Re: Transferring data to new iMax
I do the same. I believe a clean start is the best way to go. I also keep my important documents in iCloud, and once I sign into my Apple ID account, all my stuff is there. I also use Dropbox, but that is mostly how I exchange files with various groups with which I collaborate. Then, I install any applications I have previously purchased from the Mac AppStore, and do a clean install of other applications I have acquired from other sources. One thing I never do, is set up a new Mac from a Time Machine backup. I believe doing this creates more problems than it solves. And absolutely never set up a new Mac with Apple Silicon, from a Time Machine backup from an Intel Mac. Every person I have known to have done this, has rendered their new Mac unusable, and ended up returning the new Mac to Apple. - Brad - On Oct 27, 2022, at 19:09, 'Jason White' via MacVisionaries wrote: When I bought my 14-inch MacBook Pro, I started afresh.

Keyboard for Mac
I’ve got a keyboard new to me anyway that plugs in. It’s said to be a good substitute for a magic keyboard. I plugged it in and pressed vo-k to explore it. To the right of escape is F14 then F15 which also appear elsewhere. There’s an up arrow in the row and some keys to control playing media.on the left of the spacebar are the 3 standard Mac keys. On the right there are 4. I was hoping for fn but it says 8. There isn’t an f1 or f2 that I can’t find. There’s an f4 and f5 but I can’t find an f8. Is there anything I can do to adjust this? thanks.

Stage Manager
Hi, Stage Manager is one of the new features in Ventura. I tried it out but couldn’t figure out if it was useful to VO users. So far I got it activated but not to work. At least not using VO. So, has anyone tried Stage Manager in conjunction with VoiceOver? Is it of any use for us?
