Re: External Drive for Mac?

2022-11-09 Thread Eric Oyen 
There shouldn’t be much difference between any of the external drives, although 
some marketed specifically for apple users might have some hardware 
optimizations (unsure on this, so don’t quote me on it). Now, most externals 
work with USB and often work best with USB 3.0. There are some with the 
Thunderbolt 2.x or 3.x capability and those are definitely faster on transfer 
than any of the USB stuff.

In the end, it comes down to 3 choices: capacity, compatibility and price.

-Eric

You need to be in an editable text area (e.g., text editor, text entry field).

Selecting Next line or Previous line?

2022-11-09 Thread Fazil M. 
Hi, Group.

I have read the following in a textbook:

 

"Select text going forward by line: Shift-Down Arrow 

 

Select text going back by line: Shift-Up Arrow."

 

Shift+up arrow or Shift+down arrow are not selecting any text for me.

Am I doing something wrong or these commands aren't valid any more?

Thanks!

Hi!
I think there’s an Adblocker for safari.
Not sure if its ad blocker plus that has a safari version.
You can open the safari prefs and go to the add-ons tab and search for it there

VOiceOver fluctuating in pitch after upgrading to Ventura

2022-11-09 Thread Dolores Manzino 
Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone was experiencing VoiceOver fluctuating in pitch after 
updating to Ventura. I am and it’s really frustrating. It goes from low to 
normal, and switching voices or adjusting pitch and intonation in VoiceOver 
settings doesn’t seem to solve the problem. Right now the Fiona voice sounds 
like a man, and it’s worse with Alex. Does anyone have any idea how to solve 
this? I have an EMail into Apple Accessibility. Thank you for any assistance 
you can provide.

Have a great day.

Dolores

Hi!
It worked by also pressing fn + escape.
Thanks for your instructions which I will save for later.
