Hey Rui, I would make sure that you are going through tutorials and Podcasts regarding using Voice Over on the Mac to help you get your feet wet. It works much different than a windows based system. I am glad you made the jump, just remember that patients and determination will have to b your friends during the transition. I studied voice over for weeks before I got my Mack and the first night I got home with it I was able to record an 8 track song on pro tools, but if I wouldn't have prepared ahead of time with both podcasts for the Mac and pro tools I would have been really frustrated. If you ever want to facetime to go through some stuff then let me know, you can run face time with pro tools sessions going at the same time.

If you're confident that you know how to switch among sources on the monitor then go ahead and do so. The Mac Pro has a built-in speaker so you can at least do the initial setup without any monitor attached. Don't turn on VoiceOver with Command-f5 right away. Let the computer boot up and after a short period, you'll hear a voice come up describing what VoiceOver is. Follow the voice prompts. You'll be taken through a "getting started" tutorial. If you aren't too familiar with VoiceOver, I'd recommend you go through the tutorial. Afterwards, you'll be prompted with the Setup Assistant. Keep in mind that, when you're prompted to join a network, you might not be able to log on to your own network during the setup process. If you have any trouble, just check the radio button that says your computer does not connect to the Internet. Once you've completed the setup assistant, you can go back to the Network pane of System Preferences and join your network. There's a bug in Yosemite while connecting to WiFi networks during the setup process. I would have a USB keyboard handy. If you don't have one, the Blue Tooth Setup Assistant will automatically launch and try to detect a wireless keyboard. Having a USB keyboard connected will keep the Blue Tooth Setup Assistant from launching automatically. HTH, Slau On Nov 13, 2014, at 6:16 PM, Rui Vilarinho <ruia...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hmm ...
