RE: Further to earlier mail re playing audio content on my Mac

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Andy,

On your mac if you do the VO + M  which should bring up your apple menu,
Scrole down this menu
Should be twice and you should find system preferences
 Then once this opens,
Use your tab key to move one by one through the sys pref options,

You will find internet and then an icloud,
Or vise versa

Open the icloud preference and take it from there,

Once you have signed into that feature you should also have a table that with
Vo shift and down arrow open the list / table of different features that icloud 
gives you

Go through them and see if you can disable or add / enable the ones you want / 
don’t want
Tap with the space bar enables / disables.

Hope this helps with the issues and great work sitting down over a pint or 5 
and playing around.

That’s all you need to do,
And slowly things will work out.

Wish I had a bar that close.

Simon F

Hi Tim Steve and all who have responded to this thread.

Steve got me thinking  about my particular problem, which was confirmed by Tim.

Despite getting the following message:

"Application Alert - System Dialogue -  - This Mac cannot connect to Icloud  
because of a problem with 
meikle.ai...@btinternet.com<mailto:meikle.ai...@btinternet.com>". "Open System 
Preferences of Icloud to fix this problem"

I was down in the hotel yesterday  attempting once again to go throu these 
steps that Tim recommended.

When I went into extras and wi-fi, the Kilcreggan hotel came up and I was told 
that wi-fi was indeed turned on.

So I spent the rest of the day messing around with Safari and it proved correct 
that my computer was indeed on line., and I learned a lot about surfing the net.


Tim said that the above error message can be prevented from showing up by:

"If the connection to Wi-Fi was already established, but this error message 
appeared anyway, then you'd need to enter the password in System Preferences to 
have it not continue bothering you.  This message was fairly common in El 
Capitan, especially when you didn't use your computer in a while.  There should 
be a button on this error message that will take you directly to the proper 
pane of System Preferences, which is the Internet Accounts pane.  If it does 
not straight away ask you for your iCloud password, then you may need to press 
the Sign Out button then the Sign In button.  I would suggest that this iCloud 
is likely your Apple ID, so you will need to enter the username and password 
for your Apple ID to allow the MacOS to access iCloud services.  As a matter of 
interest, although I don't necessarily recommend it, you could press the 
"Later" button in this error dialog and go on your merry way.  That is, you 
don't need to be signed into these services in order to access FaceTime or 
messages.  You can simply open those apps specifically, enter your Apple ID and 
password and they are ready to use".

I'm trying to find "system preferences" that Tim is talking about and I do have 
my username and password at hand, if asked for them, but again, I cannot seem 
to find where I'm going.

Can someone tell me how to get to System Preferences on my Macbook and where I 
should type in any details that are asked of me.

Sorry once again guys for a lengthy message.

I'm hoping to get professional  help with my Macbook from SITE Glasgow shortly, 
which would sort out all of these problems but I feel that by trying to sort 
them out myself with your help will teach me how the Apple OS works.

Very best wishes.

Andy.

Hi,

Steve is spot on.  This message is not necessarily saying that you are not 
connected to the Internet, it is simply telling you that your login credentials 
for iCloud are not valid at the moment.  It is possible that the problem has 
happened because you actually are not connected to the Internet, which would 
mean that all you need to do is press VO-m-m to access the Extras menu, 
VO-right to the WiFi menu, VO-space on it to open the menu, then VO-down to 
your WiFi network, and finally press VO-space or return to connect to that WiFi 
network.  If you've never been connected to the network in the past, then 
you'll be asked for the password if one was set.  Enter the password and press

Press VO-m to get to the Apple menu, then just use the Down Arrow to get to 
System Preferences. Press Return to open System Preferences.
You may at this point need to stop interacting as you are probably in the tool 
bar. Use VO-Right Arrow to get to Scroll Area and interact. Do VO-Right Arrow 
once, then type “ic” for iCloud. If you hear “iCloud button” press VO-Space and 
you’ll be in the right place.
Cheers,

Anne

Re: Further to earlier mail re playing audio content on my Mac

['andy' via MacVisionaries]

Hi Anne.

Thanks for your offer of help but after three days banging my head, I've 
decided to turn the Mac off and walk away for a spell.

I just seem to be making matters worse, left to my own devices.

I've recently arranged one-to-one training from a blind Apple user who is 
employed by SITE Glasgow, but he will not be able to make an appointment for a 
week or so.

He's only a young guy and fantastic with my Macbook.  He made it look so easy, 
hahaha.

I think I'll just have a break for a spell and perhaps get your help if it 
would not be any bother, later.  I'll hold onto your message.

You know Anne, this is a great list.  I've had offers of help from Newzeland, 
America, London and now France.  Howe's that!


Very best wishes.

Andy.

Perhaps I may well yet.  I go on holiday on 21 May for 1 week, so perhaps I 
can resolve this issue befor then.

Very best wishes and thanks again for your on-going support.

Very best wishes.

Andy.

help you by phone, e-mail me at:

Cheers,

Further to earlier mail re playing audio content on my Mac

['andy' via MacVisionaries]

Hi Simon, Andrew, others and Steve.

Thankyou all for offering me your help with Skype or facebook or by email, in 
respect to helping me play audio content on my Mac.


One of the big attractions for me to get a Macbook was because I could talk 
with my family in Sydney and Canada by using Facetime.

Unfortunately, I've not progressed far enough to set these facilities up.

The main reason is that I cannot connect to the internet on my Macbook.

Other devices such as my Iphone, my Wife's Dell lap-top and my Window 7 
computer are all coping with the wired or wy fy facilities of my roughter, so 
the problems I am having lay within my Macbook.

Here is what is happening.

When I boot up my Macbook and after the standard introduction, I get the 
following message:

"Application Alert - System Dialogue -  - This Mac cannot connect to Icloud  
because of a problem with meikle.ai...@btinternet.com". "Open System 
Preferences of Icloud to fix this problem"


So obviously I'm not on-line and before I can go further in my learning with 
music, I really need to be able to resolve this.

Despite several attempts at going into System Preferences, I just end up in a 
maize.

You see, I simply don't have the knowledge or skills to mess around in there.

If this makes my position a little clearer, then that's great and I'd welcome 
any advice.

I have however managed to get one-to one help from SITE Glasgow shortly but 
because I'm going to be on holiday for a week, I cannot get this support for a 
few weeks.

I was actually thinking of taking my Macbook to Spain with me on holiday and 
spend most evenings going through, Janet Ingber's wonderful book.

Perhaps I may well yet.  I go on holiday on 21 May for 1 week, so perhaps I can 
resolve this issue befor then.

Very best wishes and thanks again for your on-going support.

Very best wishes.

Andy.
