Thank you for all of the helpful information. I did go into recovery mode and
repair disk permissions. It took about 15 minutes. It did not help the problem.
I then went into recovery mode and chose to reinstall the OS. I am now stuck at
signing into the App Store. It has been on that screen
OK this is a well known problem and there is an easy way out.
1. Bring up Window Chooser with VO F2 pressed twice.
2. Make sure you are on the sign in to App Store window.
3. Tab to the Apple ID field.
You will probably get no feedbac but d not worry.
4. Hit VO command f5 to make sure you are
David,
Thank you for this information. I am on that screen right now. When I press
video F2 all I get is a short dang. Does it make a difference that I am using a
Bluetooth keyboard? Is there any way out of this?

Hi,
Try holding down the FN key at the same time as you press the VO-f2-f2.

Earlier today I noticed that my computer could not see my two external drives
which were connected via USB. I decided a reboot was in order, since most of
the time this fixes that type of an issue. There was no voice over when the
computer restarted. I was unable to tell whether the computer
Hi Kristeen,
I don't know if this is accessible, but in looking up keyboard shortcuts for
starting up a Mac if something's not working properly, you can try holding down
D at start up. It will start the apple hardware test, which may tell you

fix at the Apple Store today. One thing I want to add, when booting up into

that I needed to use the FN key to access some of the VO speech output. I'm
still learning so much after a year of owning my MacBook Air. It's amazing that
there are so many solutions or just one if you
