Hi, when you receive a call, you should get a dialog pop up, with answer being the default button, so simply pressing return will answer. The way I use Skype is to use VO-J to jump me between the table and other parts of the window. So I interact with the table and find where it says contacts, t

Hi Alex, The menu that it's opening is the Sort menu just beside the Messages Table. I'll play some more later but it seems like VO isn't properly focusing. I don't use the TrackPad commander much as I'm a throwback to the infancy of VO and haven't progressed with the times. Later... Tim Ki

Hi Alex, Are you sure that it’s actually starting up from the thumb drive? It sounds like your Mini is starting up from the Recovery Partition instead. They do look and feel just the same. I think that the second item when starting up from the Recovery Partition says “Re-install MacOS X” whe

this might sound obvious, but the best way to ensure you start up from your external drive is to go into the utilities menu, (I've temporarily blanked on the name of the utilities app that runs in the recovery partition) the one just to the right of the apple menu and choose startup disc. You ca

Yes, I did the startup disk selection yesterday, from the Apple menu. My thumb drive is still the selected disk (oddly, my beta partition has vanished, even though I haven’t yet erased anything). The second item in the initial list is indeed “install”, not “reinstall”, so it looks like I’m defin

Hi Alex, How about we try this in Terminal instead. Sometimes, Disk Utility has problems executing things if the drive is having issues. You should be able to get into Terminal from your thumb drive by going up to the Utilities menu. Enter the following: diskutil list (press return) this wil

It’s been an hour, and we’re at 48%. I have to be up early, so I’m headed to bed; hopefully this is done by tomorrow morning. I didn’t realize zeroing would erase the disk, so I had a moment of panic when it said “started erasing disk”; I wondered if I'd chosen the correct disk. On Jun 7, 2014

Hi, I had that same feeling earlier today when I wiped a server’s main HD. Oh crap, did I remember to archive the directory or am I going to be here for hours restoring a backup or re-entering usernames. Anyway, zeroing a drive will typically take quite a while, so sleeping through the thing

Screen saver and VO?

Hi, Is there an option that I'm not noticing, that will stop the screen from going off in the middle of reading something? I'll be reading a long article with vo+A, and the screen will go dim and Voice Over will spout off the contents of the authorization dialogue. I prefer to keep the screen save

RE: Screen saver and VO?

2014-06-07 Thread Tristan
I know about this. It doesn't seem to cover VO, though. For example, if I leave my computer idle for a few minutes, I want the screen to go into screen saver mode. However, if VO is reading, the flow is interrupted to announce that the screen saver is active, which is a minor irritant at best. ---
