Hi. The reason you're arrow keys aren't working is because you have quicknav turned on in VoiceOver. Press the left and right arrows together to turn it off. May I suggest getting started with VoiceOver first? A good way to do that is to press control option command f8 to run through the voiceOver quick start. HTH, Matthew Campbell.
