My right Command key does not work

2015-07-19 Thread Tom Frank
For the last two days, my right Command key does not work as a Command key. The 
left one works. Right Command Key Q does not quit an application.  Quick nav is 
turn off and Keyboard help says its a Command key. Any ideas?
I just tried sending this message with the standard Command Shift D combination 
and nothing happened. It will go fine with the left Command Shift D combination.

Moving to the next cell in Numbers

2015-10-02 Thread Tom Frank
How do I finish entering data into a Numbers field and move to the next cell? 
This is a very simple operation but I have not been able to figure it out. 
“Enter” kicks me out of the entire table.

Update to 10.11.1 fixed mail crashing

2015-10-24 Thread Tom Frank
Mail would open then “quit unexpectedly.” In frustration I checked if there 
were any updates, and yes, there was one to 10.11.1 that fixed the problems. I 
recommend that everyone updates.

Logic or Sibelius for music notation

2013-12-21 Thread Tom Frank
I have some usable vision and have ZoomText installed on my I-Mac. Sibelius 
menus and the like can be used with VO, but not key signatures and many other 
features. Is Logic any better. Could I use Logic with VO and ZoomText? Anyone 
out there have any other ideas for music notation software. 

I know this question has been asked before, but I'm hoping there have been some 
new options for those of us who want to write music and are not braille 
literate.

Re: Anybody know how to turn off the sound's in voice over in iOS?

Hi there Jerry,
You can turn the sound volume under Sounds in Settings down to zero. Then three 
finger double tap to turn off voice over speech. that should shut up your I

Re: Visual input concerning screen brightness.

2011-06-10 Thread Tom Frank
Hi there Esther,,

I have an I Mac with a normal Apple wireless keyboard. Whether I'm in the 
Display control panel and turn the brightness to zero, or move up and down the 
brightness scale with F14 and F15, nothing seems to happen. 

The screen curtain works fine turning my screen totally dark. 

There is no sensor on the I Mac so, I assume, there is no automatic brightness 
selection option.

Any ideas?

So far, it works perfectly. I can finally reduce the brightness of my I Mac.

Re: Zoom text for Mac

2013-02-08 Thread Tom Frank
ZoomText is not a screen reader, and as there questions and answers state, they 
have no interest in making a screen reader for the Mac.

AI squared only makes products for low vision users. Their Windows products 
include some text to speech features, but, no matter what, you need some vision 
to navigate.
 although Voice Over is fantastic, Apple has not done a very good job on Screen 
magnification software. Therefore, I believe there is a definite void for third 
party developers to fill.

Re: Zoom text for Mac

2013-02-11 Thread Tom Frank
The demo is free, so just download it and try it out for yourself.

I find the Mac 'zoom to be a minimal magnification program. It does little to 
smooth out the jaggies and there are few color enhancements. 

'zoom Text lets you change cursors, pointer, colors, small and large 
magnification levels, finders, and a bunch more. 

If the built in Mac magnification works for you, great. It doesn't for me.  
Remember that someone can't just say, gee, they have a great feature; let's 
borrow it. There are copyright and trademark laws. 

Apple has never made a great magnification program and I don't think they ever 
will. 

When I could see better, CloseView was all I needed. But now, I need a more 
sophisticated program with a lot more features. 

I must admit that ZoomText is a bit pricy, but AI Squared does have to make a 
profit and we're not talking millions of potential customers.

Bottom line, it's better than what Apple has to offer, If it meets your needs, 
buy it. And, if it doesn't, then just try out the demo and leave it at that.

Speech rate gone wild

2014-11-21 Thread Tom Frank
Since updating to Yosemite, I have two speech rates. I can change the speech 
rate in menus and controls with the standard Command Shift Control, up and down 
arrow combination.
 However, when VO reads text, like what I am typing now, it is read at a faster 
rate that I cannot, for the life of me, find a way to slow down. what am I 
missing?Tom Frank

Re: Speech rate gone wild

I took your advice and unchecked the voices option button. But, no matter what 
I did, it rechecked itself on restart. I finally reset all VO options to 
default and it seems to have fixed the problem.

Re: I cannot get gmail pop mail service to work

2010-11-15 Thread Tom Frank
Hi there,
My son the computer engineer helped me yesterday. He had to clear out all of my 
preferences because they had become corrupted.

Make sure you have Mail also set up to receive POP mail. 

I originally had Gmail set up as an IMAP acount and it gave me nothing but 
problems. 

Bottom line; it sounds like your problem may be with Mail and not with GMail.

Good luck.

Re: I cannot get gmail pop mail service to work

2010-11-15 Thread Tom Frank
Hi there all,

POP is Post Office protocol. It simply downloads all of your new messages to 
your computer for you to read.

IMAP is Internet Message Access Protocol. Your messages, folders, filters, and 
the like can reside on the server and your computer syncs to them. The 
advantage, is, so I am told, is that you can access your account from work, 
home, or anywhere else and everything syncs. 

The problem I found that VO keeps saying, Mail is busy and it takes time to 
sync when you delte, move, or do anything with your mail.

POP is simpler and is easier to manage as far as I'm concerned.

Re: How do you change margin widths in TextEdit?

2010-11-30 Thread Tom Frank
Hi there Esther,
I can do everything but move the left margin to the right less than one inch 
and the right margin to the right less than for a one inch margin. I tried 
creating a document in pages the way I want it, then saved it and then tried to 
open it in TextEdit to check out the margins; I could not save the document in 
Pages as a rich text document and when I tried to open it in TextEdit it would 
only open as a PDA thumbnail..  

I am thinking that TextEdit just won't let me create margins that are less than 
one inch from the sides or top or bottom.

I like the accessibility of Pages, that is, until I inserted a table.

Blue tooth headset

2009-06-03 Thread Tom Frank

I bought a Sony DRVT 50 Stereo headset to use with my Mac. I figured I  
could keep my I Mac upstairs and use my wireless keyboard and headset  
downstairs. It works fine except for a minor problem. Voice Over seems  
to say everything twice and then goes silent.

I can listen to a song from I Tunes fine. It only seems to be a  
problem with VoiceOver. Any ideas?

Re: smart mailbox question

2009-07-08 Thread Tom Frank

Hi there,
Try making several rules in one. I have all of the MacVisionary emails  
go into one mailbox; IPhones into another and another for my Motorola  
Cell phone list serve.

When you make a rule, choose "Subject contains" and then pick  
something that usually appears in the subject. Then add  a From field  
with different criteria. The combination usually works. It sometimes  
takes me three or four tries before I get all of the emails into the  
right mailbox.  b

Re: smart mailbox question

2009-07-09 Thread Tom Frank

The easiest way to move items to a mailbox is to create a rule. Just  
remember that you can enter more than one criteria per rule. For  
example, I have a MacVisionary rule that moves everything from this  
list serve into a MacVisionary mailbox. The first criteria is: Subject  
contains MacVisionary. The I added From Contains Macvisionary.  This  
system also works for my I Phone list. I had to add From and then  
Subject and the Message contains IPhone before I caught all of the  
incoming mail and routed them to the correct mailbox. And if first you  
don't succeed, go back and modify your rule until you get it right.

Re: Contacting NLS was Re: NLS digital books and future versions of iTunes,iPod, iPhone?

In defense of NLS, they must follow strict copyright laws.  I have no  
complaints since they also distribute a free player to every user. And  
if someone wants a more portable uit, there's also the Stream.  I also  
believe other third party manufacturers will be jumping in the fray  
once the new books are released.

Re: Ripping cps with Amadeus?

2011-09-10 Thread Tom Frank
Hi there,
Yes it does, and it does it very well. After trying to use ITunes with no 
success, I broke down and actually read the Amadeus manual. It's around page 52 
where it explains how to convert tapes and records to CD.

First, place and name markers where you want different tracks. Don't forget to 
put a marker at the very beginning of the file.
Then, if it's a two track stereo recording, go the sounds menu and flatten the 
file. 
Then go back to the sounds menu and Burn the file to a CD. The option is almost 
at the bottom of the Sounds menue.  Amadeus can automatically put a two second 
blank spot before every track.

Also, the recommendation is that you do all of your editing in the Amadeus 
format  which is true CD quality.

Happy recording.

Re: Ripping cps with Amadeus?

2011-09-11 Thread Tom Frank
Hi there again,
I'm not sure if you can rip the track directly, but it's worth a try. Amadeus 
should be able to import the entire CD and then copy it to another CD. I'm sure 
there is a simpler program for doing this directly, but Amadeus will give you 
the option of saving individual traqcks, and saving them in a variety of 
formats, including MP3. The manual gives a pretty good explanation of various 
file types and the pros and cons of each.

You will first notice  your book in the download folder as a zip file. Go have 
a cup of tea or something. Come back and it will be an uncompressed DAISY book 
folder. Copy the file.  Go to the finder, find your drive's icon, open it, and 
paste in the book. I hit escape first just to make sure I don't have any other 
files selected in the drive's folder.
If you interact with the progress alert, you can listen to the number of books 
remaining to be pasted. Remember, Daisy books actually are a number of files 
kept in a common folder.

Re: putting books from BARD to cartridge

2011-10-26 Thread Tom Frank
Hi there,
The icon labeled untitled is probably the right one. It should be under your 
Hard Drive icon. You also know it it's the right one when you unplug it; your 
Mac will complain that you didn't eject it properly.

Open it with Command O and check out the folder. I get rid of unwanted files 
mby the context menu, VO Shift M. I go down and select Move to trash.  I then 
copy and paste the BARD books from my downloads file to the cartridge folder. 

Good listening.

Apple TV and triple clicking VO on and off

Hello all,
I heard that there is a new command in the latest Apple TV software that allows 
you to turn VO on and off easily. 

I can't find it. Any hints?

My wife updated the software last nigh and I checked it today and my Apple TV

I’m not certain about your keyboard, but try normal VO commands such as VO 
spacebar two times for a double click. When I forget some of the commands, I 
just keep my phone next to the keyboard and I can always reach over and do a 
two finger double tap.  WWW; what Works Works.

JAWS always speaks the letter to the right of the cursor. VO speaks the letter

Fixing an annoying mail problem

2010-12-22 Thread Tom Frank
Hello all,
My Mail has been sluggish for me for months. I finally, I hope, found the 
problem and fixed it.

each time I used the Command Option N command to go to the inbox, mail opened 
the inbox in a new window. I checked the Windows menu item and found out that I 
had over thirty inbox windows open. It seems that every time I created a new 
inbox window, mail kept it.

I went to the inbox and closed, Command W, all but one inbox window, and 
behold, mail is its old perky self again.  It has also fixed the, "mail busy" 
issue every time I deleted an email. It didn't like updating thirty plus 
windows.

So, check your Windows menu every once in a while to check what's open.

Re: Fixing an annoying mail problem

2010-12-23 Thread Tom Frank
You are right; Command 1 is a better option.  
To check what Windows are open in an application, go to the Windows menu and 
arrow down. I did notice some other folks had problems with the Mail Busy alert 
all of the time so that's why I posted my solution.

It may have also been the reason I was having so much trouble with IMAP. I'm 
not having any problems since I switched back to POP.

Thanks everyone for the additional help.

Have a great Christmas and holiday season.

Re: apple mail question

2010-12-25 Thread Tom Frank
Hi there Ricardo,
It should work whether or not you interact with  your mail messages.

I have found that whenever I can't get VO to do what it should do, I turn it 
off with Command F5 and then  back on again. That somtimes fixes the problem. 

By the way; Merry Christmas to you Ricardo and everyone else on the list.  I 
gave my wife an I Pad for Christmas so I won't see her for a couple of weeks 
until the novelty wears off.

Olympus DS 40 to Mac Help

2011-02-02 Thread Tom Frank
Hello all,
I have an Olympus DS 40 recorder/player that I use all of the time for 
recording choir practice sessions and other audio.

The Mac software that came with the player does not work with Voice Over, nor 
can my wife get it to work at all. She downloaded Flip for Mac and I can now 
play the files using Quick time. However, I can not save them.

Also, when I used Quick Time to record the audio output from my player and then 
saved them to my mac, I cannot open them, and therefore, cannot edit them, in 
Garage Band.

Does anyone out there use and Olympus recorder, and if so. how do you get the 
files to your mac?

The Olympus is great in that it is totally accessible with voice navigation and 
it's small size and high quality sound make it an awesome player.

But, where do I go from here.

Thanks for any ideas.

Re: Olympus DS 40 to Mac Help

2011-02-02 Thread Tom Frank
Hi all who responded,
Thanks; I downloaded Amadeus Pro and have been able to open and save files from 
my Olympus DS player.   It was worth the $40 it cost knowing that the 
recordings of my choir's trip to England this fall can now be opened, saved and 
burned to disk. 

Again, thanks for your advice.

Re: GPS Apps

Hello Kawal,
Remember to double tap every time Navigon puts you into a new edit field. That 
means the city, street and number. It's kind of annoying but that's VO as far 
as I know it.

Numeric keypad not working

2011-03-07 Thread Tom Frank
I have an Apple wireless keypad where the numeric keypad is not working.

I have numpad commander off, have pressed the numlock key, and checked the 
Apple help file which recommends to check that Mouse Keys are not turned on. 
Mouse Keys are off.

Is there anything else I should try?

Help!

Re: reading attachments in mail

2011-03-07 Thread Tom Frank
Actually, the Quick Look function is figurative. Voice OVer works fine. 
Sometimes you have to select the previous document and then interact with the 
HTML file to read the document.  Use Command Y to open the Quick Look file and 
then play around to make it work.

Re: Looktel Money Reader for iPhone

2011-03-08 Thread Tom Frank
Hello all,
I thought it was broken because there aren't any buttons to double tap, or 
anything. I moved it toward the bill and it said 10 dollars.  It reads bills 
upside down, front or back and even vertically.  What an app!

Hi music folks,
What
's a good program to convert MP3 or Wave files to standard cda format so an old

not sure of the exact format I should use.

Editing problem with Apple mail still exists

2018-11-13 Thread Tom Frank
Good morning,
I still cannot make corrections easily on my 2012 27 inch I Mac with Apple 
Mail. Today, I did find a work around. When correcting and  error, I interact 
with the text and move to where I want to make the correction. I delete errors 
and add new text. However, VO will not read the new text. I have to turn off VO 
and then turn it back on again. I reported the original bug to apple months 
ago. today when I called Apple support they said engineers are still working on 
the problem. the tech said he would escalate my report to the engineers. Let’s 
see what happens.
