I did a restart after deleting the app and it's not showing up in my apps folder any more for whatever that's worth. My Youtube Channel: "www.youtube.com/loriemccloud > On Feb 14, 2019, at 12:56 PM, 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm not sure

Hi, I'm not sure on the specifics of that one. Different Malware things have differing levels of complications with respect to removal. Some, as you suggested, just take the deletion of the app, and a restart. Others pretend to delete, then somehow automatically reappear. These ones take a

I installed it once on the advice of an Apple Care tech. I don't really feel I need it. I'll do my best to get rid of it. is there anything more to it than deleting the app? My Youtube Channel: "www.youtube.com/loriemccloud > On Feb 14, 2019, at 9:04 AM, 'Tim Kilburn'

This sounds like the Malware software is responding to focus and or mouse being on it in the Menu Extras area. If this is indeed the case, there might be a couple ways around it, or it might be possible for you to remove the Malware from the menu extras menu. You would do this by dragging the i

Hi, It sounds like Malware Bites is messing with your system. I realize the sense of security that people get from software like Malware Bites, but I find that these sorts of solutions often mess with your OS in a way that a sighted person wouldn't notice, but VO does. If you have the ability

yes. it's a very odd problem. if I press and hold vo and then press M twice vo will say "Menu extras, Menu extras" first in a normal tone or pitch and the second lower sort of like an echo of itself. if I do anything to try to move around I just get bonk bonk. so nothing shows. I tried vo f8 to

Hi, If you're not seeing Google Drive in the Menu Extras, then it's not properly logged in, and that would be the same for DropBox. Could you give more details on your problems with the menus and menu Extras? That sounds like an odd problem. Later... Tim Kilburn Apple Teacher (with Swift Pl

part of my problem is that menu extras doesn't work correctly on my Mac. it will seldom show me Google drive and sometimes not even dropbox although I see that more often. after I have been trying to get menu extras to work right 2 or 3 times I can no longer even get the Apple menu to put my com

Hi, Go up to the Extras Menus and VO-space on the Google Drive thing. If you're signed in, then sign out and Quit Google Drive from that menu item. Go back into the Applications folder and open Backup & Sync or Google Drive, whichever one you're using. I seem to recall that you're using Back

it appears that I am signed into my drive. I signed into it not long ago and that time I was able to set things the way I wanted them and get sharable links and everything. now, when I go back to that place, it shows what's in the drive on my computer but also some things I deleted a long time a

Hi, Google Docs, Sheets and Slides are all usable in both Safari and Chrome on the Mac. Notice that I said "usable", not "accessible". They work with both VO and ChromeVox but are rather finicky and you have to mess around a lot to find editable areas and such. I find them easier to use in i

Hi, First, it sounds like you're no longer signed in to your Google Drive on the Mac. That would make it so that things that were deleted were not synced with the Google Cloud. This would also probably make it so that you couldn't share files from the Finder. If you are sharing to another Go
