Hi Janina, I think you’re approaching switching to an iPhone in a very smart way. I got my first iPhone, the 3GS, right before I left to go on vacation. I had one day at home before we left to get up and running. And of course, not only was I switching to my first iPhone, but it was my

Hi, Donna: I do recall your problem after upgrading to IOS 16, but only because I had just started paying attention to IOS related messages on this list. I just recently got my first iPhone, the 3rd gen Mini SE that still has a home button. It's such a foreign land still to me that I always turn

Hi Janina, That’s funny. But I saw some of that when I upgraded to IOS 16, and later when I set up my new iPhone 14 Pro. I don’t know if you remember me posting about my new phone always starting with Samantha, despite my having selected another voice, but somehow that just sorted itself out

Hi, Donna: This is a brief follow up to my cautionary tale. I'm pleased to report that things have settled back to normal on my Mac Mini running Ventura. I've no idea why the strange behavior. I could speculate that some of the last steps of updating might occur when you launch a particular

Is anybody else having trouble with random text not showing up in edit fields? I can be typing away, go back to proofread, and find that several letters are missing. I know I typed them. I was never aware of losing focus either, the text just disappears. This did not happen before I

Hi Janina, What you describe is exactly why I often wait till summer to upgrade. It’s so frustrating to be trying to get something done, and be bogged down by Apple . I really don’t think they get that we just need things to work. They can introduce whatever new feature, but if you are

I'm rather wishing I'd waited. I'm upgraded yesterday, so have limited experience. But I had issues just getting applications list to work as expected under Finder today--right when I didn't need the headache of systems not working as expected. Then there are those wonderful notifications wanting

Hi Mickey, I teach Spanish. I don’t really use anything too unusual - Word, Mail, Safari, QuickTime and Amadeus Pro. I guess what makes me hesitant is that I was really unhappy after upgrading my phone and my watch. Basic things about using them with Voiceover were either broken, didn’t

Well, at least you can get your own language. I think if I had to pick, I rather have my language than a second one. :) I have the link to the AppleVis guide to System Settings. If I do upgrade, I’m sure I’ll be checking that out in detail. Cheers, Donna > On Oct 28, 2022, at 1:34 PM,

Hello Donna: What makes you hesitate about upgrading your Mac? what subjects do you teach and what programs do you use? That might help us figure out what would be best for you. On Fri, Oct 28, 2022 at 1:35 PM Anders Holmberg wrote: > Hi! > Well, its a good question. > For me seem to work quite

Hi! Well, its a good question. For me seem to work quite good except from that I can not get English speech. Only Swedish so far. But I haven’t have time to check things out. Maybe you should wait until the season is over. So you could take time to learn the new system settings app. Just one

Hi all, As some of you may remember, I teach, so I am often hesitant to upgrade my Mac during the academic year. In addition, I did not have good experiences with upgrades to IOS 16 or Watch 9, so I’m especially gun-shy about upgrade to Ventura? I know that everyone’s mileage may vary, but
