Hi Jeremy and Apple, What sort of files do you want to transfer? I am just asking because unless they are app-specific files there may be work-arounds using Dropbox or similar cloud storage services. Unfortunately iTunes File Transfer to my knowledge hasn't been accessible at all in the iTunes 12.x versions of the software. I agree with Richard that you should take a few minutes to let Apple know about how frustrating of an experience this is and that really they should work with the screenreader companies to make some of what is no longer accessible better instead of breaking it and then leaving it alone. One benefit I could see from the recent merger of the companies which represent two of the primary screenreaders, Jaws and Window Eyes, is that maybe this will eventually result in better support for applications like iTunes. Larger companies may be taken a bit more seriously by companies like Apple, Microsoft and so on when it comes to accessibility.
Anyhow, I assume from what I read online and heard in Podcasts that iTunes may get another fairly major overhaul this fall when iOS 10 is released so let's all hope that things will get better again for a change instead of worse. Certainly if Apple gets a few hundred or even a couple of thousand emails from frustrated and outraged blind people they may start to realize that a commitment to accessibility should not only apply to a few flagship products of their choosing, i.e. MacOS, iOS, TVOS and WatchOS, but also for supporting software and services such as iTunes, the iCloud.com website and so on. And in order to save time I am CC'ing Apple Accessibility on this email. Please Apple, wake up and listen to what us visually impaired/screenreader users have to say. You gave us accessibility to the iPhone, iPad, Mac computers and all that, now give us accessibility to the tools that enrich the user experience for those devices. iCloud.com isn't even accessible with a Mac and Voiceover and nowadays with the tools available for web development there is no excuse for that. What ever happened to "It's like magic" and "It just works"?

When I select the Apps item I tab through the screen but must literally tab hundreds of times through all my apps. I have about 160 apps, but sizes and date installed and such are displayed which increases the times I have to tab through apps I'm not interested in working with. I gotta believe we blind computer users waste an enormous amount of time having to re-learn software after every release. Its ok for one or two pieces of software, but at some point this gets very tiresome when you have lots of software on your computer--especially software such as iTunes which isn't always the most intuitive or accessible.
