Re: Copying Voice Over preferences

2009-09-02 Thread Chris Blouch
I think the intent was to store your user preferences on a thumb drive and then if you plug that thumb drive into another computer voiceover would adopt your settings. When you quit and start voiceover it reverts back to the way it was before. CB James & Nash wrote: > Hi folks, > > I remember

Can't access trackpad commander in voice utility on my mac book

Hi all, I've had my mac book for about a month now, and upgraded to snow leopard last Friday. I notice there's a trackpad commander which can be turned on in either the voice over utility, or with the clockwise two-finger approach on the track pad while holding the vo keys. However, I've

Are we certain that this is the case? if so, then that's absolutely outrageous. I mean even a warning "we've down graded Adobe Flash because it's not yet compatible with Snow Leopard" would have been nice. Fortunately, I've not upgraded yet. Silently downgrading is so wrong. Take care James --
