Are you updating them both to catatonia?

Although I only got the 3 tones after entering the password. Must admit, it’s a bit of a pain in the place the sun don’t shine but at least I managed to sign in.

I got voiceover to start when I restarted my wife’s Mac, and all it said was Voiceover on, user name. It didn’t give me anywhere to enter the password to unlock the Mac, I even tried to tab around to find the password field and all it kept saying was voiceover on user name. I tried turning voiceover off and entering her password but that isn’t work either. So now I’ll have to wait until she gets home as I can’t unlock it now. I thought if I enabled voiceover to start on startup I’d be able to unlock the Mac with voiceover on. Oh, Simon, my wife’s Mac hasn’t got the Touch Bar.

Then to start it from the command prompt go into system preferences, Users and groups, Go across to the padlock and unlock it, Then back to the users / groups list, Highlight the very bottom user / feature which should be Log in and Then there should be an option to start voiceover at the log in screen. Check that and then exit should be all you need to do.

How does one turn on Voiceover to run on the startup of the Mac? I have it set up on my Mac of corse and a friend helped me set it up so I never found out what she did. I’d like to get voiceover to start up automatically on my wife’s Mac when I restart it. But not sure where I’m supposed to look to do this?
