Re: Lion, a lemon?
Have you tried toing a clean install of Lion? I've heard about people having issues when doing the normal upgrade, and have heard that doing a clean install helped.

Re: Adium
hi. I'm not sure, but I think in the latest version of Adium, Facebook chat is broken for some reason.

Re: making adium not continuously bringing up a window
Hi Matt. I had this happen as well. Go to Adium preferences. Under the Events tab, navigate to the events table. Expand the section that says, Contact signs on. If you see something that says, Display Growl notification, press the delete key and it should delete that preference. Do the same under the section that says, Contact signs off. I had to delete that preference under the Message Received section as well. Hope this helps.

Re: Search in Apple Mail
Hi David. I'm assuming you are viewing messages in the messages table. I usually just press enter when I get to the message I want and Voiceover reads the full message to me. Of course there's also interacting with the message content table, then pressing down arrow once, and Voiceover should read the message. If there is more than one message in a thread, its much the same way. The latest message will come first then you down arrow through each previous message in the thread.

Re: Strange behavior in Finder and VoiceOver
hi. Do you have automatic login enabled? You may need to go to system preferences, then users and groups, then interact with, "users, accounts, and login options." Navigate down to where it says, "login options group." Stop interacting with users, accounts and login options." right arrow over, and you'll see your log in options. You should see a check box that says, "use voiceover in the login window." If that is unchecked, and you want voiceover to start at the login window, check that box. If automatic login is enabled, when you first log in, press command f5, to turn on Voiceover. The next time you log in, voiceover *should* come up automatically.

If you know where you saved the file you're trying to open, go to that folder, find the file you need, then VO shift m and select the program you need to open the file.

Re: speech is gone sometimes
Hi. I have written them on several occasions. And they have always given me pretty much the same reply, saying that they have forwarded it to the proper people. So just because they don't reply, doesn't mean that aren't working on it. How many of you have ever considered joining the Apple developer program, to test accessibility while things are still in beta? Apple needs more people like us to test accessibility.

Re: Mac feel natural
hi When I first bought my mac a couple of years ago, I remember using both Operating systems for a while. Untill my Windows PC crashed. Then I didn't have much of a choice. LOL! It's ok to use both.

Re: Mac feel natural
Traci, Indeed! It is an amazing experience. I'll put it this way. Use windows. But only if you *have* to. That's what I meant by its ok to use both. Because there were a couple of times where i just, 'didn't quite get it." Of course, i was also running Mac OS X Leopard at the time. Much has improved since then.

Re: my third year with the Mac
Hi Ray. December 1 2011 will mark 2 years for me. I take this personally because, to be honest, an Apple store opened up here in my state earlier this year. And I feel that I need to apply for a job as an Apple Specialist there. I'm looking to help people. It is my passion. I eat sleep and breathe it. It doesn't mean I know all the answers, or even half of them. But I'm learning.
