Actually if you call apple accessibility you might have better luck. They can
walk you through setting up your mac, as they kow voice over well, or they
should anyway.
Takecare.

This sounds like software and not a hardware issue. When VoiceOver cut
out, did you try toggling off and then back on VoiceOver?

I haven't experienced what you are describing, but returning the computer
seems a bit extreme to me. Unless I am missing something here it doesn't
sound like a hardware problem at all.

Hello,
Today, while I was practicing keyboard commands using VO-k, the computer
suddenly stopped speaking. I had to turn it off, and when I turned it on
again, it had lost the settings I changed: for instance, voice over was
not activated, it asked me for a password, voice over spoke rapidly again,
etc.
I'm going to return it to the store because I can't trust a computer that
changes the setting by itself. I bought it last week.
Now, my question is: would be wise to buy another macbook air, or is
better to choose another model? Are all mac computers equally good, or
some are better than others?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Rena
