Re: command for turning on VO on the new Macs?

This will sound strange, but I got it to work. If one knows where the f5 key is on the touch bar, pressing fn (the key in the lower left corner) command, f5 will start and stop voiceover on the new macbook with touch bar. Kind regards, David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email: dchitten...@gmail.com

Re: command for turning on VO on the new Macs?

Hi Simon, I tried using Siri to turn on VO in the app store, but it didn't work. Now mind you, I was there the day before Christmas, so it may well have been that the environment was too noisy, so my experience should not be considered conclusive. Cheers, Donna > On Dec 27, 2016, at 8:19 PM,

Re: bluetooth headphone strangeness

HI Ray, so most modern headsets have a firmware component and a settings component. You install one form of updater or another, plantronics uses the headset updater, the jawbone uses the jawbone update tool and so forth. It’s very likely your manufacturer has a set of tools or both updating

Re: bluetooth headphone strangeness

Hi, Not sure about your iphone problem, but I do have a pair of headphones that work with my imac with bone exception. VLC sounds very distored but itunes is fine. This is only with the bluetooth headset. If I use wired vheads, the problem is fine. I am using the latesed searia update.

Re: command for turning on VO on the new Macs?

Hi Simon, I didn't get to spend a ton of time in the store, but my sense is that there will be a learning curve with the touch bar. Maybe not so much a learning curve as a significant adjustment period. :) In the seven and a half years I've used the Mac, I've never needed recovery mode, so I
