Re: File Vault

It's been my experience that, if you fail to unlock FileVault and then restart the machine, you'll fall into the recovery partition (or something similar to this). If that happens, a Command+F5 should get you into a running copy of VoiceOver without a problem. On Tue, Jun 2, 2015 at 10:14 AM, Sh

Re: yosemite strangeness

Hi all Not a lot know this I don't think, but it is possible to navigate the Mac similar to Windows. For example, there is something in the keyboard pain of System Preferences that allows one to tab and shift-tab between controls. Also, VoiceOver can automatically interact with tables, lists an

Re: yosemite strangeness

Keep in mind that you don’t have to use VoiceOver commands at all to navigate between the mailboxes list and the messages table. You can simply use TAB and SHIFT+TAB. I have just verified that this works under Yosemite when in classic view. This requires that you have gone into the Keyboard pane

Actually, it is a cross-platform chatting solution. I have only found it to be accessible mainly on the Mac with OS X. Actually, come to think of it, it seems like I did try it once on iOS, and over there it worked as well. I've not tried on android though. On the windows side of things, don't e

I did some research into this, and Facebook did in fact announce that XMPP has been deprecated. However, the cut-off date given is April 30, 2015. We are now well into June and Facebook Chat via XMPP appears to be working just fine at my end, so it is difficult to say what the situation may be.
