Parallels desktop for Mac frustrations.

2023-11-16 Thread Maurice A. Mines
Hello everyone, I'm writing because I'm extremely frustrated with many issues 
in this software. The largest issue that I'm experiencing is the problem 
software not recognizing any comports. I think this is a function of my arm 
based Mac. I in a licensed radio amateur. That means I must use radio 
programming software. This software according to the company that produces the 
software should run in a virtual machine that of course is the Arm 64 version 
of Windows. This appears to be true on the surface, meaning that the program, 
and your programs will install. Unfortunately when it comes to actually 
connecting the radios to the computer, because of parallels insistence that 
there must be an inaccessible dialog box that demands that you okay the 
communications port to be opened meaning it identifies the cable connected 
properly but then refuses to actually allow USB data to pass.

My question to the group is if the time to go back to VMware? Will VMware run 
better when it comes to dealing with USB cable communication?

Two a completely different frustration. It appears that I cannot do anything 
without the ubiquitous search box from popping up. Not to mention when the 
search box isn't popping up, Microsoft teams takes its place. The only 
workaround that I found it seems to be effective for these two situations is to 
turn voiceover, and interact with the OS X portion of the computer. Meaning 
that I go back to doing things on my Mac, meaning going between Windows. 
Navigating between Windows that are open using voiceover. This approach works 
about 90% of the time. The other approach is that if there are too many 
applications open, and my MacBook Pro begins to freeze, I can go over to the 
force quit applet, and pick the application that is causing all the trouble and 
forcibly stop it from running.

The final frustration occurs when I even attempt to which out to the company 
for technical support. While I have no problem with "signing in" it would be 
nice if my only option were not to have a chat and then t. Just simply because 
most of the time those chat clients are not accessible when one uses either 
voiceover, or jaws 

So far, it appears that the only positive take away is the fact that I can use 
dictation software without too many problems.

I am curious to know what people on the list thank you? Just for the record, I 
have the  professional addition of parallels desktop for Mac. I am currently 
running Mac OS Sonoma 14.1.1 on aM2  Mac.

Does anyone have any pearls of wisdom regarding everything I've dictated about? 
That brings me to the end of this, if there's something that has been written 
about that dictation software did not catch, please ask me what did I really 
intend to say. I will be happy to clear up any  unintended errors that the 
dictation software they have created.

Sincerely Maurice mines.

Best headset to use with navigation apps out and about

2023-11-16 Thread Simon Cavendish
Hi

I’d like to start experimenting with navigation apps.  I will need to purchase 
a good headset, and I guess this will have to be bone conduction one as I’m 
totally blind and need to monitor other sounds in the streets.  Could you share 
your experience with such?  I know many of you use navigation apps to enhance 
independent mobility.  For me, it’s going to be a tremendous learning curve.

Many thanks

Simon
