Hi Dónal,
Well, you're not the only one to have troubles. Sweetwater's engineers most 
often encourage users to simply disable the Application Manager because so many 
have had trouble with it. I've personally had no issues with it until only very 
recently but, when it works, it works great. VoiceOver compatibility leaves a 
lot to be desired but that's not even of most concern. It's when it locks up, 
regardless of VoiceOver, and simply won't allow you to log in, that's when it's 
a real problem. Others have experienced this quite a bit. I'd imagine , or at 
least hope, that Avid will revamp it and fix these issues. For now, there are 
bigger fish to fry but this is definitely a side dish.
Cheers,
Slau
