Hi All,
I recall during the discussion of cooking apps that some of you were
interested in Mac Gourmet. I just noticed it is on sale at the Mac App
store for $9.99, reduced from it's usual list price of $24.99. The

No more than I am, I'm sure. When something gets stuck on a computer, the
common knowledge is to shut it down, and restart. Exactly what I was
trying to do, every time VoiceOver would get stuck and every command I
tried would just make it beep and do nothing.

Hi April,
As others have mentioned, I believe that you're approaching this from a more
difficult prospective than necessary. When you turn off VoiceOver (VO) before
starting Safari, you're causing VO to behave different than most people on this

What do you mean it beeps. I leave my Mac on with Voiceover running all the
time, and it never beeps. The only sound I can think of that you might be

The reason for turning VoiceOver off is to clear it, so when I open it back

April,
First, you are needlessly making far too much work for yourself all for
nothing. Why do you insist you must turn Voice OVer off every time you get out
of Safari. This is quite frankly, unnecessary. Also, the procedure you are
using to try to open bookmarks is completely incorrect.

I opened Safari.
I turned VoiceOver on.
After a dozen tries, I managed to get it onto the Bookmarks.
Somehow, as I was transferring my notes to a Pages document, it crashed,
and a low, low, grumbling male voice started speaking.
I turned off VoiceOver, closed Safari, and tried again.

Be sure that your accessnote has been linked to dropbox.
You can find the folder in dropbox apps and afb_accessnote. Upload your files
and press sync in the accessnote app, and it should work.
