Hi Steve,
I also went back for now. I did a system restore in Windows 7. Once it was done and I tried to open iTunes it also told me that something was wrong, I then ran the installer and was presented with the option to either Repair or Uninstall. I selected repair, it went through its stuff and afterwards everything was back to normal as before.

I then had to uninstall iTunes, along with the other associated Apple programs like Apple Software, Bonjour, and a couple others. Apple has a prescribed order to uninstall that stuff. After that, I could re-install iTunes earlier version. Yes, this is an unfortunate instance; and I usually don't update stuff right away. Regretfully, live and learn.

I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit and the latest Jaws 16 update. As I said before, I can still use Control+F to go to the search library field, tabbing from there I get the same announcement of the radio buttons like Music, Movies etc. and this section still ends with “More”. After “More” I get the usual 3 radio buttons, “My Music”, “Playlists” and “iTunes Store”. Then I get to a button which still is correctly identified as “Songs” and that is where it needs to be in order for the column browser to work. I can activate the button and tab into the list of items, however, all of them (Songs, Albums, Artists, Composers and Genres) are only read by Jaws as “button”. If I put it on Songs, the first button in that list, I can tab and I get 4 items which are only announced as “Button” as well. I realized that the first 3 are my columns (Genre, Artist and Album) and the fourth is the song list view. I can arrow down in these as before and items are filtered, but of course Jaws reads only “Button” anywhere you are and it’s very bag. All I can suggest at this point is to once again flood [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> with emails letting them know how useless iTunes currently is. It may also be of use to inform the maker of whichever screenreader you use as this may be a fix required on their side. I do, however, find it unfortunate that something like this isn’t tested by Apple so it could be caught before a public release and either it could be fixed or an appropriate warning could be displayed advising screenreader users that there are problems in the new update and to stick with the previous one for the time being. I haven’t decided yet whether I want to downgrade, a Windows Restore would of course be the simplest solution, but I also installed a new printer since the update and while reinstalling it wouldn’t be such a big deal, I might just wait to see if Apple will release an update to fix this or if Freedom Scientific can come up with a solution so Jaws once again reads all it should read. I fortunately don’t really use iTunes on a daily bases so waiting for another update might be OK for me.
