Hmmm.
VO plus f8 launches iTunes. Anyway, I went in to system preferences and was
able to navigate among the various settings. I was trying to interact with
stuff when I didn't need to. I guess that's where some of my confusion comes
in: I don't know when it's necissary to interact with something and when I can
just change the item and it will effect all other content on that page. Anyway,
Thank you Justin for your help! I'm now playing around with the various VO
options.

Hi
When you open the vo prefs with vo f8, the first place that the cursor lands
is the tool bar. I find that I can just vo right arrow once, and it lands on
the list of categories. Then just pressing the up and down arrows changes the
categories, genera'l, verbosity, navigation, text etc. You could interact with
it if you wanted, but I find I don't have to. But it's a list on the side of
the window, with the options vertically laid out. When you select an option,
the contents to the right of the list automatically change to correspond with
the preference category. You don't have to press any buttons to make the
options in a category show up.
Hopefully that makes since.

Hi all.
My name is Scott and I live in New York. I've been blind all my life and
have always used technology to improve my life situation. I've been a Windows
user for years, but after getting an iPhone in July, have decided to take on
the Macbook air. I've been using it for about 24 hours now.
I understand, I think, how to interact with text, tables, and navigate
around web pages. This from following the Voiceover tutorial provided on the
machine itself. So far, however, I am unable to change categories in the
voiceover preferences under Universal access. General is selected by default,
but I can not move to any other categories. I've tried selecting another
category with vo plus spacebar, command O, and shift vo down arrow to interact
with different categories to no avail. Can someone please explain what I need
to do to navigate between categories within the voiceover preferences?
Thank you for any help, for reading, and your patience,
Scott
