How do i get a bigger start up disk installed in my mac air?
Currently i have everything saved onto my external hard drive. There is absolutely noting on my mac in terms of memory. I have started doing some video editing and have noticed the computer freezing and working slower. The start up disk is the basic size and i would like to increase the size to help speed up the computer.
How do i do this?
The MacBook Air is not user upgradeable and though some try to do so themselves, that will void any support and service from Apple.
Ty contacting your Apple store genius bar and see if they have the ability to upgrade the solid state storage on an MBA. Or, you can try to find an Apple Authorized Service Provider as they usually can install a new SSD for you.

On my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point in a document, and then continue on to the next paragraph and so on? Thank you. Ed
Welcome to the Apple family!!!!
How can I cause the VO cursor(box) show-up/start?
Press Control-Option and F5. The F5 key is located on the top row of keys 6th key over. This is a toggling "Keyboard Shortcut" for turning VoiceOver on and off.
How can I move the VO cursor to various sentences or paragraphs of an article and have it start reading ... and perhaps even continue reading on to the next paragraph(s) ... even to the end of the article?
How to read a website with VoiceOver
Step 1: Go to the Website
A quick keyboard shortcut is Command-L. This will jump you up to the address bar. Start typing where you want to go. i.e "www.thewebsite.com"
Step 2: Working with Webpage
VoiceOver will automatically start reading the website. You can pause the speech by hitting the 'Control Button'.
If VoiceOver does not being reading the webpage, then you might have to "Interact" with it. If VoiceOver say "HTML Content" then press Control-Option-Space-Down Arrow to interact with the webpage.
Use Control-Option-Right Arrow to move throught the website. This will speak "EVERYTHING" on the page.
Most website that I've found have their articles labeled as 'Heading'. You can jump from heading to heading, by pressing Control-Option-Shift-H.
If you'd like an itemized alphabetical listing of the site, press Control-Option-I
Press Control-Option-Space on the link or article you want to view.
Step 3. Reading from Top to Bottom
Once you found and clicked on the the article/link, use the same 'Heading' command, Control-Option-Shift-H to find the title.
After finding the title, press Control-Option-A will start reading from the title on.
Note: If there are any other items (ads, pictures, etc) it will read those too.
Tip: You might be able to activate a feature called the 'Reader'. The Reader isolates the article and elimanates the ads The keyboard command is Shift-Command-R. You can also find it in the Menu Bar (Command-Option-M) under the word 'View' then 'Show Reader'.
I am using a MACPro with OSX, probably Mavericks 10.9 (where would I look to see if that is the correct information?)
You can find this information under the 'Apple menu' in the Menu Bar. To access the Menu Bar, press Control-Option-M.
Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac. This will open up another window. Use Control-Option-Right Arrow until you hear 'Version'. If you purchased it brand new from Apple within the last six month, more than likely you have Mavericks.

The 'Commands Help' Voiceover Menu. Control-Option-H-H. (hit H twice) is my best friend. It's a searchable VoiceOver Menu with most of the VoiceOver command. Example: You are looking for the 'Read Current Paragraph' keyboard command. Press Control-Option-H-H and then type Paragraph. It will then bring up all the commands with the word paragraph. I believe there are three.
As from the Trackpad Commands, I've copied and pasted below from Appendix A: Commands and Gestures

My sent messages in outlook for mac suddenly stopped syncing with my iPhone and iPad, all other folders work correctly. How can I get them to start syncing again?
You can disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.

Bought ipad today, started up in iTunes as directed, but iPad starts in a language I think is Danish, but have no idea, how do I get it to start in English?
Go to Settings>General>International and you can change the language, the keyboard and the region format in that setting.
Also go to Settings>General>Keyboard>International Keyboard and double check that you selected the correct keyboard layout. -
Just got a new 5c--the apps stopped downloading cause it wasn't connected to wi-fi. How do I get it to start up again?
If you're downloading them as part of restoring and iCloud backup, sometimes turning the device off, then back on will restart the download. Otherwise, you may need to stop the restore (Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, Stop Restoring), then erase the phone and restore the backup again.
