A Note from Michael please note: I have as far as possible with out changing the text, reproduced this manual for braille users who wish to print it in braille. Due to the fact that there were literally hundreds of visual symbols and odd characters, even after converting from pdf, I have changed a few things. For ease of reading I have put dashes between menu options, as the symbols used in the manual may interfere with normal braille printing. I have also left, for sighted users who may work with blind people, (visually impaired) for those folks who prefer that term, people so they can refer sighted people to a printed page in the hard copy of the manual. I have also left two returns between any web sites mentioned so we can easily search for them. In many cases, there are numbers and sub-headings with strange symbols in. I have deleted these and as far as possible replaced them with numbers. Some of these may be slightly out of sequence, due to the fact that there were lots of them and the convection process took out every single space between words! Another thing to note, this manual isn’t for the accessibility products that come with your apple, it is merely the actual operating manual of the machine. A lot of the information is useful only to sighted users or those who can see the screen. However, there is a lot of stuff that may come in handy. Also, I haven’t put in the list of supported telepone numbers because they converted all over the place andI don’t have a sighted person who can sort them all out. The same goes unfortunately for the contents page as well. I take no responsibility for any inaccuracies and have done my very best to faithfully produce the manual. Finally, I haven’t as yet, transcribed all the safety blurb at the end of the manual. I have left the web address at the end of the document where you can download or look at this if desired. Michael Gerwat. email: mike.gerwat@gmail.com if you want any information. It’s taken an age to do this. I’ve done in on a braille display as I am DeafBlind with two cochlear implants. Please enjoy. macbook pro manual.rtf

I just got a macbook air for my birthday. I’m looking forward to learning to use it. Thanks for the helpful info.
You are very welcome. I’m glad that the information provided here is helpful to you. That’s why I have taken the time to maintain this site.

hey John, I have a question about apple mail. I sent a message and now, every time I open mail, it is there, and it it resends it also. How can I make the message go away? At least, it is sending a copy to me. I’m not sure what is up with that.
With this message, is the to field set to yourself and is the message appearing in your sent items folder each time it is sent? You can also check your mailbox list and see if an Outbox is visible. If the message is present, just delete it from the Outbox.
I’ll try that. I did all this messing with email before i listened to your tutorial yesterday LOL. Sorry. You have a great web site. If I need Apple Accessories, I’ll remember to click the link on your site so that you can make a little money. I can’t thank you enough for suc a great service.
Thank you very much. Please feel free to write me directly at john@macfortheblind.com should you need any additional help.
