Hi, To your first question
No, it is not necessary to restart any of the Macintosh computers unless an update requires it. Mine has been on for at least an entire month now without a restart, and it works perfectly fine as if it had just booted up. Secondly, keeping your iPod Touch connected all the time should not be a problem. In fact, it'll probably benefit you if you have been using it. I believe it will charge it. Third, in my case it has always seemed using the regular VoiceOver navigation keys (Vo-left and right arrow) work better. I have noticed that with some pages, using the up and down arrow keys doesn't always work, so I would recommend the VO approach. You can use shift-up, down, left or right arrow to select lines and characters respectively on a web page. Holding down the control key in conjunction with either shift-left or right arrow will highlight from your current position to the beginning of a line, or the end of a line, respectively. This seems to be working in most areas where there is a text field, or HTML content. For some reason, it's not always possible to navigate by utilizing the arrow key approach, however. Hope this helps. Regards, Nic On Oct 3, 2009, at 2:32 AM, Lynn Schneider wrote: > > Hi there.
