Hi Ester, Thanks for your detailed message. Unfortunately, when I go to me.com, and I try to bring up the menu, I hear a message that Safari is busy. If I type VO M again, I get to the Time Machine Menu. This is the only page I am encountering this issue, so I don't know what is going on that is preventing me access to this site.
