mavericks mail question

[Cait and Maggie]

Hi,
I seem to be notified every time I get a new mail message, which is extremely 
annoying especially if I’m already in the mail app.

How do I turn this off?
I thought this might be an issue with notification centre, but I’ve already had 
a look in there and mail isn’t included in that lot.

I can’t find anything in mail prefs..
um, help..!

Many thanks!
Caitlyn, with a few more grey hairs

Re: What's the accessibility take on iOS7?

[Cait and Maggie]

Hi Lynn,
Personally, I like IOS 7.

some of the gestures took some getting used to, and I still struggle with a few 
of them, but that's me and not the OS!

We upgraded both our phones from i phone 4's to the 5C, 32 g model.  IOS 7 does 
run a bit faster on the new phones, but we didn't play around a lot with the 
older phones, either.  I am also running the new OS on my i pad 2 and it's a 
bit sluggish, but this doesn't make it unusable.

I'm not sure what's available in the UK, but here in Canada, you can definitely 
buy a 5S in the 64 g model.

Re: 8 Dot Braille With Apex and the Air

[Cait and Maggie]

YOu might look in vo utility under the braille settings while the display is 
attached to your mac air.
You can also toggle between 8 and 6 dot mode, at least you can on my braille 
sense, on the note taker itself.  Not sure where that setting is on the apex, 
though, as I don't own one of those.
huh anyway,

authentication has no windows

[Cait and Maggie]

Hi,
Mark, my husband, is having problems with his mac.  He keeps getting the 
message "authentication has no windows".  when this happens, the entire system 
gets locked up and you can't do anything except restart by holding in the 
button.

How do we fix this?  The computer is unusable right now because of this.

Earlier today, he reinstalled mountain lion on one partition of his HD because 
of problems he was having with the calendar app.  This is also the partition we 
are having trouble with now.

Thanks,
Cait
