Downloading Mavericks
Hi I am currently downloading OSX Mavericks v 10.9. It keeps saying downloading and tells me I am on a button that is dimmed. It has been nearly 2 hours. Is this the usual time? How do I found out how far I am through the downloading process, is there a progress indicator I can find? I can't find any indication of progress. Also, not related totally to mavericks, re downloading from the app store, I was under the impression, from the documentation, that an icon of the app that is downloaded, goes to the dock. This does not seem to be happening for me. I can manually add to the dock from the application file. Any ideas please would be appreciated.

RE: Downloading Mavericks
Thanks Tim. Can view it now, all good. Not so good is the time it will take. It reckons its only done 28%, 1.86GB and has a fluctuating time remaining, maybe a couple of hours. I will be waiting a long time. Let's hope it works.

RE: Downloading Mavericks
Just to report back. It's finished downloading and probably took about 3 hours. Once it hit about 60% it showed a time of 20 minutes left but that soon reduced to about 12 minutes.

Amadeus Pro
Hi I have just purchased Amadeus Pro and wonder whether you can help me? When I record with the internal microphone and built-in speakers, it picks up both my speech and voiceover. If I try to plug in an external microphone, or even headphones to monitor the recording, it doesn't include voiceover. How can I make it include my speech and voiceover with an external microphone?

Humanware Brailliant display
Hi Are any of you guys using the Brailliant display with your Mac? I have just paired mine. I am trying to move by the element I have selected in the rotor. I can select which element I want on the rotor, but I can't find the command to move by that rotor element. On the iPhone it is space with dot 6 to move to the next occurrence and space with dot 3 to move to the previous occurrence. These same commands don't seem to work on the Mac. I looked in the voiceover commands for the braille display and there isn't anything listed there. Am I wrong? I am yet to try the BrailleSense U2, so not sure whether I will find the same thing. Update, just tried the BrailleSense and it would appear that the same command is missing. Can anyone verify this for me?

Apple website pop-up menu

When I hit control option space, as voiceover instructed, it activated the link for the first item of that menu, which was something about check order status. Do you know how I can access the rest of the items in the menu without it going and activating what I don't want.

mail on macbook pro
Hi I am new to this group. I have just bought a macbook pro and I am setting things up on it. I have at this time 2 questions concerning the mail app, if that is all right? 1. When I set up an account, on the last screen where it says also set up, the only option I am presented with is the checkbox for notes. The checkboxes for calendar, reminders and contacts are dimmed. I am with xtra which using yahoo, pop3. Does anyone know why these options are dimmed? Has it to do with my isp or type of email account? Any help would be appreciated. 2. An issue when I try going from my inbox, in the list of mailboxes, over to my list of messages. Using the tab key it seems to want to go to about 4 other buttons before it goes over to the list of messages. Is there any way to set the tab, or a key command, to go straight over to my list of messages. Listening to a demo from Applevis David was able to do one push of the tab and went straight across to the list of messages.

Reserve Battery Power warning
Hi again, When the battery is down a dialogue box appears warning of running on reserve battery power. Immediately after this the speech cuts out. I am told that there is an ok button within the box but I am not able to get there without the help of voiceover. Turning voiceover off and on does not bring speech back. Any ideas? If it is a known issue I will make an effort to monitor battery status before it gets to this point.

RE: mail on macbook pro
Thanks for that Nicholas. I figured it was because of POP3. Xtra here does not support IMAP as far as I am aware. I will work through your answer, I would assume to navigate to the right to the message list table is VO plus right arrow? I have noticed when I am in mail, e.g. writing an email, if a new message comes in it reads it. Is there a command to allow the mail to come down but not read it straight away?

This has probably got something to do with your email provider (Yahoo) and/or the fact that you're using POP3. It can also be with the type of account you've set up. I'd strongly recommend you look into using IMAP rather than POP. If you want to import your contacts from Yahoo you might be able to export them from the Yahoo website and then import them into the Contacts app on your MacBook. I'd recommend using your iCloud account for reminders and calendars and the like. 2. When you've selected the mailbox you want, stop interacting with the mailbox list, navigate to the right to the message list table and interact with it.. You could also try VO-J. Another thing to be aware of is you can put mailboxes in your favourites bar, and then use the short cut keys Command with numbers 1 through 9 to move to the first nine mailboxes in your favourites bar. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Initial voiceover at desktop
Hi The initial voice at the desktop when I first turn my macbook pro on has changed. I don't know what I have done. After start up the voiceover used to say "Finder Desktop Macintosh HD selected volume" now it says "Finder Desktop Desktop". When I check where the cursor is with VO F3, it says "Macintosh HD is in the voiceover cursor". When I check my keyboard focus with VO F4, it says "nothing has keyboard focus".

RE: Initial voiceover at desktop
Hi Ricardo Yes voiceover is doing a number of things differently since yesterday. I don't know whether it is related or not, but I did download and install dropbox and I, for the first time, did a backup to time capsule. The different things I notice with voiceover, apart from what I mentioned: 1. When I am in the dock after moving along the dock, when I try to go back to desktop with control option shift D, voiceover just repeats the item it is on in the dock. It does move the voiceover cursor and keyboard focus back to desktop (I can verify that with voiceover plus F3 and F4 respectively); 2. When I am in Safari on Pages (I had no problems with this before), sometimes when I am going through the contents of the page, voiceover just makes a clicking noise on the links instead of reading them. When I move off them and back on, it then reads the link; 3. When I am arrowing through the menus in various built-in applications sometimes (not consistent all the time but only since yesterday) voiceover will start to read the menu item but cut off after maybe one syllable. Arrowing down through the items will do the same, partly read the item but again, not all the time; 4. Again not consistent, occasionally it refuses to talk to me at the login screen despite the setting being enabled for it to do so; and 5. The date and time reads in a different voice and seems to take awhile (I am not sure if this is a recent change or whether voiceover has always done this), as far as I can work out it is using the default voice that the mac came with. I was going very well I thought, until yesterday, having just had the mac for about a week. Is this fixable, being that a number of stupid things are happening, or is it a case of taking the mac back to default (no idea how to do) and starting over? Appreciate any advice.

Apple Time Capsule setup
Hi I am wanting to setup my time capsule to act as a wireless hard drive only. In the initial setup it lets me join an existing network but then the MacBook pro wants to connect to the time capsule instead of the existing router. This means that it does not allow me to see the other computer in the network. I had read somewhere that during the initial setup I would be given the option to setup manually and choose wireless hard drive option. The only other button was options. I clicked on that which showed me the time capsule where the options of joining existing network or creating a new network were given. I joined existing network, which worked but now it does not see the other computers. The mac is effectively talking to just the time capsule. I have done resets to try again but end up with the same options. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

RE: Apple Time Capsule setup
Hi Tim Thanks for taking the time to reply. Not seeing a new network, still able to connect to the internet. It is showing up as another device on the network. Not using the time capsule as a router, using our TP Link router. Since hooking up the time capsule (plugged into power talking wirelessly to the router, I would assume) when I try to see the other computers on the Mac, it just shows the time capsule as the only device in my network. The other two computers that showed up under Shared do not show when the time capsule is plugged in. If the time capsule is unplugged, they show up again. I can't seem to find any way to edit the settings on the time capsule to see what it is doing. The best of what I can figure out, is that the Macbook must be somehow talking only to the time capsule.

That is, it will simply be a part of your network but not broadcasting any extra signal for connecting to. Therefore, as long as it is connected to your primary WiFi router, the only way of accessing it is through your existing WiFi network, it will not be broadcasting anything that segregates you from your other devices. You should not see any new networks available in your WiFi list of available networks. . Are you joining a network hosted by a different Apple WiFi device like a Airport Extreme or Express? .

RE: can't erase disk on old MBA
Hi Donna and list I am thinking with the various peculiarities I am having with voiceover, and given I have only had the Macbook Pro for about 3 weeks, of taking it back to default and starting again with a clean install. Have spoken to Apple accessibility, even did a create a new user, and still the odd problems persist so it was suggested that a clean install would be the way to go. Please report back here to the list if you go ahead so I can see what issues I will have to deal with if I can get my courage to win over my nervousness.

Time capsule as hard drive only
Hi On my list for tomorrow is to do a clean install back to default on my mac (yes putting it off). Before I do, I want to try one more time to get the time capsule up and running. We have a router that works perfectly alright so I intend the time capsule just as a hard drive. I have it connected to our current router via Ethernet cable with wireless turned off on the capsule. The windows computers see the time capsule as a hard drive. The Macbook Pro will see the time capsule and the other windows computers on the network the first time I plug the time capsule in (the Mac is already on at this stage). However when I turn the Macbook Pro off and then back on again later, it only sees the time capsule. To bring all the computers back again I have to unplug the time capsule. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can have the Mac see the time capsule and the other computers all the time despite shutting it down and restarting? The other option perhaps is to let the time capsule create its own network without being plugged into the router. Since I don't need internet access through the time capsule I could manually switch to that network to do a back-up and switch back again? What do you all think?
