The sysadminctl commands are the replacement for the dscl commands related to

The only way I was able to change the display sleep value in battery

Be careful when erasing a Big Sur volume, especially on a M1 computer. The last

Hi,
It should be APFS. MacOS 13.4 and up all use APFS. The installer should
actually make your drive APFS even if you’ve formatted it as MacOS Extended

Hi Dave,
Yes, I remember that now. You are still in Mojave. Well, a couple of things
to mention.
1. Apple will not update anything other than security patches for Mojave now.
So, contacting Accessibility will give you some possible assistance, but Apple
will not address an issue like that

Hi,
With respect to formatting the drive. It kind of depends on if it is already
formatted from the factory. If it is, it may be formatted and show up on your
Desktop, but be formatted in a format that is read only to the Mac. I suggest
that you do the following before connecting the drive

Also finding that the VO+shift+M menu does not always react, and requires
turning VO off and back on to re-engage.
This reminds me of the old focus issues with keyboard in JAWS. VO seems to lose
focus and needs a little kick in the butt to wake it up. Been happening on
Mojave all along.

Hi,
Yes, this does happen occasionally. I had a possible reason for it a few years
ago, but I can’t recall what I had come up with. In any case, 9 times out of

Hi Donna,
I appreciate your response. Thank you. So it's not my machine! The odd thing
is that sometimes Mail closes as it should, other times, it does not. Kate

this one. I think I'll write Apple Accessibility about this.
