Hi, Two things here. First, having the computer start up to a specific user is not particularly a safe or secure way to leave your computer, as anyone who sits at your computer has free and easy access to everything on your machine. One may say that you are the only one who uses this computer

Hi Juan I wasn't going to write about this because I couldn't find an easy answer to this, and I think there is one. I have a blind friend who just bought a MacBook Pro under Mavericks, gotten about three weeks ago. We had the same thing happen with hers that you are describing when we restarte

how does one get VO tok begin talking at the login screen? I have to keep turning it on at the screen. If Iknow how to make it startup, I can confirm/deny what you are reporting. > On Oct 21, 2014, at 3:16 PM, matthew Dyer wrote: > > Hi, > > I have been using the new os for several days and h

Hi, I have been using the new os for several days and have no problems here. I have one question though and it has been on my mind for a while. When I boot up and come to the login screen and vo comes up it fades in and so it sounds kind of strange as if core audio has not fully loaded and so

Mine is a Mac Book Pro early 2011, and it hasn't done that fan thing since Yosemite finished its installation. However, I had my memory upgraded to 8 gigabytes. Do you have 8 or 4? When I got my computer in July, 2011, it had 4 gigabytes. Gigi > On Oct 21, 2014, at 11:34 AM, Anders Holmberg

Yeah and I had a bad moment when it asked me if I wanted unencrypt and restart. I knew I wanted to unencrypt and restart, so I said yes. I thought it was to unencrypt first, but no. Then I thought I would get unlucky and get that screen again demanding my password. That's what got me in trouble

Hi! SO far so good with Yosemite on my mac. However its still spinning up the fan while running safari and another aplication at the same time. This is not a big deal but i guess its because my mac is a mid 2011. Note that i've reset the smc. No go with that though. /A > 21 okt 2014 kl. 16:31 skre

Yeah, it's hard to know all the ins and outs of that I think. I hadn't realized until I had trouble entering my password or even doing cmd-f5 to get the beeps at login that I realized the keyboard could be a problem. Worked fine with one keyboard and not with another. I wonder if there's a "take

If I had a choice for unencrypting, I never found it. My computer was asleep when the battery went down, or at least it didn't have enough power when I opened it back up again. I consider myself fairly computer literate, but I guess at some point I did the wrong thing somewhere and got myself in

For one thing, not all keyboards appear to be supported by file vault. If you get stuck, that'seven a choice you will be given. I know hindsight is always 20/20 but if you had rebooted your computer when the password wasn'taccepted, if that is what happened, one of the choices would have been to

Hi guys I like Yosemite so far. My Finder is behaving better, etc. However, I had to call that 877 number again, no choice. It seems that FileVault got me in trouble when my battery went dead because yours truly let it go down too far. Then I had trouble, can't remember all the steps, getting Vo

Okay. For the most part, I reckon I can get used to Yosemite fairly well. I tend to like the way that Mail operates now in the standard view. I love that messages are now tagged as read or not as the first thing one here's while navigating through the table. Big plus that. The sluggishness,
