Re: Minimac emergency questions, OT

Hi,

the group site for macvisionaries is 
http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries.  Just a quick FYI, its called a 
Mac Mini. :).  No, windows and applications do not need to be closed before 
shutting down a Mac.  Actually, there is a setting were you can have your Mac 
reopen opened windows and apps after a restart.  But to close a window, press 
command W.  To Close an app, press command Q.  As far as accessing content on 
the web, you need to navigate to the html content area, and interact.  
Interacting is done with control option, shift, and the down arrow pressed at 
the same time.  One thing, Mac minis work best with Voiceover when attached to 
a monitor or television.  I’m not sure if you were aware of this or not.  You 
can find a lot of getting started podcasts from vision Australia at 
http://www.visionaustralia.org/living-with-low-vision/learning-to-live-independently/using-technology-and-computers/help-yourself!-technology-podcasts-and-resources/computer-access.

Minimac emergency questions, OT

2013-12-25 Thread Regina Alvarado
I know this is totally off topic. I wrote to Raul privately thinking I had a 
few weeks to answer my questions and help with group site. However, my brother 
and sister-in-law bought me a Minimac. What is the address to MacVissionaries,, 
and where are there some very, very basic tutorials/podcasts? Just so I know. 
Does anyone know if the Mac need to have all windows closed before shutting 
down, and if so, how do I close windows and apps? I have been through the 
on-screen tutorial, which is awesome, but I think I misunderstood something or 
I am doing the wrong command. I also cannot get from the toolbar in Safari to 
the webpage with the links or I could access applevis. I was on the site but 
could not interact with it. Anyone with emergency help? Thanks in advance ever 
so much. I never saw this coming! Total and oh so sweet surprise!!
