Thanks. I’m one of those Windows users who has had a hard time switching over to the Mac mostly because I’ve always reverted back to my comfort zone – Windows. With that said, I haven’t given up on the Mac, but its a real struggle when I go back to trying to do something IOS related. The laptop appeared to finish one of the updates earlier and was prompting for a restart. I did get VO running again with Command+F5 and then it went through the restart. So I walked away for the last hour trying to keep my hands off while it does what ever updating it needs to go through.
I know IOS updates take a long time, so I’ll go back to check on it now. I will let you know where I get with it. So long as VO comes back up I think it will all go smoothly <YIKES>. Thanks.

Hi, Ilene, When you are doing an installation, Try pressing the Function+Control+F5. The OS X installer doesn't have the ability to switch the function keys from the default. Hope this makes sense.

My sighted niece was over today and helped me do the reset, and to make the process easier I unloaded VO with Command +F5. There were 2 IOS updates that the MBP had to go through. Apparently, it did the first of the two. It is currently downloading the second IOS update to IOS 10.10.5 (I believe that is the correct version). Anyway, my niece had to leave and I am now waiting on the download to finish. VO has not come back on. I have tried re-loading VO by using Command+F5, but it would not come back on. Should I have used the VO Utility with VO+F8? Does any one know at what point in this process I will be able to turn Voice Over back on or if it will come up on its own once the down-load is done? Sorry to be so dumb about this. Thanks for any help. Eileen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
