Voiceover jumps around

Since the upgrade to Monterey, Voiceover is continually losing focus and going someplace else without any input from me. Sometimes it will go into another open app. Sometimes it will go from the email messages list into the message. It is never focused properly in the Music App. Is this a know i

Hey Siri and wake screen

2021-11-22 Thread Phil Halton
don’t know when this happened, but I noticed now that whenever I say hey Siri when the phone is locked my request of Siri is lost and all I get is the wake screen. Then I have to repeat myself once a wake screen is on so I can actually get my response from Siri. I don’t remember this being th

Hello, I am running Monterey 12.0.1 on my 2018 Intel iMac using a Logitech K780 bluetooth keyboard with VO set up to speak during iMac boot to enter my login password. After a reboot the key to the left of the space bar acts like the command key and the key to the left of that acts like the Opti

Hi Paul, I cannot assist you with the k780. However, I use the k860 with Monterey. Since upgrading, the keys do not consistently perform the expected actions. For example, when I type Cmd-Q in the Mail program, sometimes I am taken to another message rather than exiting the mail app as should be

Tim, yeah. I’m in touch with the guy who built my Windows DAW. He might know something. I suppose it doesn’t really matter since I CAN access the Windows machine from the Mac. So, as long as I have access in one direction and can push and pull, as it were, I should be fine. It’s just frust

My user folder is kevinlgibbs, all lower case, no spaces. That still doesn’t solve the problem of my seemingly locked myself out when typing in the smb creds from Run in the Windows machine. No idea how to solve that one. Again, since I can push and pull I guess it doesn’t really matter. It

Tim, Looks like your recipe worked. It didn’t exactly restart the lockout. I was still told I needed a new app to do SMB. What happened was, when I restarted the Mac and tried to simply type in the address from Windows without SMB, I got the window asking for my creds. This time, I typed in
