Hello Henry, Here are a few things you should know about. You should repair permissions every time you install new software, and when your machine is behaving erratically, you should reset the PRAM. Instructions follow. You can shut down your computer tidily with Ctrl-Option-Command-Eject key (or Power key if you have a MacBook Air). Instructions for resetting the PRAM Shut down your computer, then hold down the following keys: Command, Option, R and P. With these held down, press the Power key once, keeping the four keys held down until you've heard the start up chime four times. Release the four keys and the machine will boot normally. Repairing permissions Open the Utilities folder (Cmd-Shift-u). Open Disk Utility. Select your HD in the table. Make sure that First Aid is selected. Navigate down to Repair Disk Permissions and click it. You can follow the progress of the repair by going up to the Results table and interacting with it. You can press Cmd-q from within the table.

It could come in helpful at times, as you can move your mouse and know what you're hoverring over. If you do want to turn it off, go into your voiceover preferences with vo+F8, If that won't work, try fn+vo+F8. Then interact with the categories table, and go down to navigation. There should be a setting in here to disable that function. If you need the absolute specifics, let me know.

Re: help with setting up vm ware?
Mathew, I use Jaws in windows7 in VMWare under mountain lion, and will probably not be upgrading anytime soon either. One thing you'll need to be aware of when installing and using Jaws is the need to modify some setting to have access to an insert key, or a caps lock key for jaws in laptop keyboard mode. If you have a full-sized apple keyboard, this is not a problem because that keyboard has an insert key, and you can run jaws in PC keyboard mode. The caps lock is unavailable because apple doesn't treat it like a key press but handles it differently, and it doesn't get passed along to windows - making it unavailable as a jaws modifier key. What I've done, and what a lot of people do, is to use a freeware windows program called sharp keys to assign the grave accent key to act as a caps lock key, and then set jaws to run in laptop keyboard mode with the caps lock (now the grave accent key) as the jaws modifier key. . another way, probably the better way, is to set up VMWare to substitute an insert key for the caps lock key, so that when you press capslock, vmware sends an insert key to windows. I've forgotten how that's done in vmware now, but it's fairly simple. probably a lot simpler than the sharp keys method and the third option that I won't mention here now. The only drawback to the last method is that you lose one Jaws command, the command is insert+J, which has a conflict that causes it to be unusable. However, pressing control left arrow does the same thing as insert + j and so it doesn't really matter. Sorry I can't give accurate directions on how to set up an insert key from within vmware, I'm sure someone here will tell you if you ask. .

Re: please can someone advise?
Hello Andy, If you don’t repair permissions regularly, your Mac can start misbehaving such as losing the sounds in Mail, going busy too often, having short cuts stop working, and all kinds of other problems I’ve heard people complain about. I’ve been using Macs for 17 years, long before VoiceOver, and I rarely have problems but I also repair permissions regularly and reset the PRAM every month or so. What you don’t need to do on a Mac is defrag the HD. Housekeeping is the first job a Mac does when powered on, or if left to sleep, sometime in the early hours of the morning.

RE: please can someone advise?
Personally, I think doing this after every single installation definitely! is way! way! way! overkill! OK, it won't hurt anything to do so, but, frankly... in my opinion, why? I mean ok, I see Anne's [point, don't get me wrong here, but, every installation? That just seems a bit barbaric. If you install something and start to see things gradually go haywire, then yeah! obviously! repair and check permissions, again, making sure you do so from another startup disk than the one you're checking/repairing if at all possible, but I see no point unless someone can explain to me why, you should have to do this after every God forsaken instalation. Again, I sit on the ledge of the fence here. I see Ann's point of reasoning, but also, I feel that is overkill by far and away. No hard feelings meant whatsoever. This isn't meant to call down on Anne. She offers extremely good information, and I'm incredibly grateful for her help. All I'm saying is that I don't understand her logic. Definitely, absolutely! no hard feelings what so ever intended, and I genuinely hope that my message doesn't come across arigantly or rudely, as I promise, that is not at all my intentions.

Instructions for resetting the PRAM Shut down your computer, then hold down the following keys: Command, Option, R and P. With these held down, press the Power key once, keeping the four keys held down until you’ve heard the start up chime four times. Release the four keys and the machine will boot normally. Repairing permissions Open the Utilities folder (Cmd-Shift-u). Open Disk Utility. Select your HD in the table. Make sure that First Aid is selected. Navigate down to Repair Disk Permissions and click it. You can follow the progress of the repair by going up to the Results table and interacting with it. You can press Cmd-q from within the table.

Re: please can someone advise?
Actually I do this after every install and every major update like the one coming up in a few months. I also do it once a month as well and do notice a speed difference in this old clunker I have here. I just make it a habit. Have been doing this since I have owned snow lepherd. and i suggested this and teach this for the advanced users who want to keep their mac running in almost tip top shape with out buying any extra software. I also scan and repair any errors on the disk every month as well. and I do see permission errors every month, not many but when a major install and update comes the table can be thousands of lines long. Take care. On Nov 21, 2013, at 7:11 PM, Christopher-Mark Gilland ch...@clgproductions.com wrote: Personally, I think doing this after every single installation definitely! is way! way! way! overkill! OK, it won't hurt anything to do so, but, frankly... in my opinion, why? I mean ok, I see Anne's [point, don't get me wrong here, but, every installation? That just seems a bit barbaric. If you install something and start to see things gradually go haywire, then yeah! obviously! repair and check permissions, again, making sure you do so from another startup disk than the one you're checking/repairing if at all possible, but I see no point unless someone can explain to me why, you should have to do this after every God forsaken instalation. Again, I sit on the ledge of the fence here. I see Ann's point of reasoning, but also, I feel that is overkill by far and away. No hard feelings meant whatsoever. This isn't meant to call down on Anne. She offers extremely good information, and I'm incredibly grateful for her help. All I'm saying is that I don't understand her logic.

Hi Anne - Thanks too for these instructions. I love the way you are always accurate and detailed in your explanations. You'll have seen that Chris had something to say on repairing permissions that for Mac novices like myself can leave us wondering what to do for the best. Your recommendation is to repair permissions after every software installation, is that regardless of where the software came from? For example, I installed iText Express and Line in yesterday, the first of course from the Mac app store, and the second from a third party provider, will this be ok, or should I do a permissions repair?

Re: sd cards not loading in new mac o s
It is I believe past the corner on the rectangular side. It’s a movable switch that is used to lock the card and it’s tiny and sometimes easy to move. I can’t remember which is which though in terms of locking and unlocking the card. It’s been years since I used an sd card. Tc.

If it is locked you will not be able to read the card at all. Take care.

There are several different specifications. Also, before you updated to Mavericks, did it read the exact same card? Are you at a position where you can try the card in another system not running Mavericks to see if the card is dammaged or not? Can you try it in another system also running Mavericks to see the results you get? Once all this is tested, if another mac won't see it in Mavericks, yet a system not running Mavericks sees it, I'll file it for you as a bug, being I am an Apple dev, thus have access to the Bug reporter. I'd rather if at all possible, you try those other things first. If it isn't feezable to do those things, we'll wait and see if anyone else on lsit also has the issue. If so, I'll file it.
