Which versions of iTunes and Blindtunes? I tried them with Jaws 12 but
had
the same issues; I found myself tabbing through a bunch of choices,
like
search music library, go to iTunes store, edit, etc. Sometimes Jaws
was
silent or hesitant as I tabbed through the controls, giving me no idea
what
I had selected or what had current focus--like I was in a blank field.
I
can't access the sources sidebar or treeview like I used to with
control+shift+s; the only item it shows is music, r doesn't bring up
the
radio option. What happened to the former functions, where I could
select
radio and open a treeview showing different genres and stations
covering
those genres? I could pick a station of my choice on the fly (once I
discovered it and could remember the station name) by opening the
treeview
and typing the first few call letters or part of the station's name.
These
functions seem to have gotten disabled somehow when I uninstalled and
reinstalled iTunes and/or Blindtunes. Thanks for your continued
observations.

It works with JAWS 11 and up however the itunes tore requires jaws
12
to
work.

I sent this the other night but got no response. Do you know if the
Blindtunes scripts still work with any version of Jaws? I can't afford
upgrading to the latest version of Jaws; besides, it creates more
complications with my braille display functions. Thanks.

I uninstalled iTunes with Revo Uninstaller and tried to download a
new
iTunes from the Apple web site; but after the installation was almost
finished I got these error messages:
The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be
removed. Contact your technical support group.
OK
iTunes
iTunes Installer completed
Errors occurred during installation before iTunes could be
configured.
Your system has not been modified. To complete the
installation, run the installer again.
Click Finish to exit the installer.
< Back Finish Cancel
I clicked "finish" and proceeded to uninstall Apple Software Update
and
some related programs. After that I went to Downloads and installed
the
new
version of iTunes, as well as an earlier BlindTunes, but didn't find
iTunes
as accessible as before. I landed in a group of buttons such as
Search,
Music, Store, etc. I couldn't get to the Radio tree view by selecting
Sources (control+shift+s) followed by R; it just showed a list of
options
to
purchase from the store. So I uninstalled iTunes again and tried
downloading an earlier version, but got an error saying a file couldn't
be
read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. (See below.)
Any
ideas why iTunes has become less friendly with Jaws (I'm staying with
Jaws
9.0 for accessibility reasons), or how the Radio feature got disabled?
Thanks.
iTunes
The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created
by
a newer version of iTunes.
OK

I have heard this error before. You will have to uninstall and
download
the latest from the apple website. This is most likely the issue.

I tried checking for updates but got the following error:

The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check
graphic
0
your Internet connection, or try again later.
OK
I have several versions of iTunes or Blindtunes in my Downloads
folder.
I'll see what I can do. Thanks.

I would uninstall and download the latest from the site. Are you
running the latest scripts?

No, every week I get an Apple software update prompt, and I
ignore
it.
I found that later versions of iTunes aren't as Jaws friendly as
earlier
versions. I remember trying to update and getting an error message
like
the
update couldn't be completed or contact the web administrator. Thanks
again.

I wonder if they took it out. Are you running the latest
iTunes?

Tonight I opened iTunes to play something on the radio, but
whenever
I open the tree view for each genre to view stations to choose from, I
get
this error:
graphic 0 iTunes graphic 0
An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service.
graphic
0 Check your Internet connection, or try again later.
OK
My Internet is connected, but no matter how many times I try
to
find
a station this message is repeated. What caused this, and can it be
fixed?
Thanks.
