Assuming you are talking about iTunes 12 on the Mac, Have you tried the keyboard shortcuts: cmd-1 cmd2 cmd3 cmd4 etc. And/or the radio buttons? Also column browser is still there; it's cmd-b which is a toggle, and it is also in your menus if you explore them after vo-m and go over to View. I di

Tim may be right about this. But also, I believe that to use auto-login you have to re-enable it in the security pane of System Preferences. It's in General under Security. There's a checkbox for disabling automatic login. If that is checked and you haven't unlocked to make further changes, you

This is really becoming a major problem for me. I am running Yosemite. In Mail, when I am typing, apostrophes are spoken as apostrophes. But when I do cmd-semicolon to check spelling, I find that most words with apostrophes in them have been joined to the word after them and sometimes a letter
