Regarding word processing, and since you have an IPad, how well does that work
with exporting docs to Word, Excel, etc. format? I was asked that question and
didn't know. I heard there's some sort of file manager for iTunes that handles
this, is that true?

Hi Kolby,
I bought my MacBook Pro about a month ago, and am largely happy. But
there are a few important things to know. 1) VO doesn't work with all
programs, notably MS Word. I was surprised that such an industry
standard requires finding workarounds every time you open a document,
which isn't i

Hi,
Has anyone ever used a program called Ipod Transfer from Macsom software. If
so, is it accessible, and how does it work? I tried to transfer stuff to my
Ipod, but I couldn't figure it out.

Hi Andy
I completely understand where you're coming from. A lot of my
crankiness over these bugs is, at least in part, because I'm
disappointed, and a little worried that accessibility is taking a bit
of a knock, because there was the iTunes thing, and then Safari, and
now the mail issue (even if

Yeah, I fell into that trap early on with VO coming from Jaws. Now, when I
pick up my windows laptop, I have to remind myself where the tab key is and not
to grab the control and windows key with the arrows. It's very disorienting
some times. LOL!

So, audible authorization has to be done for each SD card. This would explain
why my stream isn't working any more. This is a bit annoying. So, if I use a
different SD card, I have to authorize again, this could be a bit annoying to
say the least.

Very very true. I can't count the number of times my windows machines did that,

Once you find Skype.app in the downloads folder, you can simply copy it over to

Hi listers,
I have a lot of IPad questions after todays apple visit, but I won't flood the

that you can find particular words and phrases in books? Also, can you quickly
and easily find the next instance of a phrase o
I got the new itunes but I don't yet have anything to play Ibooks on, since
ios4 isn't out yet. I was thinking maybe I'd see a new category in the store
called Ibooks, but I don't see that, and I also didn't see an Ibooks category
in the Itunes prefs, something to add to the list in the sources
Hi,
My itunes shows the books source so its probably a question of having a system
or device which is ibooks compatible. Is4 is ibooks compatible so expect the
update on your ipod touch to reflect that possibility.

I have books in my sources table, but there are audiobooks in there. I was

won't be mixed together in the same table.

Hi,
As far as I can remember, if you really want to compare...the only thing you
can't do on the Mac as a blind person is actually perform the Apple hardware

so, though, you can get third-party tools that use Termin
Hello Chris and thank you for this very nifty trick. This, of course, will
only work for those of us who have a computer with a track-pad.
I write this in case there are those who may read this without realizing that
not everyone has use of a track-pad.
Excellent, Chris and thank you again.
I did when my sound switched t sound flower for no reason but I found a script
to modify online that will change your sound output at will. I adjusted it and
put it in the voice over keyboard commander.
Take care
