Hi Rob, It really can depend on the file share, Is it a windows or mac based file share? On the mac back slash becomes a forward slash following on from the unix based system. If it's a windows based share is it using samba SMB or possibly CIFS Also you could use an email address type lo

Hi there, yes to both. First, start fusion and windows, next, attach your braille display and a popup will appear on the vm fusion application itself. It will ask if you wish to connect the device to your Mac or virtual machine and there is a check box to remember your choice so you don’t have

You can probably just buy that little slide in part for the charger. Or just buy a charger. You can get them on amazon for 40 or 50 bucks, quite a bit less than apple’s list price. > On Dec 5, 2016, at 2:43 PM, christopher hallsworth > wrote: > > Hi Simon and Hannah > Don't get me wrong. >

A lot of this depends on what kind of a Mac it is and how it’s configured. What you should have your friend do is go to the apple menu, about this Mac, and give you the information contained there as in what kind of Mac it is, what kind of processor, how much memory and from there we can answer

Hello everyone, I joined this list to get some information I am not sure where to get anywhere else. A great friend of mine has a Mac laptop. I'm not sure which one, as she didn't say. I am assuming there are different ones? She hardly uses it, and has cleaned her stuff off of it. She wants to

Hi Simon and Hannah Don't get me wrong. I have been, and can still use, the extension, but due to my home set up, it is potentially dangerous. For example, it could wrap around the chair or even someone's leg. So a new charger would be worth it for me to eliminate that potential. > On 5 Dec 201
