Ben, Have you actually found this to be reliable? Even when the window you wish to drop the item on is visible on the screen, I've found it not to work correctly this way. I always wind up having to do it the old fassion way with vo+command+shift+space, then move where I need to move, route

Hi Andrew, Well, I certainly understand your frustration. But I don't think it is an accessibility issue. I don't know what it is that caused my problem, or why it improves when I plugged my iPad mini in. But in any case, it doesn't really seem like an accessibility problem as such. Mary Sent

One technique that I've found is to simply search in the Mac app store for whatever you're looking for and then looking at reviews. Now, I saw a podcast from the chosen few at http://www.applevis.com, which contains a review of an app called ReadKit. I can't tell you whether or not it's accessi

RE: clean install of El Capatin questions

Hi Sarai. No disrespect intended for Anne, but I don't think a clean install is necessary. If you don't have an external drive to back up your stuff through time machine, you could lose everything. You should just be able to install El Capitan via upgrade. I've done this method for 5 versions of

Not at all. On the file, hit vo-shift-m to open the context menu, go to the Sharing submenu, and choose Airdrop. Many times, you can also copy/paste instead of dragging/dropping. Online tutorials often use drag/drop simply because it's easiest for sighted people to do, even though it may not be
