Hi List, Ok so Saturday night I reimaged my Mac mini with Yosemite, Now when I start it up I get the message that it's trying to find Bluetooth devices like touch pad or mouse. However when I get rid of this message I get no speech automatically from Voiceover so I turn it off and then on u

Calculator on the Mac.

Hello. Last night I ventured to use Calculator on my I Mac as I had always used the Calculator on my I phone. What ever I did, I could not find the subtract, multiply but could find the Plus. I even put the Keyboard help on with VO K as I thought I’d get to know where the multiply was. So if

Two ways. First, you don't need the calculator for simple things: open Spotlight with cmd-space, and type a calculation. 2-4 will yield -2, and 4^4 (4 to the fourth power) will yield 256. You can use parentheses, plus/minus/multiply/divide, powers, and negative numbers all from Spotlight. The a

Hi, In calculater: keyboard + is for adition. Keyboard - is for subtraction. Keyboard * is for multiplication. Keyboard / is for division. Keyboard = is for calculating the line. keyboard escape is for clear. So, you want to stay on top of the line that shows your calculation and just keep calcu

First of all, you're making this way harder than it has to be. Open up Calculator. Now, hit vo+M to go to your menu bar, and go to the speech menu. In here, check both options. The first is speak button pressed, and the second is speak result. Now, simply type the equasion on your keyboard.

That's odd. I don't have either option checked, and VO announces the result when I press enter. I never move from the input window where I land when the app first opens--maybe that's why? Either way, I nearly always use Spotlight, which is faster to get to and doesn't need a separate app. It's n

The only, and I do mean only, downside to the Otterbox Defender case is that with the case on, it may be difficult if not impossible to plug it into some docks to recharge. Yes, the little door flaps can, and eventually do, come off but that defeats some of the protection. I have dropped mine
