Mac

which one do you use if you want to install windows on your mac?
which one is the most accessible?

Hi,

I'm having two issues with running Windows 8.1 using Fusion 6. I cannot get my camera and some of the other hardware to work. I have downloaded the latest Bootcamp drivers and it says the camera drivers have been successfully, installed but I still cannot get Windows to recognize my camera. Is there anyone that can help me?

Hello everyone,
this is my first post here, so I really sorry if this topic falls in the wrong place. I have a MacBook Air 11-inch early 2014, and I want to run windows long side my Mac. The question is, is it possible to run the VM on this Mac? If it possible, how do I set it up? I'm currently having problem with mapping some keys. Usually, the MacBook Air doesn't equipped with the eject key. How do I map the delete key? And insert key is also a problem for me.
Thanks everyone for any helps.

Hello all,
Can I use JAWS with VMWare or Parallels without losing a user licence each time I move to it? Or do I have to use Boot Camp to avoid losing user licences?
Thanks for you help

I started to install windows using VMware-Fusion and there was a problem with the install. I believe that I need to remove what's there and start the install over. How do I remove it?

Hello,

Hopefully this is the best place to put this question.

I am wondering how I can use JAWS on a Mac laptop. I am running VM Ware Fusion 8 and Windows 10.
I am wondering if anyone has found a workaround for the fact that the Mac does not have an insert key, other than buying an external number keypad? I have read about mapping keys; howeverI am not familiar with performing such an action.

Any Suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank You.

Hi All,

I am experiencing an issue with my brand new MacBook Pro... I use VO and want to use the dictation too... I have enables all the required options (using one of your podcasts)... I press Fn twice to start dictating MacOS does execute the instruction (i.e. opening an app) ; the problem is that it looks like VO is deactivated and I have to restart it manually each time I dictate a command !? I finish any dictation by pressing Fn once...

Hello,

On Skype for Mac, when not using headphones, the other person or people on the call can hear VoiceOver speaking. Does anyone know if there's a way of stopping this from happening?

Thanks for any help with this.

A quick question about reading text on the Mac:

Say I'm navigating a document in Pages. I know I can use Option + Up/Down to navigate by paragraph, and so on. However, when I do this, VO only reads the last bit of the paragraph that the cursor passes over (I think one line, maybe?) - so I I'm navigating past a four-line paragraph, I only hear the last line of it.

Hello please could someone kindly explain how to use the vo Cursor tracking and how to keep one Cursor in one place and use the other to eg type and read messages. Or type and adjust settings.

I have the key commands and have read the guide but I cannot get it to work.

Also I cannot get the drag and drop keys to work for me either. Is this only for apps or can it be used to move files and folders?

Please advise.

Hi.
Just wondering if this is a bug or not? Voiceover does not read characters and words in Safari when typing in address fields.

Hi all and Happy New Year!
Some time ago I found that VO + J command, which I always used to interact with email content, stopped working as usual and began to throw me into mailboxes bar instead. Trying to sort it out in Voice Over and Mail settings was no good.
Is there any way to switch it to normal back again?
Regards, Felix

Hi,

I have several questions.
They all relate to key commands and Voice Over

Hello everyone! Since I will need to put an app in the iOS Appstore in a short while, i decided to get myself a Mac Mini M1 2021 or whatever they are called. I have used OSX back in 2013, and I didn't like it then because of strange VO commands and such. From what I have gathered now, VO is laggy and there are no external TTS voices which makes it very hard to code on Mac in my opinion, then there are some Voice Over bugs and missing basic features, such as reading the date and time, ETC. I want to ask, why these bugs aren't addressed?

Since updating to Mac OS 13.1, VoiceOver no longer works at login even though I have it turned on in System Settings>Lock Screen>Accessibility. When I restart my Mac, VoiceOver announces "Authentication in progress" and then locks up. I have to turn VO off and on to use it at login.
I have a 2020 MacBook Air M1. I know of at least one other person who is experiencing this, and it has been reported to Apple Accessibility.

Hello,

Is there a way to simulate a Numpad (Number Pad) on a Macbook keyboard or Apple Magic non-Numpad bluetooth keyboard, in order to use the VO Numpad Commander without a physical Numpad? Similarly as Windows keyboards allow you )not all but some) to hit Fn key and certain keys to get to Home, +, 4, 5, 6, etc.

Thank you very much!

So i've been using VO ocr for years now, but I'm kind of running into a bit of a problem. When your on a laptop, the keyboard command's for vo ocr are... hard to do. I mean control, command shift w to scan the screen... When your on a laptop and you've only got one control key, doing this is tough, especially when you have to scan the screen a bunch of times, and the position of crossing your hands is uncomfortable at best. Is it possible to change th,e hot key to scan the screen with VO ocr?

Hi,

After a little over 2 minutes of inactivity, VO reads the login screen and I have to hit any key or swipe the trackpad to go back to whatever application I'm in. Screen saver is turned off, but turning it on has no impact on this. The display is set not to adjust brightness automatically. I've disabled everything I can find in system preferences. Anybody know a way to keep this from happening? It's annoying, since it breaks the flow of (slow) writing.
