Hello,
I am running Mac OS 10.9 on my 2009 iMac.
Sometimes VO refuses to speak after my iMac has been awaken after several hours
asleep. Pressing command+F5 does not help so I have to power-off and then
power-on again to restore VO.
I recall reading in this forum that you can often recover VO
Paul - When this happens with me, I find five presses of CMD f5 usually works,
it takes a couple of seconds after the fifth press -

I have found that usually typing in my password, with no audible feedback and
pressing enter will log me back into my MBA and Voiceover will be back up and
running immediately. But I bet the Command + 4 or 5 key presses may work for
you too. Definitely try typing in your password blindly
Okay, When I started having this problem in july or august of 2012 after buying
my first Mac, I used to mess around with the volume buttons, and try turning VO
off and on a couple of times. Eventually, maybe after a few minutes, VO would
come up talking. I asked about this problem on the list
All I can add, is that I discovered the 5 times myself, from just trying to
resolve this issue in the early days of having this MBA. I think it needs to be
an odd number of times because it has already gone off, and doing it 3 times
doesn't seem to work -
