Good morning, all, I’ve recently figured out that all of my safari bookmarks fall into one of several categories. I’d really like to be able to put them in folders to keep my computer more organized, and make it easier to find things. Is this something I can do in ventura, and if so, how do

Hi, Lorie, Unfortunately, Wifi calling is something that you have to have a cell plan to do. I know, on Verizon, it’s just a matter of turning on the Wifi calling in the cellular settings and typing in your emergency address. I live in the middle of nowhere, so I have to use it all the time.

Hi, In my experience, this isn’t new to the newest OS. I’ve seen it off and on for the past two or three updates. Usually either shutting down, restarting, or, in the worst case, a PRAM reset tend to fix it. Hope this helps. Sarah > On Aug 9, 2020, at 4:37 PM, 'Kristeen Hughes' via

To my knowledge, there is not a Braille translation package for macs. That is why, when I asked my state agency to purchase an embosser for me, we purchased one with onboard translation. I’ll definitely be curious to know if I’m wrong though, and if a package exists of which I’m not aware.
