I am experiencing this at times as well. I am not sure why but if I command-tab away and restart VoiceOver and go back to Finder, it seems to fix the problem. Take Care John D. Panarese Director Mac for the Blind Tel, (631) 724-4479 Email, j...@macfortheblind.com Website, http://www.macfort

This problem with the unresponsive finder has been getting worse for a while now, but it is making it more difficult for me to use the machine now. I had to wait several minutes this time after I rebooted the Mac. Then it just was very slow instead of completely unresponsive. I know that some

You can use windows on an M1 Mac mini. The only way I found to do this is to download a program called UTM. You then need to get an ISO image of Windows 11, the version of Windows that seems to run on ARM processors, and install that into UTM. The setup was a little bit tricky, but definitely

You don’t have to spend much on a monitor for your Mac mini. Just anything with an HDMI 2.0 or Thunderbolt will do. Guess which one is cheaper? I bought my monitor used for $50. I used it with a 2011 Mac mini and am now using it with a Mac mini M1 2020. No problem with either machine

A Mac with Apple silicon will not run Bootcamp. There are some other options, but there may be some accessibility issues with some of these options. Apple does still sell a Mac mini with an Intel processor, and this Mac will run bootcamp. A Mac mini does not require a monitor to function
