Re: my dad's mac

Hi Sarai, MacKeeper is bad news and is likely the cause of much of the slow down. Alex's suggestions are great, but don't use Time Machine as you'll likely just bring portions of MacKeeper back into the mix. Copy the photos and other important stuff over to an external source, do the

Hi Scott, As long as you've backed up the spinning HD, replacing it with an SSD is reasonably painless. 1. Order, or go to a store and purchase an SSD of your choice. Most SSD's through Amazon, BestBuy etc will let you know if it's Mac compatible. OWC often sells them with little tool kits

Hi, I have an old device called the Hollywood Dazzle. Analog in and Firewire out. You use iMovie to bring the VHS content in, do whatever editing you wish, then it can be exported or made into a DVD. Still have the device, but haven't used it in quite a while. The Dazzle makes iMovie think

I'd first grab Malware Bytes, which is free and not, to my knowledge, on the App Store. Go to www.malwarebytes.org to find the Mac installer for it. Run that and see what happens. I'd then either manually copy the important things, or do a Time Machine backup then manually restore once the OS

Re: Apple pulls Airport routers, possible refresh coming

Well, good to hear that the Ubiquiti gear was accessible, at any rate. I’m not exactly in love with the idea of a dedicated configuration app, but since Apple do it, I probably shouldn’t complain, even though I do because it’s just plain wrong and dammit this is why we have standards. :) Yes,

Re: VO on Mac randomly speaking text?

Yes, I have seen this, too. It doesn’t happen very often, but when it does, it’s a little disconcerting. It seems that any past thing that VoiceOver has said in that session is fair game. I don’t believe it has anything to do with mouse motion, it just suddenly happens, sometimes in place of

Re: from VHS to Mac

Hmm, if the video digitizer device were to show up as just another camera you could use plain old quicktime to record a movie from that source. It's been a long time but I think the old firewire ones did just that. You might find a used Sony DVMC-DA2 Media Converter somewhere for not a lot.

I am still using Yosemite on a Mac Mini; one annoyance that manifests far too frequently is the “Mail Busy” message. I find that I can disable VoiceOver and re-enable Voiceover and that resolves the issue quite effectively. But this is a “pain in the gluteus maxim us.” Does anybody have any

Scott, If you have office for windows, you can get window eyes free. No dollars. Also, I am not sure about Citrix and how much it might change. I remember years ago when window eyes started supporting it. That was a long time ago, and since I know nothing about Citrix and the changes that have

Re: question about remotely accessing a Citrix VDI?

Hi, It sounds like that scenario wouldn't work in my world. The Citrix server is off-site and does not have any screen reader software on it, nor do I believe that they'd consider going that direction. So far, I just use it for AD things and we've tunnelled into the Server for me to use JFW

Re: question about remotely accessing a Citrix VDI?

jJFW redirects the audio from the far end machine over the remote session back to your local machine to be spoken so you can tell what you’re doing. Basically, that’s how I understand it works. Does seem possible from some googling but doesn’t necessarily look easy. > On May 31, 2016, at
