Hi Annette, Give these steps a try, they work for me. I wrote them yesterday, and as far as creating playlists, you should be able to do that from your phone as well.
These instructions were written for ITunes version 12.5.4.42, using Jaws version 16. Once ITunes has been configured to automatically sync with your phone when connected , follow these steps to move music or ring tones to your phone: Music: NOTE: Make sure that the files you select are not .wav format, While the IPhone will play these files, they are far too large to transfer to the phone since they will rapidly use up available space on the phone. .mp3 would be a better choice,. 1. Select individual songs or an album folder, and copy it to the clipboard. 2. Press enter on your user folder name shortcut on the Desktop. 3. Once in your user folder, locate your Music folder and press enter. 4. From within your Music folder, press the letter I to move to the ITunes folder, then press enter to open it. 5. Press the letter I again to locate the ITunes Media folder, then press enter to open it. 6. The first folder in this list is: Automatically Add to ITunes, so press the spacebar to select the folder, then press enter to open it. 7. Paste your selections from the clipboard here. Note: If pasting individual files, I would make sure that none of the file names are the same or have like track numbers in the file name. 8. Once you have pasted your files here you can close the folder with Alt F4. 9. Now, from the Desktop press enter on the ITunes shortcut, to open the ITunes program. 10. Once ITunes has loaded, plug your phone into your computer, and syncing should begin. When syncing has finished, you should hear a tone. Now check your Music app on your phone to make sure the songs are there. The process for moving ring tones to your phone are the same as above, making sure that the files you are using for ring tones are of the correct format,(.m4r) and no longer than 30 seconds in length. No matter what format your original file is, you will need to convert it to M4A first. To convert files to the proper format, do the following: 1. Open Pazera Free Audio Extractor Portable, and press enter on theAudioExtractor.exe. 2. Next, once the program has opened, press the Alt key, and right arrow to the File List menu, then arrow to "Add files to list", and press enter. 3. This will place you in a standard "Open", dialogue where you can browse for your files. 4. Once you have found your file, or files, then tab to the "OPEN" button and spacebar it. 5. Now, you will be in a dialogue for choosing your output format, and your file or files should be selected, so tab once to choose the format. 6. Arrow to m4a, then press the Alt key to open the menus, and select "convert checked files", from the file menu, and press enter. The conversion process will start, and Jaws should announce the progress. 7. When conversion has completed, you can close the program with Alt F4. 8. Go to the folder where your original file is located and you should find your converted file or files. 9. Once you have located your files, you will need to change the file extension, by doing the following: A. With the file name highlighted, press the F2 key to rename the file. B. Now, move to the end of the file name, and delete the "A", from the end of the file extension, and replace it with the letter "R" and press enter to close the dialogue. Do this for each file you want to use. 10. Finally, use the steps above for moving music to your phone to move your ring tones. HTH, Rick Justice Tomorrow's another day, another way! and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Annette Carr" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2017 12:47 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Accessing iTunes with JAWS18 Hi All iTunes Users, iTunes is driving me crazy. I am trying to add new content to my iTunes library so that I can make a Play List and then put that Play List on my iPhone. I am using the latest version of iTunes and JAWS18 on a Windows7 machine. I find that sometimes using Tab or Control+Tab or F6 all do the same thing for navigating, and other times they do not. When I land on most buttons, JAWS announces to use the Space Bar to select, but I find that if it is going to let me select it, I will have to use the Enter key. I thought that when you selected Add to Library from the File Menu iTunes would go out and find any new content, i.e. MP3's on your hard drive and add them to the iTunes folder, and to the iTunes library. This is not happening. I've even tried pasting the new MP3 files in the iTunes folder and then going through what I think are the steps for adding them to the iTunes library, and they still do not show up. I am selecting Add to Library, and then in the dialog box that pops up I am thinking that I am selecting one of the items in the list, and I do hear the iTunes sound that usually indicates it is finished. Can anyone help me with this?
