Shawn, Yes, you are correct. I’m sorry for my confusion. I am updating OSX on my Mac Book Pro. I am not doing a thing with the IPhone.
Although I get VO to work, I seem to be stuck at the same point that I cannot get beyond. When VO first comes up, it says, Logon screen. I do VO+Right-arrow (quick nav is positively off), and I get a “user” group box that when I interact with it says my name. Then if I vo+spacebar on my name, the group box/item seems to close and I keep being prompted for a password. I type in what I believe my niece helped me change it to this afternoon and am not sure what I should be doing after that. I’ve tried pressing the enter key after typing in the password which seems to remove Voice Over and then It either is still on the same screen or else comes back to that same screen when I load VO with either Command+F5 or FN+command+F5. Additionally, when I continue doing VO+RightArrow There is also a “go” button that I have tried selecting with VO+spacebar and same result as pressing enter after I type in the password. Other options on the screen are sleep, restart, and shutdown. This is driving me crazy right now. Does anyone have any know-how on how I can get beyond this point or what its doing? I am wondering if something went wrong with the password update and I’ve tried entering a password one too many times and am now locked out! Thanks.

Are you trying to update your iPhone or Mac? If you're trying to update your Mac, it's simply called OS X. iOS is for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches and they haven't gotten to iOS 10 yet. Also, my best advice to any new Mac user is that if you ever want to learn the Mac, you have to stop going back to Windows every time you struggle with something. If you're flustered, take a break, maybe watch some TV and then when you feel ready, come back and try to do what you were doing when you first got flustered. It's easy to go back to the thing you're comfortable with, but if you force yourself to take one step at a time and learn the Mac, you'll get the hang of it eventually.

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.
