Re: Mac OS Start up Chimes

I am going to chime in. (smiles) Yes, finances permitting, one has options. But Emotions take over rather than reason. What about advocacy? Remember the iPhone headphone jack? The reaction to that news was unreasonable. The startup chime is different, it can be restored. Start a writ

RE: Mac OS Start up Chimes

I want to make it clear that in no way am I suggesting that anyone switch to or from Android. I was merely stating that I believe that one should always keep as many options open as possible. When it comes to Smartphones, for me, an extremely viable option is Android or rather, the Samsung f

RE: Mac OS Start up Chimes

Hello Karen, Yes, the startup and shutdown vibratory feedback is built into all Android phones. The feedback is a function of Android. This thread is kind of going beyond its original scope but I will add here that I have owned several different brands of Android devices since 2010 and my fav

Re: Mac OS Start up Chimes

Could be, but it also may be that things just haven't changed that much. I think Devon's comments are probably on target. I don't think Talk Back is as much of a priority for Google, and I think the blind user group is pretty fragmented. At least it was when last I was paying attention. Cheer

RE: Mac OS Start up Chimes

Simon is totally correct. The start up sound is a major major part of Apple's place in popular culture. Steve Jobs would never have had it removed for this reason. Remember the very first Apple super bowl commercial used "start me up," by the Rolling Stones, calling attention to what happens

RE: Mac OS Start up Chimes

Hi Mark, Tim, and others. Finally decided to read some of this thread. Apple has done what? Besides the start up sound being an accessibility feature, it is part of Apple's popular culture presence. I cannot tell you how often in a production studio, music and radio where engineers have sung wi

Re: Mac OS Start up Chimes

Hi Simon, In those cases, the user wasn't specifically muting the startup chime. What they were doing was muting or decreasing the system volume which inadvertently affected the chime for you. The level of the system volume is stored in the nvRAM, or pRAM in oder models, along with some other

Re: Mac OS Start up Chimes

Hi Shawn, That's probably only a temporary solution and not necessarily practical. The silent startup is slowly migrating across Mac models. The iMac no longer has the startup chime as well as the MacBook Pro. If a hardware upgrade is in the works for the MBA at all, it's entirely possible t

You can also change the number of header or wrote columns right through the menus in the table menus you can select column/row headers one through five. You don’t need to go into the format area. Sent from my IPhone > On Sep 2, 2018, at 6:38 AM, 'Andrew Lamanche' via MacVisionaries > wrote:

I’m probably straying into the off topic area here but you are right, Tim, and the same differences you’ve discovered about Android tablets in my limited experience apply to the phones. That’s why some Android users recommend sticking with the stock Android phones, i.e. hardware which does not

Re: Mac OS Start up Chimes

I agree with your caution, Donna. I’ve been tentatively trying out Android for a couple of years now but never have I thought yet I’d move entirely to Android because I find the gestures in TalkBack much less responsive, and tasks take longer to accomplish too. Most of all, I don’t feel as sur

Re: Mac OS Start up Chimes

Yes, you are right: the gestures on Android phones are harder to implement. For this reason iPhone is still my primary phone and VoiceOver is superior to TalkBack. But Google is catching up I feel so it’s good to have one foot in their camp too. Andrew > On Sep 2, 2018, at 1:13 AM, Anders Hol

Hi Ramy, To add a column after the column your focus is in, press option key+right arrow. A column will immediately be added. You can do this as many times as you wish. If you ever make a mistake, remember you can press command+z to undo your previous actions provided you’ve not pressed the
