I'm not sure what key function I hit by accident but everytime I use my keyboard my Mac repeats my keyboard action back to in one of those annoying computerized voices. Anyone know how I can turn this off/remove this function?
I saved several voicemails from my landline (Comcast Digital Voice). They are saved in a folder in my Documents folder but also are showing up in my iTunes library. They are saved as .wav files. I want to keep them (one is my last voicemail from my dead mom) but I don't want them showing up in my library of songs in iTunes, being synced with the rest of my songs on all my devices. Is there any way to remove them from my iTunes library while keeping them saved on my hard drive in my Documents folder?

I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I can't seem to figure out this confusion. I was visiting my friend when her mac told her that she needed to charge her computer. I mean literally a voice said she was low on power. Now I have looked all over my mac and I can't figure out how to do this. I really want to hear voices!

I'm on Leopard 10.5.6, Mac Mini. Does the sleep function use power? If yes, how much power to maintain that sleep state? Can I switch off my power plug after putting it to sleep?
View 11 Replies View RelatedMy 2011 macbook pro does not go into sleep mode with the power cord on. The sleep light goes on, but does not go into "pulse" mode and the fans continue to run as well as the hard disk keeps running.
The issue started a few weeks back. I have tried switching off the internet sharing and other possible settings that might hinder the MBP going into sleep mode when the power cord is in. I have even down loaded PleaseSleep but that does not seem to function either.
Seems like a minor issue, but if the MBP does not enter into sleep mode correctly I am afraid the built-up heat might damage disks, rams or screen.

I downloaded the Samantha (same as Siri) voice just for fun. I don't use voice over, and I was just using it for fun. Now I realize it was almost half a gig of hard drive space. Oops. Is there any way for me to delete this new voice on my Mac?

Following on from my recent post regarding the new apple wired keyboard after very helpful feedback from people who responded to my post I decided to take the leap and purchase it! Good news is that I am really happy with it and am glad that I got it! Much nicer then old apple keyboard that I was using.
I also downloaded spark v. 2.1.1 which has enabled me to change the functions of Fkeys to enable to play, pause, etc... in itunes in accordance with the keyboard layout. However, there are two functions that I am having difficulty assigning which are the F1 and F2 keys which allow the decrease and increase of screen brightness. So that I can control my screen brightness using these keys.

View 8 Replies View RelatedMy mac mini will not eject the cd. I partitioned the drive in order to install windows (cuz portions of our system are not Mac compatible). When I inserted the windows CD and rebooted, the mini only boots to a prompt but will not accept any commands from any input devices (none, zip, zero, nada, zilch). I need to be able to remove the CD that is now stuck without the use of external devices or figure out how to get the machine to recognize a command (external keyboard inputs are not working or recognized).

So any idea what to get?

1. ReBooting (hoping that it will reset itself somehow).
2. Went through the Voice Over Utility and tried to turn it off, but couldn't figure out how.
3. Someone told me to trash the Voice Over Utility so I did that, but it didn't fix it...

I installed MS messenger 8.0 on my MacBook and the only problem so far is audio.
When I make a call to one of my contact's computer using my internal microphone and internal speakers everything is fine.
If I switch to my bluetooth headset in System Preferences and retry the call I can not hear them and they can not hear me.
Using the bluetooth headset for Skype calls works fine.
Is this a messenger issue or ??????
