Hi Ricardo! Just a guess here when you open the skype and you go to type your name and stuff! before you type anything use the tab button first and that should put you in each field! Sorry if you knew this! Colin On 26 Oct 2010, at 15:59, Ricardo Walker wrote: > Hello, > > I just downloaded sk

Hi Donna! I am only guessing but if it is a re writing disc, if you put together the content you want to burn to that disc, try changing the import setting to show cd then put that disc in and see if it would let you burn to it! Just in case you'll find import settings in general of Itunes prefs!

Hi, First, turn on the shortcut for mouse keys. This way, you'll be able to turn mouse keys on and off by pressing option 5 times. Now, go into iTunes and route the mouse to the VO cursor. Turn the mouse keys on, hold option and press numpad 5 to click. That worked for me. > From: nothingbu

NO Eric, I know about VO+shift+m, if that's what you mean. Again, I say, that's not the kind of access issue I'm talking about here. These are very special cases where menues will appear on the screen but not be visible to Voice Over unless you physically move the mouse over to that menu. I
