Hello everybody Does anybody happen to know where I can get some quality pictures of Apple's iOS products? By that, I mean the iPad, (current and previous generations), iPhone 5 and 4S, and iPod Touch 5th generation. We want some pictures which we can use for a web project. Thank you in advance

It's a apple issue. I have the same issue with rs games and stuff. currently there is no fix I don't think but if you email apple and tell them to put it back to the way it was in sl, (snow leopard) they might do it, although I doubt it. You could try raising the voice to 100 percent in the sy

VoiceOver memory usage query

Hi folks, I haven't done any research on this yet, but I'm curious. On this 2009 MacBook (though I'm sure the hardware is older), VoiceOver is currently using 134+ MB. Baring in mind that I only have 2GB of RAM in this machine, is this normal? For those of you who are curious, you can find out

James, Maybe you can switch to a smaller voice, like you can on IOS devices. I'm not sure of the difference, it may be like 8 KHZ instead of 48, or whatever the sizes are. I use the smaller one on my iPhone for better performance. Glenn - Original Message - From: "Josh Gregory" To: "Mac

Hi Sarah, that is what I meant, compact voice, not "small voice". I figured there is a compact voice for every regular one. Thanks. Glenn - Original Message - From: "Sarah k Alawami" To: "Mac OSX & iOS Accessibility" Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2013 1:41 PM Subject: Re: VoiceOver memory
