Hello Everyone, I am going to cross-post this to both the V iPhone and Mac Visionaries mailing lists for those who, like me, use both iTunes for Windows and Mac.
First, let me state that I just spent the past hour working with iTunes 12.7 on two Windows 10 PCs in conjunction with an iPhone 6 S Plus, running iOS 11, with the latest version of Jaws on both computers. Second, there are some initial video driver problems with iTunes when Jaws is running. Therefore, I suggest that you launch iTunes, at least once, without Jaws running-using, perhaps, Narrator, as the screen reader. After that, you should be good to go with Jaws running with iTunes 12.7. This was my experience on two Windows 10 PCs. Third, be aware that some Jaws commands, including the Application button, do not work on selected items in iTunes 12.7. There are easy workarounds but I just want you to know that if you encounter problems, it's probably not your fault. Fourth, be sure to explore iTunes 12.7 for Windows using the F6, Tab, and arrow keys to gain a better understanding of the somewhat new layout of the application. Fifth, As in the previous version of iTunes, selecting the Summary tab, when your iOS device is connected to iTunes will display the same options as in iTunes 12.6 including the ability to configure accessibility settings. Sixth, In order to add/or remove custom ringtones to and from your device, you must make certain that the Manually Manage Videos and Music checkbox option is, checked. If you have to place a checkmark in the checkbox, be sure to hit the Apply button to save this change, okay? Okay, now to the fun stuff. In iTunes 12.7 for Windows, it is no longer necessary to actually use the file menu to import ringtones. In fact, attempting to do so will gain you nothing. (smile). So, to add a ringtone to your device, using Windows Explorer, copy the file to memory using the standard windows command of Control+C. Next, with iTunes 12.7 in focus, your iOS device attached to your PC and selected, using standard jaws navigation commands, place focus on the Tones tab, located in the iTunes Sidebar. Oh, make sure that you have iTunes set to display the Sidebar. Now, once you have the Tones tab selected, press the Tab key on your keyboard until you land in the list view of currently installed custom ringtones. Then, simply use the paste command, Control+V, to add the ringtone to your device. By the way, you will notice that, as you tab around the tones area, you will land on an actions button. You can use this button to act on the currently selected ringtone, such as playing it. To delete a ringtone, you must place focus on the particular ringtone you wish to remove from your device, and press the delete key. Neither the Application button nore the Jaws right-mouse click will work, at this time. Even the Actions button will not offer a delete choice. The only way to remove the ringtone, at the time of this writing is to either press the Delete key on the keyboard, or press the right mouse button on your mouse and/or touch pad. Okay, I'm exhausted so I'm going to sign off for now. Good Luck and Happy Ring Toning. (smile) Mark -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
