Hello. My name is Jessica (or Jess). I recently got a MacBook Air, which is my
first Mac. For quite a while I relied on just my iPhone or my braille notetaker
to do things, but I decided it would be good to have a Mac as well. I'm looking

Hi. I want to download my music to my Mac, and have already started. I have a
huge library, though, so going into each album, activating the Download button,
going back to the list of albums and repeating the process with the next one is
very tedious. Is there a faster way to do this?

I know there are people who have had good luck with Orbit displays, but I don't
recommend them. I beta tested several of the original Orbit Reader 20s for my
regional braille and talking library, and all had dot issues within a few
months if not weeks. Sometime after the Orbit Reader 20 Plus was
like The
brailliant.

I'm very happy with iOS 17.2; however, when I updated my Apple Watch to 10.2,
the VoiceOver voice reverted to Samantha, and I cannot change it back to Zoey

the problem still hasn't been resolved. I know some people like

This is true, unless you have enabled the new Stolen Device Protection feature.
When Stolen Device Protection is enabled, then passcode bypass is disabled, and

I'm not sure about heart attacks or stroke, but it will notify you if your
