It could be the Bluetooth might be turned off. And if it came, there should be a connect button. I'm not for sure of the process. As I've never done something like this. Perhaps, you could ask on a Josh related list and somebody might be able to help you. I like the other idea of the patch cable

Re: Sound from a windows laptop to iMac speakers

The easiest way would be to get a patch cord. Plug one end into the Windows laptop and the other end into the Mac. Before doing that, Go to your VO utility and sound and set the default to your speakers, otherwise, you are going to lose sound. After you plug in the cable, go to sounds in System

NO, I was not clear. I had forgotten that the Mac has a separate rotor for quickly changing settings. I guess one could consider it a bit like the quadruple double tab on IOS except it is not configurable as to what is in it. Also, I think a quadruple double tab would be a better interaction th

Hi Donna. This afternoon when I was chopping vegetables in order to cook them, I tapped my watch to see what time it was. There was no sound on the watch and I don't know why it happened. I had to reset it which was a pain. This is the first time it had happened. Kawal. -Original Messa

Hi! The only thing you could do is to contact apple accessibility about it. I do that with all strange things speech can’t pronounce correctly in Swedish. Its a pain in the but when things that you might expect to pronounce in some way are being pronounced differently. /A > 24 jan. 2022 kl. 18:2

HI, Do you have someone sighted that can look at the watch, or maybe Seeing AI, to see if there’s anything visible on the screen? I ask this because if the Watch somehow went into Power Reserve mode, the time would still appear on the screen, but there would be no sound at all. Someone else h
