Hi all,
I'm another newby Mac user and have struggled for a couple of weeks,
sometimes losing speech, oftentimes getting stuck in tables and not
knowing quite what to do next and ... well! I thought I'd succeeded in
downloading purchases from Itunes but then couldn't even find them on
Itunes ... I have managed to get email reading nicely but that may be
considered my most useful thing to date and have answered a number of
messages but got stuck this afternoon filling in the email headers and
trying to write mail from scratch!
Anyway, I have heaps of questions and am trying the best I can to help
myself but, maybe, this Mac will beat me.
I have been working through the tutorials from Vision Australia with, at
last, some improved results. However, I have reached the conclusion
that everyone's Mac is set up differently and, unless starting from
scratch together, with the same setup and operating system, I'm not
going to find things exactly as others do. In trying to tweak my
MacBook I reach a point where something is not the same and is "dimmed
out" and just don't seem to work out what to do to solve these kind of
problems. I therefore need to get some concepts into my head to further
my understanding.
I would really like a "How To ..." step by step manual to work through.
I've looked at a couple of Mac Tips and Tricks etc but really they're
not sufficiently explained for me to be able to work through the steps.
Apart from the "Vision Australia" beginners' tutorials, is there
anything else I should read? I can access and know VO keystrokes quite
well but get lost when trying to search around for HELP on specific
system settings. I found what appeared to look like a good set of
tutorials on Lion by Noteboom but hesitated to spend money only to find
out that the video tutorials were all so visual that they wouldn't work
well for me.
If anyone has some suggestions to move me on from this startingpoint
then please, I'd be glad to have them.
Thanks!
Carol P
