Hi there. ! A most peculiar problem. After restoring my Mac, I find that once I’ve signed in to my iCloud just fine and selected all the services I want, (including safari and contacts), everything seems to be synching except for my contacts. Any idea why? Sent from my Mac, The Only compute

Why not just help on list so that the help could be more useful for other people? That’s what we commonly do here. In this way, the help we give to others can be seen by everyone. After all, someone else may also need the help but just has not asked for it. ! Sent from my Mac, The Only com

No. You have to call Netflix and ask them to turn it on for you. Sometimes they know what you want and other times it's a bother to get somebody to understand what you need. That's why I don't consider this an acceptible solution and also why I will NOT touch the fourth gen Apple TV. ! Sen

I just hit space by itself and that usually does the trick. Remember, that site was most likely set up with blind windows usewrs in mind. There is a pass through for voice over, but, if you use just the space key by itself, that makes it a moot point. Good advice though to just navigate it wi
