Why is there no option for the voice over feature to be available for iBooks only?

Hello,
We are aware if the 'black box' issue with the shim installer (downloaded from get.adobe.com/flashplayer), however, this should not be the case with the full installer. The links for the full installers are posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page, in the 'Still having problems' section.

Is there a fix for skipping or repeating songs, or for the voice over to come on without pushing any buttons?

Is there a fix for skipping or repeating songs, or for the voice over to come on without pushing any buttons?
I only use this 5th generation Shuffle when I run. I don't have headphone issues because I use running headphones meant to handle sweat. However, my Shuffle will, halfway through a song, go back to the beginning, play a few seconds and jump back to the beginning again. Also, when this starts happening, the Voice-over comes on again and again with no buttons being pushed. I keep the Shuffled clipped to the waistband of my running shorts, so it probably does get a little sweatty, but not like it would if it were clipped to the collar of my shirt!
Is this a problem I'm going to have to live with? I never had this issue with my old Shuffle, which was the first of the clip-on Sheffles.

Hi punisherbv,
Are you using the beta? it's not fully secure, so try using Firefox 3 instead. If you are already using Firefox 3, it seems like what Firefox is saying is correct- the site is not supplying identity information. So what you could do is go to that exact site, then click on the little golden lock at the very corner of the page. Then, enter the 'permissions' tab and allow everything. Exit, and then try bookmarking the page!

Recording your own commands for the Voice Over Utility

To Record your own commands for the Voice Over Utility?
Is this possible?
How?
thanks

If you simply want to change the command used, or add an extra command that does the same thing, you just need to know that the file names are used as the name of the commands for Speakable Items.
If you open system preferences, the speech pane, select "Speech Recognition" at the top and then "Commands" on the next line there's a button there - it's labeled "Open Speakable Items Folder". Click on that and it shows you a folder containing all the global commands. If you want to change one of these, you can edit the file name. It's probably safer if you duplicate the file ("duplicate" from the context menu) and then change the name of the copy, so the original is still there in case of mishaps! I'm not sure if a comma in the file name would work but I suspect it wouldn't - none of the commands there have commas in them.
If you want to change a command in a specific application then open the "Application Speakable Items" folder and explore from there.
Another thing which might help is to go back to System Preferences and click on the "Global Speakable Items" in the command set list and then click the "Configure" button. There's an option there which will make more variations on the commands work.
The most complicated way is to write your own new speakable items. This gives you the most flexibility but also you need to learn some AppleScript to enable you to do it. If you want to learn AppleScript, check out the AppleScript resources - it does lots more than just speakable commands and the general resources should help you most.
Best of luck!

The roll over feature doesn't work for customizing, is there a way I can fix this

I always have to change my browsers theme to see what it looks like, instead of just roll over. Is there a way to fix this?

Recording the Voice over

I came across the voice over feature on my iPhone and was wondering if there was any way I could record it saying something with my voice memo feature?

Can I setup my new macbook air without the voice over?

I was given a new macbook air as a gift and if it cannot be setup or used without the voice over feature I will have to return it. I cannot imagine why anyone would think this is a good idea. I just want to use it like a laptop.... is that too much to ask?

I'm having the same exact issue. Got it as a gift, and can't get past the set up. I would try the fix dominic suggested, IF I could just get past the "What country do you live in" question. It won't let me select a country, and so far, can't access anything else on this thing until I get past that part... which I can't, after trying for 3 hours now.
The steps given in the 'voiceover' tutorial don't seem to do anything, but cause system error beeps.
I can't select a country via the 'mouse pad' either.

Connect the iPhone to your computer, select it in iTunes, click "Configure Universal Access", and turn off "VoiceOver".

HT2534 why is there no option of "none" when signing up in iTunes for the billing part

why is there no option as "none" for the billing account in iphone5?

If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
Regards.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base, before you post a question.

Why is there a limit on the number of times a "DVD player region" can be changed, and can it be adjusted for more region changes, or an indefinite number of region changes?

Why is there a limit on the number of times a "DVD player region" can be changed, and can this numbert be adjusted for more region changes, or an indefinite number of region changes?

Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

Why is there no updates to the firefox throttle add-ons ? Is there an alternative? throttle is Bandwidth utilization throttling and monitoring extension for Firefox

Why is there no updates to the firefox throttle add-ons ? Is there an alternative? throttle is Bandwidth utilization throttling and monitoring extension for Firefox

Well, it's probably one of two things: either the awesome dude(tte) who developed this awesome extension was tired of updating or the changes in FFox software architecture carried out between version 3.x and 4+ created challenges that were too difficult for him to surmount or a combination of both. Honestly, I love Mozilla but I think they dropped the ball on the throttle issue. It's such an obvious and necessary function and it's so easy to implement. They should have included it a long time ago as in built feature. And, if you are browsing and looking at this post and you agree. Add a suggestion in mozilla.org. The more of us asking for this function, the better.
Meanwhile, I have the following solution for you:
Solution 0.6.9.23.11 (DIY Version of my Solution ):
Setting Up a Separate Portable Firefox 3.6.x that runs independently of and simultaneously to your latest version of Firefox
Get FireFox Portable 3.6.24:
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36
It's a portable app, meaning that it's got all it's profiles and preference and application files in the same directory. It won't compete with your current installation of Firefox, has it's own separate extension folder etc...
Get Firefox Throttle 1.1.6
http://firefox-throttle.en.softonic.com/ (I couldn't find it in the official mozilla site)
It will be flagged as incompatible with even that old version of firefox (but it isn't). You just need to turn off compatibility checking. You can do that with this extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/?src=search
If you have Bookmarks you want to port to the portable (bad pun intend), backup them up to bookmarks.json file on your desktop and import them to the portable version. You can export/import more stuff using FEBE addon but that's a whole world of headaches if you don't your doing.
Many of your extensions favourites extensions will no longer work on FFox 3.6.x but if, in that same addon's page, you look around until you find a link to previous versions of the addon, you will notice that the compatibility info is right below the version numbers. Just download and install the latest version that is compatible with you 3.6.x....
Voila mon ami! Your FFox 3.6 portable has just become your own private Download Mule whom you can throttle to your hearts content (ever throttle a real Mule??? I wouldn't try it, personally...) Do your regular browsing in another (unthrottled) browser and do your big downloads in the Mule...
If you want to keep using your brand spanking new Firefox for other types of browsing while using this portable Mule edition for the downloads, just add -p -no-remote to the shortcut leading to your Firefox Portable Mule edition.
For example, my taskbar shortcut to my Firefox Portable is:
""C:\Program Files (x86)\FirefoxPortableLegacy36\FirefoxPortable.exe"
I just changed it to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\FirefoxPortableLegacy36\FirefoxPortable.exe" -p -no-remote
This will make it occupy it's own independent instance and I can use the both my Firefox Nightly and the Firefox Portable editions at the same time (each one, using a different profile ie. extensions, cookies, password, cache etc).
If you're on Linux, you can just run this on Wine and set the Windows Version to Windows 2000 in the Wine config,

Solution 0.6.9.23.11 (Non-DIY Version of my Solution):
Download my preconfigured but SWAGGED-THE-HECK-UP PortableFirefox 3.6
Having realized that some of you may find the above to be daunting. I took my own customize firefox portable, took out all my data and compressed the folder (it's portable, so it'll run as soon as you unzip it).
Here is a screenshot:
http://www.mediafire.com/?o95nkwo8y6q535j
Here is the download link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?xdw87ivf3184u2s
Don't forget to modify your Start/Taskbar shortcuts:
"C:\wherever you decide to put it\FirefoxPortableLegacy36-Swagged-UP!\FirefoxPortable.exe"
I just changed it to:
"C:\wherever you decide to put it\FirefoxPortableLegacy36-Swagged-UP!\FirefoxPortable.exe" -p -no-remote

Why is there no option to "hide sensitive notifications" on my phone?

Why is there no option to "hide sensitive notifications" on my phone? (LG G3) I just updated to Lollipop, and it now it shows all my emails and texts on the lock screen which is not cool. When I tried to search for a fix, I found that you need to choose "hide sensitive notifications" under the "Sound and Notification" settings, but that option is nowhere to be found. Help!

I have figured it out. It's really dumb. So you need to set the locking mechanism (pattern, code, whatever). Then go to Settings>Sound and Notification>Lock Screen> Show All Notifications. Then when you go to Settings>Sound and Notification>Apps and pick something like "messages", the "sensitive" option appears.
So essentially if you choose the "Hide Sensitive Only" it seems to think that all are sensitive and you can't pick and choose. But if you "Show All", it will let you decide what is sensitive. Very complicated.

MAC Voice Over: Why does the screen view lag behind the voice over audio?

MAC Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
When using voice over on a MAC with DE 1.8 - most times when paging thru a pdf file/book the voice and the view are inconsistent. When using VO - moving to the next page with the right arrow key - the audio starts to read the next page (correct), but the display is one page behind (not correct). For readers - especially those that have significant visual impairment - this will not work for them. Is this a defect - and if so - I would be very happy to re-test this feature if a new revision of DE 1.8 is provided.
I am unsure this is the correct forum to raise issues such as this one. I am in the process of evaluating Adobe DE 1.8 - my sister is blind and I am trying to move her to a MAC with VO. I really appreciate Adobe's effort in supporting JAWS and MAC VO - thank you on behalf of all disabled folks out there.
Below is a detailed list of steps to re-produce this audio/screen inconsistency issue.
- Install DE 1.8 and add to the dock
- Add a pdf file/book to DE 1.8. For my issue, I am adding the "Voice Over Getting Started" guide.
- Turn on Voice Over - Cmd+F5
- Using VO - Go to the dock and select DE and start it. The "Last Read Book" typically is the focus for the VO cursor. Then using VO next item (VO+right arrow) - move the VO cursor to "Library Content Table". This is the list of books that are displayed in DE.
- Using the up/down keyboard arrows - move up and down thru the books in the content list. At this point - you should already see that the VO audio announcing the title of a book is not synchronized with the row in the table that is displayed. The voice is announcing a book that you selected, but the display is showing the previous book.
- Once you hear (not see) the book you want to test with, hit <enter>. DE will open the book and start to read using VO. At this point the screen and audio for the first page in the book are the same.
- Once the book has been opened by DE - Using the right arrow key navigate to the next page in the pdf/book. Normally the right arrow key is the short cut to allow a user to move forward or backwards thru a book, one page at a time.
- With DE and VO - what happens is that VO responds to the right arrow key and starts to read the next page. But the screen is still showing the previous page. Hence the screen and the VO audio are out of sync.
- For anyone that uses MAC VO - this will prevent them from using Adobe DE 1.8.
If I am doing something incorrect - please let me know. If you need any assistance or further information regarding this issue - please email me.
Best Regards

hi, Mike R:
Thanks for your information. We have tested several Mac machines, iMac and MBP (use the same version as yours). But we can't reproduce the issue. Actually working with VoiceOver is a fundamental request for our application, we did test them before releasing the build.
We suggest you test other applications, e.g. Finder, Preview and iTunes, to make sure if VoiceOver works fine with them. Or can you please check if your VoiceOver settings are correct?

Why is there no option for the voice over feature to be available for iBooks only?
