Hi, It sounds like you have an older MacBook since you mentioned the button bar. I’ll answer what I can between your questions below: > I cant seem to find where to disable the MacBook going to sleep when I close > the lid. > I looked in power and battery settings but couldn't find it.
• You won’t find it anywhere. I believe that I heard mention of a third party add-on that made that happen but that was quite a few years ago and can’t recall anything about it. Also, in my opinion, that is a very problematic thing to do. It could cause overheating which could lead to other technical issues as well. I’m sure that Apple doesn’t put it in the modifiable settings for good reason. > My other question is about the touch pad. > I have seemed to found a bar that presses down on the left and right ends. I > believe this is the mouse buttons. > above this bar is a square place but it dont feel like a glass touch pad. > so if there is no touch pad, how would someone move the mouse pointer? • That area is the touchpad or Trackpad and is used for exactly what you say. > I connected a USB mouse but didn't hear Voice Over speak as I moved the mouse > around. • That could be because of certain settings within the VoiceOver Utility. These should be in the Verbosity pane in the Announcements tab. The section says something about speaking what’s under the mouse after a delay. If that is not checked, VO won’t say what’s under the mouse when you move it. Or, if the delay is after a few seconds, then moving around the mouse too quickly will not give VO enough time to say anything. > Iam trying to get voice over to find the DropBox on the status menu. • If you’re running a MacOS prior to 10.7 Lion, I don’t believe that the DropBox menu is accessible to VO. > My last question is is there a hotkey to announce time and date? • That depends on the version of MacOS you’re running. I believe that it is built-in now under the Keyboard commander. right Option key plus t will do it. Older versions of VO required extra steps to perform this task. > Thanks, > Rob > You can leave me a voice mail or fax at > 206-426-3505 > "God is good all the time, & All the time God is good” > Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
