Hi I just turn on my Macbook Air 2024 and it was working fine but then it just stopped working and none of my keys work (I'm using a regular external keyboard) but I do have Siri enabled and it says I have voice typing enabled. What should I do? Siri is only listening in the background and takes some time to get up and running with all of your Mac events. If you can't see the Apple logo with Siri enabled, you may need to reboot your computer and force it to reinitialize and retrain itself.

I have my home wifi turned off in the network settings on my macbook air so when I go to the apple store to get it repaired they're unable to connect to my wifi.e. They told me to reboot it as the last resort. I did and now I can't connect to any wifi network! Should I reset it again?

You are correct to reboot, but I'd only reboot it if your MacBook has a solid battery, and is powered off at the moment.

What is the shortcut for voice typing on a Mac?

The VoiceOver feature will let you easily type with your voice.

If you're using an older Mac (Mac OS X 10.5 and earlier) or if you don't have an upgraded computer, this might be the perfect tool for you.

VoiceOver was introduced with Mac OS X 10.5 and offers a unique feature for users with hearing loss: You can dictate what you want to type, and it types it for you. Instead of clicking on a button, you simply speak what you want to type, and it's done.

Why use VoiceOver? Because you may be in situations where you're working on something that is difficult to read, such as working on a Web page that requires a lot of scrolling or on some other kind of project that you may be using a touch screen with. Or perhaps you have a special need for reading large documents or working with email messages.

VoiceOver also provides users with a different set of tools to help them interact with their computer. It provides a number of accessible alternatives for performing tasks. For example, instead of using the trackpad to move a mouse pointer, VoiceOver provides alternatives that are quicker.

Note: For more information about VoiceOver, go to www.apple.com/accessibility/voicover/ or read the VoiceOver User Guide.

Figure 1: Using VoiceOver in Safari.e. Before using VoiceOver to type, you need to have a few things ready: You need to have an updated version of Mac OS X 10.6 or later installed on your computer. (More on that later.)

Your computer must have a built-in or USB microphone. You need to have at least two-thirds of your system keyboard accessible. (On the keyboard, all of the keys except F7 through F12 are available to you.)

If you have an external mouse connected, it should be disabled. You can disable it in the System Preferences Mouse (see Figure 2).

If you have a trackpad, it's usually disabled in System Preferences Mouse. (Click the Trackpad tab.) You can disable it there, but you'll need to re-enable it when you return to typing.

Figure 2: Disable the trackpad in the Mouse pane. To turn on VoiceOver, you need to press the VoiceOver button at the right side of the screen.

How to do voice command on macbook air?

I would like to use voice commands on my macbook air.

I have the latest version of mac os x 10.11.1 . What is the best way to do this?
I have seen videos and tutorials where there is no reference to how to do voice commands on macbook air, but it seems to be a popular option. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm guessing that what you're after is called VoiceOver, and not Siri.e. If you install that, you'll have a button that looks like this in the menubar: The easiest way to make the VoiceOver menu available is to turn it on by pressing Y. You might want to learn how to use the keyboard better, first. I'm also not sure if the microphone is still accessible to you through OSX. I have an MBP that doesn't seem to be working, but I'm able to see it and adjust volume through the headphone jack.
