Hi,
Hi there, a couple of questions for itunes users.
1. Has anyone had trouble accessing the contents of the about
dialog? I went to check the version of itunes installed, and
couldn't access anything useful aside from a close button, any ideas?
The iTunes about dialog doesn't seem to be accessible. There's a
general way that you can check the version of all software installed
on your Computer by using System Profiler in your Utilities folder.
You can bring it up either by navigating to it in your Utilities
folder (Command-Shift-U in Finder, then press "S-Y" and VO-space to
open it) or you can get to it by
using VO-M and arrowing down to "About this Mac", then VO-right to the
"More Info" button and press (VO-space). Interact with the Contents
table (VO-Shift-Down Arrow), then press "S-O" to navigate to
"Software". VO-down arrow to select "Applications", stop interacting
(VO-Shift-Up Arrow), and VO-right arrow to the Item list table and
Interact. Press "I-T-U" to navigate to "iTunes". VO-right-arrow to
get the version number and last modification date. Most applications
will be in the application directory, but if you want to find out the
exact location, stop interacting and VO-down arrow past the splitter.
You'll get complete summary information on the application, it's
version, last modified date, and location. This works to provide
information on any software application you've installed on your
system, incidentally, not just the ones from Apple. Use Command-Q to
quit System Profiler when done.
second, how does one go about deleting or moving songs to an ipod
connected? If you arrow up and down the songs table, nothing seems
to speak here, and all the commands in the edit menu seem to be
dimmed.
This depends on how you've set up your iPod. You can move content
onto an iPod by using VoiceOver drag and drop (e.g., move a playlist
onto the iPod device in the Source Table). If you have your iPod set
to sync content, then everything will be dimmed, because you can only
remove content by unchecking these items from the list of things to be
synched.
HTH
Cheers,
Esther
