Hi, Where is this media folder found within iTunes, and how do you create this mobile applications folder from the computer using iTunes? I'm not all that familiar with how to do things using iTunes from the computer, because I have an older version of iTunes on my desktop, running Jaws 11, and an older version of BlindTunes. I made the mistake of downloading a newer version of iTunes running Jaws 11, and a newer version of BlindTunes, And now the iTunes program is not as accessible as it is on my desktop. To further complicate the matter, I cynced My iPhone 4S and iPad with the desktop computer, which is over at my parents house, and I have a laptop over here at my house. So in short, I guess I just never took the time or had a reason to learn about this stuff. But it does sound interesting. Also, do you know of a way I can make the iTunes on my laptop More accessible? I cynced With my desktop, only because all of my music is on there. I hope all of this makes some kind of sense to you. Look forward to hearing from you, thanks Raul.
