Sherri, Thank you for the directions. I will give it a try later.
I have the directions documented on how to bring a CD book into iTunes. If anyone wants these directions, just let me know and I'll post them in a message here on the list. My directions include instructions that tell you when to switch back and forth from the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor, but I do not give directions on the commands for doing this.

The support from Jaws 10 is really great. I am using Jaws 9 but installed the demo of Jaws 10 so the support for iTunes was there. I was thinking of putting together a little tutorial for new users of iTunes but don't know if any are already available that go into the details. Anyway here is how I add songs (and books) to the iPod manually: Adding files manually to iPod Use control comma to go to the preferences in iTunes or choose it from the Edit menu. When you are on the General tab use the right arrow to move across the tabs. Jaws says use control tab but that does not work. After you get to Apple TV it seems like you are at the end but do another right arrow and after a time the Devices tab will appear. Tab to Automatically sync iPod and uncheck it so you can do it manually. Then tab to oK. To add songs or books do the following: Focus on the name of your iPod in the source list after you have connected it. Create a new playlist and call it whatever you like (You can delete the playlist later if you wish after the songs appear in your Music folder on the iPod.) . Go down your source list and make sure it shows right in the list following the name of your iPod so you know you created it on the iPod and not in the iTunes library. Now it is a matter of choosing the music you want to add and copying it to the clipboard. If you are starting out and want to add a whole playlist just go to the name of the playlist and tab twice to put you in the list of songs and choose Select all from the Edit menu or Control A. Then I choose Copy from the Edit menu or the Applications menu just to be sure. I think using the Control A checks all the items but to be sure press the applications key and see if "Uncheck selection" is listed. It took me a while before I discovered the many things that can be done by using the choices in the Applications menu so check it out carefully. Now go to the empty playlist you made on your iPod. Tab twice so you are in the empty list area. Choose Paste from the Edit menu. The songs should be copied into the playlist and onto the iPod. Some people have luck focusing on the Music folder or the name of the playlist and doing the paste but it has never worked for me. I have very good luck pasting into an empty playlist. Adding the songs takes time. I think you can check on the progress by using the Jaws cursor to read the info at the top of the window. I can also hear the computer working. After it has pasted all the songs into the empty playlist on the iPod you can go to the music folder of the iPod and tab to the search box to search for one of the titles just to be sure it got there. When you do the syncing manually you need to use the "Remove hardware Safely" feature on your computer or I think an eject command appears in one of the menus. Anyway you need to be sure not to disconnect while it is still adding music. One trick I noticed when adding a book in mp3 format was that after I copied the files to the regular clipboard (not in iTunes) I just created a playlist on the iPod and pasted the files directly there instead of pasting them into iTunes and then onto the iPod. It was a good shortcut since I don't need those files in iTunes anyway.

Under the General tab there are a series of check boxes that allow you to pick what you see in your sources list. I did not see anything about selecting what to sync. Let me know if you find anything else.

Those are found in the edit menu, of all places, I think. Try arrowing around in the preferences from page to page and there should be an option about syncing. When I fully wake up (LOL), I will investigate this some more.

I've been using iTunes 8 and JAWS 10 for only the past few weeks. I've been successful with syncing my iPod automatically, importing music CD and books, and joining the book tracks and getting it set up so that a bookmark is set when I stop the book. I would like to sync my iPod manually. I do not want to have everything in my iTunes library sent to my iPod every time I sync. I would like to choose whether or not to send the entire Music and audio book lists, and select only the play lists I want. I see where you can check and uncheck the box allowing you to manually sync, but I cannot find where to be able to check and uncheck with lists to bring over to the iPod. I've tried looking around with the JAWS cursor, but can't find anything to check or uncheck. Any light you can shed on this topic will be appreciated.

The accessibility that Freedom Scientific and Apple have added is really nice; you can navigate the esencial areas of the program with no difficulty. Like anything else, it does take some learning, but what doesn't? If there are specific questions I can help you with, let me know. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Chris Judd Sent: Monday, January 19, 2009 1:49 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] itunes question I am considering getting itunes, and I was wondering if anyone has used it with jaws 10 and what are your thoughts?
