Apple Hardware and Compatible Accessories

Hi all. It seems my eight year old Mac, is asking to go to the recycling bin in the sky. It's now up to me to find another one. Here are my requirements, something not the latest, but able to hold up to the next few Os versions. I'd absolutely love a ssd. I'm thinking of going with a 256 but that's probably as high as my bedget would allow. I don't care so much about ram, processor speed that type of stuff. Has anyone bought a referbished Mac of any configuration and macbook pro air etc?

I am working with a friend that is running Mac OS X Mavericks on an iMac with a full size keyboard with number pad.

I have enabled numpad commander and checked the table to see if any of the key mapping has changed. Everything looks good.

When numpad 5 is pressed, the normal action is supposed to be identical to a VO spacebar. However, VoiceOver is announcing that focus has moved to the menu bar and as far as I can tell, no action has been performed. Very strange.

Hello everyone,
I have a question for those of you out there who have mac laptops. Is there any advantages to getting the 15.6 over the 13.3 laptop? The reason I ask is there is a fairly big price difference between the two sizes and I may be purchasing one soon. Thank you ahead of time for any thoughts on this.

Regards,
Greg Wocher

I'm thinking of getting one of these to do mostly terminal stuff. Do I need a monitor? Or is there still a dongle that I can get?

I am legally blind and my husband is totally blind. I have an iphone that I like a lot and my hubby is coming along nicely learning to use vo. He currently has a pc that I know is going to die soon and we will need to replace it. He works for a local church doing event planning/facilitating and pastoral teaching and blogging. We had trouble with screen readers of late and have decided to switch to apple. I am curious as to what route we should go. Would a mac be more conducive to his needs or can an ipad do what he wants. He does a ton of email and word processing.

I have an iPhone 4s. Would I be better off buying a new iPad or a MacBook thank you.

If you have used or you are still using MacBook 12, how’s your experience? A friend has been offered one for very good price, and the unit is in pristine shape.

2017 MacBook Air. I got it on 24 January
So I was using it for a bit, no bashing keyboard like a maniac, nothing like that. But then, the key just. Well !?., fell off. Literally fell off the keyboard, since there is no key to protect the wise any more, would Apple need to service the entire keyboard or just put down our key back on it
Just asking I meant the wires

Hello
I'm planning to buy MacBook Air. I will use it in school. I like 11 inch more than 13 inch. /But 11 inch memory is 4GB and 13 inch is 8GB. Will 11 inch enough fast?
Thanks

Last year I got an iPad mini-4 and a Zag. keyboard case. Didn't mind the keyboard keys being smaller back then... Now, , I'm considering migrating from the iPad mini-4 to the latest MacBook Air. Questions before purchasing:

1. Is the keyboard of the MacBook Air full size?

2. Does the keyboard layout include the control, option, and command keys on both sides of the spacebar?

3. What would you warn me about the MacBook Air before I spent my pennies?

Thanks, Warm Las Vegas Regards, Johnny.

Hello,

I've been trying to figure out a safe way to do this for some time, but most of the visual representations are not very descriptive. I would like to remove certain keys from my MacBook Air 2013. Some simply do not have the travel time that they used to. I'm not sure what's trapped beneath the keys, as I do refrain from eating or drinking near my notebook; I'm guessing it's simply an accumulation of certain things.
Anyhow, has anyone undertaken the process of removing keys and successfully putting them back on?
Thanks.

I am looking at buying a Macbook Air (after many years of Windows). I primarily do writing, spreadsheets, email, etc. I don’t see so I’ll always have VO on. Would I be better off with 8 GB of RAM or will 4 GB work for me?

Thanks in advance for your kind counsel.

I'm aware of the deep tecnical issues relating to this question. It's more my instinctive reaction I am doubting.

I use speech and will mainly be using Safari, Pages and Numbers. I can't see many real advantages of getting the laptop over the iPad with keyboard case. The iPad will have celular to, the laptop would use my iphone's WiFi.

I can't think of a single reason to go for the Macbook, other than the fact that it's new! So what does your nose tell you?

BTW, I already got a Windows Ten laptop with JAWS.

Hi guys,

I am in the market for a new laptop--a MacBook in particular. I am wanting to use it mainly to run Windows 7 Home Premium in Boot Camp, so I can go back and forth and eventually get to using OS X more. I have JAWS 14, Microsoft Office, Sound Forge, and a few other programs here and there that I want to run. I have a large audio recording and music database, some of which can be transferred onto external storage if necessary.

Hey all.

I had used pc computer with screen reader Jaws during all my life, and will in these days buy a new laptop, but I'm confused and wondering something.
Will I continuely use pc with Jaws cuz of I can that commands and have good experience and buy a Asus Ultrabook by screen reader Jaws or drive a Macbook Air with VO? There's a great difference between this models. I haven't had any problem with Jaws for pc but Macbook Air will work 100% great also is it true? What's your opponion and have you some tips?
