That is one of the most ridiculous and insane things I have ever heard. It's bad enough that Amazon does not make this app accessible, but, if they are indeed preventing voiceover users from reading the content, that is disgraceful to put it nicely. On Oct 9, 2012, at 6:39 PM, Adrienne Sinclair

Do you have the memory card in the reader? If not, it definitely won't show on the desktop since the finder does not show blank drives, I would think it would still show in disk utility though. Have you tried another port? If that doesn't work you might try another computer. If that doesn't wor

This is correct, if it starts playing automatically it's fine, but the flash controls and content will not read. Adobe has made it clear they have no interest in fixing this on the mac. One thing you can do in the case of youtube, go to http://youtube.com/html5 Click the option to join the html5
