Hi.  I'm Dave.  What version of jaws do you have?  I have 14 and use itunes
every single day and have an I pad and it works perfectly.  Let me know if
you need help.  You can email me off list and if you have skype I can help
you through there as well.  Thanks.  Let me know.

Subject: [nabs-l] jaws and itunes

Hello,
I know this subject may have come up before, but I wanted to know what you
think.  I did try to post it to a jaws-users list, but my posts were not
getting through so I'll post it here too.  I have had an ipod for the past
four years or so but someone else took care of everything for me.  Now, I
have started exploring itunes using JAWS.  I have found it fairly accessible
when completing basic tasks such as importing a CD or playing my itunes
library, but it seems that itunes does not perform so well when trying to do
things like creating a qlaylist.  I can click the new qlaylist button, but I
cannot actually create a qlaylist.  
I have found a way to use the itunes store, but it is very time consuming.
It takes me 5 minutes to purchase a song from the itunes store because I
actually have to do it through a google search.  Then once I get to the
itunes page, I have to click the view in itunes link from which point I can
click the buy button and then go through the steps, but like I said it's a
long process.  So what I am wondering is: What tricks have you found work
for you in using itunes? I am currently running JAWS 14 with itunes 10.
There are no scripts for itunes 10, but I could get a script for 11 which
would cost me $6.99.  Is it worth the money to get the script and just
relearn 11 or should I try to learn how to do it without a script with 10? I
also have problems with syncing.  The issue is that when you sync your ipod,
there is a little icon that says something like "safely disconnect ipod." 
Does JAWS speak this along automatically or is the something I would have to
ask a sighted person to do? I am getting tired of having to ask someone to
help me every time I want to sync my ipod since I am pretty proficient on
the computer to begin with.  
Anyone who uses JAWS and uses itunes, please share your thoughts,
techniques, keystrokes etc you use to help you navigate itunes
independently.
Thanks,
Kelsey Nicolay
