Hi there everyone. Hopefully someone will be able to answer my questions. On the Mac when I tried it at the Apple Store I noticed that Voiceover uses several terms that I didn't understand when it detects items on the Mac since they're not used on the Phone like Table. On the phone there are just Buttons that you have to click on, how does this work on the Mac? I mean what are the Icons called on the Mac which Voiceover detects? What types of Icons are there on the screen? I mean on a Computer there are way more Windows and Icons that you have to adjust so what are they called on the Mac? How are they different from each other and what are they used for? How does Voiceover react with them? What happens when an Image is detected on the Mac? Can you please define the terms used on a Mac by Voiceover in daily use? How do you have your apps arranged on a Mac I meaean in folders or how? In addition in what ways can you arrange the apps on your screen? Do you know if the Cursor on the Mac locates around the screen horizontally or vertically? For example are the apps placed on a straight line so that when the Cursor go to the left you go back to an Icon and when it goes to the right it goes to the next Icon? Or is it the opposite of going up and down on a Vertical line for Icons? What is the Tab key used for other than indenting paragraphs in regards to move around the screen? Lastly how is the iPhone Home Screen different from the Ma's? You may think that I'm going a bit ahead then myself but what my teachers have recommended is to get as much information as possible to understand and get the introduction of the Mac.

A page to try
Hello, Instead of trying to answer everything here, I recommend you have a look at the resources on our "getting started with your first Mac" page. We have collected the best podcasts and guides related to starting out on the Mac there. I think they will answer your questions in far more detail than could be done in one forum comment. Of course, if specific questions arise as you go through these resources, please feel free to ask here.
I also suggest you limit the number of things being asked in a given topic, just to better your chances of getting good answers. Someone can give a lot of information about one or two similar topics, but it's harder to get into the necessary details with so much to address at once.

I often use vo + h h for commands help. There are a lot of them. I know the Mac seems overwhelming at first. You'll catch on.
