I just bought the UE Boom. In the states it is around $180-$200. So far I really like it! Great sound & features. The only drawback at this time, is the Mac app to update the speaker is not accessible. Fingers crossed that is fixed. Traci On Sep 7, 2014, at 6:48 AM, matthew Dyer wrote: >

Hello, do you mean, for example, if you are focusing on a mail conversation with say 6 messages, you want to expand them into a row? I just hit VO-spacebar. This opens it up for me. Hope I'm understanding what you want to accomplish. :) Traci On Sep 19, 2014, at 8:44 AM, Ray Foret Jr wrote

Ok, I feel like a dork for asking this, but (shrugs) I don't know how to fix it. I've been listening to iTunes on my Mac lately via bluetooth speaker, and I notice my playlists never play in the order I think they will, or sometimes they loop around and play again. Where are settings that I may

Hi, do you ever use the browser Chrome? A while back now, I was having a similar issue with my bank's website in Safari. Using the bank's website via Chrome fixed the issue. HTH, Traci On Sep 23, 2014, at 4:59 AM, Andrew Lamanche wrote: > Listers, > > I've just been on the phone to my bank

2 keyboard commands I use most in Safari are option-command-F and option-command-S. I learned today that these commands are tied to Safari, not to any search engine. With Safari 7.1, I have changed my search engine to Duck Duck Go and was delighted to realize my 2 fave keyboard commands are
