Answer: hmmm that is very strange it works here. another way you could bring
up the voice over utility is to press command space to get spot light search
and start typing in voice and one of the top hits should be voice over utility.

answer: no.

answer: to shut down your mac press vo (that’s control option) plus m. the
apple menu should come up arrow down to shut down and press enter.

answer: These all perform different functions. depending on what you are trying
to do. Maybe someone can jump in and help me out here?

Answer: Not that I know of. Stick with it, once you get over the learning

search for mac basics. there are some good pod casts.
Any other questions please ask.
