Hi all, I originally posted this to the voice over list, but since it had several questions, I changed the subject line to better reflect the message. Hi all, ever since Sunday evening, maybe late Monday morning, I've had a problem where the mac won't shut down right away, but I hear lots of sounds from within the mac mini, and then about 2 or 3 minutes later, it shuts down. I was instructed to go to the apple menu, and arrow down to shut down, and then press enter, and it worked until Sunday night, and the first time it didn't work, I held in the power button, and then it shut down, but now, it seems, that every other time I start the mac, I can't tell if voice over is started or not, and when I press f5, it says voice over off, so I have to re-start voice over again. What could be causing this, and how does one fix it? Also, in skype, if I end up in the search for contacts edit box, I can't get out of it, so what do I do, and if somebody has added me, I have no way of knowing this, even if they are on line, and also, in mail, when first starting it up, there's no automatic setting, as far as I know, unless you set it up, and then change preferences later, so when setting up mail, when you first start it for the first time, where is automatic? I don't like a computer that makes decisions for me, and I wonder if there's some setting in the mac where you can turn this off, because I don't want it deciding what my user name is, or a catigory is, etcetera. Maybe this is the mac, but if I didn't know better, I'd say this machine has a mind of its' own.
