Hi Chris
Many thanks, I have now managed to shut down and restart my Mac using the keystrokes you kindly suggested without turning the power off. I wonder if you or someone on the list could answer Another question? Although the trackpad commander is turned off, when I touch the pad with one finger VO announces what is beneath my finger-is this correct or should I turn something else off? best wishes Henry -----Original Message----- From: mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net [mailto:mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net] On Behalf Of Christopher-Mark Gilland Sent: 20 November 2013 21:11 To: 'OS X & iOS Accessibility' Subject: RE: please can someone advise? Henry, eject is the key right to the right of the F12 key. So you have the escape key, then F1 through F12, then finally on the top top right most corner immediately to the right of the F12 key just directly above the delete/backspace key is the eject key.

Hi Andy and Chris I have tried pressing command and the f5 key several times and no luck, and I don't know where the eject key is onn my mac book pro. Can I carry out a forced shut down?

Henry - When I get this lock up with vO saying busy, no matter what I do, I find the way out of it is to press command f5 about 5 times. This seems to give the system a kick up the . and things are ok again.
