Re: Something To Consider When Updating Your Mac

In my experience, the problems arise under two different circumstances. Installing a new OS on top of a previous one often causes unpredictable problems, especially for VoiceOver users. And the other circumstance is where people get impatient and do things like closing the lid of a laptop or

Re: Something To Consider When Updating Your Mac

Indeed; it’s the upgrades and botched / half-finished installs that are the real problem, and indeed, they seem to have been particularly dreadful with Mavericks and subsequently. I don’t believe this is especially VoiceOver specific, either—just look at the reviews on the Mac App Store.

RE: Something To Consider When Updating Your Mac
