to shut down your computer hit control cmd option eject. I hit it at least
twice because sometimes at least for me it does not take. the eject button is
the button on the right right hand upper corner to the right of the f12 button.
This is also your power button as well. I love my air and take it with me to do
my studio work on it.

When on your desktop or anywhere when the device is running after voice over
is running just hold down the left control key + left option key and hit the
letter h and you get a voice over help menu pop up and arrow down the
choices to which one you want.
Also if they did not change anything when the set up your m b a the tutorial
should be the welcome screen after voice over starts if they set it up to
start at log in.
Also if voice over does not run when you start the m b a, command f5 turns
voice over on and off

Well, I didn't know, so what is done is already done. Today I will pick it
up from the store.
If Voiceover is already activated, how do I initiate training?
Also, how do I turn off the computer?
Thank you, and thank everybody for the info.

Honestly, I would start voice over and run the voice over training. When
you first start voice over it gives you the option of running the training.
You might not want the store to activate it for you since you can do it
yourself for the first time. That's one of the best things about voiceover.
Unlike bolt on windows screen readers or 3rd party applications voice over
is built in to the operating system so it means you have full access to your
Mac instead of only after you've booted like in the case of windows. All
you have to do is hit command F5. You can walk up to any mac and hit
command F5 and have access to the machine.
That being said the best way to learn to use your new Mac is use your pC
only to google or read documentation for the first time. Go to the various
podcasts and listen to how it's done and attempt it yourself. Once you get
the basics cut the cord and stop using the PC or other device. Honestly 90%
of succeeding with a new environment like this is fully committing. If you
keep falling back on the PC you'll never quite switch. Try to use the PC
only as a tool to look something up when you don't know how to do it on your
Mac. Over time and with patients you'll become a power user.
I would also say post a lot of questions here and other places and bottom
line enjoy the process as much as possible. It can be frustrating at first
but you'll get it and in my opinion not look back. I've been using the mac
since 2010 or so and am glad I made the transition.
Good luck

Hello,
Finally today I was able to buy my first Apple computer. This is a mac
book air. The store will activate voice over, do the configuration and set
up the email, and tomorrow I will pick it up.
Please, my questions are:
Where can I find a list of voice over commands?
What is the best way to learn how to use the mac book?
Thank you,
Rena
