Re: Looking for suggestions on how to retrieve Wi-Fi information from my computers keychain?

Hi,

On the Mac, from the Finder, go to the Utilities folder, open the Keychain 
Access app.  Select iCloud from the Keychains table, then Passwords from the 
Categories table.  Scroll through the list of items to find the entry for the 
network.  Press cmd-i or VO-space on the Info button in the Toolbar to open the 
Info window.  Check the box to show the password and enter your computer 
password to allow access.  The password will be readable now.

Yes, if downloading items through Safari, you can set a different location for 
downloads.  This is accomplished in Safari Prefs, in the General pane.

Later...

Good morning everyone, I have an interesting and perplexing problem. I am 
visiting family, but I need the password from the keychain file in order to 
connect a notetaker directly to Wi-Fi. This is so that I can download 
newspapers from NFB Newsline. And I think it would be easier to do it directly 
to where I’m going to be reading them. It should be mentioned here that I’m 
deaf blind. So listening to it is certainly not an option especially when I 
have three very young and very loud nieces. So using hearing aids is going to 
be a challenge. But rather we did in braille.

Back to my original question, how to get this information so that I can put it 
into the note taker. I guess the alternative is to come up with a directory 
that I can download the newspapers into that is separate from the downloads 
directory then copy the contents of that directory after I’ve downloaded the 
newspapers into this directory then copy that to a USB drive and then copy it 
to the notetaker. So can I specify a directory other than downloads? I hope 
this is enough information for someone to be able to come up with some 
suggestions?

Finally, a completely different problem I’ve been told by sighted people that 
when I create a document in word for the back the document comes out in 
braille. And of course we all know cited folks most of them unless they’re a 
trained TBI don’t know how to read braille what I have to do is translate the 
document. I don’t possess of real printers on trying to figure out why it’s 
doing this. Any thoughts? Of course I can read the document using the attached 
Braille Display. I think that’s it for me, be well everyone and I look forward 
to those responses. PS I dictated this to my computer in a very quiet place but 
hopefully the email is readable? Let me know if it’s not readable.

Sincerely Maurice Mines.
