Hi Mary,
I forgot to add that you can simplify these keystrokes if you use the
trick that Daniel recently reported of holding down any key and then
pressing the number in the row of number keys that would correspond to
the NumPad Commander key assignment shortcuts. For example, you could
hold down an arrow key and press the "+" key to interact instead of
using VO-Shift-Down arrow. This should also simplify the commands for
moving to the top and bottom of the table. I'm still not practiced
with this due to using a laptop keyboard without a numpad. Muscle
memory just kicks in immediately (smile).
Cheers,
Esther

Hi Mary,
Geoff is correct that you can check or uncheck specific apps for
syncing. Try the following for your Mac:
1. Select "iPod Touch" under Devices in your Sources table. One way
to do this:
a. VO-I to bring up item chooser menu, type in "d e" for "Devices"
and select this
b. VO-Down arrow to "iPod Touch"
2. Navigate to the iTunes window for your device settings: Stop
interacting (VO-Shift-Up Arrow), VO-Right Arrow twice (you'll hear
"iPod Settings, scroll area"), and interact (VO-Shift-Down Arrow)
3. Navigate (VO-Right arrow) to the "Apps" tab and press it (VO-
Space). VO-Left arrow back to "Summary"
4. Navigate (VO-Down arrow) to "Sync Apps check box", which you want
to leave checked to sync apps
5. VO-Down arrow again to the pop up button "Sort by Name". You have
the option to change this by pressing (VO-Space) to "Sort by
Category" or "Sort by Date"
6. (Optionally) VO-Right arrow to the search text field for apps.
You have the option to type in part of a name here to narrow down
the listed apps (you may not need this now, but I do!). If you use
this, VO-Left arrow back to the pop up button before continuing.
7. VO-Down Arrow to the Apps Table and interact (VO-Shift-Down arrow)
8. VO-Down Arrow to hear each listed app announced. These are
grouped, so interact again if you want to change the status and VO-
Space to check or uncheck the checkbox.
9. Stop interacting (VO-Shift-Up arrow) and VO-Down arrow to the
next entry.
10. When you're done, stop interacting with the table (VO-Shift-Up
arrow), then navigate (VO-Right arrow) to either the "Cancel" or the
"Apply" button and press (VO-Space).
Pressing the "Apply" button will sync your selected applications.
Also, the Apps Table is a scrolling table, so use VO-Fn-Shift-Left
arrow (VO-Home) and VO-Fn-Shift-Right arrow (VO-End) to move to the
beginning or end of the table, where I've listed the laptop key
sequences first.

Hi Geoff,
I don't think the method you describe with the Windows version of
Itunes is available with a Mac. I've tried vo with arrows and
tabbing and interacting with the things I see that look like they
might offer something and what you describe isn't there; at least,
I'm sure not seeing it on the mac.
