Hi,
Again, I appear to need to proof-read my responses. That should read that the
"m" is a typo.

Tim, what is the m for after the command+option+shift+q? Is it an answer to a
question we cannot see if VO is not working? I am eager to see if this helps me
when VO goes down on my mini.

Oh, Ok, I will try that the next time VO stops talking to me!
Thanks again.

Hi,
cmd-shift-q still requires a response, whereas cmd-option-shift-q will log you
out right away. The difference being that if your Mac wants a confirmation,
and as a VO user, you're unable to do so, then you're hooped and have to do the
forced shutdown as you did. When I use the cmd-option-
Hi Tim,
I had already thought to log out with cmd+shift+Q.
But I still had no speech.
Thanks,

Hi,
Two things to note here. First, if you're able to take a snap-shot, then the
System has not crashed, just probably the speech synthesizer. Instead of
holding down the power button, press cmd-option-shift-q to log out of the
current user without any prompts. This will take you back to the

I'm not sure. I want to say /usr/tmp, but I might be completely wrong. The file
may no longer be there since you had to restart, but it's worth checking. Does
anyone else remember where these files get placed?

No,
But Siri was talking and pressing the volume buttons made the clicking sound. I
was also able to play music with iTunes.
so the system was not muted.

Dear Alex,
After booting my Mac, I had speech on the log on window, but not after logging
into my user account.
Pressing cmd+F5 did nothing.
I pressed the commands to take a system snapshot as you suggested. Since I had
no speech, I had to hole down the power button to shut down.
after rebooting
It probably does mean that. :) Open the VoiceOver Utility with vo-f8, then make
sure you're on the General category. VO-right until you land on the section
about portable preferences. If the button says "stop", you are using them. If
it says "start" or "set up", you are not.

I cannot use any keys that are connected with Voiceover when this happens. It
simply makes the default sound you get if there is nothing the key press can
accomplish.

Thank you for this. How do I know if I’m using portable preferences? Maybe the
fact that I have to ask this question means I am not?

If I understand your question, “is there anyway to restore VoiceOver without
rebooting the computer“, then at the risk of being obvious, you can simply turn
voiceover off and then back on again using the command F5 key combination. I do
this very thing anytime VoiceOver fails such as in your cas
That's a new one for me. My only suggestion is to try something that worked for
me: if you're using portable preferences with VoiceOver, stop using them and
see if the problem persists. If you're already not using them, all I can
suggest is to grab a system snapshot and email it to Apple Accessi
