Hi, When Safari does the busy thing for me, I turn off VO, press cmd-tab to go to a different app, then turn VO back on, and cmd-tab my way back to Safari. Nine times out of ten, this seems to help. Later… Tim Kilburn Jamf Certified Tech Apple Teacher (with Swift Playgrounds Recognition) For

Those specs aren’t bad unless you have the low-end processor, and your system shouldn’t have had a problem. The CNET site is definitely a resource hog. - Brad - On May 24, 2020, at 10:08, Eric Oyen wrote: Well, it probably doesn’t help that I am using an older model Mac mini (2014) with 8 GB

The article makes good points. I have never heard of App Zapper, but I have heard of other apps like Clean My Mac that do a lot of the same things. Adding RAM and a new SSD is not as easy as the article makes it sound, especially for someone who is blind or vision impaired. Adding more RAM will n
