Hi.
A short question... Does anyone of you use the JawBone Up with VoiceOver?
If so, does it work?
If no, is there any good alternatives?
Best regards David

Hi,
Has anybody noticed that Youtube is crashing Macs? Everytime I go in to
Youtube this morning, no matter what I search for, my Mac freezes and I have to
do a hard reset. I most recently found that if I spent only a minute in
Youtube just browsing, I freeze up totally and canot do anything.
Hello,
I have been able to duplicate the issue of not being able to flick left or
right to different elements on the menu screen. I am pretty certain this is
caused when you go into view options in the menu, and lower brightness. Even
lowering brightness to 90% in the app will cause this. I
I had a look at it a couple of days ago in fact. The web interface is a bit
confusing, and I wasn't able to change anything in the advanced settings
dialogue. I was able to change the audio app after some fooling around, but am
not entirely sure what single thing I did to arrange it.

Hi Jamie,
I have had a similar experience to yours. Mine is with the New York Times. What

Fascinating! Thanks for confirming the existence of the problem, if in fact
that's what we choose to call it. Like you, I plan to keep my paid
subscription even though I appreciate what Newsline has to offer.

The reason the papers are so different is probably because NFB only gets the
free content. We don't pay, so we don't get access to *everything*.

Ricardo, I think you have indeed found the problem. Can't lower brightness. I
had done that on my iPad right before having the problem of not being able to
flick to items on the menu. And I have not done it on the 4S, where the same

Anyone know how to do this? I'm looking at Big Bang theory Season 6. I see
the text that says Season Pass, but I don't see any info on how much it costs

TIA,

Hi Donna,
On my iPad, the price is announced as $44.95 I typed in "The Big Bang
Theory" into the search box, then double tapped the entry for season
6. This is the same price that shows up for season 5, along with the
individual episode prices. I don't have my Mac handy, so I can't

Yes this fixed it. That will teach me not to turn my brightness down. Thanks
very much for solving this Ricardo.

Hello All.
I have set up Dictation using the I Mac and have not used it until now. I

I see that same price. I could be wrong, but I think that that is to actually

In case anyone else is curious …
I just googled Season pass. Apparently what it does is that it downloads
episodes automatically as they're released. and you do get a discount, but
nothing to get excited about. The individual episodes are about $3, which
would be somewhere between $60 and $7
that makes sense. If you have the American voice selected, and you have a
British accent, it's thinking you're speaking American English. If you have
your dictation said to English UK, then it knows that you're speaking in a
British accent.

I'm actually quite surprised that being from Canada, Siri and Mac dictate both

Hi Donna,
The season pass is actually for buying (not renting) episodes at a
discounted rate, and is only in effect while the season's episodes are
still being broadcast. So the individual episodes are $2.99 each, and
with an expected season's worth of 24 episodes, that's about $45 vs.
$72, plus
Hi Esther,
Looks like we discovered the same thing. I googled season pass right after
posting my last message. I guess it's cool to be able to buy episodes before
they're released, but still, that's quite a price tag. :)

Donna

No problem. I guess we will need to turn down system brightness in settings.
This is much easier on an iPad since brightness can be controlled from the app
switcher though.

Hi Mary,
It looks like you need to go to the Amazon/kindle site and jump down the rabbit
hole. lol. I'm not sure what I clicked on but, I finally found a contact us

Well, I'd like to know what you found out: if you don't mind. I did notice
today that a lot of videos came in very choppy over the Iphone Youtube app
today also. I think it's something Youtube did on their end.

The dock will shrink to fit all the icons into it. There was also a feature to
zoom the icons directly under the mouse. this is called magnification and is
available to turn on in the Apple menu.

I would guess that it's more to do with the internet connection and microphone

Why don't you just turn the screen curtain on instead of lowering brightness?
Or do you still need the screen to look at?
P.S. That blows my mind a little, Ricardo, that you discovered that connection.

Hi Stacy,
Basically, it means that you buy the whole season, and you get to download the
episodes as they're released. So, if next September I buy a season pass for

Yeah, I agree, that's why I caved and paid the $45. :)
