It is definitely possible but I have no personal experience . I understand from other posters that the pairing process is tricky as Apple give so little time to complete the pairing. A lot of people have had to resort to sighted help. I did see someone post who said that they succeeded in getting

Well my problem is even a bit more basic than that David. when connected by usb the focus blue 40 is there and when I unplugged the usb to connect via bluetooth, it seemed to be there because I had an option to remove it in the bt section, yet there was no communication between the braille

Hello Eleanor, In VoiceOver Utility, go down to the second from last category which is Braille. Select Layout. You’ll find several check boxes such as Use 8-dot Braille, and others. Then select the Verbosity category and select Braille. Set Braille verbosity to either low or medium. Cheers,

It is definitely not security related as I have installed several non app store apps without any problem. For some reason Vienna just does not respond and open on my iMac when I try to open it. I rare-downloaded the app but that did not help. I reinstalled Mavericks this morning for other reasons
