Sieghart, I do have this itunes version and am not seeing the accessibility improvements here yet. I am running latest everything—windows 10, jaws 18 and itunes. Can you suggest anything I need to do? Thanks.

For those who posted about having a worse experience, are we talking about the same version? I just opened iTunes on my PC at work and it said there was an update. I am running Windows 7 on this PC with the latest update of Jaws 18, so I'm not sure if it's the latest Jaws 18 update or the iTunes update which fixed a lot of issues, but since Jaws didn't mention iTunes I assume it is iTunes. The version I just downloaded is 12.5.4.42. I connected my iPhone and I see full accessibility restored when it comes to selecting and syncing apps, music and tones. This has been broken for a long time, but now Jaws once again goes into list views of artists, albums and genres and each artist, album and genre has a checkbox which I can check by pressing the spacebar, I can then tap to Apply and activate it and everything I selected will sync. I tried it by selecting 5 artists and 1 album from an artist I hadn't selected and it synced 185 songs, so you can actually mix and match in that you could select a particular genre like POP, then you could select a number of artists from other genres and albums from yet other genres or from artists where you don't want to sync all albums you may have. With apps I found that Jaws read the app in the list and it said "Installed" for apps which I didn't have on my iPhone and "Remove" for apps I did have on my phone. If I went to an app which said "Install" and I pressed the spacebar it then said "To be Installed", if the app said "Remove" then it would say "To be removed". The only thing is that if you are way down in the list say at the letter S or T and you press the spacebar on an app to install or remove it, focus jumps all the way back up to the top. But once you use page down and down arrow to get back to where you were the item was correctly marked and once again activating Apply would install/remove whatever you flagged. With tones the list of all my ringtones was once again read by Jaws and again spacebar would check or uncheck the tones and activating the Apply button would sync them. I didn't have time yet to look at iTunes File Transfer and my Windows 10 laptop is at home so I couldn't try it there. But this is a huge accessibility improvement. When I'm in the music library and have the column browser activated I still have to refresh the screen a lot for Jaws to read my selection as I arrow through genres, artists and albums, but it also does no longer say "L1" with each item and all in all this is great news. I assume that the changes are with iTunes which goes to show that it is not the fault of Windows or the screenreader.

I can use it but I think its functionality is very poor.

Is anyone else having this problem? When I open iTunes, Jaws reads the selection that is selected when the program opens. Any key I hit now keeps giving me a "invalid script call to " whatever key I press. If I press the tab key, then Jaws says "Invalid script call to the tab key", and then it spells out "the tab key". Anyone else having this problem? Also, iTunes doesn't open when I connect my iPhone anymore, but my iPhone 6 says it is charging, so I know the cable is ok. I get the above error in iTunes even if I open iTunes when my phone isn't connected. Any thoughts? I did have Blind Tunes installed, and I tried uninstalling them to see if they were conflicting somehow, but no luck! Thanks in advance for your help!
