OK, I've figured it out. Things are slightly different on Mac and windows, so I'll give both sets of instructions for completeness.
On the Mac, you can actually click on the price, however the VoiceOver move mouse command (voKeys+command+f5) will not move the mouse to that spot for some reason. VoiceOver in deed says "moving mouse", but my sighted assistant told me that the mouse did not move. You can then use vo+shift+spaceBar to click it. So, the only way around this is to be sure the "mouse tracks VoiceOver cursor" option in VoiceOver utility is checked. In Windows, The problem is that clicking exactly on the price column is not the answer. There is apparently a graphic (bitmapped text) which says "buy this item" or some such just to the right of the price itself, in between the price and the genre. With Jaws, you move the Jaws cursor along the row containing the song you want to purchase (you can read by word if you like) and when you get to the price column you move three or 4 characters to the right of the end of the price. It will say "blank" each time and there is a fairly wide range (somewhere from 3 to 7 characters to the right of the end of the price) which can be successfully clicked. Hope this helps someone. I was tearing out my hair for three days trying to purchase stuff. ugh. -- Rich ----- Original Message ----- From: "Esther" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 06, 2007 11:31 PM Subject: Re: Purchasing Music Via ITunes Hi Rich, >OK, when it asks whether you want to download the song, where is the damn yes >button?

In the current verion of iTunes, after selecting the track, you have to enter your iTunes account info to go ahead. Use item chooser menu and select "Apple ID"; VO-keys down arrow and type in your ID. Use item chooser menu and select "Password"; VO-keys down arrow and type in your password, then carriage return. Actually, you probably don't have to do all of the item chooser menu entries. If you were logged into your iTunes account, you'll automatcially have your Apple ID user name filled in, and you'll automatically be in the password field where you can type and carriage return. (If you VO-keys up arrow you'll here "Password", indicating the prompt for this field). And if you typed in your password authorization recently you won't even have to do this again -- iTunes will authorize your purchase. There's also a "remember password" check box there. Here's how it works for me. I'd check your cursor tracking settings under the VoicerOver utility (VO-keys + F8 key to bring up the utility; under the Navigation tab look at the options for cursor tracking). I have Mouse Cursor tracks VoiceOver cursor checked. Then for purchases in the iTunes Store I interact with the Songs Outline, and VO-keys right arrow to the price column of the track I want to purchase. On my laptop I use VO-keys shift space to make the purchase, but clicking the mouse at this point also works. You'll have to type in your iTunes password to complete the transaction, assuming you have an account already created. I'm logged in, so I just type in my password and carriage return. What happens if you try a practice purchase on one of the "free" weekly iTunes songs listed on the macrumors forum thread that links to these in the iTunes store: http://forums.macrumors.com/printthread.php?t=265572 The first entry links are for this week's free downloads, which will expire (i.e., cost money) when the next free downloads appear next Tuesday. Click on one of the links from your browser and your focus will shift to the web page in the iTunes store for that entry and you will be in the Songs Outline. I'd practice with these free "purchases" since they work exactly like real purchase check-outs but don't cost you anything. If you forget the link, just google "macrumors forum free iTunes 2007" and you'll get to the thread listing each week's free iTunes. Since many of these songs have only one track in the iTunes listing, you can check that your focus does not jump down 3 or 4 rows. HTH Cheers, moriond
