Re: On My Mac Mailbox

2024-05-16 Thread Brad Snyder
On My Mac is a group or category heading, that contains local mailboxes.  It is 
not a folder.
You can delete the local mailboxes, and perhaps that may eliminate the group, 
but I would just leave it alone.

Re: Amazon Shopping

2024-05-16 Thread Lorie McCloud
they put Amazon music in your face to the point that you can hardly do anything 
else. there have been times when I’ve asked a sighted friend to send me the 
link to an album I wanted to buy on Amazon because it was so hard for me to get 
to. I think you can cancel Amazon music but I have no idea how to do it.

   I found it difficult to keep straight what I was hearing in the app. 
Went back to the computer. Only problem is I somehow got signed up for

Re: Browsing Time Machine

   It does not look like one can delete files or folders from inside a 
Time Machine backup. So I will leave things as they are.

Re: Convert PDF to txt on iPhone or iPad?

Hi Karen,

Thank you for suggesting the RoboBraille email conversion service. I’ve just 
used it on a pdf file and, so far, the text file seems really good.

thanks.
