Hi all.
Is there some way to keep synced the iTunes library on my MBP13 and on my

Thanks.

Hello,
I thinks since iOS 7.1.1 on my iphone 5, I have some strange problems.

a swipe right, I go e.g. from starting hours to ending date.
And sometimes, When I do a swipe back , I see the fie
Is there any way to work around this? What if the stuff in triple brackets is
necessary and you want VO to speak it? If these are related strictly to speech,
what about Braille displays? does that “unspoken text” get shown on the display
or is it not shown there either?
On May 2, 2014, at 10:45
It seems to relate to speech only. It shows up fine on Braille displays.

I have seen the calendar problem. I'm not really sure of a workaround. My
suggestion is that these problems be reported to Apple Accessability.if you
tell them, maybe they could offer a workaround.

If you add a space anywhere in the opening three brackets, that seems to fix
the problem.

To find open windows that cmd-tab won't reach, press vo-f1 twice (that is, hold

Hi,
HomeSharing is found under the File menu. When you turn on HomeSharing, you
must use the same AppleID on both machines and they must also both be on the
same network subnet to be visible to each other. There are settings within the

appear. It was great.

You want to use VMware Fusion, no question. Parallels is not
accessible, and the company seems to have no interest in fixing this.

True. As I said, though, Virtual Box does have a command line interface. If
you're comfortable in Terminal, you can administer things from there. It's not
as convenient or easy at all, but I hear it is doable. I only mention this
because it is free, whereas Fusion is $40 or $60, I don't remember

It is how you can move around webpages by letters (h for headings, l for links,
etc). Open the VO Utility with vo-f8, adding the function key if necessary, and
go down to Commanders (or hit cmd-8). Select the Quick Nav tab, find the

The Aftershokz do this. It says when it pairs, and when it is in pairing mode.
Also, if you wait a bit after pausing music or a phone call, it will say the
battery status when you hit a volume button.

Or simply interact when you want to type. The likelihood is you'll want to tab

No, there is no quick way to turn it on or off. Despite that, it is worth
