can a blind person reinstall a mac without sighted assistance.
Hi all. I have got a new macbook pro for a week ago. I do not know what has happened to it, but I can not start it now. It worked fine, but suddenly I could not shut it down, at last I shut it down the hard way. Now I can not start it up again. I have tried to start up the voiceover but I will not succeed in it. I have tried to incert the reinstall cd, but it does not say anything, but I can hear that the cd is running. Is there anything I could try? Or do I need sighted assistance. I hope you can help.

Re: Can a blind person reinstall a mac without sighted assistance
Hello, You can certainly install the OS without sighted assistance. Give this a try. With the unit running, put in the CD and shut down the machine. Boot the machine again while holding down the c key till you hear the chime. After quite a while, the DVD will stop spinning. You can now start VoiceOver. Use FN Command F5 or just Command F5. One of these methods will start VO. Just follow the prompts and you will be able to reinstall the OS. Of course, you could always call Apple for assistance. HTH.

Re: can a blind person reinstall a mac without sighted assistance.
Hi, when you put in the install dvd, wait til it stops spinning, then press command f5. If you have a laptop like the macbook or macbook pro, you'll need to press fn command f5. You will be on the language selection screen, and off you go. Best, erik burggraaf A+ sertified technician and user support consultant.

Re: can a blind person reinstall a mac without sighted assistance.
The voice over should start from the c d. After putting the disk in, shut down, then power on, while holding the c key. The c d should start. Then run v o.

Hi again. I can boot up at the dvd, but I can not get voiceover started. I am in doubt about what I can do next. Are there something else I could try.
