Hi Carolyn. Finally something I can help on or at least somewhat.
I download nls books all the time.
I have high speed here and it downloads at usually 396kb per second.
It depends really on your internet speed. But generally I think nls
bard also may have some kind of speed restriction as well.
Hi is virtualbox accessible?
I downloaded it and there is no installer.
thanks

Hello,
For some strange reason, I cannot seem to change the mp3 bitrate for
importing settings in iTunes. If I change it, VoiceOver will say the
bitrate I had changed it to, but when I select OK, and go back, the
change does not stick.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? If so, how can this
I completely agree! No other company has implemented accessibility in the same
way that apple has, and I love the fact that I pay the same price for my
products as everyone else does. I don't feel like my iPad is a rip off because
of the added productivity it allows me. I love being able to ta
How do you work with NLS books? I don't have a specialized player, just my mac
and iPad, so I am assuming that I won't be able to use them, correct?

Hi. do you have the digital player from the library?
Oops. are you a patron of nls? If you are you can get a digital player
form the library. Or if you have a booksense or victor reader stream
those will work too.
But no it wouldn't work just on your mac alone.
nlsbard.loc.gov is the web site u
Thanks so much! I thought about getting one of the specialized players, but
opted for the iPad instead (good choice for me) Do the library players work
with the mac? I have seen someone's player, but don't have one myself. I am
pretty sure I have an NLS membership, but will check.

You could call you state/local library and see if you are a patron. If
you are you can ask to have a digital advanced player sent to you.
You can either use a thumb drive in the player that it will not fuss
at. I hear the kingston datatravelers are good and have a 4 gig. cost
me 14 dollars.

I know that are scripts run at 3 AM every night on our Macs. These
scripts are maintenance scripts. Is there some way to run these
scripts manually for those that do not leave our Macs on?

You can run these from terminal at any time, either individually or

You'll be prompted for your admin password at the first sudo command.

Hi,
Prompted by recent discussion on using Adium to do Facebook chat I've
downloaded it and run it. it asked me if I wanted to use Growl and I said yes.

time. i started chatting to someone and they could see my message

Hi Sarah,
thanks for that, I did spot the Unknown field but didn't think to interact with
it - maybe someone should tell the developers so they can look at fixing this
in an update but thanks for the info anyway.
cheers,

Hi Jes,
Earlier this week, I expressed the same concerns. Since then, I've read enough
to convince me that iAd won't interfere with apps running on the iPhone. I'm
still concerned about security. I'm also concerned about the cost (to me) of
these ads. I've expressed my concerns to accessibil
Hi guys,
I usually use DVDRemaster for my DVDs, but sadly, it does not have the ability
to extract encrypted content. Unfortunately, this DVD is encrypted. Metakine
has software for taking care of this as well. Something called Fairmount. It
seems as if you need to use VLC, which I did install.
hmmm that is unusual. Maybe it was just an extremely high volume of
people downloading from nls. Or maybe your connection at the time was odd.
Hope it goes better next time. I can guarantee it isn't the mac.
At least I am pretty sure it isn't. Unless network settings got goofed
or something.

I have a netgear nas with 3TB in it. The nas has the ability to be used
as an iTunes server. All of my media is on the nas.
When I go into iTunes on the Mac I can see the iTunes server and play

The NLS players are pretty cool. They are about the size of a hard backed

It's interesting that this subject has recently come up as I received the

Thanks so much! I don't have much experience with NLS, though I m a member. I
just couldn't justify buying an adaptive player and an iPad, so I opted for the
iPad because it's good mainstream technology, and because it affords me more
