Well, I learned a tip! Apparently I had filters key on, and all I had to do was hold down the right shift key for about 8 seconds, then listen for a bleep. It works now! Thank you for your input, Sharon H. > On May 6, 2016, at 8:28 PM, Simon Fogarty wrote: > > If you have the machine setu

Choppy voiceover with Apple TV

2016-05-07 Thread Mary Otten
I have a new Apple TV four. When Apple TV is connected via HDMI to our TV set and the audio goes to the TV speakers, which are awful, there is no problem with voiceover. When the sound bar that we have is connected to the TV via digital optical cable, and there is audio coming through it on a mo

I have the same problem with my sound system. My guess is it has something to do with power saving technology that doesn't activate the speakers unless sound is being produced. The short bursts produced by Voiceover aren't enough to keep the system alive. I would love better suggestions if p

LOL. Haven't heard a thing except to say that it is still a problem. The person who extolled the absolute greatness of 1Password on this list knows who he is but I won't identify him. I'm really completely sick of it at this point and will not waste anymore time trying to communicate with any de

Thanks, Larry. The only Bluetooth headset I have is an old Plantronics that I use if I'm out somewhere and want to read something on my iPhone. In other words, it's just an old earpiece with the microphone, not a real headset. What headset do you have? Mary Sent from my iPhone > On May 7, 201

Probably is not germane to the aforementioned issue. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. That said, 1Password works reasonably well and any quirks or bugs can be worked around. Its not a disaster. Or else I do not know what the word means. From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali...@iclou

I suspect you have this right. I have a Mac Mini hooked to a surround sound receiver via the digital optical out and it always takes a moment for the receiver to figure out what kind of signal is being sent before it wakes up and starts putting sound out the speakers. Maybe newer decoders are f

No, it isn’t fixed, but for all that, I’m still using it. It’s annoying that you have to paste your secrets in from the clipboard, but it can be done and does work, and really, 1Password is most useful from iOS anyway. Just don’t generate any passwords and you’ll be all right. -- The followi
