Matthew: Thanks so much for your continued suggestions. Strangely enough, when using VoiceOver and VoiceOver Utility, no braille display was detected, even though the Brailliant was in range. With VoiceOver off, and by going into VoiceOver Utility, under Universal Access, the Brailliant showed up. I disconnected it to try and replicate the situation, and now the Brailliant is pairing and connecting. I did not have to add it in VoiceOver Utility. As this display did not work on my much older MacBook, I'm going to try and replicate my procedure there. I won't bore you all with the results. I just thought it might help someone to learn from my adventures.
Much thanks to Matthew. PJ On Nov 20, 2011, at 1:23 PM, Peg Jolene wrote: > I've restore the defaults several times. The display is not working on USB > or Bluetooth.
