Rose, John Justice here. I have a suggestion which might work if you are using ITunes on a computer. There is a company which has developed a set of scripts that make it easier to navigate ITunes. The web site is below. It costs $10 but it's worth every penny in my opinion.
www.blindtunes.net I use ITunes only for music and many of our other members do much more with it. But some of these scripts do things like creating a list of options, navigating directly to the Search Window or to the ITunes store and so on. It's certainly worth a try. The good thing is that once you buy the original software, any future updates are free and the company definitely does try to keep up with the changes in ITunes. I don't know if there's a version which works on a phone.

I'd like to see what I wish to see when I open the program instead of having to tab through a ton of places that I will never use on the computer, I listen to music using my iPhone and speakers, not the computer. I do, however, wish to get most updates on the computer, and I do wish to have backups in iCloud and on my computer, occasionally, usually weekly at least and I did prefer to remove applications I was no longer using the computer, which is now more convoluted than it was. If it were not for the syncing capability and the backups, I'd probably never connect the phone to a computer. As to the search capability, it seems broken to me and any time I can use a real keyboard to type something in I am more satisfied, I can use the phone but I still prefer a keyboard with good key travel and size. Stop treating me like a moron because I don't see things the same way you do Please! We should be able to disagree without putting one another down.

Works great here, don't know what your problem is! I guess since it won't make you dinner its bad. come on, really! do we have to complain about every little thing about a program. I thought this was a list to ask and answer Jaws related questions about using Jaws with windows computers. the latest iTunes 12.225 works extremely well and is fast with Jaws. Check your view settings, and change if necessary... -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Sent: Friday, August 14, 2015 11:27 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] iTunes latest 12.225 update, good news amen! -----Original Message----- From: Rose Combs Sent: Friday, August 14, 2015 7:59 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] iTunes latest 12.225 update, good news I want backups on the computer as well as the cloud. The interface in my humble opinion is clunky, much worse now that it was two months ago. I love good changes, iTunes 12 in any version is horrible.

I still have to press way too many tabs, and F6 for me rotates between about three different things, none of which I generally want to see. I use it mostly for backups and until 12 for searches. I still think it could be improved with keystrokes to get you out of music and into what one really wants to see, in my case, battery status when phone is plugged in, ability to know if there are updates, info on last backup and ability to perform them, and search like we had in 11 that went directly to the app store and where we could type in a phrase and see reasonable results. In other words, I want my side bar and my apps that show up in a list ... but that is too much to ask, the keep making accessibility worse and more worse in my humble opinion. Apple Music also is still as confusing as ever, especially the FOR YOU tab. Makes absolutely no sense and it never seem to remain after you attempt to select what you like or love and never deletes what you do not like. Come on Apple, stop breaking things, or leave a help guide to explain things. It is 110 degrees here, I am already too hot. Yes, phone is updated also.
