Do you have a monitor attached? It seems like most people reporting problems have Minis, and I know that many Mini users are running without monitors attached.Bryan -----Original Message-----From: macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:macvoiceover- bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of carlene knightSent: Saturday, October 24, 2009 10:14 PM To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Voiceover saying busy all the time Hi:Once I get into the system profiler I can't choose applications as it won't open.

Perhaps the people that are experiencing theproblem could use that system profiler tool in the apps folder to postinfo about their systems. I think it is called System Info. Not sure if it can save output, but don't imagine that it couldn't. Probably, they don't have a monitor connected, are running at a strange display resolution, or some other factor is being overlooked.It can't be a coincidence that those reporting the problems (that I'veseen, at least), are using Minis, which lack a lot of common hardware found on other Macs. For example, if you have a MacBook or IMac, you always have a monitor, and I think that the OS automatically selects the native resolution for the display when you install. On a Mini, even if you connect a monitor at some point, it wasn't connectedduring the install of the OS, so perhaps some setting that is normallyonly automatically set at install time has been missed.

I use a mini with 1gb of ram and a 2.0ghz core2 duo and it really does work well.I've used it for youtube and all kinds of things. Maybe we should giveApple the serial numbers for computers where VO works well andcomputers where it doesn't. I really don't know what it can be, but itdoesn't seem as though it has to do with RAM, at least not for me...

Put another technical way, the program is frozen/not responding. On Windows, this would be like when a program is doing lots of work, or becomes stuck, and the screen reader can't read anything from thewindow because of this. VoiceOver doesn't seem to get stuck like many of the Windows screen readers when applications freeze, but, when theapplications freeze, it blocks VoiceOver from reading anything in their windows. This happens to me a lot in Safari, particularly when on sites like Hulu that show video content. When the flash player on the page is running, it seems to bog down Safari/make it respond slowly, VoiceOver responds slowly, and I hear "Safari busy". I have a MacBook Pro (2.5Ghz dual core and 4GB of RAM), so I don'tknow how much more computer you're supposed to throw at it to make it run smoothly. Maybe flash player is just a terribly written plug- in,and no amount of CPU power and memory will help.

I've noticed that over the last day or so, Voiceover has been saying "busy" quite alot, particularly when opening Safari and Itunes. Is there anythingI can do about this?
