Re: Apple TV

2012-03-01 Thread jason lefevers
Hi , first I would like to intraduce myself , My name is jason LeFevers I live 
in Baltimore MD USA. I have been blind for about 9 years now, I lost my sight 
in a car accident while serving in the Airforce. I have only been using apple 
products bor a few years now with the purchase of the iphone 3gs. I am now 
loving all apple products . The toys I have currently are, iphone 4s, Macbook 
pro, apple tv, and airport extreme. I also have my PC with Jaws 13 that i also 
use. I have only had the macbook since and apple tv 2nd gen since christmass. I 
am still learning the voiceover on the mac but its getting easier to do things 
. I wanted to comment on the apple tv and say how much I enjoy it. For the 
first time since loosing my sight I am able to know what is on the tv and 
select what I want to watch with no sighted help. I use it alot to play tv 
shows for my kids when I am alone with them  using netflicks, and tv shows that 
i purchased from Itunes. I also have it hooked up to a nice stereo and take 
advantage of the airplay feature to play music from my itunes and pandora threw 
my stereo using my Iphone. I would be happy to answer any specific questions 
about it . thanks I look forward to learning more from you all about apple and 
other accessable toys. jason  

PS I hear rumers that the Apple Itv will be released sometime this year I am 
really excited to see what this tv will offer.  Feb 25, 2012, at 11:30 PM,

Re: Apple TV & streaming music?

2012-03-04 Thread jason lefevers
Hey  tracy , the only way to play music on your apple TV with no other devices 
running is to turn on Itunes match , however I believe this is a paid service 
which allows you to store your music in a cloud and access it from any device. 
you can access your Itunes music and movies on your computer using home sharing 
but this requires your computer to be running  and on the same network . You 
don't have to be at the computer it just has to be on and Itunes has to be 
running and from your apple TV just go into the home sharing menue  and access 
your music that way. If your just looking to play music I have a few better 
options if you have a Iphone or Ipod touch. Also what new apple TV are you 
refering to? I have the 2nd gen the thing I heard was apple is going to release 
a actual TV set sometime this year and I don't know what all it will do. It 
will be apples version of a smarty TV. I don't know any good podcasts other 
than the ones listed already. let me know if you want to know more about the 
apple TV I am happy to help. Jason  On Mar 4, 2012, at 1:15 PM, Traci wrote:

Re: Apple TV & streaming music?

2012-03-04 Thread jason lefevers
oh I didn't know about the update for the apple TV . If you already have a 
iphone or Ipod with IOS 4.3 or later than you can use the airplay feature on 
the apple TV. just have the TV on and on your IOS device turn airplay on to 
stream music from your device to your TV. It works great with music from any 
source on your IOS device either your Itunes music , pandora , spotify etc you 
can play it using the apple TV The most recent update also allows something 
called airplay mirroring which when turned on streams your whole display on 
your IOS device on to your TV with the apple TV. Esentually making your apple 
TV connected 
 a larger version of your IOS device. On Mar 4, 2012, at 2:34 PM, Traci wrote:

Re: Should I choose Airport Extreme?

2012-03-10 Thread jason lefevers
Hey tracy, I recently got the airport extreme and so far I like it. First it 
was very easy to setup with no sighted assistance. I am not sure about the 
other router you are looking at but the airport extreme is a dualband which is 
where some of the cost comes from. This will make a difference while using 
multiple devices and streaming content. We currently are running 2 ipones, a 
Ipad, 4 computers, a apple tv and a wireless home stereo system and they all 
work great anywhere in my house.

Re: Starting the phone app automatically after unlocking the phone after upgrading to iOS 5.1

2012-03-20 Thread jason lefevers
yes I believe this is a bug in the 5.1 update my 4S did not do this untill 
then. However I think apple may have done it on purpose . It launches the app 
that is first in your doc. So if you have a app that you want to launch every 
time you unlock your phone put it first in yourdoc. This only occurs when you 
touch the screen right away after unlocking but not after waiting a sec to do 
anything. jason n Mar 20, 2012, at 4:39 PM, David Hole wrote:

Re: Apple TV questions

2012-03-26 Thread jason lefevers
Hi Ed, I can help you some. First off make sure you have a HDMI cable already 
because it doesn't come with one, and this is the only way to hook it to your 
tv or reciever. As far as starting VO from start up I am not sure I used my 
wife to turn it on for me, but i recall someone saying to tripple click the 
play/pause button which is the button all the way on the bottom right on your 
remote. If that doesn;t work and you don't have sighted assistance I can walk 
you threw it on the phone or something. using airplay is very simple to do, I 
haven't used it on the Ipad but I have on my Iphone and I think  its the same. 
First you need to get your apple TV all set up and running on the same network 
as your Ipad etc. once that is all set up there are 2 ways to turn on airplay . 
Frist is to double click your home button on the Ipad to bring up app switcher 
and do a 3 finger swipe to the right to get to the first page of the ap 
switcher then scroll down the page untill it says airplay and select it. It 
then will bring up a list of airplay devices on your network, since you only 
have the apple tv that will be the only option besides the ipad itself . scroll 
to the apple tv and select it and your connected to your apple tv,  once you 
select the apple tv you will then be given the option to turn on airplay 
mirroring , you dont  have to do this  to play music and other content on your 
apple tv. you only want to do this if you want to view your whole Ipad display 
on your tv . So once you turn airplay on on your Ipad whenever you play any 
music or media on your Ipad it will play threw your apple tv and not threw your 
Ipad untill you switch it back to Ipad . The second way to do airplay which is 
a little better if your doing something and want to quickly play something on 
your apple tv. all you have to do is start playing the music or movies etc on 
your Ipad and where the controls are for play/pause, forward and rewind are 
there will be a airplay button, just select it and it will bring up the devices 
list and select your apple tv and it will start playing threw your tv. This 
works on some 3rd party apps like pandora and utube as well. I also forgot to 
mention that there is nothing to be done to the apple tv to do airplay it just 
has to be turned on as well as the acctual tv and running the apple tv , thats 
it. So play around with it when you get it and let me know if you need any help

Re: Apple TV questions

2012-03-26 Thread jason lefevers
Ed hulu will work with the Iphone app however the only way it would work for me 
is using airplay mirroring . So turn on airplay mirroring on on your iphone and 
then launch the hulu app and pick your movie to watch and it should start 
playing on the apple tv. This should work with both devices but I have not 
tryed it with a Ipad so I am not possitive . Jason

Ed, on your iphone double click the home button to bring up the app switcher, 
then 3 finger swipe to the right untill you are on the first page, then scroll 
down untill it says airplay , select it, scroll down to where it says apple tv 
and select it , once selected below where it says apple tv there will be a 
button called airplay mirroring , select it and your good to go. let me know if 
this doesn't make sence.

A little help with sorting documents

2012-04-08 Thread jason lefevers
Hello , I am still new to the mac and can't figure out how to sort my documents 
into specific forlders. So to start I am using a mac book pro with lion. I can 
create a document fine, I have also created a folder on my desktop where I want 
to put client notes. The folder on my desktop is called unseen touch. I can put 
documents in this folder just find also . The thing that I want to do and that 
i can't do is, In the main folder unseen touch I would like to make many 
different folders for each of my clients and in each of those folders put 
individual documents for that days notes. what I have done so far is like I 
said is create the main folder  and when I open it there is a folder that I 
named jason  as well as a document called jason lefevers soap note. how do I 
get the soap note doc into the jason folder? I have tryed copying the doc and 
then opening the jason folder then pasting the doc but it just tells me that 
its already there and asks if I want to replace it , so I say yes but Its not 
showing up in the jason folder , nothing shows up when I open the jason folder. 
If anyone could walk me threw this process I would be very happy. Thank you 
very much. Jason

Re: apple tv without a tv set

Hey Ed, first off to answer your question yes it can be done as long as you 
have a receiver with HDMI imput it should work fine. Now in saying that do you 
already have the apple tv? if so what do you planning on using it for ? do you 
plan on playing music and videos, or just music? If just music might i 
recommend just getting a airport express and hook it up to your receiver or 
powered computer speakers then just streamming music from your mac , pc, or I 
device using airplay. jason

Re: apple tv without a tv set

2012-04-11 Thread jason lefevers
hey there are 2 ways to play music from your apple tv with out using Itunes 
match turned on . either streaming them using airplay from your iphone, ipad , 
ipod etc, or from your computer. the only ther wway to do it is to have your 
computer running with Itunes open and having home sharing enabled , then on 
your apple tv go to where it says computers and select it your computer should 
show up then you can play all the music and other content that you have in your 
Itunes library on your computer. hope that helps. Jason ÎÎ

Re: Replacing an ordinary hifi, but with what?

2012-04-22 Thread jason lefevers
hey, I am not sure how big of a system your looking for but I have a few 
suggestions. First off if your just looking for a single room system and want 
to use airplay , i would suggest geting a airplay enabled reicever like the 
pioneer vsx 1021 k and just get the speakers you want , or a single powered 
sspeaker that I heard had good reviews was the zeplin air I forgot who made it 
but its supposte to be pretty good and you can get multipule ones and have 
music in different rooms , however you can only play the same music on all the 
systems . Finally I will suggest what I have done , first  off check out 
www.sonos.com this is a wireless system that conects to your network but 
creates its own designated mesh network for stereo . So you have a few options 
to run a setup and I will let you check out the website for all there products, 
but I will just tell you what I have set up now . I have 5 sonos play 3 powered 
speakers and a bridge. the play 3 speakers are about 7in wide, 6in deep and 4in 
tall , I have one in 5 different rooms in my house and can play music from my 
itunes library and a ton of other music services like pandora and spotify , 
etc. You can play different music at different levels in each room just using a 
iphone  app. YOu can also control  all stations from computers, I devices, 
android devices . I mainly use my Iphone and its pretty accessable , I can 
choose songs  and control volume etc right from my phone and the ap can be 
closed when you dont need to do anything with it . The sound on the play 3 s 
are pretty good its a smaller version of the play 5  . And if you want to check 
out the play3 or play5 systems I know best buy and target sells them or you can 
get them right from theere sight. Let me know if you want any more info about 
it .  jason Apr 17, 2012, at 4:52 AM, Krister Ekstrom wrote:

Re: Upgrading to lion from snow leopard

2012-06-19 Thread jason lefevers
Recardo, I guess the way I read it was that you might have known that the 
upgrade to ML was not possible from SL and you were giving me a hard time about 
suggesting the jump to M: and skipping Lion. Maybe a better way that you could 
have responded would have just been to post the question of weather or not that 
jump was possible  or not . Sorry if that is what you were trying to say I 
guess I miss read it. Now in saying that it is possible to jump from SL to ML 
without lion first as long as you have the hardware to support the new OSX. I 
would also think that if you had aadiquity powered machine you could just do a 
clean os install and put what ever os you want ? Or am I totally wrong>? thanks

Re: Dragon Naturally Speaking and MacBook

Hi I have never used dragon dictation however I have heard of blind people 
using it with there windows computer with JAWS I am not sure  how it works for 
mac. But in saying that how old is there mac computer? next month when mountain 
lion is released it will have a built in dictation feature that will allow 
everyone to type by using speach and its already built into the OS so if its 
anything like the dictation on the Iphone 4S it should be pretty good. Hope 
this helps . Jason

Re: using mac to control iDevice

2012-07-04 Thread jason lefevers
Hi to answer your question yes usin the bluetooth keyboard and streamming music 
would probably use your battery pretty quick. However I do think a airplay 
speaker or using a apple tv or airport express hooked up to some powered 
speakers would be the best way to do what you want. Airplay is very simple to 
use , just get a airplay speaker or one of the other options I mentioned you'll 
have to hook it up to your home network once you do It will show up on all the 
devices on that network so say your I touch and mac and a airplay speaker were 
all on your network you can use either the mac or Itouch to stream and control 
music on the speaker. So If you wanted to use your mack to just control your 
music on your airplay speaker and use the bluetooth keyboard for the Itouch to 
enter long text I think this would solve the battery issue. If you need any 
help with this I would be happy to help you if you are considering this option.

help with ripping ddvds to external hard drive and playing them on itunes

2012-07-17 Thread jason lefevers
Hi ok I really need some assistance i am getting in over my head with this 
stuff. so here is my situation I have a external harddrive that is hooked to my 
arrport extreme so I can access the content on my MBP. what I am trying to do 
is use rip it to rip my dvd collection and have it saved on my external HD I 
also want to be able to use Itunes on my MBP to play these movies . 

What I have been able to do so far is : I had ripped 3 movies previously to my 
Itunes library on my MBP and was able to play them just fine. searched on the 
web for how to move them to external HD , what I did was copy the movies folder 
from Itunes and pasted it on the external HD then went back and deleated the 
folder on my MBP . after this I could go to Itunes and if i went to play a 
movie it would say it could not located it and it would give you the option to 
find it , so I found it and could play it then from my ex HD but I would have 
to do that search every time . The way I read to solve this was to in Itunes 
delete the movies from the library since they were not linked to anything 
anymore. then with my wifes help opened opened the ex HD and dragged the movies 
folder while holding the option key and dropping it on the main Itunes window . 
the movies showed up and when I clicked on a movie it would play just fine and 
would be playing from the ex HD. so this was great , now the problem I have now 
is adding to that library. I changed the settings on ripit so when I rip a dvd 
it is saved in the movies folder on my external HD that I copied from my MBP . 
I was able to do this , however It doesn't seem to save it in the same format 
as the other previously ripped dvds and I am unable to get it to show up in my 
Itunes movies library on my MBP with the other movies . I can access the movie 
by opening my HD and selecting it and it will start playing using the dvd 
player which I guess is fine but this is not what I want to  do . I am really 
trying to get it so I can use my apple tv to play movies stored on my externial 
HD . I know I can't do this directly I have to access the movies from the 
Itunes library on my MBP using my apple tv. 

sorry for the very long post If anyone has any ideas or is very good with 
Itunes stuff and external harddrives  I could really use some help.  thanks 
alot  Jason 

PS I am using lion with a late 2011 MBP .
