Henry, this isn't normally recommended, but yeah, try doing command+control+eject. If that doesn't work, just hit the power button, hold it in for about 5 to 7 seconds, release, then after about another 20 seconds to give the hard disk time to spin down, hit your power again to reboot. don't hold it down the second time though. Just hit it and letter go.
Again, I'd not normally advise doing this, and I'd kindly ask that you try the other method with command+control+eject first, but if that's not working nor is feezable, then as a very very last resort, you can try that. don't get in the habbit though of doing it.

Hi I have been trying out various apps on my mac, and at the moment all VO is saying is "busy" when I either press a combinationb of keys with VO. I cannot escape from an app by pressing command plus q, I want to shut down the mac - I'm panicking a little <smiles>. Also, when I turn the trackpad commander off with VO plus a two finger anticlockwise rotation, if I touch the trackpad with one finger VO announces what cell my finger is touching-is this correct? Any help will be most appreciated best wishes Henry -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Christopher-Mark Gilland Sent: 20 November 2013 19:55 To: 'OS X & iOS Accessibility' Subject: While on the topic of bluetooth... Has anyone tried paring either with a Mac, an IPod, IPhone, or an IPad, the Aftershokz Bluez bluetooth bone induction stereo headset? My friend Ben and I have a pare and let me tell you what! Oh, my, god! This is by far the best headset I think I ever have had the pleasure to use! OK, at $120USD, they are a little bit pricy, I'll admit, but oh my heavens! are they worth it! I think Ben will probably jump in here to say as well that they are absolutely gorgeous! If you ever've tried the Aftershokz Sports headphones, imagine those only with no wire. Just totally bluetooth. They are incredible! If you want my honest opinion, I'd tell anyone! to not get the cheap $65/70 jawbone or whatever headsets. Just save up and get the Bluez! Trust me on this! You will not! I promise! regret!
