Reading Voiceover Manual

In Adobe Reader, I cannot move from the table of contents to the text; it just skips over the text area to the scroll bar (horizontal splitter).
In Preview, I can navigate, but cannot toggle the disclosure triangle. The manual says to use VO \, which doesn't work. Neither will command right arrow.
My last post was treated as an answered question, but in fact this question hasn't been answered: there were posts about pdf files but nothing about the disclosure triangles.
What is the point of having disclosure triangles if a person is unable to see the tiny little things?
Any clues will be welcome. I have spent hours trying to figure out a way to do this, including a half hour wasted with an Apple rep who didn't understand the problem.

I have used VO+\ (ControlOptionBackslash) successfully in both the Finder (in list view) and in Preview in the sidebar outline.
My guess is that you are trying to interact with the sidebar, instead of the item to be expanded. Are you sighted? Try this: Navigate to the sidebar. The VO Cursor (thick black outline) should be around the entire sidebar. Press VOShiftDown to "interact with" the sidebar. Now, when you get to an item than can be expanded, VoiceOver will read the title of the section plus the word, "group." At this point, you should be able to use VO+\ to expand the group, and VoiceOver will state how many rows have been added.
Did that help? If not, try to use a Finder window in list view (Command+2) and attempt the same thing to expand a folder.

How do I send an iMessage, a step by step answer. I have read the manual and it doesnt explain how

Can someone explain how you send an iMessage. I know how to send texts and emails but I only want to use the iMessage so that my company bill doesnt show text numbers called. I have got iMessage turned on in settings. I have read the manual and it says you can do it but it doesnt say how.

Thanks for your response. It helps a little. I now dont know how to change the send button from green to blue. What determines how the message is sent?
I know in the settings I can turn off "send as sms" so that should stop text messages being sent. I went through my contact list and selected a few people at random and noticed the send button was green for some and blue for others so I am thinking it may be either something they do to let me iMessage them or it is something I have to do in my contact list.
Do you know?

I meet a lot of 3G signal when a call signal disappears 3G! I read the manuals and anything I find the problem! I do so with other brands and other cell does not, the same goes when I receive a call!

Who is your carrier? Are you actually on 3G?
Do you have 3G turned on or off? Settings > General > Network > Enable 3G

I have read the manual, but as I can see there is nowhere where it tells me how to put my Pages document in iCloud storage, could someone tell me?

Here is some information on how to get a document from your iDevice to iCloud (which means you need to have the iOS version of Pages installed on your iPad or iPhone:

FWIW, I assume you are on Lion? Please change your profile - it still shows 10.5.8...

READ THE MANUAL

The number of topics in this forum that could be addressed by the simple statement "Read the manual" (or its imperative form with an 'f' word in it somewhere) is amazing!
Come on Apple, make READING THE MANUAL a prerequisite of using your superb technology! Yes, sometimes people DO have problems, but none so great as mis-sold expectations presented by others, but REAL problems have simple solutions: get your network operator to replace your faulty unit as soon as you know that the problem is not only 'finger-trouble' - just the same as before iPhone ever appeared in the Universe!
Just a thought married with annoyance at wasting time on 'nothing' problems married with a rant at the lazy and the mock-helpless about 'heal thyself' by READING THE MANUAL..... Forgive me for I have sinned (but not QUITE as much as some)!

A link to a web-site that a user may not be able to access is not the same as a 'Help' button/facility that gives direct access to information in (almost) all circumstances, is it?
True, but how often are you without any internet access whatsoever via an available wi-fi network or cellular?
And if/when this does occur - no internet access whatsoever, you are basing this on needing access to the iPhone manual right then and there. Possible, but probably not likely.
Oh, and yes, I did delete the links that I found (personally) to be unnecessary and replaced them with some which I found more useful because if you can do anything on the web then you can always search for stuff, can't you.......IF you can do anything on the web, that is.....
Why search when you have a bookmark that takes you right to it?
To each his/her own.

Maybe the Nano you got is defective. Have it replaced.

EQ Problem (I have read the manual!!)

First, I have read the manual and know how the EQ "Off","Flat" and others are supposed to be difference. Knowing this, I am sure that the EQ on my iPod Touch does not work properly. The problem is like following:
I have about 30 songs in my iPod that has "Rock" as their EQ presets. But when I play these songs in my iPod with EQ "flat", the EQ pre-set for those songs (i.e. Rock) has no effect whatsoever. The evidence of this is, I start playing music with EQ "Flat", and the sound quality for those songs seems normal, so I set the EQ to "Off" and then "Rock" to test this, and my conclusion is, those songs under "Flat" sound completely the same as they are under "Off", and sound completely different under "Rock". This means the pre-set "Rock" for these songs are not working because otherwise the their sound effects under "Rock" and "Flat" are supposed to be the same.
I am sure that this has nothing to do with my headphone since I have tried the original apple one and a better Philips one. The problem remained regardless which headphone I used.
Also, the firmware of my iPod is up-to-date. I also have the latest version of iTunes.
I am wondering if this is a problem of my iPod Touch itself, and I am wondering if so can I get a replaced one. I kind of worry about this because there is no apple store in my city, and that my iPod was purchased online so I have no receipt, but the iPod was guarunteed to be new when I received it like 10 days ago since it was sealed inside out and had never been regiestered. Did anyone ever have this problem and/or know the solution to it? Thanks.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: HelloWorldApp
maybe i have the classpath set wrong..currently it's set to C:\jdk1.3.1_01\bin\;"." is it supposed to be somewhere else? well when i use codewarrior it all works fine but i only have a trial version of it and would like to do the command line thing 1) because it's free and 2) because i like typing the commands ...also i have the exact same problem to overcome on my linux box..same error message as above.

Hello Fueley,
I can see that you are running JDK 1.3.1_01 on a Windows OS of some kind. On different Windows OS you have a a different place to set CLASSPATH environment variable. For instance, in Windows/95 you can set CLASSPATH environment variable in the autoexec.bat file. While in Windows/NT you set CLASSPATH environment variable in the Environment tab of the System Properties of the Control Panel.
First clear your classpath by typing in a DOS window:
C:> set CLASSPATH=
Then point your classpath to the current directory. The current directory is indicated by a period. The quotation marks are not needed.
To set your classpath, type in a DOS window:
C:> set CLASSPATH=.
If you want to, you can add other paths your classpath, for example, the dt.jar and tools.jar
C:> set CLASSPATH=.;C:\jdk1.3.1_01\lib\dt.jar;C:\jdk1.3.1_01\lib\tools.jar
See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/install-windows.html#Classpath for more information.

Dumb Newbie cannot send to color-And I read the Manual!

OK. I have been slogging my way around FCP, mostly having fun. But one thing is driving me crazy,
and I hope and pray you can tell me what I am doing wrong. Basically, I am unable to send sequences
to Color. When I try, after I name the Color Project Name, and hit OK, instead of opening up the sequence, the Projects window pops up, showing my various hard drives. I can make a new project, but nothing happens. The sequence does not open and only the Project window is available. And yes, the sequence is selected. The clips within the sequence are ProRes 422 HQ. Any ideas? I am sure it is something simple, but it has been two days and I can't figure it out. Thanks!

unable to send sequences to Color. When I try, after I name the Color Project Name, and hit OK, instead of opening up the sequence, the Projects window pops up, showing my various hard drives.
Shouldn't be doing that. You have a sequence (hope its 'legal') selected in the Browser. Under File... Send To... COLOR... the COLOR Project Name dialog opens... accept the default which is usually the sequence name... if you have to supply a name, you aren't sending anything. OK the dialog. COLOR opens. It may momentarily show the control surface dialog and the main default project directory, but the app is designed to pipeline straight into a project otherwise.
You have furnished no other clues as far as hardware configuration is concerned, but COLOR would normally warn you that you were below minimums if that were the case. Have you attempted to open COLOR directly? To create a new project you must supply a name and "SAVE" it. Might be worth a try to see if there is some other mode at work.

10.8.4 Update and Voiceover

I use voiceover all the time when on the Mac because I cannot see. Voiceover would read to me web pages, e-mails and documents from Pages, Edit Text and PDFs in Preview and whatever else was available. After updating to OSX 10.8.4, it will read to me everything as before, barring PDFs in Preview. It will only read PDFs if text is selected. Before the update I only had to move the mouse pointer onto the text and it would read this to me. This is more than inconvenient as most downloads of text are in PDF, e.g. the IOS 6 manual, I-pod 7th generation manual and much more besides.
Has anybody else experienced this problem? If so, was it possible to rectify this?
So far I have downloaded the operating system, again redownloaded the Combo update of 10.8.4, trashed preferences, downloaded Adobe Reader. I found the same effect with Adobe Reader, voiceover would not read the text unless highlighted.
I find this ironic as the release notes for 10.8.4 stated that this update improved voiceover integration with Preview.
Any help would be appreciated
Regards Bucky

Hi Bucky, I'm deaf so never use it, but will look into it when I'm on 10.8 later tonight.

Win 7 x64 + iTunes 9 VoiceOver kit won't install

I have iTunes9, upgraded from iTunes8. When installing iTunes8 I have changed default location from Program Files(x86) to Program Files - based on the warnings about iTunes8 and Win7 I found on the internet. This version worked flawlessly. So the upgrade automatically went to the same folder for 64bit applications which iTunes9 claims to be, although it, unfortunately, isn't.
The problem is when installing VoiceOver Kit - it downloads within iTunes, Windows pops up UAC windows asking for permission which is then granted and boom - nothing happens. The tickmark next to do VoiceOver is disabled again. When trying to repeat, installation starts, this time without downloading but the result is the same or eventually iTunes crashes. After restart and selecting VoiceOver iTunes starts downloading VoiceOver kit again.
Is there a workaround? Is it possible to install VoiceOver manually? Why it is not included in the iTunes download package in the first place? (ok, this last one is rather rhetorical). And at last - do you think that uninstalling iTunes and installing it again to the default folder for 32 bit applications would help?
Thank you!

When do I learn to follow instructions properly? I have uninstalled everything from Apple, restarted and then reinstalled iTunes, this time heeding to the last sentence of your post: "This applies even if you're already logged into an administrator account." - and voila - VoiceOver installed smoothly this time. I am syncing/charging my iPod now but I am sure it will work.
Running as administrator has been mentioned in some other issues previously, but I always assumed that since I am logged into administrator account, what difference does it make. Heavens it does! (I originally wrote h-ell it does, but Apple banned that word from its forums. I am not a native speaker and I know it is not a nice place to be in, but I didn't know it is such a bad word either.)
Thanks for the hint! And a lesson
PS: The moment Apple will finally start support my language (Slovak) in its products - and I don't mean full localization, just the ability to write and to transfer such files - I am switching, I swear. They are moving on the track, release after release, but they are just not there yet.

How can I download files from my PC to my new I-Pad? Mainly PDF files. The manual doesn't make sense to me...

I have read the manual on how to transfer a file from a computer to my I-Pad. It says in I-Tunes, go to devices Apps pane...
I open the I-Tunes App and can not find anything referencing an Apps pane.
What am I missing?

You connect your device to your comptuer and open iTunes. Once it 'sees' the ipad, you can click on the name of your device and then you should see the tabs. In the Apps tab is your interface to remove apps, also to use the file transfer protocol - if your app supports that - to move files from your computer to your iPad. You can also use this interface to move the app icons from menu page to menu page on your device.
First, to use that apps tab, you'll need an app that'll read PDF files.
The file structure on an iPad is different than that from a computer or Mac. There is no general 'overall' file manager. Every file on your iPad needs to be associated with an app. So to read PDF files, you'll first need to install an app. iBooks will read PDF files. as will ReaddleDocs. I also see goodreader recommended a lot. So just search for PDF reader and find one that looks good to you.
Install the app. After the app is installed, you can go to the apps tab and move files onto your device.

I have a PDF with a diagram, I need to translate the text so I open it in Illustrator. The document opnes up vertically oriented I try to put it horizontal to be able to read and change the text However everything I have done is not working The artboa

I have a PDF with a diagram, I need to translate the text so I open it in Illustrator. The document opens up vertically oriented I try to put it horizontal to be able to read and change the text However everything I have done is not working The artboard does change, but the diagram stays vertical.....Please help I need to finish that for today..Please help

A PDF usually consists of one to an indefinite number of clipping masks inside each other.
You need to be very carefull with selecting stuff.
So you need to read the manual on how to select stuff and on the basics of Illustrator.
On top of that: because of the complex hierarchy of PDF files, it is kind of difficult to help you without seeing anything.
