RE: updating brilliant firmware on the Mac

Hi, No! You need to connect the Brailliant to the USB port of a PC in order to update the firmware. Unfortunately, you can’t do it from the Mac because the file that you need to begin the process has only been written for the PC. Myrna From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com

Hi Gena and all, I have transferred many files to my Stream, many times, using an HC SD card with my Macbook Air. My Air is the 11 inch model and therefore, it doesn't have a built-in card reader. So, I insert an HC SD card into an SD card reader and then insert the reader into one of the

Hi, Thanks to all of you who gave us feedback after visiting an Apple store I have one question. Although you could not hear voiceover because the watches were set to be demos, was there any opportunity to hear anything from the watch's speaker? Knowing Apple products, the speaker is

Hi, WhisperSync refers to the Audible version of the book. So, if you purchase a Kindle eBook, and then you choose to purchase what they are calling “WhisperSync,” you would be purchasing the Audible version of the book. What you then have is an audio book, read by a human narrator, in the

Unfortunately, you can't authorize the Stream for Audible using a Mac. The only way to authorize so that you can play Audible books on it is to find a PC, install Audible Manager on it, and then during the installation, choose the Humanware player as your device. After the installation, you need
