|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Mac is talking to me....??? Debra L Rothenberg, Photographer New York | NY | USA | Posted: 2:35 PM on 06.12.11 ->> can anyone help? My computer is talking to me...I click on a folder and it says the folders name, I burn a disc, it's telling me I am burning a disc, etc. It never did this before and just started...does anyone know why and how to stop it, other than hitting the volume button?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (2) | Huh?

That should do it.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

If you open Universal Access, you will see that Voice Over is toggled on and off by Command-F5.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
