Hi Sarah, Thanks for your suggestion. I went into menu extras and bluetooth seemed to be switched on. Also I could find the Macbook when I searched for bluetooth devices from another device. So I switched it off and then did the add braille display again and switched it on again and then it let me proceed. But after I paired it I was in an edit field and couldn't read anything in it or find anything else in the window. Don't know what that was all about. And have no braille on the display, tried resetting the display but still not working. I think maybe there's no driver for this display (a Braillenote Apex) because now in the list of displays in Voiceover Utility it says this display has 40 cells which it doesn't. Anyway I'll ask on the braillenote list or ask Humanware…thanks for your help.
