It sounds like you are having problems focussing on windows properly. I
suspect you need to be using Window Chooser more to navigate to these
windows and get them in proper focus.
VO F2 and F2 again by default.
You can change this to something more intuitive like option W in
Keyboard manager if you want
Also application chooser VO F1 and F1 again will also provide access to
both apps running and windows.
Finally command accent will cycle between windows within a single app.
The other thing to check is that you have not turned cursor tracking off
by mistake.

Hi, again, David
Sadly, the permissions repair hasn't done the trick! Interestingly, these
system dialogues seem to be getting hidden behind the Finder window since, when
I shutdown the machine, I was again told there was a system dialogue and, on
this occasion, I was able to read and action the continue button - mind you,
doubt it did anything as the shutdown process was in progress!
Also, before this shutdown step, when I opened the lid of the Air to awaken the
computer, before I was told to enter my password to logon, I was advised there
were THREE system message boxes but, of course, couldn't navigate to them!
If I try a re-install, I go through the same cycle, ie partially spoken system
message and no access to the continue button.
Is there a way with VO to force focus to hidden dialogues?
Thanks

Subject: Re: [Mac-access]: UNINSTALLING AN APP
I have never seen this behaviour on the Mac but I would take a number of steps
1. Go to System Preferences Security and the General and after clicking the
lock to make changes make sure that you can download apps from anywhere.
2. I would then go to Disk Utility and perform a disk permission repair on
your hard drive. You will be able to get to the Utilities folder in Finder by
pressing command shift U. Ideally you should do all this in the recovery
console but try in Disk Utility first.
3. You could then review your apps folder to see if VLC has reappeared. If
not install one more time but I would restart your Mac before making this
install.
4. It is normal to get the warning dialogue you describe but you can normally
navigate it. Hopefully a restart will sort this. Otherwise try pressing tab to
navigate rather than vo cursor and pressing space bar on continue if you can
get there. On any button if vo space does not work it is worth trying space or
ever on it.

Hi, again!
On Wednesday, I installed VLC Media Player and used it successfully for the
rest of the day. On Thursday, it had disappeared from the applications window
and, so, I installed it again and, once more, successfully used it for the rest
of the day.
Today, Friday, it has again disappeared from the applications window and, so,
I tried to re-install it a third time!However, now when I try this, I’m getting
a message saying that there’s a new system dialogue and VO starts to read out
the message saying that this is an app downloaded from the web. However, the
whole message isn’t read out and I can’t navigate to the dialogue box to read
and activate the continue button.
I presume I’ve got the system confused due to my multiple installs and would
appreciate any suggestions as to how to uninstall an app on the Mac and, also,
why VLC keeps disappearing after I close the system down at night.
I’m using Yosemite, by the way!
Thanks for any help.
