VoiceOver Verbosity Problems

I’m running the latest release of MacOS Sierra, and I’m running into a bit of a problem with the default verbosity settings. For what ever reason, VoiceOver seems to be stuck in the high-verbosity setting. I’ve tried changing it to low, but VO keeps reading and chattering away in the high

Re: In Safari how do I get a video to stop playing

Thanks so much. I thought that in Safari they had added a feature to easily control video playback but I can never find. Also, thanks so much for the letter K hint as I wasn’t aware of this shortcut. I really appreciate that and it will help tons on youtube. Christina -- The following

Re: In Safari how do I get a video to stop playing

I do not believe that there is a generic key or method which will stop all web videos playing. It depends on what plug in or web element Safari is using to play the video. If it is in Youtube, and if you have quick nav turned off, then K should work providing that window is in focus. If

In Safari how do I get a video to stop playing

Hi all, I thought there was a quick way to stop a video that starts playing. Sometimes it’s in another safari window and I can’t even find it. Sometimes, I can’t figure out how to turn a video off and the only way seems to be to close the window or tab completely. Thanks, Christina -- The

Hi, In some Dock items, the Remove option is directly within the Contextual menu, but in many, there will be an item named Options, go right to access its sub-menu then Remove from Dock or Keep in Dock will be there. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Oct 9, 2016, at 12:12,

Re: removing items from the dock

I’m using Sierra, but this shouldn’t make any difference. 1. Focus on the app you wish to remove. 2. Press vo-shift-m to open the contextual menu. 3. An option to remove should be in there. > On 9 Oct 2016, at 09:45, Simon Fogarty wrote: > > HI List, > > Could

Chris, cmd-l brings focus to the currently playing song. So, if you had music playing, decided to go off to the iTunes Store and search out some Movies etc, or anything else within iTunes, you can press cmd-l and you'll be taken right back to the Music table, or playlist that your song is

You can also use Siri to accomplish this that is of course if you are using Sierra. Simply tell Siri to invert colors on, or invert colors off. This also works on iOS. Sent from my IPhone > On Oct 9, 2016, at 9:58 AM, E.T. wrote: > > Invert/revert screen colors: >
