Re: signature in mail question
Hi, You’ll need to use the old fashioned drag & drop method. That is, • select the All Signatures from the Signatures table. • stop interacting with the All Signatures table, then navigate to the Names table and interact with it. • navigate to the signature you wish to use. • press VO-cmd-f5 to route the mouse to the VO cursor. • turn off Cursor Tracking with VO-shift-f3. • start the drag action by invoking mouse-down with VO-cmd-shift-space. • stop interacting with the Names table and navigate over to the All Signatures table. • interact with it and navigate to the desired account. • press VO-cmd-f5 to route the mouse to the VO Cursor. •start the drop action by invoking the mouse-up action with VO-cmd-shift-space. • turn Cursor Tracking back on with VO-shift-f3. That should do it.

Re: I am baffled with the accessibility team.
Hi, This changed about a year ago or so. Something to do with making sure that the accessibility team is dealing with accessibility issues instead of regular OS features.

Re: How does Safari behave visually?
Hi, I expect that it’s not a problem at all for the sighted user. My family uses Safari all the time and does not complain. I believe that the slowness for VO users has to do with the OS loading up the buffer with data so that we can do the things we like to do. The entire page contents need to be loaded into the buffer so that we can use the Item Chooser, analyze images, landmarks and web-spots etc. It used to be that it would take forever to load the Item Chooser and now it doesn’t. I’m not familiar with the inner workings of how VoiceOver deals with all this, but that’s my guess. There may be a way of Apple dealing with things differently if we make it known that this is a frustration, but as processing speed improves, maybe it will just go away.

Re: Mac mail server settings disappeared. Help Please
Hi, Adding to Jonathan’s awesome explanation, I really don’t believe that anything has changed over the past few weeks. • for non-Google and non-iCloud accounts, you will still have Incoming and Outgoing server configuration options from within the Server Settings pane of mail Prefs. • iCloud belongs to Apple, so as long as your Apple ID password is entered properly in System Prefs, there’s no extra configuration required. • as mentioned, Google based accounts, whether G Mail, or Google Work Space, are handled in a special manner. The private browser actions will be triggered whenever you use something that notices that the Google password is no longer valid. That is, if you’re in Mail, System Preferences/Internet Accounts, or in a browser. Google will tell you that the password is incorrect and give you the opportunity to fix it. Once you’ve entered the correct password in the private browser session, it is fixed everywhere it needs fixed. • for non-Google, non-iCloud accounts, you are able to change the password in Internet accounts. Keeping this information in mind, there is no need to delete, then re-add, an account when simply changing a password.

Re: For Tim
Hi Martin, Thanks for the update. Regarding your mail issues, it sounds like you've remedied them yourself. Let me explain a few things first though. Apple Mail and gMail have an interesting relationship whereby Apple appears to know that a large number of Mac users do use gMail and want it to work well on their Mac. Google has a pseudo iMap service as well as a desire to keep every darn eMail you ever sent or received. these tend to be kept in the gMail All Mail folder even if eMails are trashed. Therefore, gMail can begin to compile a huge stash of messages that you may or may not wish to have. Consequently, when you first set up your Mail app, all these messages begin downloading to your Mac. This can slow everything down considerably as it is affecting both your network traffic and using up processor resources. What is usually recommended is to leave your Mail app open, with your Mac left running over night. As long as it doesn't go to sleep, gMail and Mail will complete the task, resolve their differences while you sleep, and your Mail app and Mac itself should be much more responsive. As I mentioned, it appears like you may have that beast beat to submission. Regarding your desire to have the Mac automatically login, I will give you the instructions to accomplish this. Although, I will first say that this practice is not recommended by pretty well anyone who supports IT, as it leaves you and your data easily accessed without ever requiring a password. With the disclaimer aside: 1. Open system Preferences. 2. Activate the Users & Groups pane. 3. Unlock the lock near the bottom of the pane. 4. Interact with the Users, Groups & Login Options List area. 5. Navigate to the bottom of this list to the Login Options item. 6. Stop interacting with the Users, Groups & Login Options list area. 7. VO-right once and you should hear VO announce something about auto-login being off. 8. VO-space on this pop-up menu and choose the account you wish to auto login with. 9. You'll be required to enter the password for the account, and you're done. 10. close System Prefs and restart to see if it works. HTH. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Jul 8, 2016, at 06:02, Martin Brown wrote: On your first question Tim, it is pop. Secondly, When I load mail, it has focus on the inbox of my Gmail account. I then tab into my list of emails. If there is an email I wish to read, I press VO plus J to enter the body of the text. To return to the list of emails again I press VO plus J again. To move back to my list of mail boxes, I press shift together with the tab key. As I write this reply, Mail seems to be behaving much better. Bear with me for a moment and I shall try to explain what I done. As I have said in an earlier email I have not been on my Mac for quite a while. However during that time I changed my email provider to Google. Since that time I have been using Outlook on my Windows machine. Of course, I had made sure to check the appropriate check box telling Outlook not to leave a copy of an email on the server once it had been downloaded. Guess what Tim, might as well not have bothered. On the Gmail site there is a combo box which must be set to remove emails once your email client has downloaded it from the site. Now began the fun. When I set up my new account in Mail over forty thousand emails landed in my inbox. I began the process of deleting them, but of course, as fast as I deleted them another copy was downloaded to my inbox. This is when I went to Gmail and found what was wrong and put matters right. I think poor old Mail just got totally overwhelmed. Once my mail boxes on Google had been completely zeroed I then deleted my Gmail account together with the account from my previous provider. I then created my new account and was relieved to see that all my mailboxes were empty. So far, Mail is behaving as it should and is a pleasure to use. On the point about my issue with focus Tim, I agree totally. It is not a problem for me to get around this minor issue. However, for my wife it is rather more of a headache. I do not have to sign in when I boot up my Mac each time, but she has too. I think this has something to do with iCloud. It is then that the problem with focus can be a bit of a pain. I have a friend who has the exact same problem and it is driving him up the wall. Perhaps you, or someone else on the list, might know how to bypass this login screen.

Re: mac book pro, mac book air, or iPad pro?
Hi, Actually, if purchasing new, you won't find a MacBook Pro with built-in DVD drive anymore. When it comes to a decision between the Pro or the Air, you need to look at what you want from your computer and how much you're willing to spend. the Pros have better processors, better displays, usually can accept more RAM and are simply meant for more powerful work. Of course, with all this, comes a higher ticket price, and, why does a blind user require a better display? the Air is a good machine, meant more for the everyday user. It can still do most things that most people would be doing, and actually do it well if you don't take the least expensive model. The iPad Pro is a very nice machine, and iOS is likely the way things are moving towards in the future, but it will be a while before they become one. You can do most everything on an iOS device excepting enterprise tasks, so that's an option as well. the keyboard access with VO on an iDevice is there, but no where near what can be done on a laptop or Desktop unit. So, if you're preferring the MacBook Pro/Air to the iPad, and you're not a power user nor managing enterprise architecture, then the MacBook Air will do just fine. Don't cheap out on specs though, make sure to get at least 8 GB of RAM, at least a 500 GB SSD and upgrade your processor. This will make sure that it lasts you a good long time and maintains its usefulness.

Re: Safari question
hi, Very interesting. Cool how we live in our own little worlds. There's no way in the world that I thought an American resident would not be familiar with the Home Depot. I guess that it's a matter of prospective and what circles we involve ourselves in. Oh well, I digress. Regarding the Home Depot US site, you are totally correct in that it does seem to hang Safari once the search results are attempting to be displayed. The Home Depot Canadian version is a little slow to load, but does work and is usable, but the US version seems to hang indefinitely. The two things that I'd suggest would be first to try searching in Google instead. That is, for example, if you were looking for a freezer, type "freezer home depot" in your Google search field and see if going in the back way makes a difference. the second would be to use the Home Depot app as previously suggested, if you do indeed have an iOS device to do this on. Otherwise, a call to the Home Depot web support people may be in order. Later...

Re: mac book pro, mac book air, or iPad pro?
Hi Max, Apple seems to be focusing on the Cloud and keeping their devices slim and fairly free of, what they might consider, extraneous ports. So, I don't believe that SD slots or some such expansion will be on their radar. I'm not an insider, nor do I have any more insight than most others, it just seems to be the trend historically with Apple products. Who's to say that someone may not develop reliable, quick and portable storage solutions that will work with WiFi, Bluetooth or Lightning technology accessible from your iDevice. Regarding the MacBook Pro or Air, both will do what you're hoping, although the Air would be less expensive. Later...

Re: mac book pro, mac book air, or iPad pro?
Hi, I do realize that there is both WiFi and Lightning storage, my thoughts though were whether there may be something in the future that works with iOS for external storage. Maybe there is and I'm out of the loop, but I haven't noticed it. With respect to pricing, I'm only quoting Canadian pricing from apple.ca where a 13" MacBook Air with 256 GB Flash storage and 8 GB RAM goes for $1449 CAD and a 13" MacBook Pro with 256 GB storage and 8 GB RAM goes for $1799 CAD. Note that the Pro has a faster, more powerful processor, Retina Display, Force-Touch Trackpad and more. So, you are getting more computer for the extra expenditure. Each of these are upgradable with more RAM, more storage etc. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Jul 9, 2016, at 13:15, Alex Hall wrote: There are already both wifi and Lightning storage devices, for the record. As to slots on iOS, I doubt it. Apple released the Retina MacBook last year, including only one port aside from the headphone jack. This suggests less expansion, not more, especially on their mobile products. I, too, have no special knowledge or anything, but I can't imagine them allowing expansion slots to take up space. The Air is, I believe, about $200 cheaper than the Pro. That depends heavily on what processor, drive, and ram configuration you choose, though. I find the Apple Store app on iOS to be a good way of building different Macs to look at their prices, though you can, of course, do that on apple.com <http://apple.com/> too. > On Jul 9, 2016, at 14:28, 'Maxwell Ivey' via MacVisionaries > mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com>> > wrote: > > Hi Tim; I appreciate the feedback. i wonder how much cheaper the air would > be.

This means I can carry it easily to my training event and also take it out for a couple of beers and play with it. However, I'm not buying a new machine. I'm buying a refurnished model from the Apple Store in Glasgow. I've already been told that they can give me a 13 inch, 2015 model for £625.00. A brand new Macbook Air is £800.00. When I asked as to why they would have so many almost new computers for sale, I was told that loads of buyers freek out at the new OS and return it within 14 days. So for a saving of £175.00 I'd be getting an almost new computer. I thought it was worth considering this option. Very best wishes.

Re: mac book pro, mac book air, or iPad pro?
Hi, You are totally correct Scott with respect to blind users and the use case. For the most part, the comment about blind users requiring a nice screen was meant as a funny, but I can see where it may have fallen flat. Myself, I also work with sighted people all the time, and, for work, have my souped up 2011 15" MBP, a couple iMacs, some MacPros and some rather old iMacs as well just for fun. I often dim the screen in meetings and forget to turn it back up for others when they wish to see what's on my screen. I just tell them that I can see it just fine like that, what's their problem :). Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Jul 9, 2016, at 18:37, Scott Granados wrote: Well this blind user requires a better graphics processor because rendering network diagrams is faster as well as the operating of other visually intense applications. Also, this blind user works with sited coworkers who need to look over his shoulder. So there are some applications where a blind person who you might not think has any need for a screen does. Maybe not for direct use but there can be other benefits.

Simon, I've messed with a number of 2011 and 2012 MBP's and in most cases, I've just removed the optical drive and slid the spinning HD over into its slot, put the new SSD in where the spinning used to be, then, using Terminal, made them into a Fusion drive. As with the addition of any SSD, the performance has improved exponentially. Personally, I so seldom need the optical drive, it just seemed better to create the Fusion array instead. Later...

So as always, keep good backups in case you need to reformat to boost up that speed again. If you can swing it go SSD sooner than later. That’s even a bigger deal than memory to me because of the massive boost in performance from rotating disks to all solid state. Let us know if you need any help on that Mac. I like your move here buying a computer that doesn’t break the bank to get started with and no pressure or time constraints. I think you’re making a good move.

I’d go for it, excellent choice. You should swap out that drive though, you’ll have a Mac that performs much more like a later model and you’ll be happier. If money is really tight you could do something like a 128 GB SSD for $100 or so maybe even less by now and then just put your near line data on an older style rotating model with your high demand stuff and program files on the SSD. In fact, not to throw to much at you but you could just by a case for $25 or so, pull that 500GB drive, slap it in the case, insert a smaller sized or larger depending on funds SSD in the Mini and connect the 500 as a removable. Or I believe there’s a second bay if you want to have both internal. Sounds like a good deal though. Put 32GB of memory in there and you’ve got a powerhouse that will last you a good long time as well as make it fun to learn on for small dollars.

Re: iMac fusion Drive versus standard Drive
Hi, I cannot comment on VM-ware fusion per say as I don't use it myself. But, I have heard quite a number of people, both in this community, and the sighted community speak very highly of it. Regarding a Fusion drive vs a regular spinning drive, you will notice a considerable performance difference. All the System files and those which are access often, are normally placed on the SSD or Flash portion of the fusion array, giving you extremely fast access rates. When I created my personal Fusion drive both on my MacBook Pro and my home MacPro, the performance improvements were very noticeable. I'd say to the factor of three to five times in some situations. for example, from power up to the Login screen takes five to seven seconds with the new Fusion setup, whereas it took 30 to 40 seconds with just a spinning drive.

With this in mind, keeping in mind the fact that I do plan on upgrading to macOS Sierra when it comes out, is VMware fusion a viable solution after El Capitan?

Re: Sharing on Apple TV
Simon, No, Home Sharing doesn't work between different locations. But, if the video media has been purchased through iTunes, then it is accessible to anyone using that same Apple ID no matter where they are. Similarly, with Apple Music or iTunes Match, where music media is stored in the Cloud, that too is accessible to any other ATV using the same Apple ID. So, in my case, my father lives about 16 hours away in British Columbia and has access to my library. Later...

Hi Chris, MacJournal has been accessible since way back in the mid 00's. Mariner Software has a huge commitment to accessibility and this is not an accident at all. There are also other apps under their umbrella that are very accessible as well, although I haven't visited them for quite a bit.

Re: only want to back up a few items
Hi, Time Machine may still work. If you tell it to exclude the /Applications folder, the system folder and the Library folder, it will bring up a warning about whether you wish to exclude some System files or all of them. If you choose all of them, then you can significantly reduce the backup size. I believe that CCC or SuperDuper may work for you as well, although I haven't used them for backups like this. The beauty of using any of these solutions is that they will perform incremental backups automatically, just saving what has been changed. this is usually much more efficient than simply copying things over every few days.

Re: Opinions On This Used Mac Mini
Hi, I agree totally with your assessment here.

It runs quite well with El Capitan now. Later...

Scott, MacPro it is. I have three at various locations within our School District, a few older X-Serves and some good old Mac Minis all running as OS X Servers and I liked the MacPro so much, I got one for home as well. It's a 2009 model, so doesn't have the oomph that the newer cylindrical ones do, but it's a work-horse. I do also have a MacBook Pro, but that's a different story. Later...

Re: This blind Apple engineer is transforming the tech world at only 22
Hi, I love reading this personal historical info on folks. Sure, off topic, but totally acceptable in my world. The common thread here is supportive and progressive parents and teachers. I really didn't use Braille until my late teens, probably due to having some usable sight and an immature desire to not be considered blind. Consequently, my Braille is limited to Grade 1, and primarily only used to cheat, oops, I mean play cards with others. I was a classroom teacher for about 25 years then moved into Admin as a Technology Consultant and Project Manager for a new Science & Tech Centre in our School District. Probably 95% of my computer experience has been with Apple products with a smattering of Digital Equipment Main Frames and Windows. Later...

Probably had I had a need to do something specific with it--and frankly, had I also been a little older--I would have been more driven to stick with it. It's funny, I still have my Optacon.

Re: Collaborating on Google Docs with an iPad and the docs app or on the Mac
hi, Docs is actually just a web-based word processor. I'd agree that it's probably easiest for you to use on your iPad. It's actually quite accessible, although you may need to use arrow keys while in the text area of the shared document instead of VO navigation. Haven't been in a collaboration session for a bit, so can't recall if you need to do anything special to refresh the content when on an iPad. On the web, it tends to do it automatically, which can sometimes mess you up when in the document. Overall, I would guess that it's not that difficult to learn as it is quite straight forward on the iOS version. Later...

Once focus is on the Mailbox you wish it to be moved to, just press return.

Re: This blind Apple engineer is transforming the tech world at only 22
Hi Scott, I guess us Canadians are fairly progressive :). Actually, it seems to just take the right leadership willing to give it a try. When I first interviewed over 28 years ago for the School District I currently work for, the Assistant Superintendent interviewed me. My blindness didn't seem to phase him at all, and he went back to the Superintendent and recommended to hire me to teach Math and Computer Science in our schools. We do not have any "Schools for the blind" out here in the west, so my upbringing and subsequent classroom teaching experience was all in mainstream schools. Yes, it took some "I'll show you" attitude sometimes, but that only works with open minded people in the first place. Positive attitudes and perseverance go a long way and help to make in-roads for better acceptance and openness in the future for persons with various disabilities or challenges. Oh well, enough spouting off from me for now. Later...

On another list I learned of a low vision registered nurse which surprised me as well as engine rebuilders and furniture builders. The only blind person I’ve ever ran in to in a professional setting randomly was in Canada. The curator of the Alexander Graham Bell museum was blind and gave me quite a tour. Got to touch a lot of the old phone equipment which for me was so cool since it’s the foundation of everything I work in today. I haven’t met any other blind people other than on lists in customer facing positions. I did see several going to work though when I worked out west. I find myself as guilty of being surprised when someone has a job I don’t understand how they do and being surprised which in the same breath makes me even more guilty for reacting like a sited person that way.

Hi, Check if your new Mac is authorized. Go under the Account menu to Authorize, then to its sub-menu. Try to authorize your Mac. If it allows you to authorize it, then you should be OK. There are two main errors that could come up here. If you already have five computers authorized, then you'll need to de-authorize one or all in order to make room for this new one. Or, if it is already authorized, then it will tell you so, and then there's something odd going on. Later...

Re: old time machine not deleting
Hi, On the backup drive, there should be an item named Computer_Name which would be a Sparse Disk Image bundle. This is where backups for Time Machine reside. This is an openable item. If you wish to remove it and start from scratch, just throw it in the Trash. The next time Time Machine goes to complete a backup, it will give you an error message about the backup missing or being modified, just confirm that you still wish to use this drive and it will begin the backup process all over again. Note that in this case though, the backup may take quite a while as it needs to start over. When determining why old backups are not deleting, consider two things. First, the external drive that you're using should be at least twice as big as the drive you're backing up. This allows for the compression/decompression process of the backups during the Time Machine process. Second, if you use this drive to store other items besides your Time Machine backups, then the deleting of older backups usually will not occur. You need to make sure that this backup drive is only for Time Machine. You are able to partition the disk so that one volume is just for Time Machine backups and other volumes are for other data if you wish, but the Time Machine location should only be used for Time Machine backups.

Re: Deleting a Time Machine Backup in the trash
Hi, If you restart your Mac, you should be able to empty the trash. Regarding a better backup solution, others may disagree, but I believe that Time Machine is your best option. How much of your 2 TB internal is free? The recommendation of a drive being twice the size of what it's backing up assumes that you're using a large portion of its space. If you are using less than 1 TB on your internal drive, then a 2 TB external should do the trick. Later...

Re: old time machine not deleting
Hi, Yes, in system Prefs you'll find only the name of the computer. On your external HD, where the backup is stored, will be what Time Machine uses as it's backup format, a Sparse Disk Image. It will be named the same as your computer name. If you Trash that, restart your Computer, then you should be able to empty the Trash and create a new backup. Depending on a few things, there are occasions where you need to turn off Time Machine first before it will allow the elimination of the old backup. Turning off Time Machine is found in the Time Machine pane of System Preferences. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Jul 15, 2016, at 14:59, Jean wrote: Hi Tim: Thanks for the reply.

Re: Can't delete my time machine backups folder due to not having permissions?
Hi, To verify that you're an Admin, go into system Preferences, Users & Groups and interact with the Users, Groups & Login Options list. Your user will be listed there and should also announce whether it's just a "User" or an "Admin". Regarding emptying the Trash, The Backup item is still linked to Time Machine, so it will not allow you to totally get rid of it. To get around this, go into System Preferences, Time Machine and turn Time Machine off. Once it is off, you should be able to empty the Trash. If not, then you may still need to restart then empty. After it has been emptied, you can go back into System Prefs, Time Machine and turn it back on. Later...

Re: Deleting a Time Machine Backup in the trash
Simon, That's a very good suggestion. I've done just that on occasion. If your backup folder is rather large, like 2, 3 or 4 TB, it actually takes quite a while to empty the Trash. It can even make you believe that your computer has hung, even though it has not. Once you turn off Time Machine, you can then erase the HD where the backup resides, and it will be a much quicker and actually cleaner process for your backup HD. Later...

Re: Reformatting drives on Mac: which entry in the table?
Hi, If changing it from NTFS to an Apple File System, I'd use the physical disk, not the volume label. In most cases, it just matters what you plan on using the disk for. The physical disk maps out what volumes etc are present, and the items in the sub-list are the volumes present on the physical disk. So, if it's only going to be used for a Mac, especially if it's possible that you wish it to be used for Time Machine as well., then it's best to format it as MacOS Extended (Journaled). HTH.

Re: Reformatting drives on Mac: which entry in the table?
Hi, You are right with respect to the first item in the list. With respect to your question about only formatting the volume, I'm not totally sure as I've never tried it. You are able to have both Mac and Windows based partitions on one physical disk, but I've never tried it with the initial partition map being NTFS. If it did work, you would not be able to boot from that disk, nor be able to use it for Time Machine, but likely for data.

Re: Overdrive for the Mac.
Hi Kawal, When I pressed the Mac link, the download just started automatically. So, even though it seemed to take you to an empty page, if you check in your Downloads folder, the installer dmg should be there. Not sure how accessible things are after that. Later...

Re: Two First Generation Track Pad Questions
Hi, If the MacMini was purchased with the Trackpad straight from Apple, it is usually already paired for you. If not, upon startup, it should ask to pair. Yes, the button is a power button. Usually, I hold it in for about two seconds to power it up. There's no real need to power it down as it simply goes to sleep to conserve battery power when not in use.

Re: Two First Generation Track Pad Questions
Hi, I don't use my TrackPad that much as I primarily use the VO key navigation, so my estimate may be off. I hope not for your sake. Also, when I purchased my TrackPad, I purchased it with an Apple rechargeable battery pack thing. It came with three sets of double-A batteries and an Apple charger thing. The batteries on this unit work quite well. If one buys cheap, discount store batteries, it may go through them faster too. Good luck. Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Jul 17, 2016, at 14:36, Arnold Schmidt wrote: It will be interesting to see which one of the following my track pad ends up being. You say that a set of batteries lasts for months. I also have read that probably the most negative thing about the first generation track pad was, they can go through a set in less than a week.

Re: Time Machine
Hi, Similar process. 1. Up to the Extras menu and choose Time Machine. 2. Select Enter Time Machine. This will automatically bring you to the newest Time Machine backup. To access older ones... 3. Use the Window Chooser (VO-f2-f2) and choose Time Machine Controls. There will be a Vertical Slider in this Controls window where you can go through the backups you have, or you can press the Previous button to go back through them. When you have the date and time of the backup you wish to remove, or use in some other fashion, use the Window Chooser to get back to the other window once again. If you wish to remove the entire backup for that timeline... 4. Go to the Sidebar, under Devices and choose your computer. 5. Interact with the Scroll area and select your HD. 6. Up to the Toolbar, under the Actions menu and choose Delete this Backup. Should do the trick. Later...

No spiders of any consequence, only a few snow snakes in the mountains, although they're actually just stories we tell to freak out tourists, lots of empty space, mostly free medical care and lots of us tough guys who don't even bother wearing a jacket when it's below freezing. Then again, it's bloody hot in the summer, -45 C in the winter, not much of a Fall or Spring, wildfires that send us out of our city for months, lots of taxes and millions of mosquitos that could gang up and haul you away for dinner.

Re: Timer in iOS Camera?
Chris, HDR is a feature they introduced a while back, in iOS 8, I think. What it does is analyze the pictures taken close together and combines the best parts of each into one. At least, from a computer prospective's point of view. I believe, by default, all the pictures are kept, but you can change this in the Settings for your camera on the iDevice. Later...

Also, if the cat is out of the bag hewre, then please may I profusely apologize. I don't have an iOS 9 device to test this with, and I don't use the camera enough to know, so if I am revealing something that is only iOS 10, then just write me and say, that's only in iOS 10. You don't need to further explain, as I don't want NDA being broken, public or not, but generally in iOS 9, does the camera have a filters button within the viewfinder screen before snapping a pic? If so, what is it for? Yes, you are correct HDR was turned on. I presume that means high def resolution? Again, I still don't understand why blending the photos into one is such a good thing. Can you further explain? I guess, as long as it's not saving all 5 or whatever of those photos seperetly in my camera roll, that's the main thing. --- Christopher Gilland JAWS Certified, 2016.

Re: Moving WiFi networks on MacOS El Capitain
Hi, This process works in El Capitan. Using VO-comma and VO-period will work if you're only moving it up or down within the visible networks. Once the original network goes out of the scroll list, VO can't seem to handle it. Using the old fashioned Drag & Drop method will work though. So, for example, I have a network named Chateau Lacombe way down my list and I wish to move it much higher in the priority, then I'd navigate to the Chateau Lacombe network (Press VO-cmd-f5 if your cursors aren't following each other), then VO-shift-cmd-space to activate the mouse down action, then VO-up to the item I'd like it to be above, press VO-cmd-f5 to route the mouse to the VO-cursor and finally press VO-shift-cmd-space to drop it. Often, you need to use the VO-cmd-f5 after the drag as I've found that the cursors don't follow each other properly during this process. HTH. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Jul 23, 2016, at 09:05, Jonathan Cohn wrote: Good Morning, For the first time since upgrading, I needed to change the priority of networks in my WiFi settings. My memory was that there were move up and move down buttons just beyond the table of networks I have joined that you have to get to by interacting with a group. I could not find this, so I tried several techniques (highlighted below) to drag the last network up the list. I was unsuccessful in doing this with Voiceover. Before I report to Accessibility, could somebody else confirm this is impossible. The basic procedure is: 1. Open System Preferences 2. Switch to Network and then unlock the preference pane. 3. Click the Advanced Button. This brings up a table of networks where you can select one at a time and edit settings, add and remove stations and change priority. The panel states drag and drop to change the order. My attempts were as follows: 1. Try Option arrows and control arrows. 2. Use vo drag / drop (vo-, followed by vo - .) 3. Try moving mouse to VO cursor and using the mouse down / mouse up VO keystrokes. 4. Use VO move object keystroke on different interaction levels of the table of networks (vo-command-accent ) Please let me know if you can think of any other approaches. Also, if somebody on a Beta version would like to let me know if perhaps this is an already resolved issue so I don't have to bug Accessibility over an issue that has been resolved in the latest code fix.

Re: Moving WiFi networks on MacOS El Capitain
Hi Jonathan, Interesting. I was doing this with 10.11.6. I find the VO-comma/Vo-period method unreliable, but the old fashioned Drag & Drop works every time. Did it work for you? I was a little confused by your response knowing whether it worked, or whether you were just having issues with it announcing properly. Sorry. Regarding if it its announcing properly, do you have VO set to announce what's under the Mouse Cursor? That setting is in the VO Utility, Verbosity in the Announcements tab. I have mine checked and the delay set to zero. Later... Later...

Re: Fill in Numbers
Hi, Say for example that you have 1234 in Cell D2 and you'd like that same number in D2 through D232. You could enter the number into D@ then hold your shift and arrow down to D232, but that would be painful. If D232 happens to be the bottom of your spreadsheet, then, first make sure that you're focused on D2, then hold ctrl and shift, then press the down arrow. This will select everything from D2 to the bottom of that column, which happens to be D232. If D232 is not right at the bottom of the sheet, then make sure that focus is on D2, then press VO-shift-f3 (add FN if needed) to turn off cursor tracking. Now, navigate down to D232 the quickest way you can, then press VO-cmd-f5 to bring the mouse to the VO-cursor. Then press the shift key and click your Trackpad once. This should select D2 through D232 inclusive. Now that those cells are selected, press VO-m to go up to the menubar, press t to take you to the Table menu, press the down arrow once, then press a, u which should land you on Auto Fill. Press the right arrow once to open the sub-menu and then down once to Fill Down. All cells from D2 through D232 will now have 1234 in them. If this is text, the same will occur. If this is a formula, Numbers will adjust the cell references accordingly. Later...

Re: Question: How To Disable Auto-Complete in Safari in El Capitan?
Hi, According to my research, this Terminal command is supposed to accomplish what you're wishing for: defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeFancyURLCompletionList -bool NO The problem is, it doesn't appear to stop the Auto Complete action. Using Terminal to read the Safari defaults: defaults read com.apple.safari shows that this Auto Complete line is not present in the plist file before initiating the command but is present after. It still doesn't seem to make a difference though. Apple likely has some reason why they've removed this option, but it doesn't seem to be enough of an issue to have much noise on the web. Later...

Basically, what I'm therefore seeking is an easy way to take this file, and split it into 2 mp3 files both of which would be less than 80 minutes. Ideally, I'd like the first disc to be around 78 minutes. I know I have up to 80, but I'd rather leave just a bit of wiggle room to insure no disc writing errors along the way. Then, what ever is left over could go on the 2nd CD. I know I could do this with ProTools, but then I have to create a whole session, take that mp3 import it into the session, edit it down, bounce it out, take the same mp3, make another session, import the mp3 again, edit it to the second half, bounce it out... you get the idea... it's tedious, and annoying. One may say, that's just part of audio engineering. Yeah, you're right. It is. I'll give that one to ya, but is there not maybe a program that could split it at a marker point a bit more quickly and easily? I don't have Amadeus Pro, but I suppose I could buy it, if you all think it would help. I'm a little low this month, but if I've gotta do it, I've gotta do it. I also do have Logic Pro X, but I'd really really rather not go that route, as to me, Logic is very confusing. It's doable, but it's definitely not for the faint of heart. Before anyone asks, why not use Garageband, I guess I could, but again, that would involve a lot of importing, bouncing, reimporting, rebouncing, etc. I just want something open the original file, jump to 78 mins even, select from there to the end of the file, and delete, savbe that file with a different name, reopen the original file, go to 78 mins even, select from there to the beginning of the file, delete, save the file with another name for the second half, and boom. Mission accomplished. Is there not something that would make it that easy? Chris. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Re: Two iphone questions.
Hi, Regarding your first question, this is a relatively new feature introduced either late in iOS 8 or in iOS 9, I can't remember off the top of my head. I don't believe that it is configurable. It usually brings up the audio controls for music or iBooks, whichever you were listening to last. It sometimes will also focus on other streaming services if you've used them lately. To stop music from being able to stream, this will depend on how restrictive you wish to be. If you only want it to stop streaming when you're on Cellular Data, then go into Settings, Music and turn off Cellular Data for streaming. If you wish it to be totally disabled, you'll also need to turn off your iCloud Music Library which is similarly found in Settings, Music. Later...

Re: Music and iPhone six.
Hi, Yes, it should. Your Apple ID should still be signed in in the iTunes & Appstore area of settings. What it should do is make it so that you either download music directly to your iPhone, or use iTunes to purchase the music and transfer it over via iTunes as well. That's what I'd expect to happen. Let me know if something different occurs, and I'll dig deeper. Later...

Re: backing up and doing a clean install
Hi Erik, When you look at the contents of the Home folder in your backup location, is the Library folder present? It usually isn't that large, but it's possible. If the Library is not present, then it likely was hidden in your Home folder on your Mac, thus didn't get copied over. If "Library" is hidden in the Home folder on your Mac, go to your Finder, then press cmd-shift-h to open the Home folder and press cmd-j to bring up the View options. Down near the bottom of that View options window, there will be a checkbox for showing the Library folder. Make sure it is checked. It is relatively simple to do the clean install of Yosemite, if that's what you'd prefer. As long as Yosemite is the system currently running on your machine, you'd start up from the Recovery HD, erase the Macintosh HD using Disk Utility, then quit out of the Disk Utility and select Re-Install MacOS X. This will usually install the version of MacOS that you currently have on your Mac. Of course, you need to make sure that your backup is good first, but after installation is complete, you're able to use the Set-up Assistant to bring that Home folder back over. A Time Machine backup would be a safer solution, but if you're really set on the clean install, then Time Machine kind of defeats the purpose of that. I've done more or less the same as you. That is, simply installing one new system over the previous with no ill effects. I don't believe that it's an issue to proceed through MacOS versions in this manner. Apple expects that this is one of the stable methods to accomplish system upgrades. Later...

The trackpad and keyboard are going in this mackbook aftern nearly five years and I'm leaning towards mobile for everything.First question. After Rsync, the backup home folder was just over 100 gig while the original was about 195 gig. I have checked, and based on the sizes, documents, downloads, music, and all of the other folders I regularly use copied in tact. I combed through pretty carefully, but was unable to determine where the space discrepancy occurred. On the other hand, my home folder is reporting 195 gb in size, my free disk space seems to be around 100 gb, and my apps and other system files haven't been taken into account. So, Either something is wrong with my file system, or my 250 gb ssd has been visited by the space fairy. Disk utility says the disk is OK though there were over 1100 permission errors which I am now fixing. Should I be worried about this? ...especially in lite of my second question. I am pretty terrified of elcap, but if this system is on it's way out, I want to scrub this ssd clean and install a brand new instalation of elcap. I don't want to use the latest and greatest myself, but I don't want my personal data going out with the computer. Does apple let ordinary people do such a thing? My current instalation is 5 or 7 years old. No word of a lie. It started at snow leopard I thinkg. That was the last instalation disk I got from apple ever, and since then I've siply installed any upgrades I wanted right over top of the old stuff. I've even transfered this install between several macs that I owned at various times. Since I'm preparing for the worst, it would be worth it to me to scrub this system if I can do that and keep yosemity. I'm hoping there's some option in recovery manager or somewhere that will let me whipe everything and make a clean install. Thanks for any info and suggestions.

Re: Who's playing at Arthur's Tavern tonight?
Hi, I went to the site which I'm assuming you're speaking of. Arthur's Tavern in New York City. Rather far away for me, but the web-site's close. With Safari and VO web navigation set to Group mode, I was able to press VO-cmd-t to find the table, then VO-shift-down to interact with the table. Once inside the table, I could navigate with VO-left/right/up/down through the various cells in the table telling me who played on each day of the wee. I believe that it was the Grove Street something-or-other on Mondays. It's possible that this site is more difficult using DOM or tab navigation, but It seemed very accessible to me using Group navigation and VO keys. Later...

Re: iTunes question
Hi, When interacting with the Music table, press VO-shift-back slash to bring focus up to the Headers. Navigate right or left until you find the Artist header. Press VO-cmd-shift-spacebar to lock the mouse down. VO-left until you focus on the Song name, then press VO-cmd-shift-spacebar to toggle off the mouse-down lock.

Re: iTunes question
Hi, to add to what Simon mentioned, you actually don't even need to stop the song to change the items within the Get Info window. Most of the tagging you're wanting to change is in the Details tab, which is the default tab when opening the Get Info dialog. Since it is the default, you are also able to just hit your tab key a number of times to move through the various Title, Artist, Composer etc fields. Press return when you're done. Later...

Re: help with get info please
Hi, In these cases, just keep typing what you want it to be Artist field in the manner you wish it to appear. From then on, that will be one of the choices. If you don't want things like Michael Jackson to appear in all caps, you'll need to search for Michael Jackson in your Music Library and fix the instances of the all caps version. This will make it so that it does not come up as a choice in the future. Later...

That would be ok accept I don't want to select from those artists. So to understand better what I mean here's an example. I start to type Michael Jackson and of course it matches that but the selection it's matching is in all caps and I don't want it that way, but it won't let me select to type the name the way I want it. Maybe a better understanding and example is this. I'm typing an artists name in Greek which needs to have an accent above a certain letter, itunes is automatically bringing up suggestions but the one that matches what I'm typing doesn't have the accent. I want to type it the way I want not the way it's showing it but it won't let me. I hope I haven't confused you guys too much. Hope some one understood what I've described and can help.

Re: I hate mouse keys!!!
Hi Donna, Mouse-keys can be toggled on and off by pressing the Option key five times. If your keyboard is getting tired, sometimes the Option key sort of presses multiple times when you have it down which will thus turn your mouse-keys on. The easiest thing to do to fix this issue is to turn off the five presses of the Option key feature. To turn this feature off, go to System Preferences, Accessibility, then select Mouse and racked from the table. Stop interacting with the table and navigate right to the Options button. In the dialog that appears, uncheck the item that talks about toggling Mouse-keys on/off with the Option key. Now, as long as mouse-keys are off, that toggle will not turn them on. The only way you'll be able to turn Mouse-keys on will be to check the box in the Accessibility pane. Later...

Re: airport express in enterprise
Hi, I've never used it with a Radius server other than Xserve., but according to the documentation, it should be totally doable. From what I can tell, just use Airport Utility to access the Express, then in the Wireless tab, in the Security area, set it to WPA2 Enterprise. It should ask you for the IP of the Radius server and Airport Utility should do the rest for you. I can't verify this for you, but it sounds like it should work and the configuration is quite simple.

Re: How Are "Home Made" Ringtones Installed
Hi, As long as they are m4r Ring-tones, you should be able to put them into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder and they'll be put into the proper location in iTunes. You could also use the Add to Library item under the File menu while in iTunes. Once they are imported into iTunes you can transfer them to the iPhone using the normal process. Later...

Re: Using Apple TV the fourth generation without a TV
Hi, The Apple TV simply connects with an HDMI cable. Therefore, it should be no problem plugging it into a Samsung or any other TV model for that matter as long as it has HDMI input. It is extremely difficult to plug it into the incorrect port on the back of the TV as the HDMI cable will only fit into the HDMI port on the TV. Later...

Re: Mail Signatures in iCloud a perplexing situation and extremely frustrating.
Hi, The signatures are likely synced across your machines via iCloud. So, it will propagate to each machine that you have iCloud Mail services enabled. These signatures created on other machines will propagate to the All Signatures section but not necessarily to the specific account. It can be moved to that account with some work, but I don't believe that it is an automatic process. HTH. Later...

Using my I Mac, I created a signature (as you will have read) so no need for detail. However, when using my Mac Mini which is on the same network as it’s in my bed room upstairs, if I go to mail preferences all signatures, I can read my signature which is in my all signatures tables. Please understand that in the first instance I made sure the original signature was associated with my iCloud account. But when going back in to the body of my new message, I can’t select that signature even though the signature can be read in mail preferences. Does anyone know why this is the case? I know you must select an account for the signature to be associated with but my original signature is associated with my I cloud account and I should not be able to read it with my Mac Mini but I can.

Re: pdf converter
Hi, I'm not sure I totally understand but if you're asking about converting documents to pdf format, then you simply need to open the original document, press cmd-p to bring up the Print dialog (or choose Print from the File menu).

Re: Apple TV questions
Hi, It only works at the setup time or if you were to restore it. As long as the ATV is connected to your TV or Stereo with the volume turned up to an appropriate level, the ATV will say "English" when it is ready for you to move forward with VO on. At this point, simply press the Play button, lower right, three times. Don't press it too fast or too slow, then VO will come on just fine. If you press the Select button, center of the circle, the setup will move on without VO and you'll have to either unplug the ATV and start over or get sighted assistance as the triple-click will no longer work after this point.

My family tends to get a little annoyed with the ATV talking all the time so I've just found it easier that way. When VO is off and I do wish to use the ATV itself, I've memorized the path to turn it on. It's fairly easy, in my opinion, just to the following: • Press and hold the menu button for six seconds or so to bring the ATV to the Main menu. (or press the menu button lots of times until it seems like it's at the Main menu). It should bonk at you if sounds are set up properly. • Press the right arrow until it bonks, which will put you on the Settings item. If yours doesn't bonk for some reason, just press it 7 or 8 times, that should get you there. • Press the Select button twice, not a double press, just two times separated by a teeny bit so it will react properly. This will put you in the General settings area. • Press your down arrow until it bonks, then press the up arrow four times. This will place you on the Accessibility item. • Press the Select button twice. Same idea as earlier, don't press them so fast that it is like a double-press, just press it two times. VO will now be on. HTH. Later... On 2012-03-26, at 1:05 PM, Daniel Miller wrote: > Hi, > > Unfortunately, there's no way to mute VO.

Re: Terminal Commands For Hiding and Showing Files?
Hi Teresa, I'll paste in what I sent to John a yesterday. It should work the same for you. Remember that these items should remain visible: Applications, Library, System, and Users. There may be other items such as User Guides and Information and/or any files you may have purposely or accidentally saved there. Try this in Terminal, the stuff in brackets is just for your info, it doesn't need typed: cd / (should put you to the root level) ls (Will list your files at that level. Just to ensure ther isn't a double of the offending file) chflags hidden /filename (where "filename" is the exact filename of the offending file) You should be able to Quit Terminal and the file should now be hidden. HTH. Later... On 2012-03-26, at 1:05 PM, Teresa Cochran wrote: > Hi, all, > > I don't remember how I enabled this, but all my hidden files are showing in > Finder.

Re: Apple TV questions
Hi Les, There is a known bug in the latest update that affects the listing of items. It is especially annoying when in the list of TV Shows from your given computer. It does not appear to arrange them properly. In fact, if you have a large number of TV shows in your Library, it's almost impossible to locate what you want whether your sighted or a VO user. For this bug, I've used my Remote app on my iPhone/iPad and everything works as it should using this method. I suggested it as a workaround on the Apple Discussions forum as well. It appears that it has something to do with iTunes 10.6 and the latest ATV software. I assume Apple will fix it soon but in the meantime, my Remote app is my best tool. Later...
