strange issue, please help

2013-06-08 Thread ppowells09
Hi folks, I am at my wits end. I want to put some of my most used app on my 
desktop vs the dock.I understand how to create an ailius. However, when I try 
to put more than one on my desktop, voiceover says the second one has dropped 
on the first one. I have been on the accessibility support line to try to 
correct the issue. They too, are puzzled. Is there a setting I have to check or 
uncheck to make this work properly?
Please help. Anything would be appreciated.

Re: Trying to imagine Fleksy as an alternate keyboard

2013-06-08 Thread ppowells09
Hi Jamie,
As good as the flexy app is & as hard as their team have worked,I cannot see it 
as a primary keyboard.
The concept is ideal for a quick note in notepad or short text, Yet, I find a 
hardware keyboard more efficient than even the on screen IOS keyboard. Boxwave 
sells a hardware keyboard that snaps to the back of your phone only adding 
minor thickness to the phone itself. It is connected via bluetooth. I use the 
heck out of that thing, finding myself doing searches & emails with my phone 
vs. my computer. If you are interested, go to www.boxwave.com  Search for 
bluetooth keyboards.
Hope this helps.

Trying to imagine Fleksy as an alternate keyboard 

Greetings all, 

As much as I like using Fleksy to type on my iPhone, I frequently find that I 
need to use the native iOS keyboard to edit a mistake I made earlier without 
realizing it. If I could use Fleksy as the default keyboard in the iPhone, how 
would I efficiently edit material already written down. Having never used an 
android device, perhaps I don't understand how alternate keyboards work. I 
would be interested in your thoughts.

Hello &thank you,
The tech told me to use my applications folder to find the given app I want to 
create an ailius for. What is the difference in the applications folder & the 
home folder? Please forgive my ignorance. Yes I have used the dock. However, I 
changed my desktop background to allow for tthe contrast I need to see where I 
am without turning on magnification. I am a vo user, yet have a little vision. 
I want to maximize both assets. When one turns on the machine, it lands on the

keystrokes, yet allowing secondary apps to remain on my dock.

Thank you Tim for your step by step instructions. Much appreciated.

Hi,

The Applications folder is where all the apps are normally stored by default.  
Your Home folder is where your personal data is normally stored.  When in the 
Finder, cmd-shift-a takes you to your Applications folder and cmd-shift-h takes 
you to your Home folder.  Applications should remain in the Applications folder 
and, as you've mentioned, an alias is what needs placed on your Desktop.  
Moving the actual Application out of the Applications folder may cause strange 
behaviours.

So, when in the Finder,

• press cmd-shift-a to open your Applications folder.
• Navigate to the app you wish to make an alias for.
• Press cmd-l to make the alias.
4.  Press cmd-c on that alias.
5.  Navigate to your Desktop with VO-shift-d.
6.  Press cmd-option-v to Move the alias to your Desktop.

When on your Desktop, you can clean things up buy making sure that your Desktop 
is active then going up to the View menu and choosing Cleanup.  You can also 
have the icons on your Desktop quickly be cleaned up and alphabetized by 
pressing cmd-option-1.

HTH.

Re: OT: Mobile Carrier for the Visually Impaired? Um, What's the Point?

2013-06-08 Thread ppowells09
Hi folks,
I don't even have to read the article to know it's a bad idea. We as a blind 
community have strived to assimilate ourselves in to normal society, through 
accessibility of mainstream products. I don't even like the idea of large print 
phone keypads. The keypad within itself is uniform & not hard to learn as a 
young child. Any carrier, who feels the need to market itself solely to the 
blind community is a direct slap in the face to Apple, Android, & other smaller 
companies who have created accessible equipment for us. It would be a definite 
step backward. I hope the ignorant creators of this outlandish idea follow 
lists such as this one & others to guage reaction.

Re: Docuscan plus

2013-06-11 Thread ppowells09
Hi Jamie,
We are all greatful for the work Serotek has done with reference to 
accessibility. However, unless I am missing something, the benefits of the 
access anywhere plan are not universally available to mac users, as they are to 
pc users. I want to subscribe to the service, but see no reason to pull out my 
windows machine to access one website. Also, when I had my trial, & was 
thinking of subscribing, it seemed that I was taken through innumerable pages 
attempting to sell me something other than what I want. When I go in to a 
store, with a list, I get it, pay for it & go on about my daily life. Please 
streamline the process, along with making it universally available to mac 
users, per all of the features.
Thanks much

Hi Johnathan,
Do you also use Imessage? If so, There is a menu within your conversation that 
will allow you to launch face time from the message. I have used face time 
quite a lot myself & love the feature. I wish Apple would allow 1 to 1 training 
using face time versus having to compete with the noise of the store, while 
using voiceover.

Hi everyone, I'd be grateful for any help out of this one.

I think this problem started when I hid the FaceTime window on the Mac by 
accident. Now when I run FaceTime, all that VO can see are the close, minimise 
the zoom buttons. If I try to bring up preferences, nothing happens. My list of 
recent contacts is no longer visible, and if I get an incoming call, the 
decline button appears in the dialog, but the accept button does not.

I've tried hiding all other windows and then activating the zoom button. I've 
restarted FaceTime and the machine. I've signed out and back in. I'm thinking 
this must be related to the size of the window, but I haven't found a 
straightforward way to maximise it. I did try bringing the window to the front 
but that hasn't helped.

I use FaceTime a great deal so if anyone has any thoughts, that would be great.

I sincerely hope this helps. Everyone is so helpful on this list, I save the 
answers I am given that work at the time.

When you start it, the focus should be on your main timeline (once you log in 
of course). From there, use cmd-right or left to move through your timelines 
(home, mentions, DMs, favorites). Up and down arrows will read tweets, provided 
Quicknav is off, and for all other commands, have a look through the dropdown 
menus, specifically the tweet and timeline menus. You will also wanto to open 
preferences with cmd-comma, go to the compose tab, and disable the username and 
hashtag autofill options.

Re: Screen Brightness and VoiceOver

2013-06-17 Thread ppowells09
Hello,
I have used screen curtain on my Idevices, while reading a book. I have also 
adjusted screen brightness on my computer if I am using it to access a podcast 
or the like which doesn't require me to be in front of it. I have not had any 
kind of issues with voiceover finding its way around the screen when the screen 
brightness is reduced. I remember my very first experience with a software 
screenreader using DOS 5 & Word perfect 5.1. I have enough vision that I tried 
to follow the cursor. Needless to say, it slowed me down considerably. My 
instructor took away my monitor forcing me to listen to the speech. I can't 
believe the mac would need a lighted screen to function either.

After contemplating the sad news that screen curtain does not conserve battery

of system preferences. When I tried adjusting the screen brightness slider, 
however, VoiceOver went a little bananas. The sound kept cutting in and out 
almost like VoiceOver was stuttering or on a really bad phone line. Then I lost 
VoiceOver sound completely. I navigated right and turned automatically adjust 
screen brightness back on, and VoiceOver returned to me. However, when I would 
navigate back to the brightness slider VoiceOver would begin stutterring again.

Any ideas of what's going on here? Does this happen to everyone or just me?

Cheers,

Re: If I really must get an iphone...

2013-06-26 Thread ppowells09
Hello Karen, 
I have an Iphone 4S. I do use a hardware keyboard that attaches to the back of 
the phone , only slightly thickening it, yet giving me hardware tactile keys. 
When one gets used to the feel, it is designed for speed. It is called a 
keyboard buddy ase made by boxwave. The hardware keyboard slides in & out as 
needed. If you look in to this type of keyboard or a similar manufacturer, you 
won't be sorry. The unit slips over the back of the phone & is no longer than 
the phone, it is also bluetooth connected.

You cannot, however, add a contact using Siri. As much as I agree with all

Bluetooth keyboard to dial phone numbers, although I haven't done so. Also,
remember that you can get cases with a keyboard attached so you aren't
carrying two pieces of equipment. This will, of course, increase the size of
the phone.

Hello.
The first question is true, using Siri, you can dial numbers, and send text
messages is possible using your voice.
I don't believe there is a keyboard scrictly for dialling, however.
Hope this helped.

The blog is getting uninstalled and removed, and I'll end by saying this. Even

Re: Update on Apple Care

2013-07-26 Thread ppowells09
Hi folks,
When I got my 4S, I was told about 2 different apple care plans. for $99 I 
could get Apple care that would cover one accidental replacement if it were 
dropped in water. They needed to see the phone within 30 days of purchase to 
make sure it was in good working order. The other plan cost $69 & covered phone 
support as we all have become accustomed to. For that plan, I had 1 year from 
date of purchase to pay for it.
Hope this helps.

Re: Apple one-on-one training

2013-07-26 Thread ppowells09
Hi,
I did pay for the $99 one on one training when I bought my mac, as I was new to 
the Mac OS. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't pay for it.None of this 
has anything to do with the staff or their knowledge as it does with the 
inordinate noise in the store making it almost impossible to hear voiceover. 
The store needs a quiet office where one can get the most out of the training 
or they need to make use of face time in order to give everyone an optimum 
experience.

Re: AppleCare paid for itself

I have not had that serious of an issue, however,  I have had reason to use my

Hi all:

Well, I know Clark Howard doesn't like extended warranties, but, today, I just 
got my Mac Mini back from the repair center.

My 320GB hard-drive crashed--making the click of death, a few days ago.

I had purchased an AppleCare warranty for my Mac and they felt the repair would 
be covered.

So, I brought it to the local repair facility with my certificate in hand.

They took a look, and, I got a call from their tech saying the hard-drive had 
crashed (which I already knew), and they were ordering another one.

I got a call a couple days later, letting me know the machine was fixed.  
Initially, they wanted my discs to reinstall software, but, they found out they 
had a copy of Mountain Lion (which I purchased anyway) so they installed that.  
Not only had they reinstalled Mountain Lion, but, the new hard-drive I received 
was a 500GB hard-drive.  And, all at no charge.  Guess they don't ship as many 
320GB drives anymore.  I'm not complaining.

Here's hoping I get even more use out of this one.

Download the remote application made by apple. It will prompt you to type in a

Re: Mac Air Users Question

2013-01-11 Thread ppowells09
Hi folks,
I have an 11 inch MacBook air. I love it's portability. It's also very light, 
does not get warm due to its SSD drive versus a spinning hard drive, The keys 
are not smaller yet are closer together slightly because of the size. The one 
caveat I would offer, Is to consider the environment in which you are using the 
MacBook air. It has stereo speakers, yet they are very small and very tinny. 
Unless you are using headphones or are in a very quiet environment, it can be 
difficult to hear. However, even that as a con, might be the only con I can 
find. It's an excellent machine. Also, keep in mind the air along with the new 
MacBooks, are one solid machine. They cannot be opened up and added to.

Hi Alex,
My reasons for making the comment concerning the speakers, Surround an incident 
with Apple care tech-support attempting to help me with voiceover while they 
were on a speakerphone. I had my Mac air turned up completely along  With the 
volume of my speaker phone turned up. The tech-support representative had 
issues hearing what voiceover was telling me in order to help me figure out 
what was going on. We did ultimately get the issue  resolved. In my general 
home environment, it's excellent. I only wish the Apple Store, had a quieter 
room for those of us using voice over to both learn on and set up a new 
computer. That is An  awful experience.

 USB card readers, but that takes up one of the two ports on the machine.

Re: Zoom text for Mac

2013-02-08 Thread ppowells09
Hello,
Thanks for your kind response. I understand Zim text is not a screen reader per 
se. I use a combination of speech and screen magnification. My concern is with 
the idea that Apple would allow someone else into their API therefore allowing 
a third-party vendor to take over their accessibility for which they have done 
quite well. As a friend of mine stated earlier today, everyone is looking to 
cut costs somewhere. Conceivably Apple could be looking at excess ability as a 
Means of attempting to cut costs of their product. I pray that is not the case. 
Be at screen magnification or speech, I certainly do not want to go back to the 
world of SMA agreements with third-party vendors. If AI squared can make a 
product that is an adjunct to what Apple offers rather than a direct 
competitor, I have no problem. However if it is the first step of taking over 
accessibility in one form or another I have an issue.

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

2013-02-09 Thread ppowells09
Hello,
I think if there were enough low vision users to contact Apple accessibility 
and ask for different color combinations
Within their zoom product,  There would be no need for  Third-party vendors to 
develop a nap. We as low vision users/screen reader users Need to be our own 
advocate for technology that will help us. Apple will listen, if there are 
enough of us who  will make the requests. If not, they will assume their 
product is satisfactory, or we take them for granted. As we all know, if and 
when something or someone is taken for granted, for long enough, it goes away. 
We all have to be in direct communication with the accessibility department, to 
help steer them in directions that will better affect our means to use their 
products thereby allowing us to advertise for them.

Thank you for all of the good suggestions. I have a question with reference to 
the type of form. Are there forms that will not lend themselves to be filled 
out on the computer regardless of whether one has adobe acrobat or not? I have 
heard, there are some government forms that are coated in such a way that will 
not permit one to fill them out on the computer. Is this true? Once filled out, 
I can sign them. I just can't see to read them.

Preview works for editable PDFs.  Open your document in Preview, select Edit 
from within the ToolBar, then select the TextTool from within the Edit ToolBar

yes.  VO command F5 moves the mouse cursor to the VO cursor.  BTW,  In my

the context menu you require.  But, when this doesn't work, you can just turn 
your trackpad commander off, and press control and click your trackpad.  Its 
the same thing as a right click on windows, bring up a context menu for the 
item under the mouse cursor.

Re: Do not download new slacker radio update

2013-02-13 Thread ppowells09
Hello,
I too am a slacker subscriber. I pay for the premium membership. And definitely 
not a fan of the new layout. It would not take much to make all of their  
buttons work. I will never understand why the vendor of a subscription app 
feels the need to totally rearrange the layout. In my opinion, if it isn't 
broke, don't fix it. I have found through their support  Email system, one gets 
very little response. I eventually found them and have the contact on my phone 
to get to their direct tech support via phone. Their email system seems to 
shoot back automatic computer responses rather than having a human look at what 
the issues are and correct them. That app has been decent for years. There was 
no reason to totally rearrange the layout especially for those of us who can no 
longer reliably use it on iPhone. I agree, the iPad app, seems not to have 
changed. However, if the iPhone app changes, I'm concerned about the changes 
they will make in their  iPad app. It would be a real shame to lose that 
service.

Re: Slacker Radio?

2013-02-14 Thread ppowells09
If one chooses to subscribe to slacker radio, be at plus,  or premium, you 
don't have all the ads. Premium subscribers, can play entire albums on demand. 
Radio stations, are also more customizable Through a plus or premium 
subscription. Yes, one can download music to one's device, however it is still 
under their rights protection. You do not own it if you do not pay for the 
subscription. Fortunately, the iPad app still works.

Re: Do not download new slacker radio update

2013-02-14 Thread ppowells09
Yes, with a slacker subscription, you can cash content to your device. Also, 
premium subscribers can listen to a given album on demand if it is within their 
library. Some stations  play songs that are not downloadable due to the rights 
having expired. However one can still add them to a favorite songs station and 
replay them. The iPad app still works.

Re: Do not download new slacker radio update

2013-02-14 Thread ppowells09
I think, if those of us, who used the service, and pay for it, and are left out 
of the most recent update via the iPhone are constructively critical of the 
update to the extent of Directing them to means of making their app accessible 
again, we will have better luck. I will say this much, their email support is 
crap. If one can get through to their customer service and speak to a human, 
they are receptive.  Contact them directly at, 858-943-5000 We can all complain 
 on these lists, to our hearts content, however it will not fix the issue 
unless we deal with them directly. They have to realize, there are means of 
making their app accessible again, therefore including a market that has been 
greatly appreciative of their service.

Re: Editing text

2013-02-14 Thread ppowells09
Hi folks, I have what I hope is not a stupid question. If one is editing text 
on the Mac, why would one want the  text to speak to the right of the cursor? 
The only way I can figure this out, is if one were editing characters from a 
misspelled word. When I used  Windows, along with magic screen magnification 
and it's jaws  counterpart, everything that I wrote was to the left of the 
cursor. Also, does it  matter which mode one is in an Quicknav  to make this 
work 
Thanks for your help. correctly?

Re: Editing text

2013-02-14 Thread ppowells09
Hi Alex,
Thank you for your excellent description. Yes sir, it does make sense. Not many 
can offer a description in a way that one can picture in his head and apply it 
to the computer. Truly appreciate it.  thank you

Quicknav must be off to do much editing, which is why I tend to leave it off

The cursor is not like on windows; I find it easiest to think of the insertion 
point as being between two characters, rather than under any character. As you 
arrow along, vo reads out which character (or word) the cursor passed to get to 
its new location. So, take the word "apple". If you start at the a and arrow 
right, you would hear "a" as the cursor passed under the a to settle between 
the a and the p. Another press of right arrow reads "p", because the cursor 
went past the first p to land between the two Ps in the word. Next you'd hear 
another p, then an l, then an e. Arrowing left will read the e again, since the 
cursor backs up, passing the e to get between it and the l. Hopefully this 
makes more sense.

Re: Do not download new slacker radio update

2013-02-14 Thread ppowells09
Hi Matthew,
There are two tiers Of slacker subscriptions.
The plus subscription, $3.99 per month. The premium subscription is $9.95 per 
month. The premium subscription, allows you to play albums/songs on demand, 
create and save your own stations With more control over what artists are on 
them. I believe on all levels you have access to ESPN radio, and ABC news. Go 
to www.slacker.com and check it out. If I have given the site in error, Google, 
slacker radio.

Re: Do not download new slacker radio update

2013-02-14 Thread ppowells09
Hi Christine, I spoke to the slacker representatives this afternoon. They say, 
they updated their iPad app before the launch of the iPhone app. They say, they 
took the iPhone app from the ground up, and said they had received complaints 
from those of us with vision issues about usability. We as visually impaired  
subscribers, need to continue to complain to them. To let them know we are out 
there And enjoy their service. They claim, the usability issues were 
overlooked, and will be corrected. I explain to them, their app has been one of 
the most accessible apps for music streaming services one could find. At any 
rate, they say, they know about it, it yet, we need to continue to let them 
know, it's not just a few of us.

Re: Slacker Radio?

2013-02-14 Thread ppowells09
Hi Jessica, wish I could help with that one. I don't know I do not have the 
free subscription. However when I did have the free subscription, my skips were 
limited, Yet my listening was not. The differences were if you search for a 
given artist, you got that artist along with any other similar artist, and 
anybody else they chose to throw in there. My guess is the Launch of the new 
iPhone app may have contributed to that issue. You can call them, 858-943-5000 
or email their support. Whatever complaints they get, they claim they are 
sending to their developers. Let's hope so. The iPad app is still functional. 
Also, if you have an older version of the slacker app or have not downloaded 
the new one don't. If you have an older version, synced to your computer from 
your phone and you choose to reinstall it, it will work.

Re: iOS 6 Disappointment!

2013-02-15 Thread ppowells09
Hi folks, I think Apple is finally catching up to the idea there is competition 
for its products. It is not the boutique high-end product line as it once  was, 
even though it likes to think it is.  Though it is still a quality product, 
there are tech companies catching up in quality in a real hurry and doing it 
cheaper. I think Apple knows this, that's why they feel the need to have 
multiple releases Withany year rather than their annual release as they used 
to. I only hope Accessibility is not thrust to the side in the process. 
However, even the newer android tablets, have  really good accessibility. We 
are going to have to accept, it is no longer Steve jobs Apple. He would never 
have allowed the flaws That have come in the products since his passing. 
Give it a couple of years, Apple will be just like Panasonic or any other 
household name, hopefully, also at their prices. If not, other companies will 
pass them by. That is sad to say, however it is reality in the marketplace.

Re: Do not download new slacker radio update

2013-02-16 Thread ppowells09
Hi Matthew,
Having spoken to them the day the app launched, they say they have received 
numerous complaints about numerous bugs, some  dealing with accessibility some 
not. If you by chance have an older version of the app sync to your computer, 
you can put that version back on your phone, it will work. They are passing any 
complaints they get to their developers. Please feel free to call them at 
858-943-5000 or email their support page.

Re: Navigating through long message threads in WhatsApp

2013-02-18 Thread ppowells09
Hello,
This might be a cumbersome process, however, can you go through the messages, 
select them, copy them to a note?  You should be able to get all of your 
messages into the  notes app, therefore emailing it to yourself or sending it 
to your computer.

Hi.

Several friends and associates correspond with me using WhatsApp.  I have an 
iPhone 4S and, although the interface isn't comfortable for me, it is important 
that I stay in touch with these people.

In one particular situation, I do not wish to erase any of the dialogue I am 
having, because this person's communication with me is a partial chronicling of 
a friendship that is very, very important in my life.  So here's my question:

Since I am loathe to erase a single message in this particular thread, how can 
I quickly get to the message that this person most recentlysent to  me?  
Whenever I click on this person's name, WhatsApp takes me to the beginning of 
the message thread, and I have thus far found no reliable way to get to the end 
of the thread, i.e. to the message most recently sent.  I know that WhatsApp 
has a feature that lets you clear the messages, but without knowing whether or 
not this also deletes the thread, I won't invoke the feature.  So in summary, 
how do I quickly get to the end of a thread?  A three-finger flick-up advances 
me a few messages at a time, but I am wondering if there is a quicker way to 
get right to the most recent message sent. Is there a way to export an entire 
message thread to a file?  I have looked at the settings, but I have struck out 
thus far.

Kindest regards to all and thanks,

Mike

Nope, never had this problem. Only thing I can think of is maybe looking around

Hi folks,
If I'm not mistaken, the money you pay for the app, also get you access through

 Given the fact the games are available on game day audio, why mess with

Re: Accessing the Emoji Keyboard on the Mac

2013-03-05 Thread ppowells09
Hi,
I am curious, about the same issue. I have successfully been able to do 
iMessage on my Mac with Emoji navigating to  :-) picker. I was not aware there 
were other imaging beyond the smiley picker. I know iOS has many. If you can 
please explain in more depth as to how to get to them other then the smiley 
picker, I would appreciate it thank you

Greetings:

Someone was asking recently how to access the Emoji keyboard, and other special 
characters. It is done by pressing command+option+T in messages, which will 
then reveal the special characters. You can choose from the categories table, 
"Emoji" and proceed to the other tables to get more specific. You can also 
search for what you wish to send in the toolbar. once you've found what you 
wish to send, press vo+space on it, and enter will send it.

I've not found that the Mac will read them, Voiceover just says "group" but it 
will read them on an iDevice.

It supposedly works on both Mac and PC.

Hi Tammy, I had similar issues when I installed this program. I got a good 
explanation from a fellow lister. I saved it. Here it is. Hope it helps.

When you start it, the focus should be on your main timeline (once you log in 
of course). From there, use cmd-right or left to move through your timelines 
(home, mentions, DMs, favorites). Up and down arrows will read tweets, provided 
Quicknav is off, and for all other commands, have a look through the dropdown 
menus, specifically the tweet and timeline menus. You will also wanto to open 
preferences with cmd-comma, go to the compose tab, and disable the username and 
hashtag autofill options.

Re: Elypsis

Hi,
Until I got my mac, I never heard my screen reader actually say elypsis. I had 
no idea what it was or what I could do to turn it off as it is annoying. I am 
still not sure what its purpose is other than your explanations. It sounds as 
if it is synonymous with etc.

Thanks to all.
I hope I did not hijack your topic. However I am certainly grateful for the

Hi,

In writing, an ellipsis is used as an "an intentional omission".  The
detailed text can be omitted either for reasons similar to the one Pam
gives, where the writer doesn't want to go on listing details, or
because the content of the quoted text is familiar, and the writer
doesn't want to quote it in its entirety, such as CB's example in
giving the opening words of the Gettysburg address.  It can have the
sense that Chris uses, of there being more content that follows (which
for reasons of length are not described).  In written essays,
articles, or reviews, you might use an ellipsis where you're quoting a
source, but are omitting parts that are secondary to the main point
being made.

You can't turn this feature off in VoiceOver, because it's giving you
information that is part of the menu options, but you can always press
the Control key to keep VoiceOver from announcing the whole phrase.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: Strange problem with iPhone 4 S

2013-03-27 Thread ppowells09
Hi folks,
I don't know, GG if you have any vision, however, I do have some, though not 
much. As your phone runs down or is charging, A box in the center of the screen 
when it is locked gives a visual rectangle showing battery percentage. When it 
gets below 20% it changes color. My theory is that it is running on its reserve 
much like your mac would when its battery is down, it will tell you it is on 
reserve power. My ipad II & my 4S do the same as you describe when their 
battery is nearly dead. Hope this helps.

Re: Serious question about Mac vs. Windows

2013-04-08 Thread ppowells09
Hi Shannon, To my knowledge, no one has mentioned the learning curve involved 
when changing systems. What does your wife use her computer for? Also, does she 
have the time to emerse herself in a new system for the sake of truly learning 
to use it? I have both a mac & windows machine. I spent most of my computer 
life on DOS & Windows. However, after losing my mom almost 2 years ago, I used 
the time on my hands to really get educated on the mac OS & have not regretted 
it. There are pros & cons to both systems depending on the primary use of one's 
computer along with the time one has. Good luck with your decision, welcome to 
the list.

Accessibility is fixed in slacker radio iphone app.

2013-04-10 Thread ppowells09
There was a recent update to the slacker radio app. After breaking 
accessibility in their redesign of the app, they finally  fixed it. I am 
grateful enough people were constructively assertive & let them know we are a 
market to be considered. In their app description, they specifically say, 
improved voiceover support.

I know the feeling. Have been a subscriber for a while. When they broke 
accessibility in their redesign, They got an email & phone call from me. At the 
time, I think they were guaging response. I don't think they realized how many 
of us use their service whether paid or free. They were bombarded with email. 
However, they told me at the time it was an oversight. Whether I buy that I 
don't know. I do know, I follow them on twitter, & thanked them for fixing 
accessibility.

enjoyment with a subscription. It is also more customizable than Pandora.

Re: To Let My Computer Sleep or Not

2013-04-27 Thread ppowells09
I have had similar questions, most of which have been answered. However, when 
disabling sleep, is there a general button that disables all sleep? From what I 
have seen in the pane to which you refer, one must disable or extend time for 
hard drive or screen separately. If there is a general way to do this with one 
checkbox, where is it?

Re: Kindle now accessible on IOS with Voiceover.

2013-05-01 Thread ppowells09
It's about time they came to the party. We all know how resistant Amazon has 
been to making their services accessible to us. Forgive my conspiracy theory 
attitude,  there had to be some pressure from somewhere other than the blind 
community as a whole. We as a community have managed through constructive 
action & dialog  to gain accessibility in many areas other than Amazon's 
services & devices. I have cautious optimism that it is a new beginning for 
Amazon & accessibility.

Re: how do I fine tune in slacker?

2013-05-01 Thread ppowells09
Hi Christina,
On the latest update to the slacker app, you have 4 tabs along the bottom of 
the app. They are from left to right as you are holding your phone vertically 
as follows, related artists, favorites, popular songs, & newer songs.
When you double tapp a given tab, there is a slider about the end of your 
finger's length that opens. It opens to a default progress indicator for each 
given tab. Moving the slider to the right increases, to the left, decreases the 
type of music you want played within that open tab. My best suggestion would be 
to tap the slider, it will tell you what its progress is. Turn off vo & play 
with it until you get it the way you want it. It will mean turning vo on & off 
a couple of times, however, is very doable. At least they made this update for 
the phone accessible again.
Hope this helps.
Regards,

Pam Francis

Any ideas?

He is not much of a cloud person, however he set it up in order to use the find 
my iphone feature & find my mac.
I can't find anything in icloud preferences that relates to date & time, though 
he said it was there. I looked in system preferences & checked out sharing. Can 
anyone please tell me how to help him straighten out his time zone & location 
using voiceover? Currently, it is set to pacific & cupertino. He lives in

Hi,

I'm thinking that he may just be a little confused.  I've never noticed 
anything of the sort within the iCloud pane of System Prefs nor do I remember 
anything like that in previous versions of the pane.  Normally, when you enable 
the Find My Mac component of iCloud, it will ask you if you will allow the 
Location Service to keep track of your Mac and you should click the "Allow" 
button.  By default, many Macs upon initial setup are set to the Pacific Time 
Zone so it is a good idea to go within the Date & Time pane of System Prefs, 
under the Time Zone tab and enter a major city close to you within your 
specific Time Zone.  The Mac will automatically adjust your time and Time Zone 
info when the new city is entered.
