Oh, yes, command-option-l works now, as it used to, I believe. And no, within the group, once I interact with it, the file icon doesn't appear. I will try a VO-space on the group, though. Teresa On Jul 27, 2012, at 12:28 PM, "Christopher-Mark Gilland" wrote: > Wo! so you're saying when in Sa

I don't know about the terminal commands, but you can do it with Disc Utility, specifying one partition and a GUID partition table. Or you can download a handy utility to ask you questions and do everything for you. Lion Disc Maker: http://blog.gete.net/lion-diskmaker-us/ I used it successfully

If you have keyboard commander on, you can use right-option-v. With a trackpad, it's a double three-finger tap. In VO utility, navigate to speech and mute it. HtH, Teresa On Jul 27, 2012, at 12:45 PM, Stacey Robinson wrote: > Hi all, > Is there any way that I can read brf files on my macbook? >

I agree with you for the most part, Tim. However, after having my Mac Mini for two years without doing a clean install, VO began muting itself spontaneously, and a sys diagnose file began appearing without warning in a finder window. I decided to use a clean install to clear these things up. Bel

No, they are not the same as reminders. You may have to adjust the notes settings. Also, if they are synced to Gmail, you'll have to sign into Gmail to sync them with the computer. This goes for ICloud as well. Teresa On Jul 27, 2012, at 3:45 PM, Mark BurningHawk Baxter wrote: > I believe th

Hmmm, as far as I can tell, when you use VO-shift-m on the dock, it just lists options for manipulating the folder. If you use this keystroke in the dock, find the "open folder" option and hit enter. Otherwise, simply open the folder from the finder with command-option-l. Then find your items an

Yes, Al, I noticed this, too. Tab with spacebar is the best bet. You could also turn cursor tracking off and then use VO to check the boxes, but that seems like the long way round. I don't have an explanation for this behavior, but the workaround is quite doable, so I haven't really pursued it.
