Well I use iTunes the most for purchasing apps, just seems to work better for me. I then sync by plugging in the phone if it is not already connected, always works.
When searching for the apps I have the sidebar activated in 11, move to store, shift tab back to the search box, type in what I want for example "tap tap see" press enter wait until I hear the sound, then press F6, wait, I think it already lands where I want, if there is a list that starts out with sounds or artist or something I use the h to skip down to the iPhone section and then down arrow until I see the app I want, then I move to the buy or free button, press and voila, it comes down and when the computer makes it sync sound complete, if I check my phone it is there as well as in my apps list in iTunes. I am no expert in iTunes, I don't know a lot about making play lists, ripping CDs since mine were already on the computer when I first installed iTunes but searching, or going down lists of artists or songs to find the one I want to hear is simple. I am not sure why everyone has such a hate relation with the product. Sure it could be better with a screen reader but I have had to work with much worse. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Tom Lange Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 10:42 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Installing an app on an iDevice Hi Lauren, I dpurchase all of my apps using the App Store on my iPhone. I've never ever used iTunes to purchase or install an app on my iPhone and absolutely refuse to use iTunes for those purposes; it just hasn't been necessary, at least in my experience. While in the App Store on my iPhone, after locating an app that I want to purchase, I typically start at the place in the top left portion of the screen where the app's name is displayed, then do a single-finger flick right until I find the app's price and double-tap on it. That button will then change to a button labeled Install. Double-tapping the Install button will start the installation process. I may get prompted for my Apple ID and password; often the Apple ID is already filled in for me. If so, the password field will be editable and I fill it in using the onscreen keyboard or my attached bluetooth keyboard. Right above the onscreen keyboard ar OK and Cancel buttons. Double-tap OK and installation will begin. If installation is apt to take a while, as in the case of large apps, I'll tap the Home button and will be placed on the screen where the newly-installed app is going to be located. I flick my way around the screen until I find it, and when I do, I can then hear VoiceOver tell me how installation is progressing, in much the way that a Windows screen reader such as JAWS or Window-Eyes will read a progress bar. When installation is complete, I'll hear VoiceOver say the app's name followed by the word New, and the app is ready to load. I hope this helps. Like I said, make it easy on yourself, do yourself a favor and do all your app purchases on the device itself rather than messing around with iTunes.
