Safari Busy

Hello, I am wondering which browser all of you use? I often experience Safari saying busy, busy, busy… and it is very frustrating… I have to say that my browsing experience is far from delightful. Does anyone else face these experiences? If so, which browser do you use? thanks. -- The

Keychain issues

Can someone explain to me how to retrieve a password stored in Keychain? I don’t recall ever setting a master Keychain password, which it asks for on my Mac when trying to retrieve one. This is a web site log in that I had automatically chosen by Safari rather than trying to remember one. Now I

Re: brf files

Unfortunately, the BARD app won't read BRF files via VoiceOver only with a braille display, and then, I think, only BARD BRF files. A few years ago, there was an app in the app store that would read BRF files. I don't remember what it was called, and I don't think it is there any more. I

Re: Playing an audio file at a slower pace

Hello there. Why don’ t you just use vlc media player for that purpose? Start playing the file and then use alt + minus to decrease the speed and alt + equals to go back to normal or to make it faster if you want. Hope that helps. Nektarios. > On 21 Jun 2017, at 00:06, Andrew Lamanche

Hi, For me, the ability to adjust audio speed is broken in the June 19th update to VoiceDream Reader. If I start an audio file playing and attempt to change the speed, the app crashes. I reported this to the developer but am wondering whether others can reproduce this? If not, I will delete an

Re: new features of iPhone next gen

iPhones have I believe always had an infrared detector near the top of the phone. This is what is used to switch in / out of speaker phone mode when VoiceOver is on. So that could help with the not a photo issue. Just put the phone an inch from your eye and it will un lock... lots of smiles. On

Re: Removing an App

Jonathan, Your method works, I used to do it that way as well before I figured this one out. If you think about it, it's logical. There's quite a number of Contextual menu items available, VO just doesn't always properly access them all. Haven't quite figured out why this is so, but it is.

Tim, That is one I have never seen described before, thanks! I have resorted to opening the Library folder in either home, root or /System and then looking at the Preference Pane Folder within and removing from there, which is probably not nearly as elegant. On Mon, Jun 19, 2017 at 6:48 PM

Yes, Touch ID is nice for unlocking and giving administrator permission. But I wish it went further. I want it to authorize auto-fill on websites, to keep my passwords more secure. I want it to fill in Apple ID sign-in requests across the system. I want to use a fingerprint before selected apps

Re: new features of iPhone next gen

Hi, it all depends on the system. In your phone you’re probably right. If not a picture then a mask could certainly trick the design and with 3D printers you could make one easily. Higher end installations though don’t have this problem. They bounce a laser or some other measuring device to

Re: MacBook pro with touch bar.

See I totally disagree. To me, the Mid 2015 keyboards were much more clearly defined, the keys had better throw and the typing experience was better. I’m not a fan of the light bar but for this discussion that doesn’t matter since we’re only talking keys here. The flatness of the new

I find it to be no louder or quieter than previous models with how I type. However, the keys are so easy to press that I can make it quieter than usual if I concentrate on not whacking keys how I normally do. Basically, it's a laptop, and most laptop keyboards make some kind of sound,

Re: MacBook pro with touch bar.

You really do need to use it for a day or three. The original keyboards with the butterfly switches, found on the 2015 Retina MacBooks, were terrible. The new ones, found on the updated Retina MacBooks and the newer Pros, have a little more separation between the keys. I find it just enough to
