Hello Mike, I have now just done that. VoiceOver died during the migration assistant so I left it over night. CMD + F5 has brought Daniel back. However, no braille. Has USB braille support for the Brailliant displays been deprecated? How do I review VoiceOver crash logs? Yes I’ve heard of anec

Hi Donna, in order to set up Apple Music, you need to use the Alexa app on your iPhone. This is what an article I found says to do, and I think it is what I actually did. Open the Alexa app and tap the menu in the top left corner. Of course for us it’s double tap. Next, double tap settings. Then

Hi all, I just activated my free trial of Apple music. I got to the second screen of artists, and the cursor must have stopped tracking properly. When I clicked Like, it was selecting an artist further down in the list. So I exited, hoping that if I re-opened Music, it would track properly.
