I am just getting started with iTunes. Even version 8.2.1 seems hard to get
it to do what I want to do at this point. I noticed that you mention that
you should be able to get a preview in the store by performing a mouseover.
When JAWS is focused on a song in the store, have you attempted the
"activate mouseover" keystroke? On a desktop keyboard, that would be the
Control + Insert + NumPad Enter. I am not sure how this differs from
hovering the mouse over an object by routing the JAWS cursor to the PC
cursor with the Insert + NumPad Minus. I would try both.

I tried the system access. It seems to be working exactly the same as jaws
when I am browsing the itunes store.
It won't let me mouseover a song, so I don't know how you're supposed to
be previewing it.
It is probably me it just seems that the itunes is workign the same as it
was in jaws. It's not reading link link link over and over towards the
beginning of the page, but other then that it's about the same. Maybe i'm
doing or have something set wrong.
Also, I know this is unjaws related, but where'd the put the free on
itunes page?
thanks,

Prio to the development of VoiceOver, Apple took no steps towards making
their computers accessible. Rather, they relied on third party
developers to write programs for accessibility. This is similar to how
Microsoft has interfaced with screen reader developers. However,
Microsoft and companies like Freedom Scientific and GW Micro have tended
to work more closely together than Apple and the previous developers of
screen readers for Apple computers.
When the last of these third party developers announced that it would no
longer be developing or upgrading its screen reading program, Apple
needed to address the void that would be created. It needed to do so,
because of increasing criticism of its hands off policy and because it
needed to have its products accessible to meet contracting requirements
for many governemental entities. At least in part, that is why Apple
undertook development of VoiceOver.
Before the development of VoiceOver, Apple wanted to attract those who
used Windows to its Ipod products. That is why it developed both a Mac
version and eventually a Windows version. Again there were many motives,
but much had to do with the economics of the music industry.
By reverting to form, in this instance, I suggest that with respect othe
Windows version of Itunes, apple is seeking to force the screen reader
developers to play ball their way rather than building a program/site
that conforms readily to Windows standard controls and structures. Why
they are doing this, I don't have a clue.
I think that if you'd like to continue this discussion, we've reached the
point where it should go off list
I thank the moderators indulgence to this point.

Hmmm. Enteresting...So what do you mean by
reversion to form windows? Tey are trying to make itunes 9.0 look more
like
a windows program?
And by apple giving stuff to third party, you mean someone else designes
he
programs and then apple puts there name on them?

The basic operating systems are very different. To program for
accessibility in one environment does not mean that it will be
programmed
correctly for another.
Apple, it seems to me, has a history of pushing development of solutions
to third parties. VoiceOver is a departure from this approach, but it
feels as if their approach to the changes in Itunes 9 is a reversion to
form for Windows based programs.

It is also the fault of the programmers who do not write cstandard code
that can be accessed by screen readers.

It is accessible using a mac with voice over, but on windows with
wineyes or jaws expect some parts not to be accessible. That is the
fault of the screen readers and what they support.

Hi,
I have another question about itunes.
If I uninstall it to go back to itunes 8, won't it remove my itunes
folder where all my music is at?
Also, all over the apple website, it is claiming that itunes 9.0 is
fully accessibale. They say to use window eyes that is not much
different from Jaws.
So, if apple is claiming it's accessible then how come the itunes
store isn't accessible. I mean they are saying on there website that
the store is easier designed for the visually impaired. Is it just
that we don't know how to use the store?
I mean if they are claiming itunes 9 is accessible then it should
be. I really don't wanna switch back unless I have to.

Go into your iTunes folder and copy the "iTunes Library.itl" file to
your
clipboard and put it somewhere. Then when you do manage to get the
older
iTunes installed, paste it over the existing iTunesLibrary.itl file it
will
create...unless your library is already there in iTunes first.

I am not sure if you can copy and paste. If you were using the version
that
was released before 9.0 then it would take you like maybe five mins to
sign
up.
How do I go back to the previous version of itunes. If I uninstall
itunes
and reinstall old version, won't that delete my library?

I installed iTunes 9 yesterday. I am not familiar with the iTunes
layout
and operation yet. It seems fairly complicated. I was having
trouble
using iTunes 9 and saw others were having difficulty too. So I
decided
to
revert to a version known to work. At least until I learned how to
get
around in iTunes. With a little searching, I found the following
official
Apple download link for iTunes 8.2.1:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL928
It took me 3 hours to sign up for an iTunes account, even with
version
9!
What is the deal with edit boxes and combo boxes in iTunes? Is copy
and
paste illegal?

Hi,
I installed the update! I do not like it. You can buy stuff from
the
store, but it is kinda complicated, and I can't figure out how to
listen
to the songs. Like, to preview them.
You go to the itunes store and then in the search box, type
something
like "Boys like girls." If you know the name of the song like
"She's
got
a boyfriend now." Type in "boys like girls she's got a boyfriend
now."
If
you know the name of the album type the album name "Love Drunk"
for
example or the artist and album "Boys like girls love drunk."
Then press enter. Next tab till you hear the album you want. Press
enter.
hen it will say something like View full album. Press enter then
ctrl+end
to go to the end of the screen. Press tab and you should hear it
say
"buy
love drunk." For example and then tab again it it will say "Buy
Two
is
better than one featuring Taylor Swift." and I am assuming then
you
press
enter on the song you wanna buy. It sould take you through the
whole
album.
If I can figure out more, I will let you know. And, I was just
using
that
artist/album as an example on how to use the itunes store.

Hi everyone,
I believe on Tuesday or sometime this week Apple released a new
version
of
iTunes, iTunes 9. Has anyone downloaded this and had any
success,
particularly in the iTunes Store? I did update and now I'm
trying
to
figure
out how to use the thing.
Thanks,
