Hi Adrian,
Welcome to the Mac.
Firstly, I am sure you can turn the screen curtain off without losing VoiceOver.
On my iMac I turn the curtain off by pressing VO shift + delete equals and f12,
a handful I know.
Secondly in all Apple products, iPad, iPhone, iMac, there is an app called
‘FaceTime’ that , once activated and turned on, runs a small bit of code in the
background so when another Apple product user called you, also using FaceTime,
you will hear a ringing phone, to which you accept or not.
Unlike Skype, which when I last used it, I had to co-ordinate the call and have
Skype open, which is a larger footprint.
But I don’t use an iPad, so that’s the breadth of my input.

Hi
Firstly, I am new to the group and would like some help. I
am also new to I devices.
Ok I now have my new ipad mini, I am completely stuck, I
have it set up with my bluetooth keyboard, I am not sure how
I get apps for it, I specifically would like one for skype,
facebook and radio, also one for writing. Mum had to help me
set-up the keyboard as all the codes were in the leaflets.
What do I do next? I have had a brief look at the applevis
site, there are loads but for now I want to concentrate on
getting important things set-up. Can someone please direct
me? I have had a look at itunes and have registered but
don't know how to proceed. I have also up-dated the firmware
on the ipad because when I got it yesterday, itunes told me
there was an up-date and suggested I up-date. I thought I
may as well get it out the way. One other thing, when I load
voice over, my screen goes blank, it loads screen curton but
if mum needs to help me, she is new to the I devices too, we
have to turn off voice over, I am unable to hear what she is
doing so cannot learn. Is there a way around this?
Regards
Adrien
