how to open an ibook on the mac?

Hi everyone, I installed el capitain a few days ago. I have not used ibooks on the mac for a while. I have a lot of books so i hide the ones not downloaded on my mac. I can delete a book but somehow cant seem to open one now on the mac. I interact with the bookshelf table and are on the title col

That makes a checklist, but if you want a bulleted list, find the Style button instead. That will pop up a list of options, among them different list options. Select the one you want,then use the same procedure to disable the list style when you're done. You could also make your list, select it,

Yes that’s right because the invisible man in the sky micro manages things to that degree he cares what anyone says and gets revenge by screwing their computer. Good one George.:) I’m glad I smartened up and didn’t buy in to the nonsense that is religion. Such a waste of resources, lives and

Perhaps we could get with Applevis and write an open letter to Apple about braille. Not just for the Mac, but for the phone too, as there are some huge annoyances there too. The open letter seemed to help with xCode so maybe braille can get it next. Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 5, 2015, at 7:

Just for the record, I'm not sure how much my letter did for Xcode. Apple had been steadily improving Xcode accessibility for years, just not at a pace I'd like, and version 7 still doesn't address many of my concerns. The processes are easier and more reliable, certainly, but VO users still fol

Braille Support in OS X

I am posting a new thread in the hopes of starting a "focused" discussion of the braille support in OS X. What I mean by "focused" is this. What exactly, specifically, are the shortcomings of OS X's braille support. I need to know this for two reasons. One, to better use this personally

Re: Braille Support in OS X

My biggest problem is that I cannot read formatting information, like italics and bold. For example, on a webpage, if something is italicized, VoiceOver just puts it in a new element, and doesn't show that it is formatted any differently in braille. Another problem is that we can't change the fa

Re: Braille Support in OS X

Devin, Does the formatting issue apply to all braille codes? I thought UEB handled this better or is it due to how Apple implemented it? The VO cursor thing would be annoying for sure and I will look at that when I start working with my braille display. Thanks, this is good feedback

Re: Braille Support in OS X

Nope, its how Apple handled things. I think the new element thing coul have been a sort of temporary fix, but the formatting has never been implimented. This effects books and webpages the most. For an example of this, see http://biblehub.com/commentaries/guzik/genesis/32.htm In this page, there

For me, at least, having to feel dots 7 and 8 just to know where the cursor is is just not what I'd like. For example, when I'm in a dialog, and voiceover focus is on the text of the dialog, its hard to read with dots 7 and 8 in the way. I'd like the mac braille implimentation to be more like th

Re: Braille Support in OS X

Okay, that makes sense, and I remember thinking the same thing during my brief flirtation with braille on OS X years back. Dots 7 and 8 seems like a great way to highlight text in braille, until you actually try to read it. Then it just slows you down and is plain distracting. I think you can tu
