Hi, I usually upgrade to a new version of the Mac operating system by partitioning my hard drive into the number of partitions I will need for backward compatibility and in the installer for the new version press the show all disks button then name the partitions with the version of the operating system I am using so if I need to go back it is just a matter of going into start up disk and changing the disk then restarting. This task might be the best for all users but I find it gets the job done for me. Nick Gawronski

Any savvy user will understand it is easier to deal with the trackpad then put 
up with moving a mouse. I usually tether my mouse anyway to keep from having to 
route it to the voiceover cursor.

They're aware and nobody every knows if and when Apple will do anything about 
any bugs. That's just the way Apple is.

There's no particular method about the behavior in Pro Tools once you tether 
the mouse pointer except that sometimes adding the shift modifier to perform a 
physical mouse click seems to work a little better depending on the situation. 
The steps I outlined about use of the Track Pad are simply just an alternative 
to using a physical mouse.

Hi, Are these issues with using the mouse pointer with Pro Tools with voiceover 
going to be fixed and is Apple aware of them as I like the old method much 
better and think this new method can make new users not want to use Pro Tools 
if they use the audio tutorials around that don't talk about this method at 
all?  Nick Gawronski

Ah, yes. Yosemite is totally fine for Pro Tools if you tether the mouse 
pointer. When specifying that preference as a function of Activities in the 
VoiceOver Utility, it's very useable.

Yosemite is it safe to upgrade to Yosemite? I should have been more clear I 
just saw Yosemite in the subject line.

I bought the Apple Magic Track Pad when it first came out and didn't use it terribly much 
as I was using an old version of Pro Tools under OS 9 at the time. Having since switched 
over to Pro Tools 11 full time, I've experimented with the Track Pad as I know some 
others on the list have as well. For anybody who wants to easily perform modified clicks 
in Pro Tools to solo safe, record all, show or hide all with ease, I'd highly recommend 
it. One recommendation would be to turn off everything in the Track Pad panel of System 
Preferences except for the very first checkbox labeled "Tap to Click." If you 
set the mouse pointer to follow the VoiceOver cursor, simply holding down the modifier 
and tapping the Track Pad anywhere will perform the modified click. Further, pop-up lists 
behave normally with the modified behavior. Of course, laptop users with track pads 
already have this functionality but anybody with a Mac Mini or iMac, etc. would benefit 
from the Magic Track Pad. A mouse could possibly work OK but one risks the possibility of 
moving the mouse pointer before performing the click. The Track Pad won't have this issue 
unless one touches the pad elsewhere and moves it. I find that its form factor is 
practically fool-proof.

Just a thought for those without a surface to easily work with modified clicks.
