running issue
with a process called Quick Look Helper, which runs at over 100% of the
processor's capacity. I close out this process, and it cools the system down
within a minute or two.

Re: purchasing Plextalk pocket, any thoughts?

[Rob Lambert]

Have they cleared up this one issue I had with my PTP1 before returning it?
If not, beware of the following: When I tried to eject my PTP1, it would
always remount itself. Your timing had to be perfect, or else you would end
up with that improperly removed message on the Mac side. That's why I just
used a card reader.

New Mac Mini

[Rob Lambert]

Apple has redesigned it's mac mini. It's now shorter (at just over an inch
thick), but also wider (at approximately 7.1" square). The big thing on this
one is, on the bottom, there is a round cover. Twist this cover, and remove
it, and you are immediately granted access to the RAM. There is also a model
range cut for the mini. You now just have the one lower priced (what I call
"consumer") model at $699, and then the server at $999. There's also an SD
card slot on the back (come in from the left hand side, and it's on the top,
above the two round audio ports). Finally, keep going beyond the SD card,
towards the right. You will first find four USB 2.0 ports, and beyond the
furthest right port (or the one closest to the center of the back of the
Mini, however you prefer) there are two ports. One is the mini DVI port
that's found on Apple's MacBook Pro. The one to the right of that is long,
rectangular, and has an angular shape on the bottom. This is Apple's brand
new HDMI port. This means that, if you have an HD TV, you can hook up your
Mini and use your HD TV as the monitor. A full port description is as
follows. If you come in from the right hand side, the back has the following
ports from right to left: Power (switch), power (A/C adapter port),
ethernet, Firewire 800 (the horizontal long line below this is a cooling
vent), then thee's the HDMI port that I spoke of earlier, and the Mini DVI
port. Finally, following on from the DVI port, again proceeding to the left,
there is the four USB ports, and an SD card slot, and that's where you will
see the left edge of your Mini. Below the SD card slot are two audio jacks.
The one  closest to the edge is headphone, and the one closest to the center
is line-in. More info can be found at http://www.apple.com/macmini/ I'm
curious about your opinion on this. For those who don't know, the Mini has
been around since 2005, and this is it's first full redesign in five years.
In my opinion, it was way overdue, and I'm glad they finally got around to
it.

Just joined

[Rob Lambert]

Hello,

I'm Rob. I just joined this list. I've been a Mac user for the past seven
years, as a user of their magnifier software. I love how you can just walk
up to a Mac, press a keystroke, and it zooms in or speaks. I've been telling
people that, regarding our assistive technology, we're seeing a shift. I
know many Mac users, and one who's about to come into possession of a Mac
Mini. At CSUN I found out the ZoomTwix CCTV/OCR unit will have Mac
compatibility, and also that RFB&D's #1 requirement for it's new software
that's coming out, is to run on the Mac. So I'm curious about who's in
agreement with me, do you feel we're seeing a shift in our industry, and
that Windows alone will no longer cut it? I certainly do.

DAISY player for the Mac

[Rob Lambert]

I've tried Olearia, Emerson, and ReadHear. Of those three, ReadHear is the
only one to play my Bookshare books. I love Olearia for it's ease of use,
and I'd like to try to get that to work. When I open the book (and it's the
folder with the book title on it), it said that it can't play it. However,
when I play the user's guide for my Book Sense, it plays fine. Anyone got
any answers to this one? I'd like to avoid paying for something if I can.
Readhear is capable, but not only is it pricey at $250, but I don't like the
User interface, as much as I do olearia. Thanks.

What do you think?

[Rob Lambert]

I just got wind, from a friend of mine, that the only reason Apple is
accessible to us is because of a lawsuit by the NFB. The term of the
agreement was for accessibility improvements for three years. Here's a
question. First, what's your side of this ordeal? Second, who thinks Apple
will keep up with the accessibility improvements after this three year term
is up? I apologize for making smooth waters mirky, I just wanted to know
what your take on this was.

You'd think that, since Canada & the U.S. are so close, that Apple would
treat them the same, regarding shipping schedules. It's possible you guys
will get the WiFi & 3G models at the same time though, because we already
have the WiFi model in the states. We'll be getting the 3G model at the end
of the month.

I think the same is true here in the states, though it seems to be changing,

Re: new member

My theory is this: The more Mac users, the better. It will drive the other
guys to come up with the same thing for their system, where you could walk
up to a Windows PC, and press a button, and it starts talking. Narrator
doesn't count. LOL

I agree. Only time will tell, of course. Who better to train people on their
products than Apple themselves? I haven't used it, but I do like their
one-to-one service, and my hope is they've set aside some staff that have
been trained in VoiceOver for us. If not, they should.

Re: burning iso files

[Rob Lambert]

Yes, you can use the Disk Utility to burn an ISO. What I usually do is go to
the menu bar, and on the Images menu, I arrow down to Burn. I believe the
shortcut is Command B (as in Bravo).

iPad - When to Buy

[Rob Lambert]

I'm thinking about waiting for the second generation iPad. Reason? I may be
repeating myself, but I don't want to take the chance that some have not
skipped over my previous message about the iPad. It seems Engadget has
managed to find a teardown of the iPad, in which someone discovered the
internal holster for a webcam, very similar to the iSight on the Mac. So
here's the gig. If that even holds a microscopic chance of being true, would
you wait, or would you just buy the first generation?

Re: an update on my new macbook pro

[Rob Lambert]

Hey congrats. :) This needs to be forwarded to all voc rehab agencies around
the nation, along with Apple's accessibility webpages, so they can see what
using a Mac for us is like. I put up a video on PC vs. Mac from a training
perspective, which is actually the same as my "What's the difference" (or
"Curious" - i can't remember what i called it) thread.

Re: iPad - When to Buy

LOL This is true. I'm debating if I'd use it myself or not. Part of me is
saying no, as I see myself mostly working in iWork, or on the web, with the

Re: An Ipod Touch Question, a couple of them actually

[Rob Lambert]

Wait until OS 4.0 They've managed to put languages in their own section on
the rotor, at least on the iPad, so there may be an English male voice in
there, and I'm hoping this will carry over to the iPod Touch. Also there
will be bluetooth keyboard support as well. OS 4 should be a free upgrade
for iPod Touch users. It'll be out this summer.

Emulators for other OS's on the Mac

[Rob Lambert]

I had a copy of VMWare Fusion, but wasn't willing to pay the $40 upgrade fee
for Version 3. VirtualBox doesn't seem to be working. One quick note is that
I'm a magnifier user, so I don't have to worry about VoiceOver too much.
Does anyone know of a good emulator I could use? I've considered Parallels,
but haven't had any experience with it. Also, it should be noted that using
VMWare Fusion, I was able to seamlessly use the Macintosh Zoom utility
inside of the virtual machine without any problems, so being able to do that
on the new one would be a must.

Re: mac book pro

[Rob Lambert]

Which format do you plan to use? If you go bootcamp, you MUST partition your
hard drive. If you go that route, I'd recommend the 500 GB. That way, you'll
have a good chunk of space for Window,s while also having a good chunk for
Mac. It also depends on how many things you have. 4 GB should be fine for
Windows 7. I ran it very smoothly with the beta under 2 GB of RAM.

Re: An Ipod Touch Question, a couple of them actually

[Rob Lambert]

If you  go to Apple's website, go to the iPhone section, and see the OS 4

They don't mention a price when regarding availability of the OS.

Mac Mini and idea for MacBooks

[Rob Lambert]

Since VoiceOver, and the Mac Mini have been around since 05, this will be
relevant. What is your take on a full redesign of the Mini? Aside from the
back, and insides, the overall system itself hasn't budged in the last five
years. I think the design is starting to get stale, but what do you think? I
also have an idea for the MacBook Pros. You know on the side that there's a
button that is essentially a visual battery checker? Well, for those who
don't know, you push the button &  lights will light up. HOw much do you
think it would be to create a more tactile version of this? I only ask
because low vision users with enough vision, and fully sighted people, can
press a button while the computer is off and get the battery status. I'd
like to see VoiceOver users get this convenience as well.

Re: Mac Mini and idea for MacBooks

[Rob Lambert]

Remember that, like the iPhone, the iPad requires a sync to iTunes the very
first time it boots, so you'll need a Mac to get started with it (or a PC
running iTunes).

That's true about the more than one computer claim, by the way, Jessica. I
think there was a poll taken and most Mac users do have at least one PC in

Re: Mac Mini and idea for MacBooks

[Rob Lambert]

All MacBooks have had the battery gauge, but it's always been on the bottom
of the unit, on the battery itself. I wasn't sure if the new MacBook
redesign (not MacBook Pro, just regular $999 white MacBook) got that meter
moved to the side, or taken off entirely.

Re: Mac Mini and idea for MacBooks

[Rob Lambert]

The Pros are the only ones to have the built-in SD slot, and aluminum is
more durable than polycarbonate plastic, I believe. For those of us who use
SD cards with our portable book players, having the SD card slot built in
can be a real convenience.

Interesting take on the iPad in Education

[Rob Lambert]

This is a video from Chris Pirillo, one of the major Tech Enthusiasts, and
he discusses the possibility (or as he calls it, inevitability) of the iPad
in the classroom. He also notes the reasons for lack of a camera on the
device.

I give you fair warning, regarding RAM. DO NOT! purchase it from Apple. It

Re: braillenote pk as display with voiceover

[Rob Lambert]

On the Mac side, go to the Apple menu (ctrl+option+M will get you to the
menu bar, the very first item will be "Apple"). Press down arrow on this.
Press down in the menu until you get to "Software Update."  If there are any
updates, get them.

Re: remote access / desktop support

[Rob Lambert]

If anyone can chime in, all I'm aware of is a service called "Back to my
Mac" - which allows you to access your Mac from a remote location, but I'm
not sure how it works, as I've never used it. There's also a utility that
Apple sells called Remote Desktop, which can allow you to remotely monitor,
and control, several machines at once. As to VoiceOver compatibility? I'm
not entirely sure. I'd ask around. I give you fair warning though. I just
checked, and Remote desktop's asking price is $299. Here's the link if you
want to see if it's worth it.

btw, I just checked - I saw a screenshot of a Vista machine on the site, so
perhaps Windows can be controlled, too. Like I said, hit the link for more

Re: Apple regulating news and political content???

[Rob Lambert]

This is rather surprising, that they would do this. Regarding the 18+ thing,
there are apps that won't download unless you consent that you are not a
minor. Unfortunately, that requires a simple yes/no click, but at the same
time, it's after your password,  so that's some layer of protection...but i
don't know.

Re: saving Podcasts

[Rob Lambert]

Try this: Move to the link that goes to the podcast you want to save. Press
CTRL+Option+Shift+M to bring up the context menu. From that menu, choose
"Save As..." or "Save to Desktop" (my personal choice). From there, you can
cut & paste into iTunes & place it on your iPod, or you could leave it on
the desktop & copy & paste it into the flash disk or SD card on your book
sense.

Re: Restated: Where Is Anna, on the Mac?

[Rob Lambert]

Steve Jobs did a little thing on TTS prior to the release of Leopard at the
Apple keynote. He demoed TTS engines, including Alex. When Anna read through
the file he put up, she couldn't pronounce things like iPod or iTunes
properly, and instead of "web page", it almost sounds like "webbage" so...I
don't know. LOL As for finding her, let's look at it this way. When the Zune
was released, the software was PC only. I believe the same is true of the
in-house synthesizers at Microsoft.

What you are looking for is something similar to a mini USB port...kind of.

Extracting EXE files on the Mac -- URGENT!!!

[Rob Lambert]

If I have to, I'll use a PC, but I first wanted to know what software there
was (preferably free) that will allow me to run EXE files on my Mac without
having to get a VM (virtual machine) up and running. I have to have this
answer ASAP.

Re: IMG files

My Mac saw an IMG file earlier this evening, though it would not mount it,

That's something I'm not sure about. If you have to be a member to get the
info, since you're not, I don't see why you couldn't still contact them &
talk to them about the application via email.

VoiceOver and Opera

[Rob Lambert]

I'm not sure if anyone has tried the Opera browser with the Mac and
VoiceOver? Well I just downloaded Opera 11. It works, but there's a lag so
great between key strokes and responses you could take a big slug of coffee
in between (not that I'd recommend it LOL). Anyone having similar time
issues on this browser in relation to VoiceOver? Also, VoiceOver even
restarted itself.

Re: VoiceOver and Opera

[Rob Lambert]

I interacted with the web space, keep in mind this is with Opera 11, and it
does talk, but it's VERY slow. Also it's very scattered.

Re: VoiceOver and Opera

[Rob Lambert]

I just tried it to be sure. It works, but as I said, it's slow. Opera will
come up as busy, and VoiceOver may restart itself, but it works. I'm
primarily a magnifier user, and could see the VoiceOver cursor move - though
audio feedback was at a lag.

Re: Using iPad as trackpad

[Rob Lambert]

I keep thinking there was an application to do that but I can't for the life
of me remember it's name. Try typing in "Trackpad" in the app store and see
what you get. Since you have an iPad, your results may vary from iPhone or
iPod Touch users.

Re: phantom E-mail won't delete from InBox IPhone 4

[Rob Lambert]

I'm glad someone brought this up - I on occasion get this on my iPod Touch
as well. Anyone else get this? iPad users, anyone in your group? After some
time the inbox will correct itself but I can't remember what I did - either
waited it out or exited then entered with a refresh, or even cleared out my
email on my Mac before refreshing on my iPod. I think the Mac email check
got it to clear out, if I remember correctly.

Re: best way to send sms messages using your mac??

[Rob Lambert]

You can send them thru mail. For example if you have a friend on Verizon,
you could send a message to 1234567...@vtext.com. For AT&T it would be
txt.att.net, I'm not sure about Sprint, but for T-Mobile it's tmomail.com.
Be sure to include the area code in your number, even if it's local.

Re: vmware fusion problems

[Rob Lambert]

I was able to boot camp Windows quite easily. Just follow the instructions, 
though I don't know if the partitioning info is accessible or not, since I was 
using a hard copy print & a magnifier. The Vista drivers on my OS X CD worked 
beautifully with Windows 7.
