Hi, Beside the "sync" menu there's a menu where many icons for apps are, such as skype, evernote, facebook clients etc, should you have them. For some strange reason, those menu choices aren't accessible in the standard way with Voiceover. There is no way as far as i know to get at them. You can access these items with the physical mouse or a track pad by routing the mouse (cmd+vo+f5) and then grab the physical mouse or put your finger on the track pad and gently moving left, you should then hear something like, for example "transmit menu button". Clicking there opens the menu for the app you're on and there you can do various things. Hope this clarifies things. /Krister
