A few iTunes oddities

2013-03-07 Thread Grant Hardy
Hi all,

I've noticed a few oddities with the latest version of iTunes. My
screen reader is JAWS 14, and I have an iPhone 5. Any input on any of
the following would be greatly appreciated.

1) I cannot sync only selected audiobooks to my phone - it's either
all or nothing. If I choose selected, no list of audiobooks appears
from which I can choose.

2) I cannot download past purchased songs or preview any songs in the
store--JAWS simply refuses to click on the relevant controls,
detecting them instead as static text.

3) App updates don't automatically sync from my phone back to
iTunes--I have to select transfer purchases otherwise the older
version of the app remains in my library.

4) I have a very extensive playlist which will not appear in iTunes
Match. It says iCloud, error playlist next to it. So I decided to
create a smart playlist that was identical to the original playlist in
question, but that excluded songs with iCloud status error. That
playlist too, shows iCloud, Error playlist next to it. So I created
the opposite smart playlist--one that only shows songs with iCloud
status error. That playlist is empty, meaning that the songs should
all be fine. Nevertheless, the original playlist absolutely will not
appear on other devices with iTunes Match enabled.

5) I'm wondering if anyone with a carrier-unlocked phone has found an
easy way to get past the congratulations, your device has been
unlocked message that shows upon activation? There is supposed to be
a continue button but it absolutely will not show up for me. Doing
something else (i.e. closing and then reopening iTunes) will cause the
screen to disappear, but I find this disconcerting; I now activate
over the air rather than in iTunes when I do a reset for this reason
alone.

Cheers,

Grant

Hi Grant,

I can't confirm your first point, somebody else brought it up last week and
I checked it out and found the same happens for me on this latest iTunes
update. Probably a good idea if everybody who cares about it will write to
Apple Accessibility as well as Freedom Scientific.

I'll try and check out your second and third point, but I rarely use
playlists and don't use iTunes match at all. As for your fifth point I also
can't comment since I bought my iPhone 4S directly from Apple at full price
and already unlocked.


Regards,
Sieghard
