Hello Karen, To the contrary, Windows users do, in fact, have Apple IDs. Windows users simply install iTunes for Windows if they want iTunes for desktop functionality. Some Windows screen readers work better with iTunes for Windows, than others but, iTunes for Windows is definitely screen

I did use spotlight search and could only find web based references. Someone from our assistive technology set up the hard drive so I’m not sure. I am able to open it in the app store but can’t find it on my computer. Perhaps I should contact her and ask for help. Marie Lyons > On Dec 26,

Hi, Donna: Yes, as you need PSTN support, I can be a little more specific. You need two pieces, a software application that will work accessibly on your Mac, and a gateway service that your Mac can register with that will carry calls back and forth to the PSTN. 1.) On the app side I would
