Re: Command-Spacebar Doesn't Bring up Siri?

Actually I can wake up Siri just fine, but when Siri responds, the voice ic cut off right when the first syllable starts to speak. It sounds like possibly the notification center or something might be interfering in some way, but I haen't figured that out yet. Thanks. Bob Hill > On Feb 12, 2

All this does is turn off the trackpad commander. Trackpad is still active. - Brad - On Feb 12, 2021, at 02:38, Nebojsa Tasic wrote:  Press and hold VO and rotate two fingers to the left. On 12.2.2021. 08:52, 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries wrote: > I have a touchpad on my Macbook Air, and

RE: this freaking touch bar is the worse gimmick I have come across

Unless I am mistaken, there are two different subjects being discussed on the same thread. The Touch Bar which is on my MacBook Pro and the Touch Pad which is also on my MacBook Pro but down in front of the keyboard. I have not had the opportunity yet to become familiar with the trackpad or touc

Re: this freaking touch bar is the worse gimmick I have come across

I've gotten used to the Touch Bar on my MacBook Pro. I think it's mostly a useless thing, but it doesn't cause me any grief. I've gotten used to dealing with it, and don't really think about it anymore. The advantages of having a higher in 13 inch MacBook Pro over the MacBook air make it a non-i

question for Kindle Users

Hi all, When I'm reading, every time I hit the end of a page, my braille display--VarioUltra--lands at the bottom of the new page, and I have to scroll back all the way to the top of the page to continue reading. It's quite annoying, and pretty much renders the Kindle app unusable in my opinion

Re: this freaking touch bar is the worse gimmick I have come across

I agree. If you also spend the time learning how to take advantage of it, it actually can be very helpful. You can map frequently used commands to it in specific apps and take advantage of double tapping on the command to activate it. I don’t understand why people are freaking out over the fea

Re: this freaking touch bar is the worse gimmick I have come across

I have to say I won't miss it when I get one of the new MBAs with function keys. I do like how you can contextualize the touch bar, but I do find it cumbersome to use. I often have to double-tap multiple times to activate a command, and I never have to press function keys multiple times. Cheers,

Spelling the Last Phrase spoken by Support Voice of VoiceOver?

Hi, Group. VoiceOver in my Macbook-Pro2017, (Big Sur) uses two voices, Samantha Compact is the main voice and Alex is the support voice. I have problem in understanding Alex. Is there a possibility that I can spell the last spoken phrase by Alex? If yes, how can I do that, please? Thanks! --

Re: Command-Spacebar Doesn't Bring up Siri?

One thing I did with Siri was change the key command to control space and I have had better luck with that one as she responds to me. > On Feb 12, 2021, at 03:33, Robert Hill wrote: > > Actually I can wake up Siri just fine, but when Siri responds, the voice ic > cut off right when the first

Just an Observation about Buying TV Shows from the iTunes Store

Hello All, I have noticed, for quite some time now, that in some instances, the television shows that are available for purchase depends upon which OS one uses to browse the offerings. In many cases, the newer versions of iOS and TV OS offer less choices. For example, and this is just off the to

Re: Just an Observation about Buying TV Shows from the iTunes Store

This is definitely not the case with iOS14 on the iPhone. I used your example of Star Trek The Next Generation. I went to More, TV, then select TV seasons, and it was there for $99. I had to go down passed all the individual seasons. Regarding the Mac however I am able to duplicate what you fo
