Hey everyone, wondering if anyone else can reproduce this, or if it's just happening on my system. I did a clean install of lion, when you first boot up, your mouse pointer is on the apple menu in the menu bar. I needed to access an application in the status menus that I can't get to with the ke

Hey everyone, I noticed that in Lion, in my home folder there is no longer a library folder, does anyone know where this has disappeared to? Or is this now a hiden folder? If so, I can configure the finder to show hiden files and folders, but this can get a bit cluttered. -- You received this

I just checked, the voics are definitely there. You may not want to just delete them though, if the system still thinks they are there, it may cause problems. I think if you uncheck the option for each voice, it may uninstall them, not sure on that though. The premium voices definitely use a lar

One interesting thing I noticed, all of the compact voices are there, but I guess only the ones that you check will be available, the quality difference is huge, honesty I see no reason to use the compact voices, the quality is just too poor. On Aug 2, 2011, at 10:24 AM, Ricardo Walker wrote: >

I would do a clean install, though others have had good luck with the upgrade, I just prefer to start fresh with a new operating system. Whether you choose the upgradeor clean install, it's totally accessible through the whole process, that's something windows can't even come close to. On Aug 2,

Here's how to get around the issue, click the restore tab, then in the list of disks, control click the flash drive and choose set as destination. You need to move the mouse to the item, and control click it, doing VO shift m won't work, which is probably a bug in disk utility. Once that's done,

There's usually no reason to move around with just the mouse cursor, the closest thing voiceover offers to that is the way you have it set, to have the mouse follow the voiceover cursor. Usually there is no advantage to this, since the voiceover cursor is able to activate items. The one case I'v

One thing that could be happening here, sometimes links are labeled with text and also an alt or title tag, if this is the case, voiceover will read both, especially if you have the option to read help tags enabled. This can be a good thing, because on some sites, such as wikipedia, the text of

At this time, flash is not accessible on the mac, and Adobe seems to have no interest in fixing this. If possible, use html 5 instead of flash, it's a newer standard and is accessible. Hopefully this will totally replace flash eventually. On Aug 8, 2011, at 6:43 AM, Christopher Wright wrote: >
