Hi Davy, I have tried everything but with no success. I too have encountered this issue with the latest version of iTunes and JAWS. I had recently reset my phone when iOS 10 first came out. I typically like to format and start over when a major iOS update is made available.
All went great when selecting items to sync, but when I got to the list of apps, no luck. In older versions, my screen reader would only see one list of apps but each app had a checkbox. Since the latest iTunes 12.5.1 though, I encountered the same as you, my screen reader would siply read the app name, the version and the word "install", but when I tried everything, including some advanced JAWS keys, nothing I did could change that word "Install" to "Remove". So I did the next best thing, I wrote to Apple accessibility and brought this glitch to their attention. If I were you, I would suggest you do the same. The more people send them e-mails with this issue and they might consider bringing this up higher on the priority list and hopefully fix this in a future version. Anyways, I hope this helps!

Hi folks I managed to go back to my previous installed fb app with sighted help but in my oppinion this is nolonger possible without sighted help. This is how it goes: you connect the iphone to a windows pc and tab till you get the iphone button and enter or spacebar it. Then tab a few times till you get a tree list which seems to be not accessible. But when pressing then the a for apps you get the word apps on brail and speech. Then tab further to the list box and with nvda and wineyes that apps list is shown and besides the names of the app you hear the option remove or install which means the app is or is not on your iphone but was previously installed or backed up via itunes. Then you believe it must be possible to remove or install apps by itunes on windows but it is not, and here the storey ends. Entering the list item does nothing, even the most advanced mouse actions and performing leftclicks on the numpad doesn’t make any sense. However, when sighted people click on the item, the installation starts and when clicking on apply normally you here the sync sound and the app should have been installed on the iphone. Is there nolonger a possibility for blind persons to perform this action? Regards Davy -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
