Actually, once I understood some of the access issues even Jaws 9 doesn't do
badly. Something has the bad habit of forcing focus to a list of songs from
somewhere and keeping focus on sources requires patience and tenacity but it
is manageable once you understand what it is supposed to do. Getting it to
do it is a bit challenging. I didn't try the Apple shop though.
In fairness, iTunes isn't all that nice to sighted people either. My son has
had a Shuffle for probably 5 years now and didn't realize that it is
possible to set iTunes not to launch every time he plugs into his Mac to
charge the player. Mind you, his version of iTunes is quite a bit older and
may not have that facility.
Off topic, I have given him the iTouch, lack of Voiceover capability doesn't
hinder him any.

I think, that JFW 11 and JFW 12 are working great with iTunes version 10.

It started as a question about iTunes and Jaws and options which were
apparently not there but turned out not to be there because iTunes
recognized the equipment did not support those options. I initiated the
thread full in the knowledge that Jaws is not the screen reader of choice
for accessing that application but without an alternative method of
access and fully cognitive of the sensitivity of the moderators to any
suggestion that Jaws may be wanting in any aspect of performance. Many of
us have invested thousands of dollars in Jaws versions over the years and
appreciate the technical support of other Jaws users provided by such a
list which in this case included a link to a podcast, the first part of
which was very helpful in orienting me to the use of Jaws with iTunes, a
resource I would otherwise been unaware of.
I regret drawing the scrutiny of the moderators to any of those who were
so helpful to me in achieving my goals around the use of Jaws and iTunes
and the subsequent information about those devices appropriate to it's
use.
Please accept my responsibility for the transgression and the offense to
the List's sensibilities. I probably should have known better.

I'm not seeing the relationship to Jaws here, so take this conversation
off-list.
Refer to the list guidelines, and the list name.

You can only enable voice over on the 4th gen iPod Touches. The third
genn you have to down load it to the iPod and then enable it.
A look at the apple page can give you more info on the iPod you have
at hand, because each one and size is limited in voice over features.
At 01:41 PM 12/27/2010, you wrote:
I was given an iPod Touch to learn the interface and such, not a brand
new one.
So far I have managed to install iTunes, got the QuickTime installed
and apparently running then figured out how to disable it from
grabbing all media on the Web. Then for some reason the Apple Mobile
Service wouldn't start but I now have that resolved. I haven't
discovered how to enable the Voiceover.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
