I don't know if you can get it to switch languages on the fly, but you could at least create an appropriate activity. 1. Go into VoiceOver utility with Vo-f8. 2. Go down to activities, then go over to the add button and hit it. Type in a name, Spanish for example. 3. Now you'll see your new

After seeing your message, I'm ready to cave and ask my question. What is the best way to revert to Snow Leopard. I used CCC to backup my drive right before I bought Lion, and I know that drive works perfectly. My main concern is getting rid of Lion's recovery partician if I revert. Would I boot

I think definitely part of the problem is that, with a new OS, we do have to learn to do things in a different way, but I also wonder if we can isolate these problems to specific system configurations. I have an iMac with 4 GB RAM, 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and I am not having the lag issues

I have to fully agree with Tim. A great deal of what I have read has been simply a result of changes to how people are used to doing things and not being familiar with those changes. Yes, some things work differently than they did in SL, but this does not equate to a bug in the least. I

Hey Chris. The only thing that concerns me, is how can I get back up to ITunes 10.3, without going all the way to 10.4 in software update should I choose to downgrade back to SL. I don't think I will, but, just in case. I do have a dmg of 10.3, but when I tried installing it over top of 10.4,

Hey all. I've noticed that in Lion, Move Addict won't stay open. What I was trying to do was cut and paste a few songs I downloaded from Youtube onto my music folder on my USB drive. But for some reason Finder won't let me select multiple files so I've been having to reopen Move Addict

Hi Shawn, Do you really need Move Addict? Lion now natively supports moving files with cmd-option-v, which has always worked for me even with multiple selections. I don't consider Move Addict necessary any more and have removed it. Best, Zack. On Jul 24, 2011, at 12:38 PM, Shawn Krasniuk

OK, cause I was always under the impression this only worked if it was visually on the screen. Maybe that was only in Tiger. I'll admit I've not used vo+F sense either Tiger or Leopard. I think Leopard actually. I don't think Tiger had it. Anyway, you learn something every day, huh. Chris.
