True, but, allow me to point out the fact that this shift in Voice Over volume should NOT be happening. Audio ducking does not (when properly implemented) have any effect on the volume of Voice over: but rather, the other audio such as music or any other audio passing through other core audio

Okay, Here's the deal. I found a disk which has some mp3 files on it that I want very much to change from mp3 to m4a. Problem is that, for some reason, I'm being denied permition to access these files. No matter what I do in the file info window for either all the files or each seperately, I

I'm backing Chris entirely. 1. Firefox on the Mac is still not accessible; disreputable claims to the contrary not withstanding. 2. Webvisum is dead for both Mac and windows versions of Firefox. Not even windows users can use it now. For captchas, Rumola: www.skipinput.com is where you ca

I would advise having nothing to do with this. You are overlooking an obvious benefit; and it's not just more money for Apple: rather it's this. The plain fact is that it's better to lose the headphone jack because you can get much better audio out of the lightning connecter than you can out
