Re: [JAWS-Users] latest itunes and selecting individual songs
Highlight the first song that you want to copy. Hold down the Control key, and arrow down through the song list. JAWS will be announcing everything as unselected. When you find another sond that you want to select, press the space bar, and it will also be selected. Go on through the list selecting the songs that you wish to burn, and when finished, press the letter C while still holding down the Control key. You have copied only the songs that you selected.

[JAWS-Users] Getting Stuck in Recently Visited Site List with IE 10 and 11
Hello everyone, I am currently using Internet Explorer 11 with 64 bit Windows 7. Before answering, please read my View settings after the questions because turning off the toolbars doesn't fix this: Sometimes I get stuck in the list of recently visited websites. This list begins with Address and Search using Bing (edit). Sometimes I can shift-tab or control-left-arrow out of this list and back to the webpage, but sometimes I can't. When I can't get out of this list, I try every possible arrow or tab key combination that I can think of, and I am still stuck in the list. Sometimes I can navigate out of this list to the Internet Explorer tabs, and can't get back to the actual web page from its tab. I have looked for Jaws or Internet Explorer keystrokes to get off a website tab and into the page, with no luck. In my View menu: Toolbars: the only check is by Lock the Toolbars. No other toolbar is checked, so I assume they should not be present, but it appears that the list of recent sites is definitely onscreen because I can get stuck in it. Nothing is checked under Explorer Bars. Zoom is 100% Carrot Browsing is on. I have this exact same thing happen on my home computer, also running Windows 7 64 bit. I hope someone can shed some light on this. I need to be productive with Internet Explorer and this problem really slows me down. Thank you for any help you can give. Terrie Mary T.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Getting Stuck in Recently Visited Site List with IE 10 and 11
Yes, it is horrible, I see it almost daily! Jaws 16 and IE 11 and Windows 7 here, the whole internet experience has slowed down, lots of pages hang, sometimes one has to wait for over a minute to get it to load, sometimes it is blank and refresh will help, and it can be a page one has visited many times. I find myself cursing the slowness and my speed seems to be normal when tested. I truly dislike having to wait for several minutes to move from one spot to another, especially when trying to make a purchase. I had to reload amazon about 8 times yesterday, and trust me, I have been there a lot over the years, it only gets worse with each update in my humble opinion, and not on just one computer but my laptop also where it is actually slower, and Jaws sound vacillates between audible and sounding like I have earphones in almost from the speaker when I do not. I do not plan to upgrade to 10 immediately, eventually, probably next year some time, which means I will be on IE 11 for a long time, I note that if someone is here and Jaws is not loaded they don't get stuck, hung up, or have to start completely over, with shutdown and restart of the computer from beginning and making sure no other app is open, even then it exhibits the same behavior. I need to expand my cursing category of words to keep from boring myself throughout this clunky process. Same with Firefox I might add. I am paying for top speed DSL, tired of spending hours, many starts and restarts to find information or shop for what I need. Using the phone, as I have said previously is my very last resort and often I will decide then to not even bother. I don't understand NVDA well enough to see if it works or Window Eyes, although I have both on my computer to learn, play with. So far have not done much with either on the net, Com on JAWS, I pay really good money to keep up to date, I pay nothing for the other two, so I understand that they may not be current or that they may be slower, or that keystrokes I have used since 1998 may not be intuitive for me on other screen reading programs. Frustrated with this particular situation, computer is a year old with mega memory more than 8 Gb, a terabyte hard drive, Windows 7, IE 11, Jaws 16 latest build released, use IE and Outlook 2010 many times a day, other programs occasionally, up-to-date virus and malware protection. If this is something I need to fix in registry, I need to know, in step fashion, what to look for and what I need to change. I don't like regedit all that much, but I do feel that given proper directions I could fix a problem or delete a key, I have been there a couple of times, mostly in Windows XP years ago.

You could get the Home and Student version which will contain Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and One Note for a little over $100. Word by itself will probably cost you this much, I have not checked in years, but the last time I did, the different Office softwares as stand alone applications were running $99.99 each. Then there is the Office 365 route. This is Office 2013 sold on a monthly subscription basis. You will always have the latest version updated automatically, and for $6.95 per month you can get the personal version which will include Word, Excel,and I believe Powerpoint and maybe Outlook? but I am not sure about this one, but you do get 4 of the Office software packages with this subscription. To subscribe to this, go to www.office.com, and sign into your Microsoft account, and there will be an option to purchase Office 365 on the page somewhere. If you decide to purchase an Office suite, then you will find better deals on the internet or maybe at one of the chain type office supply stores. Try www.softwareking.com.

[JAWS-Users] Power 1 2 3 on a 'new' computer?
Hi, I’m using a Focus 14 Blue with an iPhone, and its serial no. is 5.71, so has itself been updated to take advantage of Power 123 feature. I also have it already Bluetooth-paired with an iPhone, where it has worked previously (and will work again, O think) with a laptop. Now, this PC is not itself Bluetooth-enabled. Using JAWS16 on this PC. What do I do to make it accept USB while iPhone accepts Bluetooth? So far, the 1-2-3-+power button doesn’t change from one to the other, but rather from the one I’m using to the Focus status line. I tried the suggestion of setting it up in Bluetooth on my PC, but, thus far, it hasn’t worked. The PC is Windows7, and, as I said, does not itself have Bluetooth (if that’s relevant)? While connected to USB the display will read off the iPhone screen, or, the JAWS screen, but not alternating with the power123 switch between one and the other. Do I need to download the power123 firmware update, again, for this new computer? Even though the display already has the firmware in it?

To make the new account the administrator, highlight the account name, and change the account type from the account type drop down menu. To remove the old account, highlight the account that you want to remove, then tab around until you find the Remove button and click this. All of these steps are done from the Other Accounts window found through the settings charm as described above. If you have any other questions, just post them, hth.

I want to delete the existing profile which is the admin and make the one with sound the admin. is this possible to do without sighted help? email is golden!!
