    Mac help anyone?

    I'm a total dur with computers and can chat here and go shopping online and that's about it. So, don't assume any prior knowledge of anything...

    We've got a new Mac and it's so idiot/Rhona proof that I've had no problems. However, our little girl smashed her little fists all over the keyboard earlier and it's 'gone a bit funny' since.

    The problems are; funny black boxes appearing when I type something; pictures on websites not appearing, and a Stephen Hawking-type voice talking over some websites.

    Can anyone help? It's a bit annoying!

    It may sound like a cliche, but have you tried switching it off and on again?

        Not sure about the first 2 but try this for the talking web sites:

        Click on apple icon (top left corner)
        Click on 'System Preferences'
        Look for 'system' area (mine is 4 section down)
        Click on 'Speech' or Microphone icon
        Second line down should read: Speakable Items - on / off
        Change to off if applicable
        Quit System Preferences

        Like I said - no idea for the black cursor but that might be under system preferences too - in fact check the cursor settings
        Also the web thing sounds like picture blocking but I can't remember how to change that.

        Also if this works, let me know please. Mine daughter also loves the apple - gets it to do all sorts that I never knew existed - bless!

        Hope it helps.
