Yep, that was the problem. I switched back to the Mac and was able to sign up for the public beta with no problems. Can’t wait to try it out.

I wouldn’t mind playing with OS 10.10. I wonder if we’ll be getting more voices. I certainly hope that we can use the Siri voices that are on the iPhone on the Mac. That would be so cool.

I am, but I am waiting on my code. Apple is emailing all non-developers a download code they will use to grab Yosemite, and mine has not come yet. Unfortunately, I don't have two displays to work with, only my poor, neglected Apex. On Jun 3, 2014, at 9:30 AM, Eugenia Firth <gigifi...@me.com> wrote: Hi there It ain't easy! I had to go in for a Genius Bar appointment. Basically, voiceover is missing telling you some stuff on the screen, plus it doesn't work every time anyway. When you think you've got the Braille display up on the screen, tell voiceover to do a search for the word focus. Then you have to press return when it's time to do the Perry. Like I said, it doesn't work every time. Just keep at it. Sent from my iPhone On Jun 3, 2014, at 8:02 AM, Kawal Gucukoglu <kawa...@me.com> wrote: Hello Eugenia. Please tell me how you got your Focus Blue working on the Mac Via Blue Tooth as I tried it sometime ago and it would not do it and so reported it to the accessibility team who were investigating it. Not tried it since. I have the Focus Blue 40 and plan to buy the Focus blue 14 next month to use with my I phone and sell my Apple Wireless Keyboard as I have two of them. Kawal.

Right now while in this message I am testing my Braille Edge under Usb because now I have the situation that my little Focus 14 sort of works in Bluetooth, doesn't work very well under USB, and now I can't have both my Braille Edge 40 and my Focus 14 on the Bluetooth list at the same time. What's weird is that is was, until I took the Braille Edge off, not on the VoiceOver table but on the System Preferences list. Now that I have the Focus 14 working well enough for me to use it under Bluetooth for what what I got it for, it looks like I am going to have to use the Braille Edge 40 with USB for a while, whether I want to or not. Luckily, it is the Braille Edge 40 is working very well writing this message using Bluetooth. So, if you do the beta thing, could you see if you can put two Braille displays on the Bluetooth list and be able to switch between them? If you can't, could somebody please test this? I may decide to do it myself, but I'blind need to check with Apple first because I still have that open case on my Focus 14.

I haven't used the Swift language yet, but I don't see how it will help avoid accessibility problems. It may offer slightly faster coding, but that is about it. I'll let you all know if my opinion changes as I get more into Swift, which won't be until Xcode6 comes out.

Seems to eliminate a lot of the cruft required to get ObjectiveC to do what they want and also eliminates a number of constructs that were authoring errors. So it sounds like they are trying to set developers up for success more easily which should be good for everybody.

I think we're going to be okay basically, but, as always, we will probably have some Accessibility miseries for a while. If I understand what was said, they wrote a new programming language which, if I understand what was going on there, they'll be able to figure out problems easier. Do I get that right?
