Hi Josh, Unfortunately, that won't work. I think I see where you are coming from with this, since the site won't let you download the plugin unless you are running firefox. Yes, this feature would enable you to download it, but safari wouldn't have a clue what to do with it. It wouldn't be able

This situation is a little weird. Notification center actually does support third party apps, but only apps on the Mac App Store. Apple's Idea is to reserve certain OS X features as exclusive to the App Store, to try to convince developers to use it. As another example, only App Store apps can u

Hello, I enjoyed this podcast, and decided to try a second time to use my iPhone with my BrailleNote Apex as a display. I was quickly reminded about a limitation of the apex which makes it less than ideal for use with iOS. The letter h with the space bar is captured by the apex and brings up a

Hi. If you triple-click the home button as your very first action before completing the initial setup process, Voiceover will come up right away. I did this with my new iPhone 4S last week. What Esther is saying is something I've heard from a few other people. If someone at the store does the

If you want to read line by line in EPub books, you can try a text editor on the Mac App Store called itext express. It can open these files. I used that before I knew about digital editions or stanza. Hope this helps. Justin On Oct 16, 2011, at 12:05 PM, Anne Robertson wrote: Hello Jim, Re

Hi Paul, The Voiceover Settings activity is meant to be your default activity for applications where no other activity is being used. Changes you make in the Voiceover utility itself are saved to the voiceover settings activity. In other words, you do not need a separate default activity. Just
